Its a style all on its own......Six Harmonies or otherwise known as Liu He.
Liu He Men is a branch of Yu style Shaolin Wushu. It combines soft and hard, internal and
external techniques. Liu He is based in the theory of six combinations : internally, cultivate
essence, energy and spirit. Externally, cultivate hands, eyes and body.
The purpose of this training is to develop an ideal state of health, protect the body's energy
and master self defence and retaliation.
" Eyes go with the mind, Mind goes with the Chi,
Chi goes with the Body, body goes with the hands,
hands go with the feet, feet go with the hips"
Liu He movement is firm, forceful, steady and accurate.
The heads moves like an inquisitive ghost, the chest sinks in
defence and extends in attack. The body floats, sinks and soars ,
jumps like a cat, dodges like a dog, rolls like a rabbit and turns
like an eagle.
"When one part moves, every part moves,
When one part is still, every part is still.
Move when the enemy moves, move like an avalanche" |
