I learnt a similar form and it looks like a nanquan basic form.
My version was played slower and with more purposeful breathing, similat to sanchin.

...done on meth.

For Cynthia at Shaolin, check out our 1996 February/March cover.

It's true, you can buy a belt at Shaolin, but it doesn't mean anything. Shaolin doesn't use a belt ranking system.

oh my - she needs a valium

[Lokhopkuen]

She's cool! Kicked me off of the hood of a car in a movie once. Nice lady

[David Jamieson]

apparently she's doing that set with a few busted ribs.

in which case, it's ok! lol

she is a classic example of someone who was not really all that great, but being pretty much the only person around at the time doing CMA (I believe she used to do a wushu Long Fist routine), there was really no one to compare her to, so she became, by default, the standard bearer at the time; seeing her do the Fu Hok, it's glaringly obvious how she has really no concept of root, power generation, full-body unity of movement, or clue about the "essence" of Hung fist; I mean, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't particularly impressive given her background;

it's a little odd though that someone who has had a reasonably successful MA and film career has, for whatever reason, chosen to hitch her wagon to the USSD star...

Her studio is with ZUSDS now... LOL

Wow, Cynthia Rothrock has really gone downhill! If that was supposed to be some sort of nanquan, where are the stances? I don't want to sound too critical, but, c'mon. Ah, well.

[TenTigers]

worse than "some sort of nan chuan," it was a horribly ba$tardized version of Hung-Ga's Tiger Crane form.
What really gets my goat is when they take a form, have no clue whatsoever as to the application of the moves, or how to do them properly, and replace them with horrendously disturbing interpetations-which have no application, but to them, somehow, they look like Kung-Fu. It WAS Kung-Fu before! What makes you think you are fixing it?
I just don't get the thinking...mind boggling.

[TenTigers]

I would be interested in who taught her that form.

well, she was probably at a lot of the same tournaments that you were at over the years, and you did say that USSD is known for videoing other people's stuff, and seeing as you ARE an 11th Dan Great-Grand-Master of the Ten Tiger's System....

That is certainly NOT our Fu Hok Seung Ying Kuen.
Not even if you filmed it from a circus mirror....
I am sure she is doing it just as she was taught, but it was obviously by someone who had no experience in TCMA.
Looking at the "interpetation" of the Tiger section, it is plain to see that they had no idea of the moves, let alone understanding of martial application in any art. Even if a reasonably knowledgable Karate-ka were to see the original movements, he would be able to see the application. This just shows a complete lack of understanding of technique.

Actually the only "buy your belt" schools I seen were here mainly in the states. They have "Karate" sign up but are teaching everything but karate....oh and the kung fu ones were probably worse.
