Dwai Gun Do

YellowHatGuy — Sun, 24 May 2026 07:35:00 GMT

YellowHatGuy moved page Dwai Gun Do to Dui Kwan Dao A better translation was obtained.

New page

This form's name is believed to be '''Dui Kwan Dao''' (對群道, "The [[Dō|Way]] of Facing Multiple Opponents"); the actual name, and its translation were never completely passed down, as this was always referred to as “the '''Shaolin Kung-Fu Kata''',” or as “'''Shaolin One'''” in the the [[Goshin-Jutsu]] schools which tought multiple kung-fu forms. This form was introduced to [[Goshin-Jutsu]] by Bill Burns, a Chinese Kempō instructor who was a friend and collaborator to Grandmaster Durant. This [[Kata|kata]] is reserved for [[Advanced students|advanced students]] because of its difficulty -- this form is the ultimate expression of fluidity, which must be performed as a single, continuous motion without ''any'' stops or pauses at ''any'' point.

[video of Dwai Gun Do, performed fast and slow, viewed from cameras at #1, 3, 7, 5. Be sure that you take up the whole frame. A lot of our old kata videos are from too far away, and it hides some detail. ]

==Notes==
Again, unlike other kata, this form must be performed as a single, continuous motion without ''any'' stops or pauses at ''any'' point.

To perform the supported [[Ridgehand block|ridgehand block]] from Movement 15, push on your right forearm with your left hand to reinforce the block.

==Bunkai==
This [[Kata|kata]] has a complex and grandiose opening (Movement 1), which serves as a sanity check. If a student is unable to perform this series with perfect fluidity, then they need to focus on training their fluidity before they can continue; anything else will only lead to tears of frustration, for both the student and the teacher.

An opponent attacks from #1, with a right [[Pursuit punch|pursuit punch]] or [[Haymaker|haymaker]]. You block this simultaneously and deliver a painful [[Hook punch|hook punch]] to their [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulnar_nerve ulnar nerve], on the inside of their upper arm, in the grove between in their bicep and triceps (Movement 2). Grabbing their wrist (Movement 3), you pull on their arm to off-balance them as you deliver a [[Hook punch|hook punch]] to their [[Kyūsho#Temples|temple]] or the [[Kyūsho#Side_of_the_jaw|side of their jaw]] (Movement 4). Perform a right [[Naifu-kinniku|naifu-kinniku]] (Movement 5), simply because you should not perform more than three offensive moves in a row without evaluating your defense and stancework; people tend to get carried away while attacking, and this inadvertently creates the openings which lead to their downfall. Once you are certain that you are solid, reach your left hand behind your dazed opponent’s head, and pull them down and to the left, to get them out of the way, and smashing their [[Kyūsho#Temples|temple]] into your knee for good measure (Movement 6).

A new opponent attacks from #7, with a right [[Haymaker|haymaker]]. You simultaneously throw your left arm up to jam their technique and shield their head, while striking the right [[Kyūsho#Side_of_the_neck|side of their neck]] with a variation of a [[Ridgehand strike|ridgehand strike]] as an [[Atemi|atemi]] to setup a [[Front kick|front kick]] to their [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]] (Movement 7). As the opponent reflexively leans forward in pain, you capitalize on their momentum to augment a [[Backfist strike|backfist strike]] to the [[Kyūsho#Bridge_of_the_nose|bridge of their nose]] (Movement 8), stunning them long enough to break their [[Kyūsho#Side_of_the_neck|neck]] with a [[Tate-shutō_uchi|tate-shutō]] (Movement 9).

Another opponent rushes in from #5, and grabs your right wrist, preventing your coup-de-grâce. You move towards the new opponent to gain leverage, and raise your hands overhead (Movement 10), before performing a [[Scooping block|scooping block]] to #5, as your right hand will exploit the [[Reciprocal action|reciprocal action]] of your block to sheer their hand off of yours, for an unconventional wrist release (Movement 11). Seizing opportunity, grab the opponent’s [[Kyūsho#Groin|testicles]]. The opponent tries to lash out with a left punch, which you deflect and counter with a simultaneous left pressing block and a right [[Uraken uchi|uraken uchi]] (Movement 12).

Another attacker rushes in from #3. Making things worse, the attacker from #7 recuperates and rushes in, leaving you in the middle of their pincer. However, you stun both attackers by crushing one of their [[Kyūsho#Eyes|eyes]], and incapacitate the opponent at #7 with a [[Side kick|side kick]] to their [[Kyūsho#Solar_plexus|solar plexus]], [[Kyūsho#Abdomen|abdomen]], or [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]] (Movement 13). You turn to face the opponent at #3, and strike them in the [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]] with a [[Palmheel_strike#Downward_palmheel_strike|downward palmheel strike]] (Movement 14), which causes them to bend forward, into an [[Uraken uchi|uraken uchi]] to the [[Kyūsho#Philtrum|philtrum]] (Movement 15). To keep the unconscious opponent from collapsing on top of you, you shrug them off to the side with a [[Ridgehand block|ridgehand block]] (Movement 16).

The opponent at #5 recuperates, and attacks with a right [[Pursuit punch|pursuit punch]] or [[Haymaker|haymaker]], which you deflect with a [[Shutō_block#Rising_knife-hand_block|rising shutō block]] (Movement 17) and counter with a [[Side kick|side kick]] to their [[Kyūsho#Solar_plexus|solar plexus]], [[Kyūsho#Abdomen|abdomen]], or [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]], before finishing them off with a [[Tate-shutō_uchi|tate-shutō]] to the [[Kyūsho#Side_of_the_neck|side of their neck]] (Movement 18). To keep the unconscious opponent from collapsing on top of you, you drive in knock them back with a [[Tate tsuki|tate tsuki]] to the [[Kyūsho#Solar_plexus|solar plexus]] (Movement 19).

Another attacker approaches from #7 (or maybe the previous one has recuperated), and you assume a side-facing posture with a shutō guard, in anticipation (Movement 20). However, another opponent has appeared/recuperated and, is rushing in from #1. Quickly, you turn clockwise, with a [[Rear kick|rear kick]] to the [[Kyūsho#Abdomen|abdomen]] or [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]] of the opponent at #7, ideally crushing the [[Kyūsho#Bridge_of_the_nose|bridge of their nose]] with a simultaneous [[Kyūsho#Bridge_of_the_nose|downward hammerfist strike]] as the kick folds them in half like a pocketknife (Movement 21). Quickly assuming a stance, you deflect the incoming punch from #1 with a [[Pressing block#Downward_pressing_block|downward pressing block]], and immediately stunning the opponent at #1 with a [[Kakutō_uchi|kakutō uchi]] to the [[Kyūsho#Chin|chin]], buying the time you need to crumple them with a [[Reverse punch|reverse punch]] to their [[Kyūsho#Groin|groin]] (Movement 22). To keep the unconscious opponent from collapsing on top of you, you shrug them off to the side with a [[Chūdan uke|chūdan uke]] (Movement 23).

Having defeated all the opponents, the form ends (Movement 24).
