Lotus Flower Kung-Fu
Explanation:
Kung Fu To'a (Persian: کونگ‌فو توآ) is a unique style of Kung Fu with Yoga influences focused on a healthier mind and body. It is not just another style of Kung Fu, it is a complex combination of Northern and Southern Shaolin.[1] To'a training essentially depends on mastering combative forms (khat), which are unarmed as well as armed, with particular emphasis on physical and mental health and meditation practices.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung_Fu_To'a

Lotus flower Kung-Fu is born from the compilation of several styles of Kung-Fu, in the personal research of Guilherme da Luz.

Explanation:
The Art of Kung Fu TO'A OR Lotus flower Kung-Fu


Lotus flower Kung-Fu
Lotus flower Kung-Fu is born from the compilation of several styles of Kung-Fu, in the personal research of Guilherme da Luz. He adapts them to him, to nowadays and to the people who followed its path since the very beginning in 1995. This method of Kung-Fu has turned into a more internal place, giving room to the exploration of a martial art with deep connections to healing and meditation. All these relationships happening from the inside to the outside and not derived from warrior attitudes which take the opposite direction. This is where the real struggle takes place. The struggle within. With ourselves
