The second part of this answer makes 对拆 clear enough for me, although it would've been better if you'd translated the answer. My Chinese is not as good and I had to use google :-) Thank you for clarifying 工字 - now I'm surprised that I didn't understand it (there's for example 十字路口).

<p>There are different sequences of movements in martial arts (套路 - forms) all having their names. Some of these names are quite clear but some are hard to understand for me. For example a double hand form is called: </p>

<pre><code>工字伏虎拳對拆 (工字伏虎拳对拆)
</code></pre>

<p>This form name comes from 洪家拳 system which is well-known in southern China  (Guangdong province). So the names of forms are in Cantonese dialect. </p>

<p>The part of the name 伏虎拳 is clear for me but I can't find anywhere the meaning of 對拆. It should mean something like 'sparring set' or 'versus' but only 對 (对) can mean 'versus'.  Is 對拆 some kind of a regional Cantonese word? Also, an additional question: how could 工字 be translated (if it can)?</p>

<p>Also I wonder: can I write/say 對拆套路 by analogy to 武器套路 or 拳術套路 (拳术套路)?</p>

Quote:- "...can I write/say 對拆套路"

套路 means a set, (or in Japanese, "Kata"), of martial arts movements strung together in a continuous sequence for solo practice.

對拆 means a "breakdown" or a separation / dismantling of the constituent offensive / defensive parts of 套路 for practice with a partner or a demonstration of them by the teacher.

Therefore, no, it would be incorrect to write/say 對拆套路 if by 對拆套路 you mean 對拆 is practiced as or like a 套路. It would be a contradiction in terms.

對拆 also cannot be used as an adjective of 套路 because the two terms, as used in martial arts, are mutually exclusive.
