Funny that in responding to me you are quoting a translation that I made of Lin Boyuan's article. Where in there does it claim that the Yijin jing existed before the document written in 1624? In...

Maybe you missed the memo, but it's been pretty well known in the field of CMA history ever since Tang Hao (1940s) that the Muscle Tendon/Marrow Washing exercises (Yijin jing/Xisui jing) were a 17th...
Hi,
A while back I made this for my teacher and classmates, it is my own translation of the lyrics along with the pictures from Zhao's book:

i'd just like to say that i dream of a day when you all find somewhere better to discuss your "art" and this post is no longer at the top of a forum on traditional Chinese Shaolin martial arts.

"Duan da" appears to be an old concept in CMA. A style by that name is mentioned in Qi Jiguang's 16th century text. Also, it is mentioned and explicitly contrasted with "Chang quan" i.e. long...
Here (clicky) is a clip of me doing #6 at a tournament about 4-5 years ago. just for comparison.
Most versions of the story that I've seen do not have Yan Shangwu going to train with Tan San, only Long Zixiang. Lai's CLF comes from his training with Long, I believe.
Ravenshaw,
Interesting post, but I'm just curious what motivated your decision to study with Lai. Personally I'd rather start a new style from scratch than have to learn a different "flavor" (and...
Thanks, I don't have any footage of our Dan Dao set but there is some video of the BSL 9 Province floating around... I think it's Wing Lam's version:

Omar, it's Yaoying zuan tian, not Yuanyang zuan tian. Yaoying/Yaozi is a sparrowhawk. The characters are printed at the beginning of the clip.
Nice clip btw :) Zhu is great at really breaking...
Nice videos, as Gene said there is a big similarity between your 9 Province Pole and the set that we practice in Gu Ruzhang's lineage. Would love to see a version of your Dan Dao (single broadsword)...
very nice!
here is some video of Baiyuan tongbeiquan teacher Li Zhanhua, who i was fortunate to study with briefly in Beijing. he is not from Zhang Guizeng's lineage (which is part of what in...
how about this:
As I learned it, baguazhang circle walking is a training method, most CMA styles have basic methods of training stances and footwork. Circle walking develops various skills that are...
Well, that is how I am defining religious practice, as practice oriented towards fulfillment of specifically defined religious goals. If you want to talk about religious practice as something else...
This is not new, Tantui was part of the basic training of most Republican era academies, including the Nanjing Guoshuguan and the Jingwu school in Shanghai. It's a perfect beginner set, anyone who...
CMA are NOT religious practices and do not carry religious affiliations. There are no Buddhist, Daoist, or Muslim martial arts, just arts that may or may not be practiced by people who subscribe to...
regarding linear bagua, the two main systems are Liu Dekuan's 64 hands and the Houtian bagua in Gao Yisheng's system; Liu's form mixes bagua with the Liuhequan and Yuejia sanshou that he learned, ...
What China has that other places do not is a fairly large number of advanced practitioners of many different styles with 50+ years of traditional teacher-disciple training experience. These are the...
why would you want to do that?
all of these different systems have their own unique history and development.
there is a lot more to a system than the techniques that you see in forms, just because...
everything in china is negotiable, if you are training with a real traditional teacher then chances are you will not be in a "school" situation with fixed tuition, you will make arrangements...
The full name of the style is Bei Pai Shaolin Men. Bei Pai is the specific identifier for the style, it is the "Northern style/branch" of Shaolinmen, which is a more general term indicating that...
some good Mizongquan here:

we've been known to *gasp* "mix things up" a little bit at harmonious fist... sounds like that's not what the OP is looking for :rolleyes:
Here is a video of Changjiaquan (Chang family style):

maybe there is some surface similarity in the moves but to me the power generation seems...
this is Shaolin Paoquan, not Sanhuang paochui.
