    These styles all stem from Shaolin forms. In the case of wing Chun they have their own version of tui shou which you find so many taichiquan styles. Also, wing Chun forms are an extension of the penultimate exercise of the baduanjin Qigong.

    • @TheGrmany69
      @TheGrmany69 Місяць тому

      You also need to keep in mind that these styles like baguazhang, taichiquan, xin yi. All of them are internal, they dumb down the forms to integrate that to different levels of training and to introduce the correct mechanics.

    Thank you for sharing Gareth that is almost exactly like the triangle pattern i learned except the beginning step was added later. it begins on the triangle and mostly stays on the triangle. The pattern takes you around in all three points but deals with each point with multiple shifts and target distances. It sort of takes you around in a circle while staying on the triangle. I think you might know what I'm referring to

      Hi Mario. Thanks for that information. I briefly show the footwork without fists in the beginning of the 'flying gorilla' video. I call it 'three star, six directions'. Any of the fists can be used with any of the footwork. The only difference in the sup ji pattern I demonstrated is that pek choi is the linking move. Otherwise the same.
