The initiater starts with two top attacks and follows up with a bottom attack, using the tactic of “sounding east attacking west”. The responder applies the famous Taijiquan tactic of “lian xiao dai da” (“lin siew tai ta” in Cantonese), or “defence-cum-attack”. The initiator moves forward from a left leg mode to a right leg mode. The responder moves back from a left leg mode to a right leg mode. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

In this sequence the responder counters with a left “White Snake”. The initiator applies the tactic of “one against two” on top and attacks with a vertical punch below. As the responder “sinks” the attack, the initiator circulates the opponent's hands to control them and moves forward with a push.

This sequence trains three different ways of applying “White Snake Shoots Venom” for top attacks. Both the initiator and the responder uses the principle of “flowing with the opponent”. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

The skill of “flowing with the opponent” is further developed and followed by “turning the momentum against him”. The tactic of “floating the opponent's attack” is also introduced. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

A kicking attack is introduced here. The defender responds with “no defence direct counter”. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

A side-kick, which is a kicking technique frequently used by many martial artists, is introduced here. In this sequence students learn a pattern that can be used against any kicks! The famous Taijiquan principles “apply stillness to subdue motion” and “start later arrive earlier” are practiced in the sequence. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

Another kicking attack, the thrust kick which is often used in Taijiquan as well as Shaolin Kungfu, is introduced. The tactic “no defence direct counter” is used against the kick. Students also learn how to respond if their kicking leg is grabbed by an opponent. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

Another kicking attack, the whirlwind kick, is introduced. In close quarters the whirlwind kick may be changed to a knee strike. Another Taijiquan pattern that can be used against any kinds of kicking attacks is learnt in this sequence. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

A felling attack and a knee strike are introduced. In this sequence students learn an amazing pattern that very well manifests the essence of Taijiquan, that is so profound but appears so simple that many people may wonder whether it can work. This sequence exemplifies the importance of stances and footwork. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

What would you do if your opponent holds your arm? This sequence shows you how to counter the attack. A series of still pictures of this combat sequence can be found here.

This sequence shows you another way to counter an opponent's grip. In fact once you understand the underlying principle and have the skill, you can apply this technique to counter any grips! This is an example of being cost-effective. Instead of learning, say, 20 different techniques to counter 20 different attacks, we learn one technique that can be used to counter all attacks!

This sequence exemplifies an important tenet in our school, “Wonderful techniques beget wonderful techniques”. You apply a technique, which many people think can be used only for striking, to lock an opponent's arm behind his back. He neutralizes it by throwing you onto the ground. But before he can complete his attack, you strike his ribs with your knee jab often without him knowing. Any one of these techniques may catch many people by surprise.
