Shorin Kempo Kaikan New Zealand

Shorin Kempo New Zealand started in the 80’s as Sir Gee Dorr Kung Fu. Situated in Auckland, it began with Sifu Robert McInnes who based the art on an ancient shaolin form of kung fu that was taught to temple guardians known as Jen Chi.

Most monks learnt one form or another of shaolin kung fu but the elite that were chosen to protect the monasteries with a guardian system style such as Sir Gee Dorr Kung Fu.

This style was created by Master Lai Ching How, who picked the best techniques from all the different shaolin systems to create Sir Gee Dorr Kung Fu. He then developed the style further by basing all the movements of Sir Gee Dorr on the one muscle movement of the snake.
