Master Liu's WordsRecorder:LU Chang-Kuei
Translator:Peter Ying
-
- Master Liu scolded us for practicing “stupid martial art”, which meant that we could not apply theories into routines, not to mention showing the essence.
- There are too few southern stylists who really learned the essence of their field. Pak-hok(White Crane), Tai-tzu(Long Fist), and Hu-he Double Style are all good martial arts. But most southern stylists do not apply theories and they live like barnstormers, which leads to their little contribution to our culture.
- Ask Master Liu questions you need not be too courteous or shy, otherwise you don’t learn things.
- The difference between Pa-chi and Tai-chi is the horse-step.
- Perform Pao-chuei at high speed.
- Chen’s Tai-chi has a saber routine, namely Peach Blossom Saber.
- Rope-whip is called Chang-er Rope (a 12-Chinese-foot rope), with the head of an Iron Chain in the front, a wooden handle, and a piece of rope in between. It is used by stuntmen.
- Tsi-step: In ancient times they hung money on waists, so they walked with heavy steps. The toes digging into ground and raising dust are called “Tsi”. The recent name “shing-step” is wrong.
- Arrow-step: It shoots out like an arrow.
- Love should be broad, not just for children and families of your own.
