The Tang Sou Dao forms are completely unique to our style and were created by Grandmaster Loke. To date, there are three basic Chee Pen forms, six intermediate Yi Chuan forms, six advanced Luo Han forms and three special kicking Cheang Ti forms.
They are formulated to be appropriate to the grade learning the form, but at the same time challenging for all grades, including black belts and senior grades. The forms are designed to be practical, each move can be explained and applied. The timing/ fast count of the forms starts at the intermediate Yi Chuan level. The fast count will facilitate the flow and explain the meaning and practicality of the form. The practicality, the defence, counter and evasion techniques shown in the forms are just some of the examples of the responses possible while maintaining smooth flow.
The footwork in the intermediate Yi Chuan forms and above incorporate evasion from a variety of angles. The techniques include the delivery of long range hip power, short range power and throwing power. Each form introduces at least one new kicking technique, a self defence escape and progressively complex combinations. Where some students are unable to perform certain techniques due to injury or disability, there are alternative techniques that can be substituted with your instructor’s guidance. During the course of your extensive training, eventually each of us will have developed our own preferred techniques due to our level of flexibility, age, build and strength.
Click on the links to find your form to help you train. However, forms cannot be learnt solely by these videos. These videos cannot replace proper and regular training in class. We also ask you to stick with the forms appropriate to your belt. The skills in your form need to be developed fully and with clarity before moving on to the next form. In that way your art will have depth and genuine proficiency.
Good luck!!
