The Origin and Meaning of World Nam Wah Pai

Nam Wah Pai Tai Chi (Taiji), Martial Arts, Qigong School was established in 1964 in Singapore. The current principal cum chief instructor, Master Sim Poh Huat has been leading Nam Wah Pai for more than thirty years. The techniques and knowledge taught in Nam Wah Pai are the result of the convergence of the essence of Shaolin, Tai Ji and other traditional Chinese martial arts, culminating in the formation of this independent and unique system of martial arts, thus the name Nam Wah Pai.

The external form of martial arts in Nam Wah Pai is based on Shaolin Arts while the internal form of Yang style Tai Chi (Taiji) is from the great Tai Chi (Taiji) Master, Yang Lu Chan, creator of Yang style Tai Chi (Taiji).

Based on the ultimate art and knowledge transcended through thousand years of real lineage, the Nam Wah Pai Tai Ji Gong uses a set of simple, easily understood and practical principals coupled with the teaching in a systematic way, from basic to advanced levels, delivered through a graded or examination system.

The aim of the World Nam Wah Pai is to advance and promote the traditional Chinese martial art and knowledge in a scientific and systematic way to the new world.
