I would say to straighten your back, move your knees forward over your feet and at the same time move your back backwards. That neutralizes the hips automatically. You can feel them release. One other thing, some people are more comfortable with their feet pointed outwards. This is because of the way their hips and femur are formed. To understand this just check the mobility of turning the hips inward in a seated position.

Completely right. I always tell people that foot position is dependent on their hips and it's ok to turn out a little if it is more comfortable. There is a limit though; too far out and you lose some of that stability, especially with lateral movements, where you want the edge of the foot to dig into the ground like a spade. It's worth noting that even if you squat feet out, since it's rare to need to go that low in use of ma bu, you should be able to pull them in a little closer. I always advocate posture and application over forcing depth in your stance.

I would say it depends on the person. It’s that way with every skill in the world from cooking to carpentry to martial arts. For me, boxing is useless. I tried it and nothing clicked with me, but when I tried Chinese Kenpo, it fit like a velvet glove, and I stayed with that for 15 years. A good friend of mine was the opposite. Boxing was his thing.

Correction ... Bruce Lee never said Traditional martial arts weren't effective .... he said using one style and being stuck in it was not effective. In the Tao he still firmly stands behind Tai Chi ... you can see him use Chow Gar and the trapping and centreline concepts of wing chun .... the conditioning and fluid motion and philosophy of old school martial arts was always still there. Asked the guys who trained with him the most or watch old interviews of the guys he showed the most. He still kept a lot of old traditional concepts and conditioning to himself. This is what gave him the edge over everyone.

You did Thai clinch wrong. It will not able to pull down anyone down. Your grip will break first. The mechanics of be able to pull your opponents is not power or weight the whole body down. All variation of Thai grips were designed to coerce your opponent to move certain direction by pain.
@KungFit
@KungFit Ай бұрын
Optimal position would be on the back of the head, for better leverage, but you can't always get that position. This shows that even with a weaker position you can break their posture. Done with a full close in grip, it would be harder to pull off. It's a tool to add to the kit, not an either or thing

Jo San Guys! Loved all the different style coverage of arts residing in H.Kong. But maybe catch Ying Jow - 'eagle[ claw' - on next deep dive. There it was imported in the 30s by the head of jing mo association Chan Tze Ching & Lau fat Mon. From Hong Kong it spread to much of the world where i got it from Shum Leung in NYC. Lots of Ying jow in hk cinema too! I lived in H.kong 88-92 & worked on 3 dozen or so action films there in that time frame including 4 or 5 with old pal & colleague Mark Houghton....my k.f training was key to working steady there in hongkong and elsehere over there.... now im working on a book about an iron fan fighting style from Taiwan thats probably dead by now. Like you guys i hope t o save 'ch i hsuan Men' from oblivion.... i hope our paths cross one day...until then, keep up the great work! I love all that you do!

One reason you see no sparring when you see demonstrations and interviews like these is that sparring is not a good way to show the principles and foundations of a style. It's too messy. The other is practicalities of arranging students, a suitable venue etc. All that being said, I agree that sparring is super important for development as a martial artist who wants to fight. It is something some traditional schools lack, but not all.

44:45 that's true, also it seems like other Hung Gar grandmasters added their own little variations in the forms. If you notice, Lau Kar Leung, Gordon Liu, Chiu Chi Ling, Chiu Chi Wai, Chi Kuan Chung, the Lam family, they all perform the same taolus with their own little alterations despite being from the same Lam Sai Wing lineage.

Should I tension the lower abs and push pelvis forward to be as straight as possible? Or abs relaxed?
@KungFit
@KungFit 2 ай бұрын
You don't want to push the pelvis forward, this reduces hip mobility in this position. If you can't keep your back upright, stand a little higher in the stance. As you get stronger and more mobile, you will be able to get lower. I always say posture before depth when it comes to stances. You can keep the abs relatively relaxed, but obviously engaged enough to keep you upright!
