Video - Gong Li Quan (Making An Upstart Syllabus)

During my time being a wushu student, we used to learn the Northern Shaolin Tantui 12 Series as our kung fu foundation. Those who do not learn the Tantui Series would have to go through Mantis 14 Series. This would usually takes more than half a year to complete learning before starting the first wushu routine. But time changes everything especially our fast-pace society nowaday. Spending eight months on the foundation doesn't seems to interest many. Not many students would have such kind of endeavour. Anyhow, I would prefer an alternative to this. And that is starting with a Shaolin primary boxing : Gong Li Quan (Force Boxing).
Gong Li Quan can a powerful tool to build your foundation in Seven Stars Mantis Boxing. But beginner who chooses this route need to put extra effort in practicing it. The volume of this boxing may seems much lesser compares to Tantui 12 Series and Mantis 14 Series. But do not underestimate it. This routine is really a big help in your effort to familiarize your body with Chinese martial art movements and postures. It enhances the coordinations between hand and hand, and hands and legs. Besides that, the more you practicing it, the better you are at force generating and channeling.
