Yang Lu-ch'an's Root Methods Volume 3

http://www.taijiworld.com Yang Lu-ch'an invented a brief fighting solo form for each of the main self defence postures in his Old Form. These are called "Root" forms. Every posture has many fighting applications so to make it easier to take the great fighting and healing benefits from the postures, Lu-ch'an gives us a form to practice. These forms teach us about fa-jing, dim-mak and how internalize the postures thus making the maximum use of one's body for healing and self defence. This first volume takes you from the beginning of the form up to and including "Single Whip". Each form takes its name from the main posture from which is comes. This will also be available full on I-Tunes for the I-Pod soon.

Does the grunting make the kick more effective..

Oh yes, the whole thing was invented when Whoo FLung Dhung saw a pig and a Chinese trotting pigeon fighting one morning, so he developed these forms a bit too literally.

Thank you. Appreciate your input.

it is called kiai if you mean the way he sounds when kicking... Practically it is meant to have timing thus producing power and speed. But it is also said that you can also channel ki or chi with that "sound".

Erle, I have a question I've really wanted to ask you - Is Chen style Taiji for combat as well?
