Cool thread Sal

Where are you getting these lyrics?

Here’s a link to my Xiaohong lyrics thread, an interesting comparision to your 7th post above.

I got them from Shi De Qian people, many many years ago.

They match up with what’s in the Shaolin Eyncylopedia, should since he wrote it.

Speaking of the Shaolin encyclopedia…

…I just finished an article about Shi Deqian. It’ll be in our next issue, alongside your recent submission, Sal. :wink:

Lyrics Resources?

TTT

We don’t really do the lyrics in my school (I’m also a cousin of the bak shaolin family–see xiaohong lyrics thread), which is fine with me as a martial artist, but as a poet I think it would be neat to know them.

Does anyone know of any decent resource to use to find the traditional names of various poses/movements?

If it’s lyrics for Songshan Shaolin forms you are looking for, the Shaolin Encyclopedia has hundreds. But it will also depend on the version of the forms you learn, the lyrics may be different. Not to mention also, various movements/postures often share the same names.
