The folks at Warrior Body, Buddha Mind
have put out another video, this one on the set Gau Bo Toi.
Sifu Christer does the demonstrating of
the form, and explains in detail how the body is supposed to move
during the form.
This version of Gau Bo Toi is different
than the one I have been taught previously (from Yau Kung Mun and CLC
Bak Mei lineage). Neither is better – but there is definitely a
different feeling in the performance of the form. It's movements, to
me, are not as staccato as the YKM version – more of a continuous
flow from one set of techniques into the next. Sifu Christer explains
and demonstrates how to make the flow occur.
If you already know the form from CLC
Bak Mei or YKM, I still recommend acquiring the video and to treat it
as a new form – there are similarities, but also enough new nuances
to make it worthy of study.
I am eagerly awaiting the companion
video explaining the applications.
