"Key to Kung Fu" is a free club and research center that everybody is able to join for understanding and reinventing Kung Fu. At „Key to Kung Fu“ you will recieve the key that is essential for you to comprehend how to fight with not only the Praying Mantis Fist, but every other Kung Fu style, as well. In fact I am writing a book about "Form Theory" right at the moment. It´s a guide for learning the combative application of Kung Fu forms. If you have any questions or want to join „Key to Kung Fu“ yourself and train with us, feel free to send an e-mail to: keytokungfu1@proton.me
the reason why you don't see these methods in modern fighting is because they just don't work with real fighting. These are "demonstrations" that require static compliant cooperating participants. real fighting, real fighters do not cooperate are not static and thus attempts to actually use these methods would become a liability: exposure to striking, kicking, takedown, and grappling. about the ONLY benefit from learning these methods is to train the body for fast reaction behaviors...but those can be learned with more capable and effective combat fighting methods...like boxing, striking, ju jitsu, grappling, take down defense, etc. Kung Fu is a spectacle sport. no one can fight effectively using kung fu.
Say what you want to say about the 90% of Bs Kung fu that have been taught around the world giving it a bad reputation,but the real Kung fu is not only beneficial for fighting but most importantly your health.Look at how most fighters and peoples who only train hard styles end up in their older years,some can’t walk,talk or even remember what time of day it is because of brain damage,but a real Kung fu person that was properly trained will benefit form that training throughout his whole entire life.
This master has skills, but the only problem is that this is not a real fight. Did he ever fight that MMA guy? I want to see how his skills translate for a real fight, not just training.
@@JustbeNatural-fh3it Do you think that only dirty fighting techniques will allow you to defeat someone? So everyone on the street is dirty Plus with the use of bladed weapons and even firearms This master is fake And he will quickly be killed on the street
This takedown motion looks like a baguazhang and guiding quan posture Here's the posture in guiding quan at (0:03) 3 seconds ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dZDHf2frmhs.html
Yes the technique is quite similar but not equal. In the shaolin guiding quan, the technique is using a sweeping foot technique and also the hand contacts are different. From the posture below in drop stance (often named as tiger catching prey) you will most probably have contact to the opponents front arm, using both hands. When he avoids the throw by stepping back, you follow and apply the technique at 0:03. I assume that the hand contact is that you catch his front arm with your front hand, step forward (which means your front hand becomes your rear hand now) and using your free arm to go below his front arm to strike to his chest or head while sweeping his foot to make him fall. This applies a hard method, named "Pull and throw dividing in two (Shuai Luo Liang Fen-捽捋兩分)" in some mantis styles. The Technique that is showed in the shaolin routine is most comparable to the technique "七星 崩捶 QīXīng(Bu) BēngChuí - Seven star step, collapsing strike". it can be found for example in the routine LianHuanJinTao, which assembles mostly foot and leg techniques: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rittTqJFiII.htmlsi=fcE_TqZZFRzevaHq&t=22 at 0:22. So the main difference here is, that your stance is rigid (trip-up throw, push opponent over your front leg instead of sweeping) and the hand contact is controlling the opponents rear arm, using an arm bar to force him over your leg (instead of striking/pushing him with your forearm)
Nice! I practice and teach Kung Fu in the US. We use a three step method: 1. Hit, 2. If the opponent defends then progress your body position, 3. Knock your opponent off balance. Repeat as needed haha. I appreciate your work!
Hey yes we can do it. I did not see your comment. just write me under "keytokungfu1@proton.me" there we can exchange whatsapp stuff and other informations.
Very well done! Looks like Wing Chun or Mantis however in application most martial arts end up looking like each other especially in the realm of self defense.
Its because we avoid to use throws cause we had no glasses and were kind of blind under the helmets. Most movements in forms are throws. Watch our other videos. When you use punches and throws like in the forms its much more effective and looks different.
Except the first movement every technique in this form is a throw. But is not excecuted because the opponen (bold guy) is blocking the techniques until to the last technique. The last technique is showed excecuted fully in this clip.
