THE TEN HAND SETS OF NORTHERN SHAOLIN

Posted onJanuary 9, 2012byPaul Brennan

THE TEN HAND SETS OF NORTHERN SHAOLIN

(according to three primary documents)

[circa 1960]

[translation by Paul Brennan, Jan, 2012]

[This trio of documents was supplied to me through a trio of sifus: Nelson

Ferreira, who obtained them from Jason VanWinkle, who received them from

his teacher, Robert Louie.

Document A, titledShaolin Boxing Manual, is a printed document of five

distinct parts: a contents page, a list of thirty-six names acknowledging thosewho chipped in for printing costs, a concise essay on Shaolin principles, a bio of

Long Zixiang, and terse descriptions for the numbered movements of the ten

sets.

Document B is a handwritten document containing only the terse

descriptions for the movements, which were in this document originally

unnumbered. (I will translate here only its pure text and leave the numberings

and scribblings added by later hands ignored.)

According to Sifu Louie: Document A represents Northern Shaolin as taughtby Long Zixiang; Document B represents Northern Shaolin as taught by Yan

Shangwu; the original first page of Document B went missing and was replaced

with two pages handwritten byYans student, Wong Jackman (Document C).

As for dating the documents, none contain an explicit date, although a

passage from the bio in Document A reveals a date for it of roughly 1960. Sifu

Louie told me he obtained the two documents together in the 1960s, which

would mean Document B could not have been written much later than

Document A. Although it is also possible that Document B may have been

written earlier than 1960, the document itself does not give us sufficient reason

to think so.

Combining these three documents should help give us a more complete map

to the ten hand sets of Northern Shaolin. These documents are vital to Northern

Shaolin because they appear to be the earliest documents describing the

workings of the ten hand sets. We must hope that more such texts will turn up,

and hopefully dated even earlier and written in more detail, but until they do,

these represent our most reliable manual for accurately practicing this

material.]

GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO SHAOLIN BOXING [by Long Zixiang]


33/119

The capacity for martial arts to develop both health and self-defense lies in an

adherence to the basic principles of all exercise. Stylistic variations between

these arts are almost limitless because they have been passed down from such a

long time ago and because there have been so many skilled practitioners. Each

schoolsmovements and methods may be different, yet they all train methods of

body, step, handthese are the basics.

In the body there are the eight gates as well as the three methods [body, step,

hand]. In this system there are the ten practice routines with which to train theuse [of the eight and the three]. Additionally, there are the twelve requirements,

the three vulnerable areas, the three alignment points, the four ways of

vanishing, the three quicknesses, the twelve prohibitions, and the eight

mentalities. If you lack any of these things, you will not achieve the art.

The eight gates, namely thebodyseight means of applying techniques, are: 1.

fist, 2. palm, 3. elbow, 4. head, 5. hip, 6. knee, 7. leg, 8. foot.

What are the twelve requirements? [1] The emotions must be stable. [2] The

courage must be great. [3] The eyes must be discerning. [4] The hands must belively. [5] The shoulders must be level. [6] The body must be straight. [7] The

groin must stretch. [8] The stance must be stable. [9] The front leg must bend.

[10] The back leg must straighten. [11] The joints must have a quality of fluidity.

[12] The three vulnerable areas must be given attention.

The three vulnerable areas are: [1] above face, [2] middle solar plexus, [3]

below groin. You must ardently be aware of them, ready to protect them at all

times.

The three alignment points are: [1] hand, [2] foot, [3] shoulder.

The mind should be aware so the hands can directly confront. The three

quicknesses are: [1] the mind is quick, [2] the hands are quick, [3] and the eyes

are quick.

The four ways of vanishing are: [1] to lift a leg and thus disappear on one side,

[2] to spin the body and thus disappear behind, [3] to leap up and thus

disappear below, [4] and to straighten the body and thus disappear within.

The twelve prohibitions are: [1] cowardice, [2] timidity, [3] distracted eyes,

[4] tardy hands, [5] stupid legs, [6] confused feet, [7] crooked body, [8] slanting

shoulders, [9] joints twisted and stuck, [10] the three points not aligning with


34/119

each other, [11] advancing without coordinating defense of the three vulnerable

areas, [12] and not being well-versed in the practice routines.

As for the eight mentalities, they are: [1] The emotions rest like an

undisturbed boulder. [2] The eyes dazzle like [sunlight reflecting off] a well-

polished mirror [i.e. the expression in your eyes should make your opponent

want to look away]. [3] The hands are like electric shocks, suddenly appearing

then suddenly gone. [4] The steps are like birds in flight flitting back and forth,

and taking flight suddenly. [5] The feet themselves are like swallows taking up

water [the way they peck the surface for barely a moment], rising and falling

lightly and alertly. [6] The body is like a phoenix flying through to get to the

sunny slope, turning and veering with agility and liveliness. [7] When you

become still, be still as a mountain. [8] When you move, blur like a flash of

lightning.If you train in this way, then through daily and dedicated study, you will

naturally master it. What would happen if you encountered an attacker and

were still in doubt about your skill? Therefore how can you neglect the training?

Focus your mind, drive your body, and then it will work for you.

A SHORT BIO OF LONG ZIXIANG (by Zha Yaosen)

My teacher Long Zixiang is from Guangdong province, Xinhui county. He had a

strong yearning for martial arts, and so when he was eighteen [i.e. seventeen

1926], he put aside literary studies so he could train. He did obeisance for

instruction to a famous teacher of northern styles, the late Gu Ruzhang. Gu saw


35/119

that he was hard-working and smart, that he loved to learn and was not afraid to

ask questions. Recognizing that Long was good raw material waiting to be

molded, he then set out to teach him everything he knew, passing it on

meticulously. Thus Long received a northern system of qigong, the Shaolin

boxing art, and all sorts of weapons, learning each thing to perfection,

particularly Taiji Boxing, which he immersed himself in and has achieved a

profound level. Beyond his martial training, he also became a top expert in

injury medicine.

