Kung Fu Myth Buster: Chinese Grappling Part 2: Chinese War Wrestling!! 

I love this sifus style. He's fast and smooth yet slow enough to understand. These videos don't go into extreme detail but that's the point. They're just videos, it's up to us and our teachers to delve into each technique.

I practice a Filipino Kuntao system which, as the name suggests, has roots in Chinese martial arts. A lot of what we practice is similar to the techniques I've seen on this channel. There are some differences in the way they blended with indigenous fighting methods. Still, it's really cool to think about the history of sinification in Southeast Asia. I like to think some Shaolin master found himself in the Philippines and began trading ideas with local warriors. :)

great video, it's good to see Chinese grappling used in a 'live' situation, I practice Hung Kuen kung fu and there is a heavy emphasis on sparring, it's a whole different world fighting a resisting opponent.

HEMA has alot of grappling technique but the humam body can only be moved so many ways so many martial arts have many similarities

I love your demo videos like these ones. Would love to see more.

You to be an EXCELLENT teacher, I love the emphasis on real time practice! I'm now a subscriber! 😊👍

Would still love to see you do some sparring. the demo is nice though.

Great vid sifu thank you blessings gonna train it hard!

Just remember everyone: he BLOCKED the knee before he scooped it. That's important, because if you try and scoop a clinch knee and don't block it, it's going to hit your head anyway and you're gonna have a bad time.

Good stuff. Functional, practical, efficient. I was raised training western boxing since age four til my thirties and grappling since age six til adulthood. I thought gung fu was impotent because ever since the Maoist communist revolution in China murdered all martial arts masters and replaced it with sport wushu. But in the 90s I met sifu Keith Fain and wanted to touch hands, spar, with him and see if he could stop my boxing combos and grappling takedowns. He was incredible. I couldn't touch him. Then I was graded by sifu Emin Boztepe and part of our grading we had to fight him, full contact, and really try to hurt him but he rag dolled me and threw me down repeatedly. In the military, in full contact challenges, I'd been undefeated and had a reputation among my military peers for being a dominant fighter and was successful in defeating collegiate folk wrestlers, college wrestlers, TMA black belts, golden gloves. I was invited to teach hand to hand combat to 5th Group members. I boxed competitively in the Army and did well. So I believed myself to be an apex predator in unarmed combat. But Emin Boztepe sifu as well as Keith Fain sifu of AWTO just ragdolled me. . . It was very humbling, frustrating and impressive. I've never again met nor seen another gunfu sifu that convinced me they could handle a western boxer & submission grappler like myself. Your video demonstrations make me suspect that you may be another extraordinary gunfu sifu that can apply your training in real world self defense. Haters will hate but real recognizes real. I would've remained at student of sifu Fain and sifu Boztepe but my military career kept me away, then I went to a private CCA penitentiary (gladiator school) where the training with sifu Fain & sifu Boztepe helped me alot against much bigger predators in extreme close quarters inside prison cells. On the rec yard, in open spaces, my western boxing & judo helped me. But in extreme close quarters inside a prison cell the Boztepe Wing Tsun & Latosa Escrima training served me better. Different methods for different terrain.

How do you do these two man drills in training? Is anything pre-arranged or is it completely spontaneous? I'm used to the Tae Kwon Do/Karate one punch attacks but I see that this is much better. I'm just trying to figure out how to incorporate them in training

Great video.. I would like to ask the sifu: What is the diffrence between shwaijo and chin na? Is there any elements of the above in hongqueen (hongar) style?

Where are you located if you don't mind my asking? I wish I could find such a school around me. I'm gonna have to move if I want to ever be around real martial artists.

That last move when he reversed and you countered was awesome! That's the kind of thing I like to see. To see the technique countered by the opponent and then watching you defend it again. Very practical 🔥

Ooooh off the elbow he’s in perfect position to hit the marching kick sweep on his front leg. Kao / Shoulder bump works too 🤕 😂

💪💪💪

👍🏽

too much brute force for kung fu but kindof cool. i never knew about. the hook

Similar to Kung Fu Dog Style

Last time I did real time practice I got my ass kicked.
