Great instruction. I know this version and two more so I hope you can demonstrate all 5 versions if that's something you can reveal? Thanks for posting these treasures.
@@garethsmith8672 I know this foundational version and I know two other versions. The second version is where you stand in a crane stance with fists guarding like you've performed the crane tests water move. Then you drop to a low snake stance and elongate the body downward. Then you explode back up into the various fists like the first form. The 3rd version is like the last one but you use crane's beaks as you stand in the crane stance. You drop down like before but then the fists are actually palms and crane's beaks for the strikes.
@@heruka369 Those are versions of versions, which are still acceptable. I am wondering how to canonize the versions for my channel to keep them from getting flowery. I am all about form to function for me. You could come to my training hall, do a live podcast with me, and we could work them out together. Subscribers would love it. 👍🏻 We could also work on your Big Gum Gong, clean it up, and I could show you the hidden footwork behind it, while on a live podcast. Interested?😀
@@heruka369 ok. You have helped me decide which approach to make with the presentation of the different styles. I will stick with a strictly gum gong approach to the instruction, using only the six fists, save for the flying crane style. Thank you.👍🏻
@garethsmith8672 Yes I'm still active, and I am glad that I have this opportunity to thank you for hard work, I became a better student by your example.thanks Garrett. Ted
Beautiful i have that issue of inside kung fu with Dr Long it took me years to find a nice copy on ebay. I never heard of that as being rams head but it makes sense. It tempts them to hit it down and then comes the torpedo I love it many Thanks Dr. Smith
@@mariosilva2895 Thanks, Mario. Knees are stronger. If I could only find some good training shoes. 😄 I have been doing 150 kicks per day for the last month. Big gains.👍🏻
That was me at 15 years old in 1982 at our White Crane school Daoist Martial Arts in Vallejo. Our Sifus John Cole and Ron Dong wanted to get together for a friendly conpetiton of forms and sparring that day. Thanks for the video.
This concludes the long form presentation of the complete set of Lohan, Chi Hsing, Chit Yap Bo, also know as the Lohan, Seven Star, In and Out Set, which is the oldest training set of the Tibetan martial training compact. We initially covered the correct execution of the 'Six Strengths'- charge fist (gin choi), uppercut (pow choi), overhand fist (cup choi), fist hook (chow choi), sledgehammer (den choi), and crane claw hand (hok jow sau). We then covered Charge Section, Uppercut Section, Overhand Section, and Fist Hook Section of Lohan Chit Yap Bo. Where do we go from here? That is up to you, the subscriber. What do you have questions about or is there anything else you would like to see? That is up to you. I await your feedback and we will see, together, where we go from here. Thus concludes our initial introduction of the beginning steps in an understanding of Tibetan gum gong training. Thank you for your time and viewership. I look forward to your input.
@@moepanetta9028 Watch my video Iron Palm and Burning Palm on my channel. Every video on my channel is in order to teach a progression in training. Everything I mention on my videos has already been explained. My videos are for study and training. Consider them a library. It is up to you to dig. I am not going to continually repeat myself.
@@garethsmith8672 thank you for the reply Gareth, I was meaning to ask you, I have carlo tonti,s book on tibetan white crane, do you know who carlo tonti is? And his instructor cheung kwok wah? Just curious. P.s your videos are awesome.
@@moepanetta9028 Hi Moe. Thank you for the compliment. I am aware of Carlo Tonti. He is from Italy. I don't know him personally. I am aware of his teacher, who lives in Hong Kong. I don't know him either. I have never had any connection to Pac Hok Pai.
@@garethsmith8672 thank you for the reply, pak hok pai is infact tibetan white crane kung fu, I pretty sure it is from the fujian dialect translation, however I could be wrong, I'll have to look it up 👆, I'll get back to you.
Awesome! Thanks for the insight. Could you maybe at some time talk about how you see the application of each move? Just get your insight on such a part of the forms.
I am trying to figure that out. Perhaps a separate video on what certain moves mean. You can also let me know which ones you have questions about. Cite the time in video and I will make a video of them. You can post your questions here. How does that sound? 👍🏻
Have you heard of 'boxer's fracture' of the third metacarpal bone of the hand most common to western style boxers? The first two metacarpals are the densest, most buttressed bones of the hand, which can be conditioned to take extreme punishment. The third and fourth metacarpals cannot. Appreciate your input. Thanks you.
