"'Chicken Form' holds an extremely important position within the 'Twelve Forms,' and indeed throughout the entire 'Xingyi Boxing.' Among the 'Three Body Formation,' there are 'Ten Major Stances,' of which the 'Floating Cloud Stance' forms the foundation of the 'Half-step Breaking Fist,' whereas the 'Chicken Step Stance' is the mother of the 'Twelve Forms'—"
"The Chicken Stance strikes like thunder, embodying the whole form."
"The 'Chicken Step Stance' is the mother of the 'Twelve Forms.' Without stance, there is no form, and in combat, everything relies on using stances. Any single form can originate from the 'Chicken Step Stance,' for instance, the 'Chicken Step Stance' can evolve into forms like Tiger Head Hugging, Tiger Pounce, Tiger Swinging Tail, Earth Scratching Wind, and many others."
