Shaolin Kung Fu: small Tong Bi Quan combat applications

Shaolin Kung Fu penetrating-arms style (通臂拳: tong bi quan)
by monk De Yang
__________________
- combat strategy:
this style teaches penetrating opponent's guard. its main tactics are:
tactic 13 - "to catch thieves, catch their chief (擒贼擒王)": to be effective, target the most sensitive points. (7 most common sensitive points to hit in opponent's body are, from top to down: the eyes, nose, throat, diaphragm, testicles, fingers, shins.)
tactic 14 - "borrow a way to attack the city (假道伐虢)": open a way in opponent's guard to attack his sensitive points. 'hands open doors for the legs.' hands are faster and more accurate, but legs have more power and range and are also armored with the shoes. hands open opponent's guard, legs break him.
tactic 15 - "besiege enemy capital to relieve the city (围魏救赵)": another way to open opponent's guard is to overtly attack a sensitive point to force him shift his guard there and leave other positions open.
tactic 16 - "shut the door to catch the thief (关门捉贼)": catch the opponent and drag him towards your attack, to block his escape and to increase the impact power.
these involve opening, closing, and accurate penetrating moves of the arms and even the legs.

- 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 Fuju (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.

🙏 thank you for sharing this. Amazing

[@nitinbaghel2062]

Please use subtitles so we can understand more

[@kali_combat-calisthenics]

Pls upload the applications of pao quan with subtitles 🙏🏻😊

[@gaysasuke5618]

I don't understand any of this, but it's very therapeutic.

[@catfood_03_4stray]

I adore the form but the application isn't correct. I believe that the correct application is reserved for the initiated monks and we only see "rubbish". One should use his fantasy to approach the real thing.

[@knpe]

lol the choreography. either way, some great mechanics.

[@shaolinzenwuyi]

This is da tong bi quan (big penetrating arm boxing) , I see in a lot of the tong bei quan videos, even years back, in your archives, the big and smalll is mixed up, just pointing it out, hope you see this and fix it, because that can confuse a lot. Thanks for the great videos!! Amituofo!!

[@ShaolinKungFuInstructional]

we already know that, and the reason for this naming is well-explained in the styles playlist, if you read it. to put it short, the small&big naming in Shaolin doesn't have a standard among different lineages. some call this big some call it small. big, because this is historically older than the other tong bi form, small, because this is smaller than the other tong bi form. this is already confusing. in this channel, we took a clear standardization and only consider size. so as, all smaller forms are called 'small' and the bigger ones are called 'big'. this is clear and understandable. for more detail, visit the styles playlist and read the description. 🙏🏻

Can you post an animal tutorial pls

[@ojasrawat.]

[@HAQKIBAAT.313]

I want to learn but its not possible at phone... ❤️

[@realhomosapien]

Simply start with a Horse Stance a lone and improve it, most Kungfu starts with Horse stance unless you refers to the very square stance like White Crane, Wing Chun, and Southern Mantist fist If you can do Horse stance, the rest would be easier (but not easy ofc, still hard but you could handle it easier)

[@ShaolinTrainingShifu]

moving from horse stance to bow stance, empty stance, crouch stance, resting stance all help too

[@angel007_gr4]

its never going to work like that

[@ShaolinTrainingShifu]

it works. Learn Sanda then use the discrete moves in sparring. The kick catch is amazing. Actually, on second thought, don't use the groin attacks in sparring or soon you won't have anyone who wants to spar with you!

[@angel007_gr4]

@@ShaolinTrainingShifu i think its meaningless to come in the position to grab hid leg like that and then to push it on the ground instead of lifting it up putting your whole body strength in it

[@ShaolinTrainingShifu]

@@angel007_gr4 the way I was taught the application of this kick catch at Shaolin was Sanda style. When he throws a round kick, step in sideways, left palm comes down and right palm comes up, grab leg tightly, spin right leg into his leg while leg dragging him to the mat
