One
of the facets of the Bushi No Te Isshinryu program is that we have additional
form requirements honoring friends I have trained with, and additionally adding
another dimension to our practice.
Long
ago I first studied with Ernest Rothrock Laoshi, and often observer his students
studying a Pai Lum form Supple Dragon. I requested Ernest to share it with my
students to allow them to touch his training. That did not make our students
kung fu stylists, but it did expose them to another form of training.
No
question Isshinryu snuck in there as time passed. We are not Pai Lum students
after all. However it add a dimension to our potential. Also, it gives my
students a reason to hate me forever. A challenge.
In
this video Andrew Ware and Luke Hodgkins are performing the form in different
directions. This is more difficult. This was taken on 12-2-1995.
