10 forms translations

My teacher's dont always know the translations for the forms, so i went looking on my own. Here's what i have found for translations of the 10 jing woo forms. The list of names is in mandarin, though i think most of us learn them in cantonese (in brackets). The translations are not the final word or anything, its just what i could find from various sources on the web. If anyone has any teacher input to provide (first or second hand), its more than welcome.

In general, Quan or Kuen can be translated as either Fist or Boxing, though the meaning is generally used as "set of movements" or "Form".


Tan Tui (Tum Toy, Tam Toy)- Tan's legs, Tan's kicks, springing legs

Gong Li Quan (Kune Lek Kuen) - Work-strength fist, martial power fist, power training fist, strength boxing

Jie Quan (Jeet Kuen) - section boxing, weaving fist, quick fist form, connecting fist, intercepting boxing

Da Zhan (Dai ? )- big battle fist

Qun Yang Gun, Hu Pua Qun Yang Gun (? ? ? Gwun)- shepherd's staff, sheep flocking pole, shepherding staff, tiger striking sheep flocks staff

Wu Hu Qiang/Qing (Ng Fu Cheong) - 5 Tiger Spear

Ba Gua Dao (Baag Gwaa Do) - 8 trigram sabre

Tao Quan - combination fighting set (2 person form)

Jie Tan Tui - Tan Tui sparring

Dan Dao Chuan Qiang - sabre vs spear


Again, these are only what i could find on the web, but maybe they are helpful. Here's the names of some of the other forms i know of. (not in the 10)

Chang Quan (Chun Kuen)- Long Fist

Beng Bu Quan (Bung Bo Kuen)- crushing step boxing, Burst stepping boxing, crush step, advancing step
