    SC doesn't have long form but short drills (13 Taibo, 24 Shi) - 13 standing postures and 24 solo drills.
    i agree with u
    about short drills, thats not just shuai jiao, for most styles with forms each move from a form should be a drill by itself

    Once you stop doing this, you stop evolving. TCMA became great through this process, and then people striving to be sooo traditional, closed their doors, closed their minds, and their art stagnated, and remained where it was a hundred years ago, rather than continuing to grow and evolve. The Masters who developed these styles, did so by being open-minded, and taking what works.
    You can follow suit, or kill your Kung-Fu.
    I know a young fella from China that practices his familys' system. His Father required him and his brother to go learn another style. Apparently this tradition has been passed down for a lot of generations. Very good idea in my opinion.

    I mean "beginner training stage". In most of the SC school, the teacher will ask the new students to wrestle with the old students on the 1st day. This is a very good test.

    - If any student doesn't like physical contact then he may need to find other style.
    - It tells the new students that how much body balance knowledge that he has.
    - After few months, the new students will feel that it gets harder and harder for the old students to throw him, he will then build up confidence on his training program.
    - The most important one is, this will prove to a new student that no matter how strong he is, without a good throwing move, he cannot throw anybody (there is always a lucky punch but there will never be a lucky throw).

    Nope, the links specifically refer to "teams".
    These are not required school-system-wide MA courses.

    OK, then we're in agreement.
