I love slow forms. I would suggest that readers read eric's bio before viewing the vid. Anybody know the rules for doing a form slow and flowing or fast and hard? What I mean is that I see TKD people do their forms very hard and forceful. When I took shotokan, they would alternate and sometimes do them hard and at other times do them soft and flowing. What's the difference? Whats the philosophy?

. Aside from that, you listen to your body...i spend a minimum of an hour a day doing Hao chuan or 18 devils palm forms daily....the same form will vary each time you do it, some times slow and large frame, others faster and higher frames...that is the form teaching you.

Hao Chuan?????

what does Hao Chuan mean?

Hao Chuan is what Tai Chi Chuan used to be before it was called Tai Chi Chuan and before it was turned into a new age health exercise.

it means "loose boxing" imagine a raggedy Ann doll held by the waist and shook.

Earle was practicing Hao chuan but he does it like Tai chi...Hao chuan is much more fluid, unless you have seen 18 devils palms there isnt anything to compare it to except Tibetan Tai chi. However, if you dont know what Hao Chuan is there is no way you have ever seen the rest of those.

Thanks, Martial arts is truely a lifetime of learning.
