Shaolin Kung Fu Combat Styles: 10. big penetrating-arms form (通臂拳: tong bi quan) 1/2

instructor: monk De Yang
__________________
combat strategy:
the penetrating style, with a small & big pair of forms, teaches "attack" tactics:
tactic 13 - "befriend the far, attack the neighbor (远交近攻)": if the opponent puts part of his body openly close to you, it is an easy target, attack it as heavily as possible.
tactic 14 - "borrow a way to attack the city (假道伐虢)": to attack, seek an openness to bypass or open a way to penetrate opponent's guard. as the saying goes, 'hands open doors for the legs.' hands are faster and more accurate, while legs have more power and range and are usually armored with the shoes, which gives them more destructive power. hands open opponent's guard, legs break him.
tactic 15 - "prepare the way in the light, cross the city in the dark (明修栈道, 暗渡陈仓)": when you try to open opponent's guard, he opposes by shifting guard and so leaves other areas open. attack those opened areas.
tactic 16 - "besiege enemy capital to relieve your city (围魏救赵)": when the opponent's guard is engaged, for example, when he wrestles or catches you, the most vulnerable parts of his body (the groins, eyes, fingers, shins, etc.) are left open. instead of opposing his arms-which requires much force and has a low chance of success-attack these sensitive open parts.
these involve bypassing, opening and penetrating moves of the limbs. in this style, every move is an attack which either bypasses opponent's guard or is preceded by an opening move, teaching you to find or make an openness in opponent's guard for attack instead of pointlessly attacking his closed guard.

history:
Tang dynasty (618-907):
in the late periods of the dynasty, the tong bi style was formed.
Five dynasties period (907-960):
Han Tong (韩通), a high-rank army general, mastered the tong bi style.
Later Zhou dynasty (951-960):
the last inheritor of the dynasty was a child, and Zhao Kuangyin (赵匡胤), commander of the palace guard, took the throne, and Han Tong was killed by Zhao Kuangyin's army. he was a great martial arts master and Zhao Kuangyin ordered a grand funeral ceremony for him.
Song dynasty (960-1279):
after 961 AD, Zhao Kuangyin, as the first emperor of the new dynasty, commissioned chief monk Fu Ju (福居) to improve and standardize Shaolin kung fu styles. the army generals, along with Zhao Kuangyin's long style (taizu chang quan), introduced Han Tong's penetrating-arm style (tong bi quan) to the temple. this is the 'small tong bi quan'.
Yuan dynasty (1279-1368):
in the late years of the dynasty, monk Jinnaluo (紧那罗) and others combined the small tong bi quan techniques into the base of small and big hong quans and a monkey style and created Shaolin 'big tong bi quan'.
Qing dynasty (1644-1912):
tong bi quan took its final shape during this dynasty.

note: there are various other forms and styles named 'tong bi' or 'tong bei quan' in Chinese kung fu, and they are historically and technically different from Shaolin tong bi quan. these are just different styles with similar names.

This is the SMALL Through-the-Arms Boxing (xiao tong bi quan), man!

[@shaolinshadowsoldier]

Yes, but... It's silly to have the short version called "big" and the long version called "small". I welcome the correction.

[@VanishingNomad]

@@shaolinshadowsoldier , Its very confusing to be using the wrong names.

[@shaolinshadowsoldier]

@@VanishingNomad "Wrong" is so hard to qualify. Many would say that whatever most people call something, is the correct name. In this case I disagree. Inaccuracies and inconsistencies have crept in over time and I welcome this standardisation of naming. It helps the spread and the evolution, and to me that's the most important thing.

[@ooiweikheng9938]

@@shaolinshadowsoldier Hahaha....the "Big(Da)" and "Small(Xiao)" are not referring to the short or long version, don't try to be smart

[@shaolinshadowsoldier]

@@ooiweikheng9938 The point is that as there is no standardisation, that it might be sensible, moving forwards, to just pick the most logical naming formula i.e. the short is small and the long is big.
