Meltdawn,
For me "7 moves" is a short zig zag set which goes like this :
1/ sokiu (to the left) - 2/ lop sao double puch (to the right) - 3/ kaobi (to the left) - 4/ samtong (to the right) - 5/...

Ao Qin,
Interesting alternative opening. We don't do it, so thanks for the tip.

Meltdawn,

I must now reconsider...

Hi everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Great posts!!

"sup luk dong" is generally the first set a dragoner learns and arguably one of the foundations of the art.
I think that it is difficult to perform "sup luk dong" correctly. It has to do with...

Hi Shaolin Master,

Hi Shaolin Master,
What is the connection between Fujian dragon and Dongjiang dragon?
Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone,
Has anyone seen the performance of okinawa karate (naha te tradition : goju ryu, uechi ryu) and been able to connect techniques or principles to their own style : lung ying, pak mei,...

Ao qin is right. Lung ying is internal. No muscular force. Body mechanics and attitude are two different things.

FT,
I have not seen this video. Does the form you have seen include in the middle 3 successive jumping kicks, going approximately as follows :

I'm out.

Shaolin Master and Ao Qin: very interesting, guys - carry on !!
