SHAOLIN PARTNER FORMS
Shaolin partner forms are an important training method in Shaolin Kung Fu, specifically designed for two or more practitioners to engage in simulated combat. By mimicking real combat scenarios, these forms enhance the fighting skills and responsiveness of the practitioners. Partner forms strictly follow the principle of “where there is an attack there must be a defense, and where there is defense there must be a counterattack.” Through structured practice, practitioners learn to apply these techniques flexibly and unpredictably, allowing them to master practical combat skills with the dynamic interchange of offense and defense.

However, Liu He Dui Lian does not originate in the Liu He Quan fistform, and includes different movements and sequences.
