Most commonly known as Tun Da (The Short Strike): Shaolin #6. This is the first set of the �Ten hand sets of Shaolin�. These ten sets are practiced in ascending order, 1 through 10; however, you learn them in a different order from simplest to most complex. The central five sets (Shaolin #4 through #8) are shorter, with more explosive combinations. The last two sets are the most sophisticated and challenging. Tun Da introduces you to two standard northern leg techniques: the tornado kick and the broom sweep

The 10 rows are usually taught before these other forms. Those with appropriately mixed martial backgrounds, sometimes go directly to the NSL 10 forms without the 10 rows of the Tan T'ui forms.
