Immortal Points to the Road
After learning the mantis boxing of Master Liang Xuexiang, Hao Lianru and his family took their new found knowledge and created forms that are unique to the Hao family of mantis boxing. “Immortal Points to the Road” is one of the Hao family's creations and serves as an introduction to the movements and theories of Hao family Taiji Meihua Tanglangquan.
Jiang Hualong and Song Zide were martial brothers of Hao Lianru under Master Liang Xuexiang. After completing their training with Master Liang, Jiang and Song together established the Zhao Ge Zhuang Tanglangquan Wuguan in the town of Laiyang, Shandong province. During their time teaching together they created the mantis form, "Plum Flower Road".
Afterwards, a member of the Hao family took sections from Jiang and Song’s form to create their own new form. This is quite apparent since the end of the second line and the entirety of the third line in “Immortal Points to the Road” are a copy of the end of the first line and most of the second line in "Plum Flower Road". Further, the last three moves found at the end of line four of “Immortal Points to the Road” are found at the end of line two in "Plum Flower Road”.
Here are the fist poems used for the movements that the two sets have in common:
鳳 凰 三 點 頭 Phoenix Pecks Three Times
臨 行 鴛 鴦 腳 Mandarin Duck Kick Before Leaving
转 身 回 马 鞭 Turn Body, Revolve Horse Whip
右 采 迎 面 圈 Right Pluck, Meeting the Face Circle
隔 肘 伏 地 下 Separate Elbow is Concealed Below
右 胁 捶 反 陽 掌 Right Threatening Strike, Overturn Yang Palm
回 马 鞭 Revolve the Horse Whip
左 采 迎 面 圈 Left Pluck, Meeting the Face Circle
隔 肘 伏 地 下 Separate Elbow is Concealed Below
擒 拿 护 眼 斩 腰 Capture & Hold, Eye Assault, Chop Waist
偷 展 磨 盤 打 中 堂 Steal Open, Millstone Strike to Middle Hall
缠 龙 锁 口 撩 阴 脚 Coiling Dragon Mouth Locking, Lifting Yin Kick
劈 开 中 门 压 当 顶 Split Open Center Gate, Push Down on Top
“Immortal Points to the Road” is an excellent beginner form and we at the Mantis Masters Academy are changing our curriculum to make “Immortal Points to the Road” the first form that a student will learn. It should be an excellent introduction to our second form, "Plum Flower Road".
