Saam Mun Pa Kua Kuen (aka Sum Mon Ba Gua Kuen and other variations) - Three Door 8 Methods Fist
Generally taught after Saam Mon Kuen, this form teaches stomping power, features lots of open handed strikes, and contains some very active footwork patterns. Lots of forward, lateral and diagonal movements.
Considered an intermediate set, it sometimes seems to be moving one direction and immediately moving another. There are some subtle variations to techniques already taught in the prior sets.
Note: Sorry for the inconsistencies in the spelling/translation of the names of the sets. Depending on when and which dialect was translated, the 'Romanized' spelling may be different. Heck, I started out studying the Chinese arts when Beijing was Peking - so humor us old farts our spelling flaws.
