INTRODUO
THE TEN HAND SETS OF NORTHERN SHAOLIN
AS DEZ FORMAS DE MOS DO SHAOLIN DO NORTE
(according to three primary documents)
(de acordo com os trs documentos primrios)
[circa 1960]
[translation by Paul Brennan, Jan, 2012]
[traduo em portugus por Robson Carlos Tonello, Janeiro, 2016]
[This trio of documents was supplied to me through a trio of sifus: Nelson
Ferreira, who obtained them from Jason VanWinkle, who received them from his
teacher, Robert Louie.
Document A, titled Shaolin Boxing Manual, is a printed document of five
distinct parts: a contents page, a list of thirty-six names acknowledging those who
chipped in for printing costs, a concise essay on Shaolin principles, a bio of Long
Zixiang, and terse descriptions for the numbered movements of the ten sets.
Document B is a handwritten document containing only the terse descriptions
for the movements, which were in this document originally unnumbered. (I will
translate here only its pure text and leave the numberings and scribblings added
by later hands ignored.)
According to Sifu Louie: Document A represents Northern Shaolin as taught
by Long Zixiang; Document B represents Northern Shaolin as taught by Yan
Shangwu; the original first page of Document B went missing and was replaced
with two pages handwritten by Yans student, Wong Jackman (Document C).
As for dating the documents, none contain an explicit date, although a passage
from the bio in Document A reveals a date for it of roughly 1960. Sifu Louie told
me he obtained the two documents together in the 1960s, which would mean
Document B could not have been written much later than Document A. Although
it is also possible that Document B may have been written earlier than 1960, the
document itself does not give us sufficient reason to think so.
Combining these three documents should help give us a more complete map
to the ten hand sets of Northern Shaolin. These documents are vital to Northern
Shaolin because they appear to be the earliest documents describing the workings
of the ten hand sets. We must hope that more such texts will turn up, and
hopefully dated even earlier and written in more detail, but until they do, these
represent our most reliable manual for accurately practicing this material.]
[Este trio de documentos foram fornecidos a mim atravs de trs Sifus: Nelson
Ferreira, que os obteve a partir de Jason VanWinkle, que os recebeu de seu
professor, Robert Louie.
O documento A, intitulado Manual do Boxe de Shaolin, um documento
impresso em cinco partes distintas: uma pgina de contedo, uma lista de trinta
e seis nomes reconhecendo aqueles que auxiliaram nos custos de impresso, um
ensaio curto sobre os princpios de Shaolin, uma biografia de Long Zixiang, e
descries concisas para os movimentos numerados das dez formas.
O documento B um manuscrito contendo apenas as curtas descries para
os movimentos que foram originalmente no numeradas nele. (Traduzirei aqui
apenas o texto puro e ignorarei as numeraes e rabiscos adicionados
posteriormente em mo livre.)
De acordo com Sifu Louie: O documento A representa o Shaolin do Norte
como ensinado por Long Zixiang; O documento B representa o Shaolin do Norte
como ensinado por Yan Shangwu, a primeira pgina original do documento B
desapareceu e foi substituda com duas pginas manuscritas pelo aluno de Yan,
Wong Jackman (Documento C).
Quanto data dos documentos, no h a presena de uma explcita, embora
uma passagem da bio revela uma data de cerca de 1960. Sifu Louie me disse que
na dcada de 1960 obteve os dois documentos juntos, o que significaria que o
documento B no poderia ter sido escrito muito depois do que o documento A.
Embora isso seja possvel, o documento B pode ter sido escrito antes de 1960, ele
em si no nos fornece razes suficientes para determinar a verdadeira data.
Ao combinar esses trs documentos ajudar a dar-nos um mapa mais
completo para as dez formas de mo de Shaolin do Norte. Estes documentos so
vitais para o estilo pois parecem ser os primeiros que descrevem o funcionamento
das dez formas de mo. Esperamos que mais textos de pesquisa apaream e, por
sorte, ainda mais antigos, datados e escritos em mais detalhes. Mas at que eles
apaream, este representa nosso manual mais confivel para preciso da prtica
destas rotinas.]

The capacity for martial arts to develop both health and self-defense lies in
an adherence to the basic principles of all exercise. Stylistic variations between
these arts are almost limitless because they have been passed down from such a
long time ago and because there have been so many skilled practitioners. Each
schools movements and methods may be different, yet they all train methods of
body, step, hand these are the basics.
