dingyuan Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 "This is a style supposedly named for the grandson of Sun Tzu, the author of that famous military text "The Art of War" (Bing Fa). Sun Bin was himself an important writer and his commentaries are considered classics of Chinese military theory. The Art of War and Sun Bin's writings have been read and studied throughout Asia for hundreds of years and influence personal martial studies as well as wider military applications. This style is a Long Fist of fluid motions and light energy. It's most immediately distinctive feature is a high stance almost on the toes like a boxer during certain actions. Some of its sets relate to Mei Hua Plum Blossom Boxing."
Drunken Monkey Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 why does everything you ask/post about come from a chinese vcd/dvd collection? post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
dingyuan Posted November 17, 2004 Author Posted November 17, 2004 Because I collect them. So far I collect everything other than Baji Quan cause I already got a good teacher for it. I post these here because I find some of the style very interesting and not known by others, Sun Bin Quan being one of them.
dingyuan Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 Just curious, does anyone here do Sun Bin Quan??
stoneheart Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 This is an old thread, but I recently saw the survey VCD of sun bin quan. The style is by far the most awkward one I've seen, and I can't imagine the 'roadrunner' scurries being an effective way to move at all. The elderly man performing was both stiff and ungainly... I'd stay away. Is this even a real style practiced by martial artists in China or is it one of those curiosities meant for tourists?

I will question it myself, I never really heard it before and never saw anyone who's really good at it.
kzshin Posted March 15, 2005 Posted March 15, 2005 I never heard this style before, and this is first time I heard that Sun Tzu has a son name Sun Bin.
