Sequences

Hey Guys,

I was wondering what are some of your favorite YMAA sequences and why?


Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott,

I suppose my favourite for a long time now is the tan tui. I would say this is because they were my first sequences, and as I’ve grown in my understanding of kung fu, so I have watched them improve dramatically, which is a lot of fun. I can practice them anywhere, do 1-3, 1-6 or all twelve, depending on my time frame or mood. They are simple, but I never tire of them, I keep finding additional ways to use them, they are such a versatile training tool. Great question!

Cheers Inga

I have always truly enjoyed the Tan Tuis as well. There is an old saying in CMA circles that if your tan tuis were good then your overall kung fu must be good as well. I like the idea of low stances into high kicks。

For a long time I really enjoyed the smoothness and flow of the Mei Hua sequences (Yi Lu and Er Lu Mai Fu, and Shi Zhi Tang) I feel they are very natural for my body type.

As I studied kung fu more and more and trained alot of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Wrestling my body started to become a bit stronger. Now I find that I really love Gong Li Quan and Xiao Hu Yan a bit more. I really look forward to learning Yao Gu some day.

Yi Lu and Er Lu Mai Fu, and Shi Zhi Tang are wicked!

Hi Dvivid,

Wicked is right!!

I have to go with Shi Zhi Tang as the best of the three. The press down and uppercut 2x into low body block and simultaneous hook to the head.....Awesome!!! The footwork, qin na and hidden knife techniques are really cool. Plus Shi Zhi Tang seems a bit easier to use in sparring for simultaneous block and attack.

Yi and Er seem much more defensive which is nice as well.

Thanks for the link!!!
