The style was founded after a group of 5 students requested help with their school class project in April of 2009.  The students wanted to teach the rest of the class self defense tactics.  They requested help and began to learn basic take-downs, hold breaks and counter-attacks.  Upon completing the project several of the students showed interest in continuing to learn. Thus, San Fang Shi (3 style form) was founded.

 San Fang Shi is based on 5 animal styles of Kung-Fu.

• Tiger  (Basics for all others)
• Mantis (Most of style is Seven Star)
• Crane (Balance and Agility)
• Eagle (Chin-Na)
• Snake (Taught to only highest of students)

San Fang Shi is designed for the student to achieve Black Sash (Belt) Level in 5-7 years depending on the students ability and effort each individual exerts into learning the style. Sashes (Belts) are awarded as each student successfully completes each animal style and/or shows the characteristics and disciplines needed to be a respected Kung-Fu student. (No testing Except for White Sash). Sash colors are as follows:

1. Beginner (1-2 Months) Need to pass test to achieve White Sash.
2. WHITE SASH
3. GREEN SASH
4. BLUE SASH
5. PURPLE SASH
6. GOLD SASH
7. BLACK SASH--(Black Belt Probation Period---Equal to Black Belt)
8. RED SASH--(Instructor Level)
