does any1 study the tan-tui method of kung-fu
i no many styles study it as a basic training system before they get other versions.
my school had a tan-tui system for the shaolin lohan, and my friends old school had 1 for eagle y do so many schools use this as there basics program?

Here's an article I found with a quick search of "Tam Tui":

Yup, thats what I've read on the internet.
Certain "simpler" forms or styles are taught at the beginning as complement to the real material of the school.
Usually you find chinese schools train in various styles to get various aspects of fighting.
Tan tui- "Springing leg" is considered "easier" to do. and goes well with northern styles of kung fu.

I did some Tam Tui with a friend in the 60's. Their leg exercises are quite good. One I liked was to spread your feet apart about horse stance width, but stand up erect. (not squatting down in a horse) then with left hand stretched overhead, s-l-o-w-l-y lean to your right straightening the left leg, bending the right leg, and strtching the left arm as you leaned over to the right as though you wanted to touch the ground on the right side. Then stretch the right arm overhead, leaning back to the left side. In time you stretched further and further over with the arms and went deeper and deeper with the bent leg, while stretching the opposite leg.
When you were good at it we'd begin to "spring" on our bent leg so it was straightend fast, pushing your weght over to the opposite side. It builds great strength and limberness as well as a loose, "whip" arm used in palm strikes to the top of the head. |

Yes i have also done some Tam Tui , it is a very good program. They use it in schools because it is a great leg program and also the rest of the body.
