Laojia Erlu
The Laojia Erlu/Paocui (Cannon Fist) is the second routine. This form is more explosive and is usually performed quickly with bursts of fajing, or explosive energy. The student must have developed an understanding of the principles of internal energy before learning the Cannon Fist. The Laojia Yilu is the basis upon which the Laojia Erlu is built. Without this foundation, the form will be performed as an external art without the characteristics of Taijiquan.
