  • Ying Chuan: An evolution from a traditional form

    Ying Chuan (eagle) is currently taught, and is fairly well known, throughout Shaolin, by both the older and the younger generation monks. It is not originally a Shaolin form, but apparently is a traditional form that came "from the outside", from some unknown family or temple, some unknown many years ago.

    But, the problem as I have seen it now, is that, Ying Chuan, is performed in different ways by many different people. And each person stylizes it in a fashion that that person so desires. The eruption of outside competition forces no doubt has caused this change in Ying Chuan.

    So, at the present time, though initially a traditional form, Ying Chuan has evolved over the past fifteen years or so into a wushu competition form based upon a traditional form. Unfortunately, I can't find anyone who knows the original traditional form. (I haven't asked Shi De Cheng yet, he might now it; he knows an eagle form, the name of which I don't know).

    I'll continue to look into this.

    The wushu eagle claw form is pretty popular in the open empty hands in the wushu circuit now if I'm not mistaken.

        Ying Chuan Slideshow

        There is not a video of Ying Chuan but there a slideshow of it, see if you can follow this link:

        russbo.com Discussion Forum / Library > RESTRICTED AREAS > File, Audio, Video, Book, and Slideshow Libraries > Slideshow Library > Shaolin Gong Fu > Ying Chuan

        The Video Archives of Russbo may have the original video.. i could make a clip of it if can be found.
        Tell me you still need help finding the slideshow. I fixed the settings on the slideshows too, so it should stream better now.
        I do not have a psychiatrist and I do not want one, for the simple reason that if he listened to me long enough, he might become disturbed.

          I found it, but it's difficult to get the gyst of the form from a slideshow. I would love to see the video clip, if you can put it together from something in the video archive. Thanx!

            Can't find it.

            It was one of the old ones. I can't find it.
