The order of greetings are the same whether at the beginning of the course or at the end of the course. The 2nd salute is generally not performed in competitions.

1st hello: In the "Bing Bu" position (feet together, arms along the body), move the right leg forward by placing just the tip of the foot in front of you, raise your right fist in a hook, at the level of the plexus and l 'you cover your right fist with your left hand. The latter can be open and straight (as in the video) or the fingers can rest on the back of the fist to completely cover the right fist. Finally, you bow slightly while looking at the person in front of you before getting up, lowering your arms to your sides and bringing your right foot together with your left foot.

2nd hello: We find ourselves again in the "Bing Bu" position, we spread our arms to the side, we raise them above ourselves so that the hands join and come down to the level of the plexus. Then we bow slightly as the first greeting while looking at the person in front of you. Finally, we get up and the hands go down to the side of the body.

Exercise signal

During the technical work practiced in traditional Kung Fu, each exercise begins and ends in the same way.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

Before starting the exercise, the students wait with their feet together in the "Bing Bu" position. The teacher asks the students to prepare for the "Yu Bei" signal. Students slap their hands, fists at hip level, and leg spread, shoulder width apart.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

At the signal "Kai Chi" (start), the students start the exercise.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

The exercise either stops when the technique has been completed or when instructed by the teacher "Ting Chi" (stop).

In both cases, the students slap their hands as a start and return to the joint "Bing Bu" position.

Traditionally, these codes apply in schools in Shaolin where the teacher can have in front of him a hundred disciples. Thus, the master knows, without looking at his disciples, whether they are ready to start the technical work.
