Why nuke?...Gung fu!!!
In one of our forms for Green sash. (I take Kun Tao/Silat) We have one called Shaolin Form.
And we bow in and out differently then with our other forms.
What we do is we circle our hands outward and then bring them up to chest level. Then go into a female stance and bow with a fist like inside a tiger claw.
Is this how they really do it in Shaolin?
Sorry for the stupid question.

He sounded more like a commercial for drugs than a warning."

The right fist with a left tiger's claw is the traditional Hung Gar bow, I believe.

If the hand is merely covering the closed fist, I would say it is a general CMA bow; if it is definitely in a tiger claw, I would say it's probably Hung Gar.

The tiger claw(left) enclosing the fist(right) is a Shaolin salute. It is seen in the Hung Fist styles for sure.
Bows can also be from the school specifically.
cheers
Kung Fu is good for you.

I think he means 'tiu ma' (cat stance)
In Chow Gar we greet with the left palm open (fingers straight) covering the right fist in 'tiu ma'

no. That's not what I ment.
Like most of your weight on one leg as you have one foot sort of in the air? No not that.
I ment like you put one leg in front of the other and you can go really low if you got strong leg muscles.
The stance is used mostly for up close and you just keep hitting them while in that stance.
Have to be careful not to be too tight with it so you can't spin out.
A good exerice is to go into Female then to twist out into Horse stance. That is really good for the legs, you feel the burn after a couple of seconds depending on how low you go.

ok … it's this term "female" stance that's confusing us? Does the stance involve the front foot being turned at a 90 degree angle (with the instep facing forwards) from the back foot? If so it is more commonly known as "ke lum po" or 'Unicorn Stance'

question:
has any of you ever learned the fighting applications that are within these traditional bows???

Kao Ma is often called "girl stance" (cow ma)
Or "scissor step" or "twist horse", etc etc.
I wonder what the orgina; names for stance were?
Ever style has a different way of calling the same thing.
I have heard the term female or gilr stance used before by some schools because it (the stance) looks vaguely like a curtsy of agirls bow.
cheers

Bows show political affiliation. I wasn't aware there is any martial application in covering your fist with a palm.question:has any of you ever learned the fighting applications that are within these traditional bows???
