Synopsis

Into this routine have been incorporated rudiments of the great majority of pugilistic routines ever invented by the Shaolin school. None of the moves to be carried out in the course of doing this routine does not exude a kind of pliant smartness, and none of the movements contained in this routine is not permeated with such refreshing valiancy as is peculiar to the Shaolin pugilistic community. This routine can boast an unusually remarkable type of manual-movement flexibility compounded with footwork dexterity and ushers in a strict sequentiality of movements. In other words, though each of this routine's movements is widely different from any of this routine' s other movements, yet all the movements this routine contains are regularly sequential. In traditional Chinese martial-art circles, most of the labels given to the majority of the movements this routine contains consist of the Chinese character , and that is why the Chinese name this routine bears is literally meaning the routine of . Here, the Chinese translator takes the liberty to transliterate the Chinese character as 'power' out of the motive of trying anyway to anglicize this transliteration.
