Baat Sik

This is one of the versions of the hard chi gung set used for the commencement of Chow Gar Tong Long forms.

It is a chi kung (hay gung) set and therfore not for fighting. It works on the breath, the muscle, the ribs, the spine and "shock power."

Brava, Nicely done sir. While we are of different schools of SPM, That was well done and impresive. You have a gift.

@Searchinghands I ran into the tremor (Sai Dong Ging) power practicing, this Chi Kung form, but I also practice Pak Mei, Lung Ying, Jook Lum, and Chow Gar, so is this a form that can develop the power of tremor, or shake power? Have you experienced this yourself practicing this form? Have you developed your shock power yet, like I have? Don't initiate your movement, rather just let it happen, and become one with the form, and the universe...peace

@TingSingChiKung The method I was taught was actually to make the movements (mostly dynamic tension) smooth and without trembling. The idea is to use as much force as possible but to stop at the point that the arms/hands begin to tremble. This point will increase as you progress. There is a "jerking" energy at the end of some movements - we call this "ging tan ging".

That was very nice. Thank you for sharing that with us. :-)

No worries.

Don't be too hard on yourself! Former students come back to train all the time. Yeah it's a little bit painful at first but never like the first time - your body seems to retain a memory of what it was capable of. Anyway, the invitation still stands - you would be welcome to come back.

Would love to! Don't think I'd tough it out for more than a few minutes with you guys though. My brain still knows how to do it but my body dosen't follow instructions like it used to... It all looks easy on video but the real thing is a lot harder. That's why I like your clips - they show some of the tougher stuff. Hope you upload some more.

Nice vid. Can definitely see the Sue-Tin influence in your technique. If you're still in Brisbane and you get some time, you should come and train with us. Cheers.

Check out the Australian School of Kung Fu and Tai Chi. They have a website with contact details and a bunch of clips on youtube.
