Sheng Chi Kung Fu

Actually there are a couple of reasons for this. One reason is because the art was underground for so long. When the martial arts were outlawed in China, Shou' Shu' went underground. It actually fell into the hands of the triads. The triads preserved it, but because they were a criminal organization, histories of the lineage and inner workings were not preserved.Another reason is that Shou' shu' was originally only taught to a select group. It was not a widespread art. The more widespread arts are the ones that are popularized today. For obvious reasons some arts were kept hidden and even their existence was kept secret. One way to think about this would be an analogy to our own military. Does the US military divulge it's secrets?A third reason that the art is actually comprised of seven different arts. Only when these arts are taught in a combined system is it called Shou' Shu'. If they were taught individually they were called by their individual beast names.
