This is moves 50-59 of Part 2 of liuhebafa (Cantonese pronunciation: lok hup ba fa). This is a reference for those I teach and for anyone doing this version of liuhebafa. Part 2 of this interpretation of liuhebafa is quite different than other version of this form. This tradition comes from Liang Zipeng who was a recognized student of Wu Yihui, but he only learned the foundational part 1 and he built his own version of part 2 from his extensive Baguazhang, Xingyiquan, and Yiquan background. Liang Zipeng’s Yiquan style is often referred to as Southern Yiquan and Part 2 of this Liuhebafa has many elements in common with this.
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.
