11 Movements per side

The forms fit together to explain practical use of a cane or short stick as a weapon.  Develops coordination, timing, sense of space, concentration, and an understanding of how to move energy out into an external object.  Can be practiced as a solo form.

The cane or short stick was a popular weapon in China because anyone could carry a cane without drawing attention to him. It is said, “Watch out for an old man with a stick”.

This form teaches the three basic levels of attack and defense – high, medium, and low. The Three Powers refers to heaven, earth and man. It can also refer to the triangle, circle, and square, signifying Basic, Fluid, and Integration.

This is a very useful and fun form to learn and practice. There is a transition at the end of each side so this form can be practiced as a round solo or with a partner.

This form can be learned in a short workshop format. I offer it free online and there is also a reference video tape available at the online store.
