Trin Yi Ch'uan from Shantung Shaolin (Shandong)

One of five advanced forms from Shantung Shaolin (Shao Fu Yin, Er Lo Chung Chin, Chung Fu Yin, Gok Mi Gin, Trin Yi) characterized by the same elements as the intermediate sets of this style, only much more difficult. These require great exertion to perform and long practice to get the critical timing right. The emphasis is on high kicking technique, sweeps, standing and flying crescents, and powerful punching. These sets are demanding, harden the body very quickly, and build great stamina. Flashy in appearance, yet refined in focus. Little known style that came from Grandmaster Kao Tao Shung.
