CHANG CHUAN (Long Fist) BOXING page One

VCD#739 LongFist style Basic Training
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

With Wang DeMing.
We are talking about limber here. The Long Fist as a performance art with much training emphasizing tremendous flexibility, high kicks and low exaggerated stances. But teacher Wang is not just some light weight performer. Though pretty contemporary this Long Fist training is at least clean and pretty precise. There's no taking away for the athleticism and overall skills developed through hard work.

VCD#498 LongFist style MONKEY FIST
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

By Li YuZhong WuShu champion
One of the most expressive Monkey Fists weÕve seen. A champion performance whether or not you like animal styles. An acrobatic performance with everything from back flips and ground rolls to legs flower on the ground. From the performance standpoint the demonstrator is quite good with expressive, very fast motions in very simian actions right down to the eating of the fleas. A fast fist to say the least. Not only a demonstration and breakdown but basics of the peculiar monkey fist such as fist and leg actions shown separately.

VCD#499 LongFist style MONKEY STAFF
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

By Li YuZhong WuShu champion
Here is Monkey Fist is its glory with teacher Li YuZhong showing championship skill with the monkey's favorite weapon - the staff. What can we say. There is a tradition of "imitative" styles in martial arts which has become progressively more entertainment and theatrically oriented as time goes by. On the other hand you would need a heart of steel to not be charmed and entertained by this lively and beautifully performed set. If you like the agility, mischievousness and humor of the Monkey Fist this is one of the better representatives of the style and the possibilities of the art. Tumbling, rolling, balancing, falling, bumping along the ground. Agility required.

VCD#484 BaGua style LINKING PALMS
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

By Jiang LuDi national champion Lecturer Nie JiangGuo coach of Henan Wushu Team. A contemporary WuShu version of BaGua by a champion player who has two of the longest arms in proportion to her body that weÕve seen for a long time. Some nice actions with whirling arms. This set is demonstrated with much twisting and very agile footsteps. Generally good movement though, from our standpoint, not very solid grounding. Nonetheless a skillful and attractive performance.

VCD#494 LongFist style SABERS VS. SPEARS
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

By Wang ShaoXuan, Yang ShenGong & Wang YongSheng
Any three person set is frenetic in the extreme. This one's no exception. A single player with double sabers defends himself against two opponents each armed with a spear. Breakdowns are given, thankfully. Much jumping, ducking and changing lanes. In sets like this you look for what is known in WuShu circles as "jiao" or ingenuity. The are some moments in this set where strategy is demonstrated. As the box says: "A classic form. Primitive paired practice. A WuShu fossil."

VCD#493 LongFist style SABER AGAINST SABER
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

Broadsword vs. broadsword is one of the rarer combinations. There are a number of weapons that are not generally matched against themselves. This saber fight is short but furious. The actions include wide slashing and tight grappling using the sabers with close cuts to one another and actual tie ups were the sabers are locked together. Learnable and a great crowd pleaser. Sharp sabers not recommneded at first.

VCD#480 LongFist style LONG FIST LEVEL 1 & 2
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

By Li Hui & Li Hui
This is a basic series demonstrated by competent female instructors in front of a group of children. Simple, logical but with enough variance to deliver interest. The sets are progressively difficult but well structured. This is not sophisticated martial arts but straight forward and clearly defined movements from the general Shaolin style.

VCD#481 LongFist style LONG FIST LEVEL 3
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

By Li Hui
The next level of basics. Demonstrated by a good instructor for a group of children this is definitely a little more advanced set which covers basic and universal movements such as punching, kicking, arm swings, cross stances, cat positions etc. .

VCD#497 LongFist style TWO HANDED SWORD
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

The Two Handed Straight sword is a rare tool. All sets with it are active and advacned with fast footwork and a lot of body turning and torquing. The practitioner has to be good with a straight sword and then compensate for the extra length. There are distinctive moves shared by all similar sets such as holding the sword straight up in the air above the head. Some nice moves, especially the tight hand flowers almost against the practitioner's body and the heel-up stance reminiscent of Monkey style. A good performance.

VCD#485 LongFist style FAN ZI FIST
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

By Mao JingGuang, professional coach and judge
FANZI or Tumbling Boxing is famous throughout China as a major example of the Northern Long Fist school. It is straight forward yet subtle. The movements are beautiful to watch but pretty close to Northern fighting theory. Legs are powerful and there are some unusual turnings of the body and the hands. Overall a well balanced style with a true Northern flavor. Fanzi, as they say, "Is like a string of firecrackers." This performance is challenging yet learnable. The strength of the performer is evident.

VCD#489 LongFist style 3 DAN CUDGEL
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, Chinese/English

By Mu Ning
Here we have a simple 17 movement form that is excellent for a beginner to grasp the fundmentals of staff. What they don't tell you is that this is just a shortened version of a famous basic LuoHan staff form quite common and recognized as being a good basics form that isn't at all boring or repetitive. Clear lines and straight forward execution.
