searcher Posted December 11, 2003 Posted December 11, 2003 I am doing some research on the different types of iron and bamboo fan forms. My wife has become interested in them after seeing a demonstartion. I am looking for any information on a flowing style of fan form that has a martial base to it. I am considering Tai Chi, Bagua, and Choy lay fut. If anyone has any input on a style that would have a good mix of flow and martial application I would appreciate the help.

KoreanTiger30 Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 TAI CHI FAN FORMS ARE VERY GRACEFUL AND REQUIRE ALOT OOF BLANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY DEF. A GOOD WORKOUT FOR THE MUSCLES..i PEROSNALLY ENJOY THE KUK SOOL OWN AND HAPKIDO FAN FORMS BUT THEY ARE MORE OF COMBAT APPLICATED STLYE FORMS Choi, Ji Hoon Instructor-3rd Dan-Tae Kwon Do 3rd Dan HapkidoInternational Haedong Gumdo FederationKyuk Too Ki (Korean Kickboxing/Streetfighting)
DLopez Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 I don't believe the fan forms in KSW are taught until well after 1st black belt, but they are very beautiful forms. In fact, I'd say all of KSW forms are beautiful, especially when women perform them. KSW forms flow with grace when done correctly, and women just have that advantage of flowing gracefully over us rigid men! I wouldn't know where to direct you to learn just fan forms though.

tommarker Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 There is a Choy Lay Fut book out there outlining one a fan form. I'm no longer posting here. Adios.
