The pattern "Sun Enters Lotus" in the set "White Snake Shoots Venom"

Many martial artists have a mis-conception that sets came first, and masters took patterns from the sets and try to use them in combat. Many kungfu practitioners today do not know how to use the patterns in their set for fighting. In reality, the progression is the other way round. Patterns came first, evolved from actual fighting experience. Masters linked suitable patterns into a sequence, which gave them many advantages in combat. The sequences were then linked together to form a set for teaching and practice purposes. Hence, asking whether kungfu patterns, which are found in kungfu sets, can be used for fighting becomes irrelevant. This video series shows course participants reliving this progression from patterns to sequences to set in the review of the three combat sequences that form the set ?White Snake Shoots Venom?.
