I'm kung fu..and so can u
I don't believe the "wall bag" is a traditional CLF set. Maybe something DFW invented himself?
Also, I've heard of three star and seven star blocking drill but not nine star.

I learned the nine star blocking from my old CLF days...and I was just a beginner

I learned a seven-star "blocking" routine in bagua - I wonder if there are any similarities, that would be interesting...

Can someone expalin the moves in 7 star and 9 star blocking please.
I was taught a drill in 7 star Mantis which I would call 5 star blocking
regular sam sing, wrist grab and leg sweep hitting calf against calf

3* - outside forearm down / outside forearm up /inside forearm down
5* - outside forearm down / outside forearm up /inside forearm down /inside forearm scrape or cutx2
7*outside forearm down / outside forearm up /inside forearm down /inside forearm scrape or cutx2 / duck under den choy (outside forearm)x2
9* outside forearm down / outside forearm up /inside forearm down /inside forearm scrape or cut / duck under den choy (outside forearm)/ rotate the waist and cut down (clothesline strike forearm to forearm)
of course these all go in pairs and flow together one after the other in cycles with no stopping.

Inward block, upper block, outer block high, then low, then gwa choi, then back fist, a couple of yum tsops while moving from diu ma to ding ji ma at two different points, chop choi from the twist stance, a couple more yum tsops, then do it again

yeah we had a moving version as well and a tighter version where each move was an attack and a defense.Inward block, upper block, outer block high, then low, then gwa choi, then back fist, a couple of yum tsops while moving from diu ma to ding ji ma at two different points, chop choi from the twist stance, a couple more yum tsops, then do it again
cool.
it's not too hard to devise new drills beyond the 3 stars though. take some of the hallmark stuff from the style, mirror it, attack and defend with it.
takes time and practice, but it's a good conditioning method for the bridges. not as hard a surface as a mook jong, but a different dynamic overall which is helpful in the overall progress of the person doing it.

This is kind of an intro, from what I interpreted. Afterwards, you have the wall bag set, a slightly more solid surface, and immovable. And then you move on to flesh against wood.
