any books or videos on Plum Flower post training
Do any of you guys know of any good info (books, videos, articles, whatever) on plum flower post training. I have also heard it called "May flower" post training, but i dont think that is actually accurate. I have also found a place that has a book on it but it was in chinese.
thanks!
April showers and May Flowers
It's actually 'mei' not 'may'. Meihua literally means Plum Flower. May flower is a funny half translation.
There is a lot of pole training in Lion Dancing and some in Songshan Shaolin, as well as some other assorted styles. It won't help you in pro-boxing or MMA because those are ring sports, not reality fighting. In the street, being able to engage obstacles is a useful skill obviously, so footwork exercises like plum flower pole training has some potential application. Be warned. Pole training is quite dangerous. It's an easy way to twist your ankle.
