The Ten Elements of Choy Lay Fut

The Choy Lay Fut system utilizes what is dubbed the "ten elements" to form the basis for its devastating striking techniques. Each element has unique characteristics and methods of use. It is these ten elements that make up the basis of Choy Lay Fut's techniques. Variations of these elements can be found in every empty hand form

I also hate the canto "Choy Lay Fut" song the Chan guys use in all of their videos.

sounds just as annoying as Wong Fei Hong song.

I am sure you have an explanation, but I think in the video, the first two elements, Kum and Na are not done correctly. The Kum is more like a Dang Jab while the Na is more like a Bil Gi. The intention of Kum Na is to deflect, catch, grab and retaliate but they are not showed in the exercise I am afraid.

No disrespect is intended, it is just my humble opinion for the sake of discussions.

Shaolindynasty will have a better explanation than I, but I can try to explain.

Kum Jeong is covering palm, see this application:
http://www.ngfamilymartialarts.com/i...s/10el_kum.jpg
It's a slapping palm deflection in its application, even though in the air it seems like a pushing strike. But even in the palm deflection, there's still a punishing quality to it, it's not the run of the mill "slap-block".

For Na, or Chuen La, it is piercing through-uprooting-deflecting, as seen in this application:
http://www.ngfamilymartialarts.com/i...ts/10el_na.jpg
It may appear as a Bil Jee strike, but it's more about the forearm rotation for the deflection. I've noticed a lot of different hand shapes for Chuen La in different lineages of CLF, but the application was all the same.

XJ - you mentioned awhile back that everyone has a misconception of the 10 Elements/Seeds, and that you have a very different conception of what the 10 Elements are. Any ideas about how the 10 Elements you know turned into the 10 Elements you see in a lot of the other lineages?

sorry SD,

But, EXTRAJOSEPH, you are completely FULL OF SH!T!!!!!!! I saw you on the forum looking at the thread. I guess you view yourself very highly to feel you never have to answer anyone's questions. i can see you feel we all must listen to you. now thats funny cause the people on the forum are recognizing the fact that you are very biased and your only mission is to spread DISINFORMATION to try and keep your Chan Yiu Chi ahead of everyone.

you're a joke.

These are commonly practiced variations by our school of the concepts of the 10 elements. For the most part yutyeesam's explanation is correct.

Kum is meant as a deflection.

As far as the element shown as Na. It's short for Chuen Na which actually consists of 2 parts the uprooting shooting arm bridge (chuen) and the controlling/grabbing aspect (na).

Is that you in the video?
