Da Hong Quan

[RenDaHai]

I can't watch the Video in question....

But ShenFa is an integral part of all styles of KungFu. If you understand the method of generating power for a particular technique, then the correct Shenfa is implied. By exagerrating the Shenfa you will increase potential for explosive power.

I wouldn't try copying Wugulun Pais shenfa as it is very specific, but if you understand your own move doing it with Shenfa is easy and essential.

If the video exagerrates ShenFa it is not neccesserily performance...Depends how it does it. Many people do this.

I knew Da Hong Quan once. I stopped practicing it back when I went through my "Form Purge"....only later I discovered it was part of Shaolin's Tai Tzu system....

Now I have to relearn it.

One of these days I am going to fly out by Sal for a couple of weeks, with a couple of good cameras. Then I will post him tossing me around on Youtube.

The best thing to use to brush up is the Abott's book on Da Hong Quan.
