MIZONG QUAN – TIGER HEAD DOUBLE HOOKS – FORM & USAGE 02

MIZONG QUAN – TIGER HEAD DOUBLE HOOKS – FORM & USAGE 2

We very much like th Tiger Hooks (“Heads”, due to an old misunderstanding of the original name). But this one lacks a certain vitality. On the plus side it is a very rational form eschewing the type of fancy movements which have now substituted for real knowledge of the weapon. Applications are shown against saber movements.

The flavor of Mi Zong is “indeterminate” with many changes, turns and reversals in this essentially Long Fist Northern Style. Rare in the West but very famous indeed in China.  The style was most popularly associated with Huo Yuan Chia the inspiration of TWO famous Kung Fu films: Bruce Lee’s Chinese Connection and Jet Li’s Fists of Legend. Master Huo was said to be fabulously strong and was picked to head the world-famous Ching Wu Association of ShangHai.

Demonstrator: Liu Jun Qi, 9th generation inheritor of the style.
