Sifu Ronan Sexton performing a pattern from the Four Gates" set called "Black Tiger Steaks Heart"

“Cross-Roads at Four Gates” or “Sap Tze Seai Moon Khuen” in Chinese (Cantonese) is a marvelous set. It is as simple in its demonstration as it is profound in its application. It was the fundamental set at the southern Shaolin Temple. Its applications were painted as secrets hidden in the open on the temple murals.

The picture series here shows the set demonstrated by Sifu Ronan Sexton. A video presentation can be found here.
