My daughters focus during our Father/Daughter training evolution today. She is learning one of my favorite Kung Fu forms with patience and the grace of a 10 yr old.
dean, which one is that?
I always wanted to learn the "8 hands of Lohan" as performed by Prof. Pearce. I know that's a generic title, but his rendition at the 2000 Gathering of the Eagles Kenpo conference made a lasting impression.
Hung Family Five Animal - Five Elelment The version I have is relatively short compared to the individual forms of each animal/element.
The version I have has fives moves for each seperate animal, so it is easy to teach but challenging enough to work on forever. I personally like the transitions; (ie. from Tiger/Fire to Snake/Earth to Crane/Air to Dragon/Water to Leopard/Wood) It is a simple form, but has much depth and hidden potential when performed against a partner in an aggressive fashion vs the form flow itself for moving meditation/health.
I would love to share it with you some time.
My Daughter has borrowed the Tiger portion from me so far and is progressing to ownership of that piece before advancing to the next animal.
Hope this makes sense. I get a little Zen like when it comes to my Kung Fuey side. LOL
Im glad to see we share some similar interests and look forward to soon meeting you Brother.
Dean
