Shaolin Kung Fu Combat Styles: 16. big Buddha form (大罗汉拳: da luohan quan)

instructor: monk De Jun
__________________
- combat strategy:
the Buddha style, with a pair of small and big forms, imitates the 'luohan' ('Arhat' in Sanskrit), the ones who have reached enlightenment. this precious style teaches "camouflage". its main tactics are:
tactic 25 - "beauty tactic (美人计)": mask your moves with inoffensive postures like walking, turning, sitting, etc.
tactic 26 - "borrow the knife to kill (借刀杀人)": use elements of the environment as weapon. a handful of soil can blind the opponent, a stone, a key, anything that can harm.
tactic 27 - "hide the knife behind a smile (笑里藏刀)": mask your attacking limb with another limb. the opponent cannot recognize and react properly to a masked attack.
tactic 28 - "golden cicada molts shell (金蝉脱壳)": when the opponent stops a masked attack, he just stops the covering limb, which parries his block for the main attacking limb to continue.
these involve low stances, turns, twists, and cover-ups that hide the main moves to the last moment.
__________________
- history:
'luohan quan' is the purest and most representative style of Shaolin kung fu. it was developed by Shaolin monks as the earliest style based on the luohan 18 hands in the earlier eras of Shaolin temple.
early Song dynasty (960s AD):
at the beginning of the Song dynasty this style was first officially sorted out and recorded into the 'Shaolin Kung Fu Manual' under the supervision of chief monk Fu Ju (福居).

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

Thanks Bro Uploads happening too often nowadays, I'm happy

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

weekly new uploads might continue for a year or so.
i'm investing on a number of shorter, more exciting combat-oriented videos as the next project. _/\_

[@shaolincheck347]

@@ShaolinKungFuInstructional I have noticed an ending move in these forms has been edited out. Do you know why this is? Thank you.

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

this form, as you see it now, is the original form. in these videos they did a part that has been added to it in recent decades, i removed that irrelevant part.

[@shaolincheck347]

@@ShaolinKungFuInstructional Thanks, do you know how you get from right jumping snap kick to horse stance with right fist of the head? It seems like this would result in a left fist of the head like at the end of Big Flood style?

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

@@shaolincheck347 in da hong quan, only Shi De Yang does it with the left fist above, all others do it normally with the right fist covering the head.

[@elonmusk6031]

Please teach it from basic like Day 1,Day 2

[@grenetghost]

Is it a re-upload? I'm pretty sure I've already seen Shi De Jun's Da Luohan Quan before...

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

the last 3rd of De Jun's form is a modern addition and is not part of the original form, i removed that part of the form from the video.
i'll do the same with De Ci's video and reupload it the next.

[@grenetghost]

@@ShaolinKungFuInstructional Correct. Indeed the new video seemed shorter (and actually is). And you already said a while ago that the last part of the form was not part of the original. Looking back, the "short" form is quite "satisfactory" as a whole. Thanks for the clarification!

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

@@grenetghost indeed. if you see that last section in De Ci's video, it's of a different mood, no luohan posture, it looks like Pao quan and Fanzi quan. they've added it to increase the form length to fit the time requirement of Wushu competitions.
they've added such 3rd sections to big Pao quan and Tong Bi quan forms as well. but in this channel i try to present the original material only far as possible, and remove such things.

[@janbauknecht1338]

i was woundering about da lu 1 and da lu 2. Can you say something about that? this is 2? when it was made?

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

da luohan is originally just one form, it is this form.
the 3-section da luohan, with da luohan 1, 2, and 3 has been made up later as a simpler version of this original da luohan. original luohan was created before the Song dynasty, more than thousand years ago. but these newer variants and changes began in the Yuan and Ming dynasty about 600-300 years ago, but they were modified by DengFeng people until quite recently. we don't consider them original forms, they're just copycats of the original xiao and da luohan.

[@janbauknecht1338]

@@ShaolinKungFuInstructional so if im interesseted in the most tradional one the one monks did after meditation and added for deffeding against animals what should i start learning? how should i understand one form? you do da luohan 1 then you do 2 like in the video?

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

@@janbauknecht1338 as i said, da luohan just has 1 form.
people have split da luohan into 2 sections and modified it and call it da luohan 1 and 2. and they've added a part to the end and call it da luohan 3. this 3-section da luohan is fake, original da luohan is 1 form.

Why have you cut technique? When you show something show it as it is

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

the moves I cut were not part of the original form. they have added those moves from Pao Quan and Fanzi Quan, and are not related to Luohan Quan. what you see now is the original da luohan quan form.

[@nikolassan6408]

@@ShaolinKungFuInstructional Ah ok this I didn't know she has techniques from these systems, and I think she has technique from da Hong, thanks I had forgotten this form and was trying to remember the techniques, even though I practiced it for years I forgot her techniques thanks.
