This video has been digitally re-mastered from the original archival footage to enhance clarity and resolution. Additional footage utilizing digital slow motion, at half speed of practice movement are portrayed for amazing insights into body mechanics. Additional voiceover scenes have also been added to the presentation. This video features the basic Shen Lung Family Association's Eight Step forms of Ba Bu Da (8 Step Hitting), Ba Lien Shou (8 Continuous Hands), and Ba Tang Chuan (8 China Fist). Both Ba Bu Da and Ba Lien Shou are mixtures of elementary Hsing I and Linear Pa Kua while Ba Tang Chuan is an old militaristic Hsing I form. These three eight step forms are used as fundamental body mechanical training for Shen Lung Family martial arts. A sequential breakdown of the applications follow each form. This video presents only one camera angle for the forms, with voiceover, and an accompanying host of fighting applications of the basic Tang Shou Tao forms as created by the late Grand Master Hung I Hsiang. This very helpful video represents a unique peek into the mind of one of the great masters of our generation.