In the body there are the eight gates as well as the three methods [body, step,
hand]. In this system there are the ten practice routines with which to train the
use [of the eight and the three]. Additionally, there are the twelve requirements,
the three vulnerable areas, the three alignment points, the four ways of vanishing,
35
the three quicknesses, the twelve prohibitions, and the eight mentalities. If you
lack any of these things, you will not achieve the art.
The eight gates, namely the bodys eight means of applying techniques, are: 1.
fist, 2. palm, 3. elbow, 4. head, 5. hip, 6. knee, 7. leg, 8. foot.
What are the twelve requirements? [1] The emotions must be stable. [2] The
courage must be great. [3] The eyes must be discerning. [4] The hands must be
lively. [5] The shoulders must be level. [6] The body must be straight. [7] The
groin must stretch. [8] The stance must be stable. [9] The front leg must bend.
[10] The back leg must straighten. [11] The joints must have a quality of fluidity.
[12] The three vulnerable areas must be given attention.
The three vulnerable areas are: [1] above face, [2] middle solar plexus, [3]
below groin. You must ardently be aware of them, ready to protect them at all
times.
The three alignment points are: [1] hand, [2] foot, [3] shoulder.
The mind should be aware so the hands can directly confront. The three
quicknesses are: [1] the mind is quick, [2] the hands are quick, [3] and the eyes
are quick.
The four ways of vanishing are: [1] to lift a leg and thus disappear on one side,
[2] to spin the body and thus disappear behind, [3] to leap up and thus disappear
below, [4] and to straighten the body and thus disappear within.
The twelve prohibitions are: [1] cowardice, [2] timidity, [3] distracted eyes, [4]
tardy hands, [5] stupid legs, [6] confused feet, [7] crooked body, [8] slanting
shoulders, [9] joints twisted and stuck, [10] the three points not aligning with
each other, [11] advancing without coordinating defense of the three vulnerable
areas, [12] and not being well-versed in the practice routines.
As for the eight mentalities, they are: [1] The emotions rest like an undisturbed
boulder. [2] The eyes dazzle like [sunlight reflecting off] a well-polished mirror
[i.e. the expression in your eyes should make your opponent want to look away].
[3] The hands are like electric shocks, suddenly appearing then suddenly gone.
[4] The steps are like birds in flight flitting back and forth, and taking flight
suddenly. [5] The feet themselves are like swallows taking up water [the way they
peck the surface for barely a moment], rising and falling lightly and alertly. [6]
The body is like a phoenix flying through to get to the sunny slope, turning and
veering with agility and liveliness. [7] When you become still, be still as a
mountain. [8] When you move, blur like a flash of lightning.
If you train in this way, then through daily and dedicated study, you will
naturally master it. What would happen if you encountered an attacker and were
36
still in doubt about your skill? Therefore how can you neglect the training? Focus
your mind, drive your body, and then it will work for you.
A capacidade das artes marciais para desenvolver tanto a sade e autodefesa reside na adeso aos princpios bsicos de todos os exerccios. Variaes
estilsticas entre as artes so quase ilimitadas pois foram passadas h muito
tempo atrs e atravs de inmeros profissionais qualificados. Ainda que
movimentos e mtodos de cada escola possam ser diferentes, todos treinam os

1960], and in that time I among others have been able to learn from him and get
a deeper understanding of boxing arts.
We could not have been more fortunate in our teacher, for he is a man very
concerned over the well-being of others and full of benevolence. For instance,
reaching beyond his martial and medical expertise, he has been appointed
chairman of the Yaumati Neighborhood Welfare Association for two terms
running, making numerous contributions toward the benefit of the community.
In return they decided they should make him the lifelong honorary chairman of
the Association, and we, all of his students, salute him in congratulation. [This
lifetime honorary position did not last very long as he unfortunately died just a
few years later in 1963.] The way that he treats people is very well-mannered, and
if you did not know him, you would never guess he was famous throughout the
martial arts community.
