My Jong Law Horn
My Jhong Law Horn (mizong luohan) or Lost Track is a northern Shaolin style of kung fu based on deception and mobility. It is an external style, with distinct internal influences. In relation to other styles, My Jhong draws many aspects from the external northern Shaolin long-fist style, and the internal styles Tai Chi Chuan and Pakua Chuan, which are often taught alongside it in modern times.
The emphasis on flexibility in northern Shaolin styles is the guiding principle of My Jhong, and this is evident in the versatility of its attacks and the extent to which it integrates the concepts of many internal styles. An increased emphasis on mobility often comes at the price of power, but My Jhong attempts to compensate for this by providing a means for the dynamic generation of power. My Jhong's unique fa ching (discharging of force) comes from the combination of the internal corkscrew power of Chen-style Tai Chi and the external snapping power of Shaolin long fist. The result is an efficient production of force through the dynamic motion of multiple elements of the body, the mastery of which gives a My Jhong practitioner the capability of generating force quickly and flexibly from any distance.
