Shaolin name for this exercise??

[Guoshu]

Hi, I hope someone can tell me the name so I can research or if someone can give me some info on the following drill. I can't remember the name of it, I'll try and describe it. As far as I know it was a drill trained in a room in the temple; the floor is eroded from the constand foot work.

From a horse, you shift to a left single leg stance and press your left palm out
You return to horse and pound your right fist in to your left palm
You shift to a right single leg stance and press your right palm out
You return to horse and execute two punches.
Then you repeat from the left single leg stance.

Hope that makes sense.
Thanks!

Did you see that drill in the "Shaolin Temple" movie?

[Guoshu]

No, I was shown it by my instructor, I'm now living in an area away from the clubs. I emailed him, he believes its called something like "gum gong" but I can't find anything when I google it for more information. Thought I'd check here

There are many versions of this drill.

The name is "Vajra Pounding Pestle" (Chin.: Jīngāng Dǎoduì 金刚捣碓).

Vajra in this case is short for Vajrapāṇi Bodhisattva (Chin.: Jīngāngshǒu Púsà 金刚手菩萨), a fierce Dharma protector who symbolizes the Buddha's power. A practitioner of this drill must train it with explosive crushing power, as if taking on the spirit of Vajrapāṇi.

pounding stone is the fist into palm move.
shifting in stances get's you used to getting mobile in them.
punching is punching. :)

It's not a drill that I want to spend my training into it. A combo drill should have one move that set up next move. This combo drill has no logical connection between one move to the next.
