Lian Bu Quan (連步拳, liánbù quán) means “Continuous Stepping Sequence.” It is the first and most fundamental Northern Shaolin Long Fist form and was trained in the Jingwu Association. This form is usually taught as an introduction to footwork and postures, particularly strategies for advancing and withdrawing in long-range fighting. Stability and fluency in stances is essential prior to learning this sequence.
