  • Hi, Keith, do you happen to know the name of the movement at 0:46 after the thrust, where you spin the jian into a cut?

  • Nice long xing!

  • @WahrerDrache I don't know. Where are you right now? Have you checked the yellow pages?

  • @keithmc1975

    Thats an long answer :-) Where can I learn this style ?Thanks

  • @WahrerDrache Nei Jing or internal martial arts like Tai Chi and some may say Akido derive their power from internal sources (ie. Chi) In shaolin your start with Chang Quan and you slowly move into Nei Jing. And as far as your San Cai Jian; as far as I can tell that is the name of a sword form. Jian I know is chinese name for the straight sword. That's about all I can say about the subject. And by no means is to be considered fact.

  • @WahrerDrache I can not therefore say whether it is a crane style or dragon because the sword forms we do has techniques from both styles in it. If you're holding a gun to my head I would say Dragon Style primarily because the bulk of the techniques are dragon style. Now as for the Northern Chang Quan...Chang Quan or longfist is simply how the moves are done. Chang Quan means external, meaning the power from the movement is derived from an external source (ie, muscles, stances, etc)

  • @WahrerDrache Sorry I wasn't trying to be a smartass or anything. That was the short answer. I will try to answer your question the best of my ability...As I am sure you know Shaolin in many styles rolled up into one; Northern Shaolin has many examples of what some would recognize as Crane, Dragon, Monkey etc. But we do not (at least at my school) specialize in any one style. The forms we do are traditional forms (1000+ years old) and encompass many different techniques.

  • @keithmc1975

    Yeah Ive read it. But Northern Shaolin is a very wide field. Northern Chang Quan or what style in general ? For example from what mostly is called Northern Shaolin I only know San Cai Jian.

  • @WahrerDrache Northern Shaolin

  • Interesting form. Can you tell me which style is it ?
