basic shaolin form

[Shaolin101]

Does anyone know the name of this basic Shaolin sequence.
Some of the moves are

Stand at attention
Left foot moves to the left, head turns to the left
inner circular block to forward stance
right hand reverse punch
kick, punch, land in horse stance, punch
jump up, land feet together, knees bent, right fist strikes left palm
jump, twist to face other direction,land in horse stance, punch, other hand above head.

Cant remember the rest, but think it had palm strikes and low back stance with crane beak to the back and other hand palm to centre.

[Shaolin101]

no, although i have done that one! it doesnt go into that low cross stance (what i know as seven star stance)

will try to think if i can describe it any better.

Thanks for this though - never knew what it was called. Should it actually say five stap form, or is it five step form?

[MasterKiller]

Wu = 5
Bu = Stance
Chuan = Fist

5-Stance fist.

101,

That form is called Gong Fu Chu'an and just happens to be the form Shi Xingwei started us on Friday. Hopefully, we'll finish it up this week. It's a basic form just like Shaohong Chu'an.

i hear there are many versions of dis form....but the gung fu chang form i know dat was taught to me by master shi xing ying doesnt start off with a inner circular block to gung bo....

is that really a form? is it a traditional fighting form? cuz it looks more like wushu

[MasterKiller]

It's a modern form a lot of schools use for beginners.

it is a very good form for learning teh basic stances. we use a variant that after the catstance, you spin all the way down into xopan (snake stance) then up to ding bu, do some arm thing, cross behind zabu (sneaking stance) and lift knee to bowstance, then finish. very good form.

[Shaolin101]

I'm pretty sure it is lian huan - i may have learnt some minor differences but it is nearly exact. thanks for all the help.

[Pk_StyLeZ]

im pretty sure it is too
every shaolin monk or most shaolin monks and teachers teaches the form a different a way or does it differently a little bit
and u are welcome
=)

man! that's a short form!

Even the shortest of the bsl forms i have learned is ten x longer than that and the short forms are reputedly for getting a breather in the middle of your workout!

even lin bo kuen is longer.

When were such forms begun. I mean the stances look good and the rest is all good, but they seem really short in my experience with the Shaolin fist methods.

shaolinlueb- your cannonfist form is way longer than that. is that how you started with these short ones?

cheers

[norther practitioner]

Thats where the question of where does a stance drill end and a form begin.

In anticipation of this thread, I asked Shaolin monk Shi Xinghao to address some of the basic core forms of Songshan Shaolin in the Shaolin Special 2004 (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=500). He shows the first line of 6 fundamental forms and discusses their role in the system. Additionally, Hengxin shows his complete Wubu quan form in another article.

The answers are out there...:cool:

Yeah, Gong Fu Chu'an starts from ready into a left hand outside block in a horsestance, then shifts into a forward stance-reverse punch..kick-punch, etc...

I just figured since the original poster seemed to be unsure of what he was actually practicing, it was possible he had the moves incorrect.

As for whether "Gong Fu Chu'an" is part of a larger form, I haven't really asked. Later.

[Pk_StyLeZ]

like i said..i heard there are many version of gung fu chang..and the gung fu chang i know doesnt start with inner circular block mabu into gung bo..and many others i seen doesnt start like this either..but as i said..gung fu chang is not a truly tradtional form..it is more of a form for performance show wise of basic moves.....atleast that is my theory.....and i tink my theory is correct...because shi xing ying taught me one way..and i was watchin shi yan feng do some form and i asked him wat form is that..and he said his group gung fu chang back in china when he went on tours..so yeah

[Pk_StyLeZ]

this is the kung fu chang form i know..but it a little bit different at the end...we have a tornado kick fall dwn and the the famous e hahaha gray bo pose at the end of ours instead

Oops sorry,
It's more commonly known as the Tai Tzu Chang Chuan. It's the first clip on the page.

The clip only shows the first section of it though.

[Pk_StyLeZ]

ooo dat form
shaolin traditional long fist
i love dat form
ya dat likeonly the first section of it
it a cool form
so hard though

[Royal Dragon]

I do the form on both sides, It's really good to build your endurance. If you do it slowly and ultra relaxed, like a Taiji Quan set, it's really good for building your energy too. I think it's better for that than the Yang style forms of the same length for sure.