And so it was that in 1935 [age 26], he took the post of director of the

Guangzhou Martial Arts Club. He also became both a committee member and

the competition director for the Guangzhou Martial Arts Society.

But after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident [July, 1937 age 28], he urged his

disciples to flee farther inland. He wanted to help those who had been injured,and of those who sought aid of him, he healed them all. Due to this, his fame

spread.

When peace had been restored in China [1945age 36], he came to Hong

Kong and started the Chinese Physical Fitness Society with his close colleagues,

to which he was appointed as the director. 1949 [age 40], he accepted the post of

head physical fitness instructor to the Hong KongWeaversUnion. And then in

1950 [age 41], he was appointed instructor to the Taiji class of the Kowloon

General Chamber of Commerce, where he has been promoting Chinese martialarts for close to ten years now [which dates this document at late 1959 / early

1960], and in that time I among others have been able to learn from him and get

a deeper understanding of boxing arts.

We could not have been more fortunate in our teacher, for he is a man very

concerned over the well-being of others and full of benevolence. For instance,

reaching beyond his martial and medical expertise, he has been appointed

chairman of the Yaumati Neighborhood Welfare Association for two terms

running, making numerous contributions toward the benefit of the community.

In return they decided they should make him the lifelong honorary chairman of

the Association, and we, all of his students, salute him in congratulation. [This

lifetime honorary position did not last very long as he unfortunately died just a

few years later in 1963.] The way that he treats people is very well-mannered,

and if you did not know him, you would never guess he was famous throughout

the martial arts community.

[The bio above is clearly based upon and contains many verbatim borrowings

from the one that appeared in Long ZixiangsTaiji book (published Jan, 1952):

A BRIEF HISTORY OF LONG ZIXIANG (by Huang Chuying)

Teacher Long Zixiang is from Xinhui county of Guangdong province. He is

forty-three years old this year. [This would indicate he was born in 1908, but as

the Chinese traditionally add a year for the yearspent in the womb, he was

therefore actually born in 1909, and would in the year this was written actually

have been forty-two.] With people he is straightforward and casual, but the way

that he treats them is very well-mannered, for his personality is modest, having

attained a high level within himself. If you did not know him, you would never

guess him to be a man of martial prowess. When instructing students, he hasgathered many of the teaching methods of modern institutions. He is a

systematic and excellent guide, never displaying a bullying aspect toward his

students. Beyond being adept in the skills of both northern and southern styles

of martial arts, he is also an expert in injury medicine.

When he was eighteen years old [1926 again taking account of the womb

year and therefore he was actually seventeen], he had a strong yearning for

martial arts, and he put aside literary studies so he could train. He threw

himself into the Guangdong/Guangxi Martial Arts Research Institute, becoming

a formal pupil learning skills from the famous Northern stylist Gu Ruzhang. At


37/119

that time, Gu had a deep friendship with the Choy Li Fut Boxing teacher, Tan

San of Guangzhou, and there was exchange between them of students and

instructors. Gu saw that Long was young and promising, and beyond the skills

he personally taught him, he also encouraged him to train as Tansdisciple.

Thus in addition to learning the Choy Li Fut techniques from Tan, he immersed

himself in a study of Gusqigong, the Shaolin boxing art, weapons, Taiji Boxing,

and so on, becoming an especially unique exponent.

Suiting well to both southern and northern styles, his posture is agile, yet his

stance is firm. More than that, he has ingenuity of his own, developing the

technique of rukhunfurls awing.After he had achieved skill, he sought to be a

teaching assistant in the Guangzhou Martial Arts Institute, and later on received

his own teaching space. When he got his teaching position in Liantan, there was

an obnoxious boxing monk notorious in the area who wanted to take advantageof Longsyouth. He came to the school and kicked a tray. Long could not

tolerate this and had no choice but to perform Choy Li Futsskeweringpunch.

After just a few minutes the monk had become humble, and Long was for a long

while after nicknamed RukhsWing of Liantan.Later he also traveled to

Guangning county to teach students privately for three years.

Gu came south three times, and he invited Long to return to Guangdong to

take up the position of director of the Guangzhou Martial Arts Club so he could

resign [1935 age 26]. At this time, there was also there the group of theGuangzhou Martial Arts Society, and Long was put forth to be a committee

member and additionally was appointed as their director of competitions.

When Guangzhou fell into enemy hands [July, 1937 age 28], finding itself

alone and cut off from help, life at this point entered a new phase. Then when

peace had been restored to Hong Kong and Macao [the Japanese formally

surrendering them in Sep, 1945 age 36], he gave in to his fellow students

request and went to Hong Kong, and with Qi Runhua and Shi Jianhui started

the Chinese Physical Fitness Society on the peninsula, with him carrying the

directorship to this day. On DoubleTenth[Oct 10], 1949 [age 40], he accepted

the position of boxing instructor to the Bleachers and Dyers section of the

KowloonWeaversUnion. At the end of spring, 1950 [age 41], he held the

concurrent position of instructor to the Taiji Boxing class of the Kowloon

General Chamber of Commerce.

He has many disciples, is a famous author in martial arts circles, and is

sincere about keeping Chinese martial arts genuine. All his disciples now admire

the Taiji Boxing book he has put together. A detailed chart of his [Taiji] lineage


38/119

follows [which I have not included here and will leave it for a future post].

second month of spring, 1951

Curiously, when LongsTaiji student Paul Tam made a book based on Longs

Taiji in 1987, he reproduced the version used in the Shaolin document rather

than this longer and more developed one from Longsown Taiji book.]
