Jianwu (From Paragate - source YouTube)

Jianwu (Healing Dance) is the overall expression of all your skills in Yiquan, some are against it as it goes against the famous principle of no taolu (predefined linking forms) in Yiquan but in the other hand how can we achieve better fluidity between several techniques without linking them altogether?
In this footage, we can appreciate a quite good general whole body, except in some acceleration where the head seems to precede other parts of the body (you can therefore read his intention).
Jianwu is also not only the practice of the form but also the mind, then the beginning and the end of its performance should be in perfect harmony as opening and closing “doors”.
What can you read more in this performance?
For more info about Jianwu:
Li Zhaoshan has written Authentic Healing Dachengquan which includes a large section on Jianwu presenting each on its 36 Forms in detail.
