Erle Montaigue – Yang Lu-ch’an’s “Root” Methods Vol. 3

Yang Lu-ch’an created a brief fighting solo form for each of his Old Form’s basic self-defense postures. These are known as “Root” forms. Every position has various fighting applications, thus Lu-ch’an gives us a form to practice in order to take use of the immense fighting and healing advantages of the postures. These forms teach us about fa-jing, dim-mak, and how to internalize the postures so that we may make the most use of our bodies for healing and self-defense.
This third volume progresses from the position “Stork Spreads Wings” to the postures “Brush Knee & Twist Step.” Each shape is named for the main posture from which it evolved.
