First,
be advised that all of these VCD's are IN
CHINESE ONLY. In our opinion that doesn't matter much
because the instruction is clear and the quality of photography
very good. But we will not accept returns just because people didn't
read... IN
CHINESE ONLY. Given that, these are really tremendous
deals for the money. Each of these special VCD's can be played on
a computer for full enjoyment. Made for PC's they are also Mac compatible
by downloading Quicktime (for free) and any similar VCD player
program.Also playable on most DVD players. For less than $10.00?

LIANG
YI Boxing
Demonstrator/Teacher:
Duan Bao Hua, inheritor of the Liang Yi style which has been transmitted
through the Duan family.
This art,
based on the theory of Yin and Yang or the Liang Yi (Twin Poles),
is somewhat like Tai Chi, somewhat like Xing Yi and somewhat like
Tzu Ran Men. It performs movements in a slow relaxed manner with
explosions of force that are almost Praying Mantis-like in their
rapidity. This particular series of VCDs shows many exercises for
fighting, sometimes in a highly stylized manner, with special emphasis
on point striking and lightning quick attacks. In this case the
system is a series of "seed" moves which can be recombined
in a very loose, powerful method that emphasizes point striking
and even recovery moves.

VC, VCD pricing,

relaxed Northern Fist set with much snapping power and a wide range
of powerful loose movements. Demonstrated, broken down and performed
by single and partnered practitioners. This
is a Triple VCD |
