Pan Gai Noon is an art that is half hard and half soft. Not many people know where this art comes from, for the lineage has disappeared. The effects of this art, however, on the martial arts of the east, has been incredible.
There are three forms in Pan Gai Noon, and these are very speicifcally constructed. The names of these forms, in order, ar Snachin, then Seisan, then Sanseirui. Each of these forms has been designed with specific purposes in mind.
The first form is designed for power. The beginning student learns how to hold his stance and how to walk, and he learns three simple hand patterns. The secret of Pan Gai Noons first form is in these hand patterns.
A loose-tight thrusting of the hands makes up the first move. Twice in the form are these thrustings done, and it represents a hard intention. Still one does not have to lock the muscles so hard that one suffers whiplash, but rather can relax and still put the mind and soul into the movement.
A circular blocking movement comprises the second movement. This movement is begun from a double, palm upwards, middle block position. Circle one hand in and then thrust the fingers out on an angle.
The third movement is done towards the end of the form. You simple execute a pair of palm blocks, low and across the face. You then circle the hands in a vertical fashion, and slowly push (thrust) the palms forward.
Now, if you have done this form, especially in an older version that hasnt been changed into a breathing exercise or some such, then you understand what I have described here. What most people dont understand is the simple geometry of the thing. Most people dont understand that I have described a sphere with a line through it.
The secret of the three movements of Sanchin are that they make a sphere of energy out of your hands. This sphere is designed by the hand patterns, which make up a z axis, a y axis, and an x axis. This sphere can deflect and manipulate all incoming attacks, and offer a countering spear thrust of steel-like fingers.
This is the secret of the first form of Pan Gai Noon. This is the power that a student works on by doing the form endlessly. This is the power that will be translated into techniques on later forms.
