Hey,

I was wondering for the individual and various styles and lineages what beginner forms syllabus do each utilize?

For instance in the 7 Star Praying Mantis system that I study we have the 9 beginner sets that utilize important concepts and provide the base skills for the beginning practitioner.

The 9 beginner sets:

Tan Tui (tan toy)
Tui Jin
Gune Lik Kuen (gong li quan)
Sap Sei Lo Tan Toy (shi su lu tan tui)
Bong bou (beng bu)
Chap Choy (cha chui)
Sap Pa Sau (shi ba shou)
Dore Guan (dou gang)
Ha Fu Ga Chau (hei hu jiao cha)

Which each represent a specific concept of use for developing the base level gong fu.

and beginner weapon sets:
Ng lung guan
Bagua dao
Double broadsword, etc...


Thanks for any input.
