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? Wow!

HUA Boxing (Glorious or China Boxing)

Hua Boxing is associated with Hua Shan a mountain in Shaan Xi province. Hua Shan is one of the four major martial arts mountains in Chinese history: Song Shan (Shaolin), Er Mei, Wu Tang and Hua Shan. Like the other "mountain" styles Hua has had many influences and is more obviously an amalgamation of many fists, rather than one. A highly sophisticated style with many, many sets the old saying went that if you knew "the Hua 48 sets, you could go anywhere under Heaven."

Demonstrator: He Jun Lan.

VCD#1038 Hua Fist First Road Hua Quan
Three VCDs , See Main VCD page for prices, CHINESE ONLY

Number One Road of the Hua style, like the Northern Shaolin, is considered an advanced, not a basic set. This is one of the fuller Long Fist forms you will see. True, the arms are hyperextended but this is a traditional Hua form that just shows how exquisite Long Fist is, evern without "modernization." not for those with wobbly knees. Not over challenging physically but long and with a few tornado kicks, sweeps, etc. Three VCDs

VCD#1039 Hua Fist Double Daggers
Double VCDs , See Main VCD page for prices, CHINESE ONLY

Double daggers (Bi Shou) are for the agile and the quick. We like the weapon and this is a good set. Daggers like this were often kept in the boots and drawn out by their rings at the butt end: therefore also known as Ring Daggers. A very nice performance comparable to most of the forms with this set but a little more meat. Double VCDs.

VCD#1040 Hua Fist Hua Sword
Double VCD , See Main VCD page for prices, CHINESE ONLY

The straight sword is wonderfully demonstrative of the characteristics of the Chinese people: agile, subtle, graceful and intelligent. This is a nice set with a lot of single leg standing in many variations. But that's also the problem. The same young person who looks great doing, say, the staff is a bit of a wash out with the sword only because it takes so much time to master. Really though, a very pleasant and attractive form that almost crosses the line to performance but does retain its content. This is a double VCD

VCD#1041 Hua Fist 8 Step Linked Fist
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, CHINESE ONLY

Compared to road #1 this is a very basic but still flavorful fist. The general execution bares the relationship to the other forms as Luo Han forms do to Shaolin: rougher and more direct. Comparable to Lien Bu or Gung Li Chuan. Very nice, perfect for young people. Solid and basic but with a few flashy Hus moves. Easily learnable.

VCD#1042 Hua Fist 8 Step Linked Duet
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, CHINESE ONLY

The previous single person set is here shown as a duet. Representative Long Arm partner play combining long strikes, kicks and some Chin Nah. Fun and relatively simple. About intermediate level.

VCD#1043 Hua Fist Luo Han 18 Hands
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, CHINESE ONLY

Hua seems to like single/duet sets just as is popular in, for example, Heaven Mountain Style. This is a realitvely short, single person version that looks like a two person set performed alone. Easy to learn, clear and definitely Long Fist.

VCD#1044 Hua Fist 18 Hands Duet
About 1 Hour, See Main VCD page for prices, CHINESE ONLY

The two person version of the above 18 Luo Han Hands. The movements are straight forward with a few basic Chin Nah, some Long Fist strikes, a sweep and even some off-angle work. Basic but not theatrical. Excellent set for young people and for beginning to intermediate level work. A mixture of reasonable tactics and some just for show. Good solid intruction and performances, though.
