Pi tui xie xing An important component of Xiaohong quan, and other traditional Shaolin forms. This technique is very useful for kickboxing and even self defense. A little practice in the park in-between sessions. 17c yet lovely and warm in the sunshine. #pituixiexing #xiaohongquan #shaolinkungfu #shaolin #kungfu #fitness #kickboxing #zenkungfu #mindandbody #mindfulness #health #fightingtechniques #xinyiba #park #green #sunshine #tokyo #小洪拳 #少林拳 #少林カンフー #キックボクシング #格闘技 #フィットネス #パーソナルトレーナー #東京 #港区 (at Minato, Tokyo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVWycsjAT0I/?utm_medium=tumblr

Keeping study of stances within Shaolin curriculum, one can't ignore the "Hero sitting on mountain" stance which closes and opens many traditional Shaolin forms (like XiaoHongQuan and ZhaoYangQuan for example). This is also sometimes translated as "Luohan Sitting on Mountain" ( Luóhàn Zuòshān 罗汉坐山) or "5 flowers sit on mountain" ( Wǔhuā Zuòshān 五花坐山). It's also noteworthy, that this stance pays homage to Jinnaluo (Kimnara/Vajrapani), the patron and Buddhist saint of Shaolin, who, according to legend, straddled two mountain peaks with each of his legs while defending the Temple. The legs are in MaBu as if standing on two mountain peaks, and the arms are in the same position as the horizontal line on the Dharmachakra (Mon/swastika) seen on Buddha's chest. * While studying, I found an image of the stance actually superimposed onto an image of the Temples architectural blueprint and to no surprise, saw a correlation. * If not all, most Buddhist Temples in China are built with the same layout, so this is no coincidence. There is no question of the synchronicity of Shaolin Chan and Shaolin Wu, though many modern scholars debate it. * "Shaolin Kung Fu" as it's known to the modern world, was, is, and always will be a Buddhist fist, and further more, practicing it, with genuine heart, awakens the inherent Luohanship, hence the popular phrase "The Body is the Temple." * Now you know, the stance isn't just there to look cool, even though it does😊. I hope you hold the stance with more pride knowing you are  the walking manifestation of Shaolin and through your practice, the "moving sutra" of Shaolin Taolu, you awaken your inner Buddha with each step of your Journey. #Amituofo #Dharmapala #blossoming #Buddha #LuohanHabits #Tathagata #Shaolin #bodhisattva #Zen #Dhyana #Nirvana #Meditation #Lotus #chanbuddhism #DharmaChakra #ChanWuYi #ShaolinTemple #ShaolinKungfu #ShaolinMonks #Enlightenment #nibbana https://www.instagram.com/p/B289kxWpX-_/?igshid=1ezeik9f9lfao

A little snippet of this morning's training. Breakdown of another technique from Xiaohong quan. Xiaohongquan is considered the "mother form" in Shaolin Kungfu. If you can successfully assimilate all techniques from this form into your repertoire, you'll have plenty of useful and effective fighting techniques ready at your disposal. Being an essential and historical component of Shaolin training, the form contains many symbolic references to Buddhism, which aren't really so noticeable to those who haven't studied such things, although it's nothing "hidden" or "secret" because it's clearly visible when you know 😝 The same goes for the technique application and practice. The quality of your practice defines the quality of your understanding. For the desired result we need the right action. Shaolin Kungfu is a method of meditation and a means of developing skill. Skills that apply to everyday life and situations. Even things as mundane as standing up or sitting in a chair. #shaolin #kungfuworkout #xiaohongquan #zen #fitness #postivevibes #meditation #activemeditation #awakening #silentillumination #qigong #shaolinculture #personaltrainer #regression #variation #understanding #development #selfawareness #kundalini #kungfufitness (at 港区麻布台) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDN74ykJYuW/?igshid=16kh2gitegx8r

I've become obsessed with this "half technique" 😝 After learning a few different traditional fist forms I've gone back to the source Xiaohong Quan. Trying out different ways to refine and improve. Correct alignment is paramount to improved health and performance. #shaolin #kungfu #qigong #xiaohongquan #zen #martialarts #alignment #strength #movement #meditation #fitness #horsestance #xinyiba #karate #budo #功夫禅 #少林カンフー #トレーニング #フィットネス #オンライントレーニング #禅ヨガ (at Choshi, Chiba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBfeh2JEsT/?igshid=z4eu24bqux1x

Working on linking these techniques from Xiaohong Quan. Need to let go of trying to develop power and focus more on smoothing things out. Legs could do with more strength and conditioning. The further you go the longer the road seems to get 😝 Thankfully it's a labour of love and development. 100 days still going 💪🏻🙏🏻 #shaolin #kungfu #xiaohongquan #steeljacket #paidagong #qigong #fitness #martialarts #homeworkout #fitfam #perserverance #faith #karate #xinyiba #ironbody #bodyconditioning #kungfuworkout #personaltrainer (at Choshi, Chiba) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDERSowp2lD/?igshid=yqk8rz2y8y54

Xiaohong quan in a modern frame. This is actually a very enjoyable variation of a traditional combination to practice. #xiaohongquan #shaolin #sanda #kickboxing #homeworkout #fitness #kungfufitness #basics #stamina #foundation #personaltrainer #カンフー #キックボクシング #フィットネス #パーソナルトレーナー (at 新宿) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDlWaPAJI8l/?igshid=1s9fti5cyme29
