THE NECESSITY OF APPROPRIATE STANCES

Intensive Shaolin Kungfu Course

The Necessity of Appropriate Stances

This is Sequence 8, “Horizontally Sweep a Thousand Armies”. While the patterns from Sequences 1-4 are simple as the main aim is to develop skills, the patterns from Sequence 5-8 show progressive sophistication as the main aim is to expand techniques.

For example, the response against the opponent's first counter in Sequence 5 employs the tactic of “first defence then counter”, in Sequences 6 and 7 the responses graduate from “first defence then counter” to “defence cum counter”, and in Sequence 8 the response employs the tactic of “no defence direct counter”. Notice that in this “no defence direct counter” appropriate stances are necessary.
