Sun Frost White Crane Soft and Gentle Art
'Shuang Yang White Crane Rou Chien' is being brought down by my Master
Ang Lian Huat, who has learnt this form of art from his Master Miao Sian
Meng, from the Chuan Chew Shaolin Temple. Literally translated the name
should be 'Sun Frost White Crane Soft and Gentle art', I would refer to
this as the Shuang Yang White Crane Art.
The word 'Rou Ruan' which is supple, smooth, gentle, flexible and soft
which would be the best way to describe this art.
The 'Shuang Yang White Crane Art' enables a person to build a sound
and healthy body which is able to prevent illness.
The training of the 'Shuang Yang White Crane Art' involves the familiarization
of the sixty-six modes. Once the student is familiar with the modes, breathing
should be incorporated and later the practice of concentration of guiding
the Qi to flow with the body and limbs. The movements and steps should
be performed in a supple, smooth, gentle, flexible and soft as possible.
Diligent and regular practice play an important part in the specialization
of the art. The supervision of the Master or instructor is important in
the early stage of the course, this period is about three years of regular
practices. Once the student is conversant in the application of Qi and
the modes, he would advance to a stage of self-realisation in furthering
the art.

The ultimate of the art is to develop a strong and healthy body that would
be (as literally translated) 'soft and supple as cotton wool externally
and hard as steel internally'. That is, the outlook should be very soft
but inwardly it should be strong and viable. In his quest for the ultimate,
a student will discover and experience certain feelings stage by stage,
like the flow of Qi to certain parts of his body, the feeling of warmness
of the point of concentration. Apart from building a healthy body the Shuang
Yang White Crane Art is a good form of self-defence. It can be practiced
by everyone whether young or old, regardless of sex.
