This training manual is an introduction to the Forest Dragon Exercises, an approach to training in Pai Lum Kung Fu. The Forest Dragon Exercises is a system of exercises specifically designed to promote health and well-being without requiring a large time commitment. It includes an introduction to breathing and meditation, stretching exercises based on yoga, and the first of five forms, or movement exercises, intended to introduce the student to techniques of self-defense used in Pai Lum Kung Fu. Many of the techniques are taken directly from the traditional sets we train. The Forest Dragon Exercises represent five phases of development in the lower levels of Pai Lum. The first of these phases is presented in this book.
