12 Set Tan Tui 1-6 十二路弹腿

[mytigerluck]

My Sifu calls it "road" and most others I know do as well. I don't know that it really matters one way or the other, though.

disciple784, is this you in the videos? Your form and flow are superb! :)

actually its most commonly known as 12 "Roads". But yes I agree it should be called "set" lol. BTW, I also practice this at our school but I don't know the names of each move. Would you know the names of each movement? thanks in advance

why call it "12 roads"? Shouldn't it be 12 sets (road=set in chinese)?

[disciple784]

@yottky Yes Thank you, its changed!

@yottky No. It SHOULD BE '12 Roads'. It is one 'set' of 12 techniques. If you call it '12 sets', then you are missing a major philosophical lesson. Tan Tui Shi Er Lu (translated: spring leg twelve roads). Same thing with calling Ma Bu a 'horse stance'. This too is incorrect and loses a lesson with improper translation. Ma Bu should be translated: Horse STEP. Not 'stance'. In Chinese philosophy (see five elements) there is no stagnation - everything is in motion and transition.
