This is first form of Hong Quan Shaolin Boxing. Secon form is Da Hong Quan. Can somebody tell me, what does Hong mean? Is this "Red" boxing (boxing of red family), or this mean "flood" boxing(kung fu)?

[@BZY-bu9wr]

Hi, this is Hong （洪）which means flood.

[@mikewinburn]

What was that little 1/2 kick at the end, shifu? Beautifully performed, despite the long robe interference.

The most difficult part of this form is doing it wearing such an amount of customs.

[@mikehunt9884]

what do you guys think about the influence the chinese national wushu program had on "shaolin" martial arts? Their forms seem to be a lot like the "de-martialized" forms they teach there.. pretty, fancy, fluid but almost no realistic applications.

[@aardvarkhendricks6555]

You've got to be kidding yourself thinking forms should be the basis of self defense. Aside from the more important aspects of self defense such as psychology and situational awareness, the most important tools in self defense would be movement and a limited amount of techniques. Those limited amount of techniques and movement patterns are what should be practiced over and over again. The purpose of forms such as xiao hong chuan and da hong chuan is to build up athletic attributes such as strength, endurance, flexibility, etc. They just so happen to have some techniques that have some application. Case in point would be at the beginning of the form where he does a front stance and push. The front stance is a lunge and the push is a technique. You are never going to be in a situation where you would pull that off such as getting robbed at gunpoint or getting into an altercation at the bar or dealing with an irate family member or friend. In fact there is a process before a punch is thrown as an example. Your speculation about the Chinese government through the national wushu program somehow watered down forms from some mythological pedestal you are placing shaolin martial forms is without basis and as I've already mentioned, a limited amount of techniques being practiced continuously are more conducive to self defense then practicing forms.

@@aardvarkhendricks6555 so then why not just practice ballet.. what a bunch of nonsense.

@@mikehunt9884 that’s like asking someone who plays tennis why they don’t play table tennis, just a matter of personal choice

[@mikewinburn]

Well… i see punches, kicks, blocks… so… looks as useful as any taekwondo kata, kendo form, or hung gar fist form…. Useful is in the hands of the true martial artist, i suppose. What am i missing?
