There are technques in our Sarm Moon form called Hut Yi Loh Mai (beggar asking for rice). These techniques are one of the highlights of our Sarm Moon form which involve finger thrust, elbow breaking and bridge intercepting.

It is said that Sarm Moon is from Lee Gar.

EAZ: I do not know, nor have I seen the Tan Ging from HK. However it was described to me as being somewhat similar to the start of 9 step push. The Tan Ging from Vietnam that I know has the beginning moves which consist 3 lower phoenix eyes fist strikes to the lower body e.g. ribs whilst executing charging steps forward. Does this sound the same to your Tan Ging. The Tan Ging form meaning is singular force. However the term tarn ging is also used to describe the quality of power generation that has the elastic quality. The sound in Cantonese has very different intonation.

Yes our Tan Ging “singular force” has exactely this beginning.

have you seen “double force”, which I was told exists?

FYI I was tld but maybe I did not understand properly, that "elastic froce was indeed a seperate form. Could just be my missunderstanding though.

Thanks for your confirmation on Tan Ging that we are indeed talking of sale thing. These first movements are good exercices for unlocking shoulders, and “feel good”. The foot movements that come after are good for attacking “outer doors” , along with forearm strick.
