Seventh Period Qualification Contents
All items listed with an * must be passed before the student may enter the next period.
 

1. *Saber Fighting Forms (Five Forms) (Jian Dan Dao Fa Dui Lian).
In this test, a candidate must find a partner who has also learned the saber and work out five matching practicing routines. Naturally, all of the matching techniques created must follow the saber defensive and offensive theories.

 
 

2. *Qi Xing (Seven Star) (White Crane Barehand).
Qi Xing (Seven Star) is the first White Crane barehand solo sequence. Qi Xing is a short sequence, but it teaches the student the first three basic Jins which a White Crane stylist must master.

 
 

3. *San Lu Pao ( Three Ways of Running) (Long Fist Barehand).
San Lu Pao means " Three Ways of Running." It is an advanced Long Fist sequence which trains speed, root, and Jin. To pass this sequence a candidate must have trained his/her sense of enemy, which is what makes the techniques alive.

 
 

4. *Bagua Dao (Bagua Saber) (Long Fist Saber).
Bagua Dao means "Eight Trigram Saber." It originated in the Bagua style, and is considered to be an advanced saber sequence in Long Fist. It leads the student to a higher level of traditional saber practice.

 
 

5. *Kong Shou Dui Dan Dao (Long Fist and White Crane Barehand Against Saber).
By this time the student will have learned enough barehand and saber techniques to create a barehand versus saber matching sequence. Working as a team with his/her partner allows the student to analyze the techniques and put them together in a workable sequence.
