Shaolin Kung Fu: Zhao Yang Quan combat applications
Shaolin Kung Fu sunny form (昭阳拳: zhao yang quan)
by monk De Yang
__________________
- combat strategy:
this style teaches ground fighting. its main tactics are:
tactic 21 - “plum substitutes withering peach (李代桃僵)“: have substitute plans, your main plan may fail.
tactic 22 - “remove firewood from under the pot (釜底抽薪)“: if opponent’s upper body guard is not easy to open directly or by feinting, a substitute is to target his lower body. the lower body is not as closely guarded and is an easier target than the upper body.
tactic 23 - “deck the tree with fake flowers (树上开花)“: keep your failed tactic on display as a cover to hide both your failure and your new tactic. if opponent knows you change your target to his lower body, he would bring his guard downward to neutralize your plan. thus, keep trying to penetrate opponent’s upper body guard even after changing your tactic to ground fighting.
tactic 24 - “repair the way in the open, cross the city in the dark (明修栈道, 暗渡陈仓)“: while overtly trying to open opponent’s upper/lower body guard, covertly attack his lower/upper body simultaneously or consequently.
these involve multiple high and low moves by upper and lower limbs combined together.

Qing dynasty (1644-1912):
in the early 1800s, monk Zhanju (湛举) created the ’sunward form’ (朝阳拳: chao yang quan, which also means the morning sun) based on a combination of various other styles. he later improved the overall strategical level of the form and renamed it to ’bright sun form’ (zhao yang quan, which also means the noon sun, which is brighter than the morning sun).
