Bak mei?

Regarding Nine Step Push I heard it is based on an old set/exercise called 3 step push. This patern is repeated 3 times hence Nine Step Push.

Olaf,
Yes, there's a funny thing going on, with the nine moves, most are composed of combinations of 3 (the 4th is sometimes a transition, or there can be some steps). Sometimes when I count it out it works, sometimes not, it is a bit of a puzzle.
There are the parts that repeat, so I count them once in the 9.

Also, the sets of 3 can sometimes be altered to drop one from before, and add one from after, changing the flow and application. Also,

The signature move, with the clearing hands, has 3 parts, done 3 times.

Also, as a tidbit, I count the steps. Its always different, but between 100 and 120, supposedly, its 108.

Now, I don't think this means anything, just trivia. Exploring it, however, did yield some interesting results, so have at it.

And remember, somebody along the line may have added something that throws the numbers off.... If indeed they mean anything to begin with! LOL...

i cant place it, but ive read about the 3 step push in my bak mei research... cant remember where... may have been the pak mei ass. in hk website...


yeah, we count it off too... sifu will be like, okay start at 37... makes it easier...

Yum Cha,

You are right in the changes and that you can count them in different ways. Of course we don't know for sure what is the orgin of the name but i just liked this one. The one of making the character nine on the floor also seems quite well accepted. I will try tomorrow if i can make that one work!

Hi Syn,
I don't count it off like that, just on occasion when I'm playing around with it.

I think the 3 step push, and jik bo, and the sam bo Jin (SPM 3 step) may have all come from a similar place. There is a suggestion of southern white crane San Chen....

And they all seem to be hakka arts.

Its getting pretty forensic to try and take it back like that...

Yea, the shape in the sand thing is pretty fun. Never much concerned myself with that side of it though. The issue with counting, try to separate your breathing next....

Yes, I know the video and the footage. Some very good work indeed. I wish I knew who they were. One older and rather larger gent did Sub Baat very well, I wish I knew who he was.
