由来
  • 新加拳的发明人是已故的赵春德师傅。
  • 新加拳起源于1985年。由于当时新加坡武术教练学会(Singapore Martial Arts Instructors' Association)有许多派别,基于团结的精神,他们决定发明一种属于本地的新武术。最后,学会决定让赵师傅负责创造。
  • 新加拳结合了新加坡武术教练学会中八位大师各自代表的武术招式。这八个招式是马来武术、跆拳道、空手道、北少林功夫、南少林功夫、柔道、合气道及印度棍术。
  • 新加拳刚开班时,学员都来自不同的种族背景,学生人数也达到数千名。
  • 如今,这门武术已逐渐没落,学员人数也减少许多。到了2017年,只剩下大约十人在练习新加拳。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Singa Fist was created in 1985 by the late martial artist Teo Choon Teck.
  • At that time, there were many factions in the Singapore Martial Arts Instructors’ Association. In the spirit of solidarity, some members decided to invent a new martial art unique to Singapore. The association appointed Teo to create it.
  • Singa Fist blends moves from eight martial arts represented in the Singapore Martial Arts Instructors’ Association: Silat, Taekwondo, Karate, Northern Shaolin Kungfu, Southern Shaolin Kungfu, Judo, Aikido and Silambam.
  • When Sing Fist was launched, it drew thousands of students from various ethnic backgrounds.
