This is the first half of liuhebafa (Cantonese pronunciation: lok hup ba fa).
Liuhebafa is lesser known than taijiquan, but along with taiji, is one of the main internal martial arts of China. This particular version of liuhebafa comes from the lineage of Liang Zipeng who was a student of Wu Yi Hui. Liang Zipeng changed the form, specifically adding elements of his Yinquan training. Liang Zipeng’s form differs from his contemporaries who studied with Wu Yi Hui.

Moy Lin Shin studied with Liang Zipeng and also had mentoring with this form from fellow student Sun Di. Moy Lin Shin also changed the form by adding a greater degree of turning and stretching to highlight the health benefits. In many ways, he used this form as a type of medical qigong.

My interpretation of this form is influenced by the principles of Moy Lin Shin, as I learned this form from students of his. It is also influenced by my study of taiji and qigong with Dr. Yang Jwing Ming and two of his disciples, Jonathan Chang and Michelle Lin at Wu An Martial Arts. In addition, I have been studying kickboxing which has given me insight into this form.

Over the last several years, I have been training in bodyweight calisthenics. Outwardly, this training looks very different than liuhebafa, but this training is an excellent way to learn body control as you need to activate functional units of muscles, especially the core and spinal stabilizers. This training has greatly added to my understanding of movement. It has also deepened my professional work with the channel sinews (jingjin), a myofascial model of the channels that I have been developing over the last 10 years. This influences the goals that I try to transmit to those to whom I teach this form. Specifically, my goal is to teach a version of this form that activates the core, mobilizes the spine and highlights the grand circulation up the spine and out to the extremities.
