I have become very interested in the old Eagle Claw and it's applications. I have spent time training in Shaolin, and am considering going back for a few months if I can find someone to teach me the old Shaolin Eagle claw. I have learned one Eagle Claw form already and have seen many different Eagle Claw forms, but have yet to find one that I really like. I have absolutley no interest in the Wushu Eagle forms that are currently being taught everywhere. I want to learn a proper version of traditional eagle claw (preferably from someone 34th generation or older) and most importantly, the applications from the form. I'd like to make the Chin Na' applications second nature.
Any thoughts on someone I could train with around the Temple (Songshan) who specializes in Eagle and its applications, and not just one of the younger guys who knows wushu versions that look pretty, but have lost a lot of the applications. DeCheng maybe??? I have just returned from spending 6 months training in Shaolin, and have about 2 1/2 months free time. I am considering going back if I can find proper Eagle Claw instruction there.
