NSL#9

Gene,

Some differences in translation but the moves are the same.

In #1 I have Immortal steps forward , flicks his clothes advances against punch with pair fist.
#4 we translated as Night Demon Searches the Sea and Captures the Tiger.
#5 Instead of Hawk Turns in Flight, I have Chicken Flips its body, etc.
#7 We translated Hooking Leg as Shave Kick.
#25 For Chicken Heart Fist, we use an alternate Lyric, Phoenix Eye Fist
#29 Before the word tiger we have Old
#30 We translated as Wind hits the monkey, fall to the ground into a splits
#31 We translate as Cat Uproots the Tree
#34 Before the word tiger we have Old.
#42 Instead of Grabbing Hand, Tiger sitting Pose, we have Pull hand and Catch Kick.
#44 instead of the word Cover we use the word Grabs
#46 we have Spike the ground, Pull out Onions.
#51 and #52 we have the same names too but also there is an alternate name; Ghost King Flips His Fan.
#57 and #58 For the word meteor we use Falling Star.
#59 After the word three, there should be consective.
#60 thru #63 instead of Face, we use Open.
#64 Instead of Punch Pose we use P’ao Fist.

old tiger

Lao Hu or old tiger just means tiger. Here lao doesn’t mean old.

Lao Shr doesn’t mean old teacher, just teacher.

4

That’s true if you’re being figurative…

But literally looking at the characters the Lao is “old” in both teacher and tiger - it’s a respect thing.

additional differences

Gene,

My student, Gary, has called to my attention that there are additional differences in #9.

In #8 we do not do a cat’s stance
After #8 we do a quick step, bang palm then do #9
In #9 instead of the word, holding fist, we translate it as grabbing punch.
We do not do #11, instead we do a right heel kick with a hands crossing above the head.
In #19 &20 we do a toe kick rather than a heel
We do not do #43, instead we do #35 here again.
In #44, we have the word ‘carp’ before turns around
#46 we have same but grabbing hands then we do ‘pull out onions’.
#48 ‘grabbing hands, tiger sitting pose’ comes after leg sweep.
In #49, we do not have a leg sweep
After #66 we do #68,then 67 then 68 again.
