Choy Lee Fut Fist Forms
In Chinese martial arts, forms are pre-defined routines performed by one or more practitioners for practice. Contrary to popular misconceptions, traditional form training in Kung Fu is very effective for fighting and is part of an all-rounded martial arts education.
Because our founder Chan Heung learned from a number of teachers and integrated a number of Kung Fu styles into his practice (taking the effective aspects of each), Choy Lee Fut has one of the highest number of forms in Kung Fu, with over 180.
Choy Lee Fut fist forms are divided into the primary, secondary and tertiary level. In addition to being a library of techniques, Choy Lee Fut forms focus on training particular types of energy or movement, to make an all-rounded fighter.
Choy Lee Fut has both solo fist forms as well as sparring forms for 2 or more people (which focus on applications since the practitioner is being attacked by their opponent). Below is a list of the solo fist forms.
