Golden Tiger Kung Fu - Kata & Fighting Application 

Yes, I agree! :)

It could also be a natural ability.

Interesting question I want to know that too

MillionairePhil I certainly have found a good teacher! I'm looking into learning from Master Joe Sayah, who has worked with Jackie Chan and Jet Li in multiple movies. Why wouldn't you recommend Mr. Mace?

MillionairePhil Hi, I just wanted to know why you wouldn´t recommend Mace as a teacher, Im new at this so want all information I can get. Best regards

Ludvig Svensson He´s probable a decent personal trainer but he´s gong fu is not what he says it is. You might want to read this: 18chambers.blogspot.fi/2013/08/fading-smoke-broken-mirrors-open-letter.html Basicly, he´s knowingly passing off fraudulent styles as authentic gong fu. That´s not very fair to his students who think they´re learning real gong fu.

Declan Jack If i were you, I would tried to do Kung Fu and Taekwondo cause one art it's good you had a way, but with two arts, you had more than one way you know there are a lot of doors that opens to you. I practice Karate, Aikido and Kyusho and I had a lot of ways to discover. :D

I agree with your friend. Boxing is effective and easy. It's straight to the point. I also wrestled in high school and college what I also learn from my experience is all about foundation , basics, and angles. That's what boxing is . That's what wrestling and tai chi is. Basics and angles.

OK thanks

he say praying mantis

i thought his fav.move is praying fan

We dont follow them we were inspired by them

Christian Williams its easy for people who have double jointed fingers or hands

Oh really. Could you post me the link of any other master teaching the exact same style as shown here, then?

***** you can look it up

christinbichle le I have. He´s the only one who does this modified shaolin-do he´s trying to pass off as chinese gong fu. I´m sorry to say he doesn´t teach real gong fu. His finger push ups are impressive, though.

***** i meant on youtube i saw different type of martial art

christinbichle le Sure you did, now run along.

+Jim Mahan I'm 20 years old and neither I can do that thing

Agreed

Nice!

Hey , can you do taekwondo ?

What about me am first

san5324 That's exactly what I said gongfu means. Maybe not in those words, but I think the concept is intact. I've never heard Jake claim to be a master of anything. If you would kindly direct me to one of his videos wherein he does, I might rethink my position. What I have heard is him claim that he needs improvement in this or that, or that he himself is still learning, or that he knows that there are people that are better than him. What I find quite funny is that there are people like you who go around the internet saying Jake is an egotistical prick, only to be demonstrating a form of narcissism yourselves. Now I don't know Jake in the real world; I've never been to one of his classes. But through his videos I can see that he does everything he can to better himself, build people up, help people improve their lives, and affect the environment in a positive way. So he's the proverbial Jack (Jake?) of all trades, master of none. Big deal. Could he still kick your ass in a fight? I'd love to find out.

san5324 So we've gone from saying Jake doesn't teach real kung fu to saying Jake's kung fu isn't very good. And that's fine. That's a different conversation, and a much longer one at that. Hopefully for now we can agree to disagree. However, those at whom my original comment was aimed would insult and defame Jake's character based off of some quasi-religious fetish with masters and lineages. I'm sorry, but that's messed up. This is more of a side note at this point, but it seems to me that saying, "one day you will be a master too" is a far cry from proclaiming, "I am Jake Mace, he who perfects ten thousand forms." I know I'm exaggerating, but hopefully you catch my meaning. I think encouraging people to practice was his intent, not claiming authority as a kung fu Master. Maybe I'm wrong, but that was my interpretation. I wouldn't claim to be an expert in kung fu. I'm just a guy who likes martial arts and Chinese culture. But I wouldn't say that I "have no idea whatsoever." I do my research. I try to keep an honest, open, yet critical mind. Jake's style is definitely different than the kind found in old videos of Chinese grandmasters. It is modernized and geared towards practicality, rather than traditional and focused on precise movement. It is also an eclectic style, clearly borrowing from Western and Japanese fighting styles while favoring kung fu overall. I think Jake is trying to follow in the spirit of Bruce Lee, who wanted his martial art to be a kind of expression of the self, but also able to adapt to the situation and the times.

Brandon Dorris Jake Mace is all over the place with his own made up kung fu and is not applicable in no fight. McDonalds Kung Fu.

san5324 I guess that goes back to whether a martial art needs a formal history in order to be genuine. I appreciate the traditional perspective very much, don't get me wrong; but in my opinion, even the most ancient style once started from scratch. I appreciate your dialogue, but I've spent more time in the RU-vid comment section the past few days than I ever intended to, and it feels like we're back to the beginning at the moment. So for now, fare well.

Brandon Dorris It's not Chinese Kung Fu as he claims. It's more of a hybrid of Karate/Tae Kwon Do mixed with a little bit of horrible kung fu. When he claims that he is a "Kung Fu Warrior," and that he teaches Chinese Kung Fu is what gets to me. I think he's definitely a fitness guru, but not a Chinese Kung Fu warrior for sure.
