Now an old man, he nonetheless demonstrates his life’s inheritance from teachers Huang Ying (Shaolin), Xia Jun Hui (Damo Shaolin) and Li En Gui (Tai Zu and Duck Boxing). His movements are classical and simple and, through his entire series, he shows the complete gift of his teachers including Tai Zu style and other influences. Firmly rooted in Shaolin it combines this with traces of Tai Tzu (also affiliated with Shaolin), Duck Style Boxing and Sun Bin the style associated with the famous Sun Tzu’s brilliant grandson.

#21041 Shaolin DaMo 24 Techniques #1
Demonstrator: Yan Zhen Fa This is the fundamental routine for Yan Zhen Fa’s description of the DaMo branch of Shaolin. The “24 Techniques” is actually a little misleading. What you have here is a linear form such as Tan Tui. Shaolin has a number of these such as the LuoHan Fists and the Punching Form. This series of three DVDs actually covers what is essentially a 12 Road Tan Tui. What’s unsual here is that each pair of roads is the obvious counter to the previous pair so, by the time you’ve learned the 24 roads you’ve learned a single person set AND a two person set. This is not the same as a typical two-person set because each road sticks to one series of actions and one theme. It take all three DVDs, each about an hour for all the details, and there is no demonstration of the partner version of the form: just the individual practice.

#21044 Shaolin DaMo Duck-Shaped Fist
Demonstrator: Yan Zhen Fa This form of boxing imitates the movements of the duck flying, in the water and on the ground. Yan Sifu says this is quite rare and he would feel guilty if he didn’t pass it on. Duck boxing typically and in this case has some unique facets. The first is an expanded chest. This is accompanied by an arched back, both quite unusual in Chinese martial arts. His demonstration of it also includes the distinctive duck walking and crossing foot steps. There are many double armed actions such as windmill blocking and wing flapping. Stances are short and often accompanied by head bobbing distinctive to the style. Some circling movements resemble Bagua and, in that vein, there are no fist actions but many palms strikes. Yan, though an old man, had a light and lively spirit during the demonstration. This is a traditional set with no attempt to make it pretty or fancy.
