The ten-thousand laws can be reduced to one.
　All schools can be traced back to Shaolin.
　The styles of Shaolin have long held a place of leadership
　among Chinese martial styles. Among various northern
　Chinese martial art forms, there is a renowned category known
　as Northern Longfist.   However,  whether  it is Plum Flower
　Longfist, Islamic Longfist or Taizu Longfist,  though they are
　each their own independent styles, when you closely analyze
　their various principles and techniques they still do not stray
　from their Shaolin roots. Thus, in the Chinese martial arts world,
　they are all known as part of the Shaolin martial system.

　Taizu Longfist has always been honored as “the mother of
　Northern Longfist”. Its force is quick and agile and its
　energy is fierce and swift. It is a style based on ancient
　methods. The training of Taizu Longfist is designed to allow
　you to make gradual progress in a specific order. Each form
　focuses on different aspects, creating a special curriculum
　that includes physical conditioning and a wide range of combat
　techniques. It is an ancient style with a complete and clearly
　structured method of training.

　The first form of Taizu Longfist is called  “Chang”,
　as in “the form you should practice often.
　” It is a form we should value highly as vital training of the
　fundamentals. The entire form consists of swift entering and
　retreat, far-reaching attacks, and a strong contrast between
　rising and crouching. It keeps the enemy guessing and is
　strongly representative of the bold character of northern
　Chinese martial arts.  It is excellent fundamental training
　of kicking, footwork and body mechanics, and, at the same time,
　is an excellent form for  practical combat application.
