Cirsus of Shaolin or not ?

[Royal Dragon]

When you learn A Shaolin technique, it has a poetic name, it has not just an application but an entire strategy of its employment and specific techniques it changes into. It has its specific method of Shenfa, for generating power and avoiding the opponents attack. It follows the principles of Shaolin which are many. This is the same for every old style in China.

This is my experience as well. In actuality, I have found the technique to be secondary to it's method of deployment.

The success or failure of the technique does not lay in the technique itself, but in all the stuff "unseen" that leads up to it. The technique is just the finish.
