SHAOLIN PAKUA SET

Siu Lam Pat Kua Khuen

Sifu Goh Kok Hin, a senior disciple of Grandmaster Wong, performing a pattern called "Yellow Bird Plays with Water" from the Shaolin Pakua Set

This Shaolin Pa Kua Set is from Shaolin Kungfu, and not from Pa Kua Kungfu or Baguazhang, though many salient principles may be similar. This was an important classical kungfu set taught by Grandmaster Ho Fatt Nam that Grandmaster Wong cherishes highly.
The set is demonstrated here by Sifu Goh Kok Hin, Grandmaster Wong's senior disciple in Malaysia, from a video made more than 20 years ago. Many techniques used in Shaolin Wahnam today are taken from this classical kungfu set.

Names of the patterns in Chinese pronunciation and Chinese characters are provided below.
Video clips of the set can be accessed here
