Kuen - Lung Lek Kuen (Supple Dragon)
Young Lee
Kuen - Lung Lek Kuen (Supple Dragon)
Supple Dragon was taught at the blue sash level of the Pai Lum system of
Kung Fu. This form exemplifies the turning and twisting movements of the
Dragon. It develops the quick turning ability needed for defending against
multiple attacks and defenses for rear attacks. The left leg kick is emphasized
for development. IT also comprises many jumping techniques needed to avoid
ground attacks or for chasing retreating opponents. Flower techniques are
highlighted throughout the form making this one of the most beautiful sets to
watch.
