43 Techniques Large Frame Solo Form (Large Circle Solo Form) with Vincent Chu

In these classes, an abbreviated form of 43 techniques is offering. The large frame solo form is based on Yang Cheng Fu's teaching. Yang Cheng Fu created this form based on his father's, Yang Chien Hou's, middle-frame or transitional-frame solo form. Yang Chien Hou realized that it was very difficult for a student to develop martial-arts skill from the small-frame solo form, so he modified the small-frame solo form by enlarging the range of the small-frame solo form's movements, made the stance lower and included other martial- fundamentals-training objectives.
.
The major characteristic of the large-frame solo form is its large circular motion. Its function is to open all the body joints by stretching the ligaments and tendons, a common objective for all Chinese martial arts, so that a practitioner is able to execute the strike quickly and powerfully in combat.

Practicing the large-frame solo form serves two functions. It opens the joints by stretching the ligaments and tendons, thus improving practitioner's martial fundamentals and power. The large motions also improve blood circulation, thereby bettering one's health. It is a perfect solo form for improving the condition of one's body. Therefore, the large-frame solo form is also known as the beginner's form.
