Does the wushu quan teach applications for the forms that it teaches? In fact do any schools in the dengfeng area teach applications of the forms.

It also depends upon which monk you get. For a few reasons.
What I've found of late, is that many of these younger monks just don't know the applications of the traditional forms. I've written about this in one of my Journals, I think, the most recent one, where I discuss my day with the wushu guan performance team. If you want to learn applications to the traditional forms, I think you'd be better off with an older monk. From the days before contemporary wushu reared it's head and altered things.
Also, it depends upon what kind of relationship you have with these guys. Some will only teach you the basics and the forms, and let you figure out the applications. With enough time, you'll get some of them. Some monks will only teach all the applications to their disciples. Some monks will teach you some of them if you "get along" with them. Some monks will teach some of them by default, to keep things interesting. It all depends.
The first issue is far more important though. As competition wushu becomes more important, I feel that the traditional arts, and their applications, start to slip away with the newer generation of monks.Experienced Community organizer.

Everyone is always asking about applications. In my experiance to learn shaolin applications you need to be great at the forms to apply them. Otherwise they are useless. If your some potbellied guy with no agility and no stances, you will get schooled trying to apply stuff from the forms. I guess what I mean is that the applications in shaolin are not practical. That doesn't mean they don't work you just need years of training . If the motivation for your training is to be street effective in the least amount of time with no real athletic ability try a wing chun class.
