One Power, Three PowerOne power (waist chambered) kungfu is like a single action rifle (once fired it must be cocked again). Three power (continuous strike without recoil) is like a rapid fire machine gun. Rooted spring power is a like a canon that adds explosive force to both. With age a one power one shot rifle will jam; three power rapid fire will slow down; but rooted spring power will reach further with accuracy and continue to develop. |
Body WeaponsWhen issuing three power rooted spring force, one may employ various bodily weapons in striking; head, shoulders, elbows, forearms, wrists, fists (back fist, panther, ginger fist, phoenix, dragon, snake, thumb strikes, hammer fist), fingers, palms, hips, knees, shins, ankles, feet, and toes. |
Hakka Old Style TechniqueThe older the less techniques. Two of the oldest taught stepping and hand action. 1) Kick oneself in the butt - a chop step but when the knee comes up one kicks oneself in the butt with the heel. 2) Breaking stone - a table is placed at least waist high. A heavy stone is placed left to right on the table in a mor-grinding hand. Gow Choy Hammer fist breaks the stone. Gwak sweeping hand cleans the table in opposite direction. Three hands are continuous. Kick the butt - mor, gow, gwak - break a stone on the table. Repeat as desired. |