[The bio above is clearly based upon and contains many verbatim borrowings
from the one that appeared in Long Zixiangs Taiji book (published Jan, 1952):
Meu professor, Long Zixiang, da provncia de Guangdong, municpio de
Xinhui. Ele tinha uma forte nsia pelas artes marciais, e assim que completou
dezoito anos [ie dezessete anos - 1926], ps de lado os estudos literrios para
treinar. Pediu instruo para um famoso professor dos estilos do norte, o falecido
Gu Ruzhang. Gu percebeu que era dedicado e inteligente, gostava de aprender e
no tinha medo de fazer perguntas. Reconhecendo que Long possua uma boa
matria-prima espera de ser moldada, ento comeou a ensinar-lhe tudo o que
sabia, passando meticulosamente. Long adquiriu o conhecimento de um sistema
do norte de qigong, a arte do boxe de Shaolin e todos os tipos de armas,
aprendendo cada um com perfeio, particularmente no boxe de Taiji, no qual
mergulhou a si e alcanou um profundo nvel. Alm de seu treino marcial, tornouse um dos maiores especialistas em medicina de leso.
E assim em 1935 [26 anos], assumiu o posto de diretor do Clube de Artes
Marciais de Guangzhou. Tambm se tornou tanto membro do comit como
diretor de competio da Sociedade de Artes Marciais de Guangzhou.
Mas, aps o incidente da Ponte de Marco Polo [Julho de 1937 - 28 anos],
exortou seus discpulos a fugir para o interior. Ele queria ajudar aqueles que
foram feridos e quais procuraram por ajuda, curava a todos. Devido a este fato,
sua fama se espalhou.
Quando a paz foi restaurada na China [1945- com 36 anos], chegou a Hong
Kong e comeou a Sociedade Chinesa de Aptido Fsica com seus colegas mais
prximos, sendo apontado como diretor. Em 1949 [40 anos], aceitou o cargo de
41
instrutor chefe de fitness na Hong Kong Weavers Union'. Em 1950 [41 anos],
foi nomeado instrutor para a classe de Taiji na Cmara Geral de Comrcio de
Kowloon, onde tem promovido as artes marciais chinesas h quase dez anos [a
data deste documento de final de 1959 / incio de 1960 ], e nesse meio tempo,
eu, entre outros puderam aprender com ele e obter uma compreenso mais
profunda das artes de boxe.
No poderamos ter sido mais sortudos em conhecer nosso professor, pois
um homem muito preocupado sobre o bem-estar dos outros e cheio de
benevolncia. Como exemplo, indo alm de sua experincia marcial e mdica, foi
nomeado presidente da Associao de Bem-Estar da comunidade de Yaumati por
dois mandatos, fazendo inmeras contribuies para o benefcio da sociedade.
Eles, em troca decidiram que deveria torn-lo o presidente honorrio vitalcio da
Associao, e ns, todos os seus alunos, saudamos em congratulao. [Esta
posio honorria no durou muito tempo at que infelizmente morreu poucos
anos depois, em 1963.] A forma como tratou as pessoas de extrema educao, e
se no o conhece, nunca iria adivinhar que foi famoso entre a comunidade de
artes marciais.

do que aparece no livro de Long Zixiang Taiji (publicado em Janeiro de 1952)]

and excellent guide, never displaying a bullying aspect toward his students.
Beyond being adept in the skills of both northern and southern styles of martial
arts, he is also an expert in injury medicine.
O professor Long Zixiang do muncipio de Xinhui da provncia de
Guangdong. Ele tem 43 de idade este ano. [Isto indicaria que nasceu em 1908,
mas como o chins tradicionalmente adiciona um ano para o "ano" que passou
no tero, na verdade Long nasceu em 1909 e poderia ter realmente escrito com
quarenta e dois.]
Com pessoas simples e casual, mas a maneira que os trata de total
educao, para sua personalidade modesto, tendo alcanado um alto nvel. Se
no o conhece, nunca iria adivinhar que fosse um homem de habilidade marcial.
Ao instruir aos estudantes, reuniu muitos dos mtodos de ensino das instituies
modernas. um guia sistemtico e excelente, nunca mostrando um aspecto de
intimidao para com os seus alunos. Alm de ser adepto das habilidades de
ambos os estilos do norte e do sul, tambm especialista na medicina de
ferimentos.
When he was eighteen years old [1926 again taking account of the womb
year and therefore he was actually seventeen], he had a strong yearning for
martial arts, and he put aside literary studies so he could train. He threw himself
