My present training place, The Academy of Martial and Internal Arts, is...
Since Shi Yantuo left for San Diego (where his school is thriving I hear and I'm so happy for him), I've gone back to Bak Sil Lum practicing at The Academy of Martial and Internal Arts with my...
I've heard it associated with wugulun/xinyiba but to be honest, I don't know much about it beyond the form itself. Yantuo started showing it to me a few months ago, and it was the first time I was...
Once again, I am RONIN. :(
I really enjoyed working under Shi Yantuo. He was an excellent coach. For a while, we were working xiaohong, dahong, qixing, tongbi, taizu, meihuadao, & shisanqiang....
I love XHQ. It's a brilliant form, the mother form of Songshan Shaolin. It's so dense. I first learned in it '95 and have studied it under maybe half a dozen monks by now, and continue to extract...
As you'll read about in my Publisher's note in our upcoming Nov+Dec 2013 issue, the O-Mei Kung Fu Academy where I was previously training closed. Master Tony Chen sold the facility to Wing Martial &...
If you go to Shaolin and are doing serious research, you hunt down the master, not the style. A lot of great masters pass through Shaolin, leaving bits of their legacy. I'm impressed that B.Tunks...
I just noticed that it's Ericsepishii's b-day today. That's the kung fu brother I mentioned earlier on this thread. Sep was short for seppuku. Eric lurked here - never posted. He passed away a...
He's from Shandong originally, so he has the Yu Hai form, which he teaches to the wushu kids if they are interested, as well as the Songshan qixing mantis form, which is a regular part of our Shaolin...
Sadly, Yantuo left our school. He's now with Shaolin Shaolin Martial Arts with Yanqiang and Yankuan. Yan Fei is back leading our class.
I'm still doing baduanjin daily. At practice, I'm doing...
I try to keep things neat and tidy here, as much as possible for a forum, so I'll merge when I can. So what forms are you working?
As for my training, sadly, Yanchen returned to Shaolin, so now...
That's the form that is discussed in my cover story above. It's a fusion form, something Yu Hai created. Although he says in the article "The form is not Seven Star or Plum Flower", you can see...
Shaolin's relationship with mantis in recent years may well have come out of the 1982 movie Shaolin Temple. Yu Hai, who played the big monk, was from Shandong and brought a lot of mantis forms with...
That form begins similarly to our qixing tanglang and echoes it until a few moves after the first turn, but it's very very different from the version we do. That's par for the course - there's a lot...
We've picked up another Shaolin monk at O-Mei Kung Fu Academy. Joining Yan Fei is Yantuo. Yantuo is more into conditioning, so we've been doing more push ups, sit ups, medicine ball work, that sort...
All I know about gong li is what I've gleaned from Dr. Yang Jwing Ming's work.
There. You've seen my bottom. Happy now?
May all beings be happy.
bottomless pit of knowledge indeed. :p
I've always loved xiaohong and dahong. Like you, I was taught a few different versions. With dahong, I'm currently doing the version that my Shifu Yan Fei propounds, since I'm training under him. ...
Here are the Shaolin forms that I am currently practicing on a regular basis (at least once a week, hopefully more). Since this is the Shaolin forum, I'm restricting my list to Shaolin forms. ...
