Small Luo Han Boxing
Small LuoHan Boxing is a great medium sized form with a special emphasis on the famous Long Arm Wave punch. Many tight spins and spinning back fists. Strong fast movement and solid stances. A nice Hop Gar form with characteristic moves. Xin Lin s explanation breaks down the forty or so moves with very clear demonstrations. If you are a fan of Southern Boxing of Tibetan White Crane this form is, in our opinion, a little gem. Often considered a Tibetan style, Hop Gar is a dynamic long fist style with a fierce history. In its lineage, it counts one of the Ten Tigers of Canton: Wong Yan Lum. This rarely seen style is proud of its strong fighting heritage. Developed around a specific set of principles such as angled evasion, no blocking and striking the pulse point, Hop Gar has an almost underground reputation as a powerful and nononsense approach to combat. Yet it s wide open movement have led some to discribe it as White Crane, but TIBETAN White Crane unrelated to the Fukian branch. Lin Xin s tea
