Shaolin Kung Fu Combat Styles: 4. big flood form (大洪拳: da hong quan)

instructor: monk Yan Lu
__________________
- combat strategy:
the flood style, with a pair of small and big forms, teaches to "cover". its main tactics are:
tactic 2 - "cover up from the sky to cross the sea (瞒天过海)": cover your body against the opponent while attacking and defending, advancing and retreating.
tactic 3 - "mud water to catch fish (混水摸鱼)": overwhelm the opponent with covering moves to lower his chance against your attacks and defenses.
tactic 4 - "pilfer a goat on the way (顺手牵羊)": seize opportunities to use covering moves as attacks.
these involve a continuous flood of covering moves of the arms and even the legs around your body.

- history:
Song dynasty (960-1279):
Zhao Kuangyin (赵匡胤), the first emperor of the Song dynasty, had given Shaolin temple a series of notes on the combat styles that he practiced. Shaolin monks developed the 'big hong quan' based on one of his styles.
Jin dynasty (1115-1234):
in the last few years of the Jin dynasty, monk Jue Yuan (觉远) took permission of chief monk Hong Wen (洪温) to travel across the country and collect new information. he invited master Li Sou (李叟) and his son from Lanzhou, the capital city of Gansu province, and master Bai Yufeng (白玉峰) from Luoyang city to Shaolin temple. Li Sou and his son were masters of a local hong quan style. they had a long hong quan form, which is still practiced at some areas around Shaolin under its original name big hong quan or as old-frame hong quan. during their stay at Shaolin, they made a smaller version of this form by combining their style with internal and external styles of Shaolin temple, and this form was called the 'small hong quan'.

- note: there are various other forms and styles named small or big 'hong quan' in Chinese kung fu, and they are historically and technically different from Shaolin hong quan. these are just different styles with similar names.

Shaolin Kung Fu has no dragon or animal style. those animal styles they show in demonstrations are fake forms.

@@ShaolinKungFuInstructional there is no way this must be a fan shaolin channel there is animal style on Kung fu

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

@@SCL_Zxno Kung Fu has, but not Shaolin. animal imitation in kung fu has a long history. but most the animal styles you see are from the 17th century onwards. Shaolin monks also made some, but none was admired by the monks and they were lost to history.
the animal styles you see in Shaolin temple are not Shaolin kung fu really. each form is taken from an irrelevant source.
- the 5-animal style is from southern China, not Shaolin, those 5-animla forms they perform in Shaolin are not even southern, they're fake forms made by Henan people.
- the monkey form is from Emei,
- the 2 eagle forms one is from the Ying Zhao and the one that has more running is from Ying Zhao Fanzi quan,
- the mantis forms were brought to the temple from other provinces in the last century, the famous one was brought to the temple in the 80s.
- many other forms are just fake and made up by clueless people from Northern China.
- and so on ...
