Siu means Minute, detail, subtle
Lien means training
Tau means essential
So,
Siu Lien Tau = Essential of Minute/Detail/subtle training.
In today's word, it means the devil is in the details training.
According to evidence, we now know:
Siu of Siu Lien Tau was inherit from the Siu Training of Emei 12 Zhuang.
In Emei 12 Zhuang, Siu training is to train using the intention to subdue both one's own mind and the enemy. In this training, it uses fast Qi and Jing operation with the emphasis on all things source from the minute details.
Also, this training is to train to know the details and subtle so that one could liberate or remove one's limitation.
This is a set give birth to unlimited applications via one liberates or remove one's limitation.
So, why is it not training applications? because every application is a limit. and to have no limit means one needs to be unbound. and Thus, again, the training is suppose to remove one's limitation in mind and body.
It is via this remove of one's limitation one be able to make use of everyting without be tie up by a certain concept or certain move.
However, for past 100 years or so, this set has become a training of tie oneself up instead of librate oneself to unleast the power of unbound and using a minute move or effortless to dissolve the incoming attack.
SLT is not a basic set but an advance set. an advance set to help one remove one's limitation into formless. Thus, it said come accept goes let it, using silence to lead action.
The training of SLT is a journey of liberation toward boundless. the lesser one's limitation the closer one could do the come accept.... and thus the closer one to the silence.
It is an un ended journey but keep refining in every practice. It is not doing something to meet certain criterial or form or shape.
The core of training it is as simple as at every move can one be mindfully aware with the mind quiet and totally effortless to move the physical with ease.
This quiet mind and effortless physical with ease are the weapon one cultivate and carry with one when facing challenge. Not some robotic programing applications or structure. It is about let go and let GOD be.
The reason of it is fast in response because there is lesser and lesser limit or obstrucle in mind and body after one keep training with it.
The reason it can resolve incoming force with ease and effortless because it doesnt create limitation for oneself in term of mind and body and it doesnt bewitch by others' move or momentum, nothing fix thus everything flow.
Why Qi is also train in this set? because when the body is loosing up, the mind quiet down, the breathing deepen, Qi realm got to surface to aid one to have better handling of one's body inward.
That simple, let go and let God be, but most cant do it.
Happiness/Freedom = Simple
Struggle = complex
If your training doesnt lead you to the Happiness and Freedom, try my simple path and see for yourself.
