Master Liu scolded us for practicing ˇ§stupid martial artˇ¨, which meant
that we could not apply theories into routines, not to mention showing
the essence.
There are too few southern stylists who really learned the essence of
their field. Pak-hok(White Crane), Tai-tzu(Long Fist), and Hu-he Double
Style are all good martial arts. But most southern stylists do not apply
theories and they live like barnstormers, which leads to their little contribution
to our culture.
Ask Master Liu questions you need not be too courteous or shy, otherwise
you donˇ¦t learn things.
The difference between Pa-chi and Tai-chi is the horse-step.
Perform Pao-chuei at high speed.
Chenˇ¦s Tai-chi has a saber routine, namely Peach Blossom Saber.
Rope-whip is called Chang-er Rope (a 12-Chinese-foot rope), with the
head of an Iron Chain in the front, a wooden handle, and a piece of rope
in between. It is used by stuntmen.
Tsi-step: In ancient times they hung money on waists, so they walked
with heavy steps. The toes digging into ground and raising dust are called
ˇ§Tsiˇ¨. The recent name ˇ§shing-stepˇ¨ is wrong.
Arrow-step: It shoots out like an arrow.
Love should be broad, not just for children and families of your own.
