Advanced Form
Yee Long KuenGod Fist
A traditional empty-hand routine in Northern Shaolin Eagle Claw (Ying Jow Pai), also translated Er Lang Quan or the 3-Eye God Fist Form. Yee Long Kuen trains long-range power, fast direction changes, and the striking combinations behind the style’s self-defense material.
About the form
Yee Long Kuen, the God Fist, is a traditional empty-hand routine incorporated into Northern Shaolin Eagle Claw (Ying Jow Pai) curricula, also translated Er Lang Quan or the 3-Eye God Fist Form. It is one of the longer empty-hand sets in the system, mixing extended strikes with quick changes of direction, so the stance work from the earlier ranks has to hold up under speed.
At Shadow Fist, Yee Long Kuen is taught in class under your instructor’s guidance and supported by the training video below for practice at home. Work the form slowly until the sequence is clear, then add speed without losing the structure.
- Focus: Northern footwork, continuous shifting, and hand-body sync
- Type: Empty-hand routine (auxiliary set)
- Style: Northern Shaolin Eagle Claw (Ying Jow Pai)
- Taught: In class, with a video for home practice

What the form teaches
The 3-Eye God Fist
Deity-inspired motifs and character
Named after the Chinese folk hero and three-eyed deity Erlang, the form instills alertness, sharp focus, and wide-angle observation, symbolized by the mythological third eye.
Long River Style roots
The routine originates structurally from the Long River Style (Cheung Gong Pai) of Hebei Province.
Transition and subsidiary skills
In Eagle Claw systems it serves as an auxiliary set, building coordination alongside foundational classics such as Tan Tui, Kung Lek Kuen (Power Fist), and Jeet Kuen.
Body dynamics
It emphasizes traditional northern Chinese footwork, continuous shifting, and fluent hand-to-body synchronization, distinct from yet complementary to Eagle Claw’s core joint-locking (chin na) and clawing methods.
