This is an introduction to the Yin Style Lion System. The Lion System has 8 attacks: Sweeping, Smashing, Chopping, Hooking, Shocking, Blocking, Seizing, and Grasping. Each of these attacks has 7 circle walking forms. The Lion system has 56 forms total with the standard posture: “Lion Opens its mouth”.

The Lions footwork is the rolling step (rolling wheel) which is used to control opponents’ legs and its kicks (9) are stomping kicks (stomp upon meeting) by nature. The Lion system can be seen as its own martial arts system.
