Zhai Yao 3rd Section

Even though it says “3rd Section“ this is the second of three sections for this form (numbered one, three and five for some reason). Zhai Yao’s (Abstract) middle section is a more intermediate form stressing longer arm motions. Many repeated basics gives this form a feeling like a sort of Mantis Tan Tui and a representative set at the same time. This, though not high level, is definitely one of the “master forms“ for the system and is challenging enough that it should probably be learned in the three part breakdown suggested. Wherever Zhai Yao is a basic form for a branch of Mantis it is considered to be a catalog for most of the key actions to the system. Master De Sun is 8th generation inheritor of Taiji Praying Mantis Fist. He is now President of YenTai WongLong Praying Mantis Research Center; Zhibin Sun is 9th generation inheritor of Taiji Praying Mantis Fist. He is now a national wushu judge.
