    Jing Wu Original Curriculum- 10 Sets?

    The barehand forms included in the Shanghai Jing Wu curriculum include Tan Tui/ Tam Tui, Gong Li Quan/ Gung Lik Kuen, Jie Quan/ Jeet Kuen, and Da Zhan Quan/ Dai Jin Kuen. I read in an older thread entitled "1909" that Tuo Zhan Quan/ Tuo Jin Kuen (Escape Battle) was included in the original 10 forms in the Jing Wu curriculum in Shanghai. I think it is interesting to note that many styles associated with the Hong Kong Jing Wu Association, like Eagle Claw (through Lau Fat Mang and Lily Lau), do not practice Da Zhan Quan, but practice Tuo Zhan Quan instead. Does anyone know what forms were included in the original Jing Wu curriculum?

    Thanks!

    That's the next book I'm buying as soon as I finish Shaolin Trips. I have to say that I've been enjoying Shaolin Trips. I appreciate your perspective on martial arts in general and your description of the transformation of the Shaolin Temple. Plus the monks sound like they're pretty cool.

    Back to the topic - From the excerpts that I've seen from Brian and Elizabeth's book - the Jing Wu is both complicated and fascinating.

    Thanks for that endorsement, MightyB

    That's as good as an excuse for me to plug my book again. Shaolin Trips is available on Amazon.
