Dear Mike,

Please check some previous discussion or
http://groups.google.com/group/whitecrane/browse_frm/thread/a7ac4605b44dc5e6/87ae7ca4a2f0c18c#87ae7ca4a2f0c18c
to see my thinking on it.

There are no such thing as three battels/warrings in white crane
practice. In white crane theorem, we talk about 3 external coordination
and 3 internal coordination. 3 external coordination means that hand
matches with foot, elbow matches with knee, and shoulder matches with
pelvis (i.e. limbs are coordinated in relative position. They have to.)
3 internal coordination means that Intent matches with Mind, Qi matches
with Intent, and Force matches with Qi.

There are other 3s, but 3 is used only for the reason of describing
things conveniently and it seems working ok.

" Dear sir/madam

I have been searching for years and wonder if you could help me. My
late master taught me a variation of the form saam chien (san jan). Do
you know any of the theory of why they are called the three
battels/warrings. I am keen to learn the theory side of this form in
depth but i am struggling to find the information. The main aspects
that i need to know are why is everything done inthrees, what are the
meaning of the hand movements etc.

Please help.

Best regards,
