Ch'a Ch'uan Kung Fu

Ch'a Ch'uan is designed for long-distance combat, and is punctuated by tremendous leaps and back flips. Attacking is started with a leap attack or flying jump kick, and is followed by as many strikes as possible, then by a leaping or back flip retreat. In a single combat round, one can leap in, fire off all but one action, and then leap out, to return at the beginning of the next melee round.

The student must live the life of a Yusuf nomad to learn Ch'a Ch'uan. That includes learning to ride and fight from horseback, and desert survival skills, as well as, learning about herding horses, sheep and goats. It also involves participating in daily rituals of prayer, and fasting.
