Lost Track

Here is a series of books on LOST TRACK Kung Fu also variously known as Mi Zong and Yan Qing. Mi Zong was developed in Cang County, the birthplace of such great arts as BaJi. It should be honored and known as much as the Shaolin Temple for its contributions to the world of martial arts. Suffice to say YanQing is a huge system (over 100 sets) with much information in it. It has "married" into many other clans and stills commands respect in the martial world after centuries of existence. See our INFO BOX.

Each book begins with a one-paragraph introduction to the form. Each neat little book is EN FACE, that is, both Chinese and English versions are represented.

For this title: Mi Zong Luo Han is the source of this form. Mai Fu means Ambush and the idea of confusing the enemy is emphasized in the technique. It’s a relatively short form with a lot of techniques stuffed into its four roads. There is a strong emphasis on twisting body movement and, characteristically, numerous postures where one hand is hidden while the other is in plain sight.

KCS006 Praying Mantis Saber Arts
by Wong Han Fun (Huang Han Xun trans. Joseph Crandall)

Wong was known as the "Mantis King." This is a Northern branch Praying Mantis version of two bladed weapons, the Yan Qing Saber (Lost Track Saber) and the Jun Da Dao (Military Big Saber). The first is composed of 55 movements and is relatively simple and straight forward with some elegant stances and combinations.
Important: This book incorporates and duplicates the text from KCS003.

KCS005 Xie Zhen Mizong Quan
by Jiang Rong Jiao( trans. Joseph Crandall)

This book speaks about the real Lost Track (aka. Yan Qing or Mizong Yi) style of Kung Fu. The Mizong is a big style with over a hundred forms, famous throughout Northern China. It is based on Shaolin but has unique features such as indeterminacy, softness, misdirection and other worthwhile arts. Jiang is famous for trying to re-enliven Chinese Martial Arts. His books are considered the beginning of "modern" martial writing in the field. This text addresses the background and theory of a favorite style of his, Mizong. Originating in Cang Zhou which is the birthplace of the best Mizong, Jiang was trying to preserve what he considered the true core of the system. He discusses the theory , gives some really interesting analogies, and critques—somewhat—the Huo Yun Jia branch of the family. He also demonstrates (not with the best photos ever) a key Mizong form. As a sometime practitioner of this art, we recommend it for the person not familiar with this important branch of Northern Kung Fu. No longer an easy book to get even in Chinese.
