what forms do you do in kungfu?

[jmd161]

So can we all give a rundown on what's disciplines we've learned in kung fu? I thought that's what this post was about.

Bak Sil Lum = Northern Shaolin Longfist 14yrs

Cheung Kune Pai = Sung Style Southern Longfist (Tai Tzu's Chang Chuan) 14yrs

Sil Lum Hak Fu Muhn = Shaolin Black Tiger 4yrs

I did karate before those styles.

I knew Tai Tzu was a longfist style but not that it was of southern origin. Can you tell of any good Tai tzu web sites?

Well, Tai Tzu's is a Northern Longfist style that also later spread to the South during the southern Sung Dynasty. So there are still very northern Tai Tzu's styles around ,but Cheung Kune Pai is very Southern in flavor.

The best place to get Tai Tzu's info on the web that i know of is Royal Dragon discussion forums. He has alot of Tai Tzu's knowledge and footage. You can read alot of info there ,i'm sure you know that Tai Tzu's is very rare and not much info can be found on the web.

Bak Sil Lum = Oh! Great!

"Bak Sil Lum"? oh yea.."North Little Forest"!!
That's really good...
I've studied SpringTime for 3yrs
Boxing, Wrestling, and Muay Thai all in the past 3yrs..
The thing is this.....
I've been developing my hand skills for quite some time, but I feel that I don't have enough kicks to my tool box... is there any forms from the "Northern Little Forest" that could assist me? "Springing Leg" (Tan Tui) maybe?

P.S. I only ask you this for 2 reasons.
1. You mentioned that it was a northern discipline, and since it's colder in the upper reasons of china, they tend to use their feet..

2. You also said that it was "long fist", and from my understanding, your punches and kicks were just called "fist", but "long fist" was the term for "feet" or "kick"

.. Get back at me!

Well Sil Lum #1 is nothing but kicks ,so that should help alot. But you should be able to kick pretty good by now. How often do you work on your kicks and which ones?

Well, i've never heard that reasnoning before. Northern China is more flat ,so kicks were used more opposed to the rocky uneven terrian in southern china.

2. You also said that it was "long fist", and from my understanding, your punches and kicks were just called "fist", but "long fist" was the term for "feet" or "kick"

Hmmm, i've never heard that way of putting it ,but okay.

.. Get back at me!

Done!

As far as my kicks...

Muay Thai is probably the discipline that I've had the least amount of training in, but most of my kicks are usually..
Shin kicks/sweeps, Front kicks, Roundhouse kicks (that go no higher than the waist), and I'm slowly developing a viscious axe kick..
The thing is that I don't have the time to ever train wiht anyone muay thai, so I needed forms that I could use to practice, breakdown the movements, and really on develop the snap in my kicks. (and more kicking techniques)

You mentioned Shaolin form #1....what is the form named.?
I came across this link.. do you think it will help?

Shaolin - #1 Koy Moon - Open The Gate

Well the only way to IMPROVE your kicks is to practice them. A form is not really going to make a difference unless you practice the kicks alot. So i would say the best thing to do is work alot more on your kicks and less on your fist techniques.

I was a pure kicker at one time so, i started working on my fist techniques alot more to bring them up to par. Now i'm much more of a fist person ,plus i'm doing a southern style which is heavy fist structured.

I can tell allready that your style of gong fu is from Southern China. Did it come from Canton or Fujian?

Hi this is my first post, the form i'm learning at the mo is Taizhu He Quan, Ancestors Crane Kung Fu

Ging Mo Kune(Malcolm Sue Kung FU School)...

I was just wondering if anyone does a type of kungfu and i was also wondering if you do kungfu, then what forms do you practice ( if you know the names). I'm just interested in seeing what types of kungfu people practice and what forms they do.

I myself do a type of Shaolin Kungfu, im not sure on the complete style name.
Some forms that i practice are Tan Tui, Chen Chen Chuan, and Man Chi Hung

Im not sure if those are the correct spellings but i tried sounding them out so let me know and thanks for taking your time to read what i have to say and i hope to learn more about your kungfu styles.
