About this rank
Lin Kuen, the Connecting Fist, is considered the mother of Eagle Claw. The form runs 50 rows, and this rank covers the first 10. Its emphasis is clawing techniques, handwork, and low stances rather than kicks: the hands stay busy while the stance stays rooted and heavy.
At Shadow Fist, the form is taught step by step in class under your instructor's guidance, then refined at home with the training video below. The second video adds simple locks (chin na) 11-20, trained with a partner. Consistent practice between classes is what makes the material stick.
