Description: Of the Drunkard kungfu forms, the most famous, besides the Drunken Eight Immortals Form, are the Drunken Monkey Form and the Drunken Monkey Pole Form. There are notable differences between the Drunken Monkey Form and the Drunken Eight Immortals form. The Drunken Eight Immortals Form imitates the movements of a ¡§drunken man¡¨; while the Drunken Monkey Form is a kungfu form presents the gestures of a ¡§drunken monkey¡¨. The movements develop into gestures of a drunken monkey in the middle section of the form when the performer simulates movements of a monkey having stolen draughts of wine. This book contains the description of Drunken Monkey Form and its applications.
