龍爪练习法
LONGZHAO Liànxí fǎ

Complete study through orthodox Principles and Methods !

Innovation & Tradition

Traditional teaching methods are undoubtedly the best for acquiring skills in Chinese martial arts, tested in real (not hypothetical) situations over thousands of years.
Unfortunately, they require time to yield effective results.
However, in this historical period, practitioners lack time, resulting in the proliferation of hundreds of Kungfu, Taijiquan, and self-defense courses, mostly offered by inadequately prepared "teachers" who have often learned some techniques from attending occasional seminars of a few hours, or even from YouTube masters.
Many instructors have never had, nor have they ever had, a Master (no photos, no videos, no information), but they are skilled enough to post content (often partial or incorrect) on social media.

Beware of Fake Kungfu or Taijiquan !
True and false are very similar to an inexperienced eye.

A different method !

A sign of our times, people have become accustomed to quick courses that have nothing to do with the "true" techniques of Chinese martial arts, offering only empty sequences devoid of the substance that makes this art an excellent method for self-defense or health care.
Our Association, under its Technical Director Master Zanetti, stands out for over 49 years of continuous practice (since September 1975) with many Chinese Masters.
He is indeed the only Westerner recognized as an "Indoor Student" by three great Chinese Masters, who have also bestowed upon him various Quanpu (ancient manuals) of their styles.

Do not confuse method and purpose


Often, method and purpose are confused, leading to schools that practice only empty forms lacking effectiveness and skill.
The "International Longzhao Association" follows an extremely innovative study and training method for the West, closely linked to the purest Chinese tradition.
The "龍爪练习法 Lóngzhǎo Liànxí fǎ" Method is based on understanding and training in the principles of practiced styles.
Through ancient training methods of our Association, it significantly reduces the learning time for kungfu skills and rapidly increases technical proficiency.
