BLACK APE SHOWS RAGE

Monkey

Selection from the “Shaolin Monkey Set” — Black Ape Shows Rage

Although the techniques of the “Monkey Set” are usually “soft” and suitable for the small-sized, there are also “hard” techniques where being big-sized can be an advantage. This makes the set a complete art.

In this video clip Sifu Wong shows Sifu Darryl Collett some examples of both “hard” and “soft” techniques in the concluding part of this Monkey Set shown in this video The “hard” techniques are found in the pattern called “Black Ape Shows Rage” where the exponent stands high and upright like a huge ape, quite different from his usual poise where he stands low like a smaller monkey.

The “soft” techniques are found in the pattern “Spiritual Monkey Surveys Path”, reminiscent of the Monkey God helping the great Venerable Tripitaka in their pilgrimage to the West in search of Buddhist sutras.
