Hi Simon, The standardized Yi Ki Muay is the same except for minor variations here and there. Just wondering; you guys still do the slow "1 finger" tension technique towards the end? Regards.  |

Simon, Thank you for the pictures. High time someone start putting more SiaoLim on-line! Yi-ki-Muay is a very special form to me. Spent 3 years learning this! Been doing it ever since and still unable to get to the bottom. Sifu Kang’s version is slightly different from the one I got from Nanyang SiaoLim. • After the salute, we do 2 hands finger spears, the left hand extended and the right hand near the left elbow. Sifu Kang’s version is like yours; both hands in-line. The other aspect is that our Sar-kuck-bey is much lower. Kheng Huan Sifu insisted on low stances. I remember having to stand in one posture for very long time. He would walk up and down before he moved us to the next technique. And when I was a kid in Nanyang, we must have at least 50 students in any one class. He would check everyone. So Yi-Ki-Muay would take half an hour. Can’t wait to discuss this in-depth with you. Regards. |

Hi Simon, I got to take one. Right now I am teaching Lohan instead of Yi-Ki-Muay. You could say I am following Ah Joo's system. Lohan and then Lotus. Give me a couple of days, I will post the posture. Thanks. |

Eric, I hope you were able to take a picture. I really love to see it. Meanwhile in Penang, they also do a version of Yi Ki Muay. But over there it is not called Yi Ki Muay (Yi Zhi Mei) but Er Zhi Mei. Not one twig, but two twigs so to say  Here's the name in Chinese:  Students in Geneva Switserland also do this form. A picture:  Notice the very low horsestance and the upright position of the upperbody. Hi Simon, Sorry for neglecting the SiaoLim board recently....... I am preparing some shots of my SiaoLim, Tai Chor and White Crane. Will post soon. Yes I am aware that Datuk Png does "Zee Ki Muay" but I don't have the story behind. The SiaoLim brother in the pictures - beautiful "Sar Kak Beh" and body postures. The way it should be IMHO. I think I have pictures of another SiaoLim form somewhere in my library. I will post some when I find it. My library is like a war-zone. ;D ;D ;D |

Hey! this is exciting! The pics was similar what my sifu taught me!
I was taught 2 forms of Yi zhi mei...the basic form then the 2nd one is the practical use for fighting...could there be any chance that this 2nd is known as "er zhi mei" ,, I regret not asking him that vital question!
Thank you

Hello Mickykh, Interesting to hear that you learned 2 versions. I think Eric mentioned once that there is a solo version and a man-to-man version of Yizhi mei: is it the same as what you practical use for fighting? But if U say is more simplified, I am unsure if we are referring to the same thing cos, the 2nd form is very tiring as I take abt more than 1 min & after some lung & heart failure to complete the form. Just tell me I have to work on my fitness....D: The video’s clearly show that Erzhimei is, in my view, a simplified and shortened version of Yizhimei. Whether it is more practical use for fighting, I really can’t say. I remember that the 1st form was more on development & bigger movement.....the 2nd one was more, in my opinion, more realistic in fighting......Thank you for answering my decade questions the name of the 2nd form, ...But I seen my sisuk do his YIzhimei whout much foorwork.....can that also be another variation? Even some of the moves in the 2nd form are modified..... I have heard abt Master Quek from my simo |

How abt comparing videos & we do research on the differences? I would like to see the variations myself... but give me time cos. doing the form always makes me suffer from lung & heart failures....Deal?
