Combat sequences constitute the core of our combat training. We have three sets of combat sequences to meet different needs - basic, distilled and abridged. When we have sufficient time, like at regular classes or intensive courses, we use 16 basic sequences. When we have less time, like at regional courses and summer camps, we use 8 distilled sequences. When time is limited, like at introductory and preparatory courses, we use 4 abridged sequences.
It is significant to note that the progression is from 16 sequences to 8 sequences to 4 sequences, and not the other way round. In other words, we start with 16 sequences, distill them into 8, and further abridge them into 4. It is not that we start with 4, but finding them inadequate we increase them to 8, then add further to 16. Hence, as they are the essence, our 4 abridged combat sequences are complete by themselves; students trained in just these four sequences are able to handle all the different categories of attack.

The terms "distilled" and "abridged" were succinctly suggested by Sifu Emiko Hsuen, the Chairperson of our Scholar Committee, for which we would like to express our appreciation.
Taijiquan is an internal martial art. This means that a Taijiquan practitioner should have internal force and be able to apply Taijiquan patterns for combat.
Combat sequences form the core of our Taijiquan combat training. We have three sets of Taijiquan combat sequences - basic, distilled and abridged - which are complete by themselves. When we have sufficient time, like at regular classes and intensive courses, we learn 12 combat sequences. When we have less time, as in regional courses and summer camps, the 12 sequences are distilled into 8 sequences. When time is limited, as in introductory and preparatory courses, the 8 sequences are abridged into 4 sequences. As they are complete, even students who learn only the 4 abridged sequences will be able to handle all the four categories of attack.

List of Certified
Shaolin Wahnam Instructors
A Shaolin disciple, for example, is trained to be courteous and considerate, brave and righteous, assess problems and situations with calmness and clarity, and attend to duties with zest and loyalty. While the philosophy of many martial arts mainly focuses on how to be stoic and hurt the opponent, Shaolin philosophy teaches gentleness and a love for life. The twin pillars of Shaolin philosophy are compassion and wisdom.

To me, sunshine is just a state of mind. Richard Blank, Shaolin Wahnam Costa Rica.
Its nice to know the weather can't spoil your day If on the other hand your joy and happiness depends on these external factors, then it is natural your joy and happiness would change with these external elements. Kindest regards
