Jian Chi is a martial arts school in Mascouche, Quebec, founded in 2002 by Shifu Christian Canciani. The school teaches Shui-Lu Kung-fu, a style whose name means “the way of water” and reflects an emphasis on fluid movement, clear focus, adaptability, speed, and controlled power. Shui-Lu draws on Long Fist Kung-fu and elements of Kempo, with influences from Shaolin Kempo and tai chi.

Classes combine physical and mental development with practical martial arts training. Students learn self-defence, responses to punches and kicks, close-contact positioning, and taos, or formal sequences of movements. Instruction also includes the use of traditional weapons such as the staff, sabre, short sticks, and nunchaku. The school offers training for children and adults, as well as parent-and-child sessions, and its website also mentions day camps. Jian Chi presents its practice as an opportunity to build technique and fitness in a welcoming, family-like environment. Prospective students are invited to contact the school or visit a class to learn more.
