- Old Yang Form

as much and as deep as time allows.
Plus, get corrections at the workshop. Check your Yang Chen Fu form, Yang Lu Chen form, Cannon Fist, Large San-Sau, Bagua forms, Wudang forms, Hands Weapons, and Push Hands during this event.
Mother Applications in Taiji Small San-Sau
Mother Applications do not appear much in writing nor on DVD. This is exclusive. From Eli’s site: “The mother applications from the small San-Sau are some of the best multiple strike kill methods out there, teaching you all about body movement, Fa-jing, and Dim-Mak. These method were banned in the US for a time due to being too violent! There is one Mother Application for every move in the Small San-Sau, the postures in the form are your first reaction, your defence, even though some of them alone can kill, the mother applications are your follow ups, never giving a sucker an even break as we like to call it!”
Recommendation:
Get Basic Small San Sau. The following videos demonstrate varying levels of Small San Sau: MTG 3, MTG 24, MTG 53, MTG 134. Books by Erle Montaigue entitled Internal Gung-Fu Vol.2 or the classic Dim-Mak: Death-Point Striking both detail the Small San Sau.
Learn it, know it, advance it.
You can also get up to speed on Basic Small San Sau at Steven Smith’s Basic Small San Sau Workshop in July 2008.
Last year’s workshop was great. Sign up for this one.
