Yau Kung Moon is a Chinese martial art that stresses not only physical, but also mental well being. This martial art is based on the movements of ten animals: Dragon, Snake, Tiger, Leopard, Crane, Lion, Elephant, Horse, Monkey, and Eagle. It incorporates not only their varied strengths, but also their gracefulness and speed, hence unifying these characteristics into one system.
Yau Kung Moon has both external and internal training. However, like most other styles of Kung Fu renowned for their internal power, the individual systems' manifestation of internal power are still somewhat secretive. The external training consists of 13 fist and 28 weapon sets. Besides the 18 classical weapons, sets with familiar farm implements (the hoe, long chain, spade, etc.) are also part of the system. This is a throw-back to the days when the monks had to be prepared to defend themselves even while working in their fields.
