New beginnings bloom in spring! I have been constructing a new form to further facilitate the gong fu practice of my students and myself. It is demanding but flowing and harmonious, which helps with managing the demanding bit!
It also moves towards the idea that there were originally a greater quantity of kicks in the main san feng pai gong fu forms than currently practiced today (evident in the original transcripts of the form sequences). Xuan He Quan is comprised of: - my favourite flowing sequences from within xuan zhen quan and xuan gong quan 1/2/3 - kicks from the 36 that are unrepresented in the san feng pai forms - sequences from Laoshan that didn’t get transmitted to Wudang (but evident in those rare YouTube clips that are floating around)
I am now happy with its structure and will spend the summer training it. Hopefully a video of it will be posted Autumn time!
