style also utilizes movements from animals and bird such as those
modeled on the monkey, eagle, crane and cat. While some style imitate
exterior attributes of the animals Tong Bei tries to capture the
essence of White Ape. Still, there is a resemblance because of the
extreme flexibility and loose arms often displayed by Tong Bei
practitioners. The significant concept of Tong Bei is to use the
arms as though they were really one arm connected through the
back. This expression of spine energy is absolutely crucial to
proper Tong Bei usage.
