A Mind Puzzle for you - Another chance to make you think

One of the more obscure arts I have found in
Shaolin Wu Xing Quan (Five Animals Boxing)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THUl6JcX9DU

It turns out there is a lot of good video on this obscure art.
It seems to consist of this one form, but there are also applications for the movements shown.


 The range of its movements are within the range of karate, of course quite different.

I thought it might make an interesting challenge to see how you might apply one sequence from the form, one I find personally interesting.

There are interesting things you can discover.

It is useful to look at things you don’t study to understand their application potential, and then use that understanding to work out how to defeat those movements.

Translated from Spanish
" the eight methods in the liuhe bafa (a system that has only one way: fist of the six harmonies and eight methods, divided into several sections, and has about 300 moves. Inside it there are 6 types of forms of fist, the twelve animals, eight methods, etc. ) are the following:
- Qi, concentrated the spirit.
- Bone, this refers to the connection of the joints. Hard outside soft inside.
- image, the idea is to be able to change the pace, copy.
- follow, this is a very broad concept, but it points to get to know yourself and your opponent. Used the concepts of yin and yang.
- raise, be awake, alert.
- return, practice the yin / Yang, interior and exterior.
- check, emptying the mind.
- hide. Don't let to know your intentions.

This is a very small explanation of the eight methods, this is much more extensive already these eight methods contain within ideas and concepts very broad and applicable to more than a system. "
