Siu Lim Tao "The Little Idea Form"
back to System
The first of the three hand forms, Siu Lim Tao is dense and fascinating.
Essentially it's broken down into three parts. It initially assumes you know nothing and patiently explains the basic vocabulary of the system.
The first section is centered on using your body to show you correct positions and structure.
The second how to generate power in various directions and lastly putting them together properly.
The lessons are given to you methodically; first you learn proper stance, how to “draw your centerline”, how to punch, make a fist and so on.
As you progress through the system you will come to see this form in many different lights.
