The Secret Move Hidden Inside Shaolin Kung Fu Fighting Systems

This secret trick is actually inside karate fighting systems

, as well as kung fu fighting systems, or just about any martial art. This is because it is based on a basic motion of the arms. This basic motion, once one sees how it works, will give rise to virtually all the techniques of the martial arts.

Stand in a natural stance, feet shoulder width and extend the arms straight out in front of the body. Bend the arms slightly and make circles with the arms in front of your body in a clockwise manner. The circles should be about three feet wide, and should overlap each other by about a foot.

As you make these circles you will see a sequence of blocking moves. At one point your right arm will be in a high blocking position and your left arm will be in a low blocking position. As you circle the arms clockwise of the limbs you right arm will pass through an inverted low block (back of the wrist protecting the groin) and your left arm will pass through a palm block (protecting the face).

Anybody who strikes at you will encounter one of these blocks, or fall into the swirling motion of your arms. You can angle the blocks and cause all manner of deflections and manipulations simply by adjusting the footwork. Take a step, turn the hips, pivot, all will change the angle of the circles in front of you, and you will find other types of blocks.

If you maintain distance and focus the circles you can execute hard and bruising blocks. If you step into a person and circle the attacking arm it will turn into a lever and a joint manipulation or a throw, as you might find in Gracie Jujitsu. Tighten it up and charge at a person and you will end up doing the basic Bruce Lee blasting technique.

As I said, this circling of the arms is native in any martial style, and most students will play with it at some time in their careers. Unfortunately, most people don't explore it to the degree that they understand the basic conceptual nature of what they are doing. Yet, a few decades into the art, a serious student will invariably realize the fundamental utility of the arm circles.

I discovered this move in Pan Gai Noon. The wa-uke circling block is a variation of this fundamental motion. It wasn't long before I saw it in the various kung fu fighting systems, and then the kenpo fighting art and all the karate fighting systems. I was quick to make it the pivotal point of my own Shaolin Butterfly Kung Fu home study course.

In closing, let me say that this arm motion opens the door to countless fighting techniques. If you reverse the direction of the circles, or reverse the direction of one of the circles, you will find virtually every martial arts technique in existence. Try it, examine your martial arts forms, and you will find that this little concept is at the heart of every martial system, and not just Shaolin Kung Fu Fighting Systems.
