1st Lesson on Shaolin Kung Fu.

The Ma Bu stance is a basic stance in Kung Fu, It's also the first stance to learn in all Kung Fu stances. It is an important posture in Asian martial arts and takes its name from the position assumed when riding a horse; it is called horse stance. This stance can not only be integrated into
fighting but also during exercises and forms. It is most commonly used for practicing punches or to strengthen the legs and back.

Mabu is used for endurance training as well as strengthening the back and leg muscles, tendon strength, and overall feeling and understanding of "feeling grounded".

I guess no one is following the tutorial.... Pending till someone comment or ask a question on the previous lesson...

Second Lesson on Shaolin Kung Fu

Gong Bu 弓步

Translated as "bow stance", Gong Bu is also known as "Deng Shan Bu" (mountain-climbing stance) or "Gong Jian Bu" (bow and arrow stance). The lead foot is pointed straight ahead, with the lead leg bent slightly. The trailing foot is angled outward at a 45 degree angle, with the heel lined up with the heel of the leading foot.

The trailing leg can be held straight or slightly bent. The result is a "lunging" pose. In southern styles, the toe is if it had stayed in Ma Bu; starting in Ma Bu, the hind leg steps forward and turns while the front leg stays in the same position. In northern styles, the toe points forward. The given weighting is 70% on the front foot and 30% on the rear.

In application, it is popularly used for attacking. The structure of the stance partially protects the groin and allows the martial artist to punch with greater power by driving the rear leg into the ground. Additionally, the rear leg can be quickly drawn forward for kicking attacks.

Thanks for your comment.... I started with Taekwondo as back as 2005, but I later left the dojo because I don't have passion for the art. It was that same year I started learning kung fu under Lagos State Wushu Association.

I see. I think it was the right decision to port to kung fu since it was what you had the passion for. #patiently awaiting your next class.

Yeah....! I will post on Pu Bu today.

Fú Hǔ Bù 伏虎步

Fu Hu Bu is translated as “tame the tiger stance.” Other names include “drop stance” or Pu Bu, “flat stance.” According to changquan master Yang Jwing-Ming, the stance was named after a martial artist named Wu Song, who slew a leaping tiger with the stance during the Song Dynasty. In this position, the martial artist squats on one leg until the thigh is parallel to the ground and extends the other leg out to the side. Both feet are parallel and pointing forward, relative to the torso, and like Zuo Pan Bu, the practitioner faces the opponent with his/her side.

Versatile in application, Fu Hu Bu can be employed for both attack and defense. A primary application of this stance is defense against high or jumping kicks, as evidenced in the Taiji technique “Strike the Tiger.” Baguazhang and Taiji forms also use the stance for low hand attacks, such as “Snake Creeps Down” from the Yang-style taijiquan sequence.

With Northern Praying Mantis, Fu Hu Bu is applied in Ba Bu Gan Chan, a leaping attack to the opponent’s ankle with the foot. In traditional changquan forms, such as Yi Lu Mai Fu, the stance is used to pick up objects from ground for use as projectiles during combat.
As with Ma Bu, different styles assume Fu Hu Bu in differing ways.

We are back and better... After a long break from this forum, we are back to give you a better training tips on traditional Xiaolin Kung Fu... Stay with us.
