SUMMARY: Highlighted Movements of Peach Flower Fist

This tutorial excerpt shows a demonstration of key movements from the Peach Flower Fist (TOU FA SAN/桃花傘對打) form in Northern Mantis Kung-Fu by Grandmaster Lee Kam Wing. The demonstration emphasizes that while the movements are shown slowly for instructional purposes, they should be performed quickly in actual practice.

The highlighted techniques include:

• Double arm parrying movements pushing upward
• Hard blocks combined with hooks, grabs, and palm strikes
• Downward parries to knock opponents’ arms aside, followed by kicks
• Double parries with counter punches, targeting the ribs
• Leg blocks and sweeping techniques
• A sequence involving sweeping with the rear leg, hopping over, and sweeping again

The instruction emphasizes proper technique development – practicing slowly at first to develop speed, coordination, and accuracy over time. Special attention is given to parrying at both the wrist and elbow while using waist movement for power generation in punches.
