White Crane Short Staff - 白鹤短棍

[@zhongxin1967]

This style of White Crane is popular in Guangxi province. I lernt it from my sifu, Lau Yongdong. I'm the only non-Chinese to ever be taken as a student of sifu Lau. The sets only face forward. They begin and end in the same place. Because of this, the student practices attacking while stepping forward and while retreating. The techniques are evasive while attacking. Lots of side-stepping. It's also known for it's stick fighting. So far, I'm the only one teaching this style outside of China.
