BSL Lyrics: Shaolin #8 (Shuffling)

BSL lyrics: Bot Bo - the original source, often imitated, never duplicated

[David Jamieson]

tried the search, it didn't work. the search fu is ...wanting.

so, i had it close at hand on my pooter, copy paste and plonk.

now that may be round about, but it is forum fu.

The search engine just isn't the same, ever since our big move. You got to do it the old fashioned way. It's like using a card catalog in the library. Man, I miss those...

I keep thinking I should merge down all the related threads someday. It would be a lot of work, but it would distill a lot too. Sadly, it's so far back on the back burner, it'll probably never happen.

Thanks one and all for the quick and kind response. The vivid and image-rich verses are clearly a useful mnemonic device if you can first connect the motion to the image. I'm wondering if these are the lyrics passed down by Gu Ru Zhang. The start of our #8, after the salute, is like this (in my description, not the lyrics):

1. Bend kness and cross palms in front of kness.
2. Wide C-step to left leading with heel as palms raise up as if carrying two pie plates.
3. Wide C-step to right, leading with heel. Palms stay in position.
4. Step together and double chop the sides.
5. Brush knees and double temple strike with fists.
6. Cross right arm over left, turn waist and look to the left back corner.
7. Impuse off of right foot and step left in that direction shooting a left palm from the energy of the step.
8. Step with right in the same line and right palm strike.
9. Pull back into right cat and grab with right. Chamber left hand to right shoulder.
10. Rise up into right crane and left chop to neck. Right elbow strike behind.

And so on.

From what you can tell from my personal description, does it conform to the lyrics you provided?

Dshanahaewon,

Hard to tell but so far to me, it in a small way it appears to be similar but I do not think it to be the same. Direction is the same but the position of the arms are different. Could be that the choice of words used in your lyrics for the movements are not a good choice for the movements. Don't know.

Maybe post more of your description since the choice of words do not seem to be lyrics.
