editors note: "the suggesting strategy of this application is quite brutal. Its essentially saying 'knee your opponent low as many times as possible, and once their attention goes to your knees, smash their temple with double hammers'.....the options within that structure of combat flow are what make this style of fighting so dynamic, dangerous and in essence limitless."
this is exactly how I see most all applications in Shaolin taolu. Shifu might show you one, or two ways to apply thee form, yet in those couple examples, is usually an encyclopedia of variation and application options. fun stuff, never gets old, and as a philosophy (learning to do it one way, is learning a thousand ways, mastering one way is mastering all ways), is useful beyond fighting for sure.
