THREE HARMONIES IN TANTUI COMBAT SEQUENCE ONE

Shaolin Tantui

The effectiveness of body-movement in combat



A kungfu technique can be analyzed into three components, namely feet, body and hands. A co-ordination amongst these three factors constitutes the three external harmonies.

A technique can be effectively applied in combat only when these three components are in harmony — a fact many kungfu practitioners may be unaware of. This video series on Tantui Combat Sequence 1 provides some illuminating examples of the importance of the three external harmonies in combat.
