Bruce lee found out that chinese kunggu is useless in real fights...so he blended Taedwondo, karate, kick boxing, judo and formed Jeet kunedo. Thats what is written in his book
In Chinese arts, these are often described as either being the "Crane's Wings" and or "Serving Wine"... as seen in Drunken Kung Fu... Where as the hand shape looks like you are holding a cup of wine / tea. A lot of the power comes from the whipping motions. In Drunken style, its even more powerful than most... because its often launched from a "Full Body" whip, and or an actual "Forward Dive". In Drunken, your whole body remains extremely Relaxed and Fluid... to the point, when you choose to Attack.. the amount of Energy you can get from your full body whip... becomes Extremely Powerful / Lethal. The use of the three "Finger Tips" attack, is referred to as the "Cranes Beak". You use it like a beak, to Peck at specific small targets, like Pressure points, and the Eyes. Very similar to Snake or Mantis finger strike attacks. The same handshape, is also used to HOOK the attackers Arm, and redirect it away from you. And or as a means of temporarily Locking the attackers arm. You will especially see these methods, in arts like Mantis (interceptions, hooking, and locking... as well as striking). Palm Strikes, and Bent Wrist strikes, are especially good for Close ranges... where you do not have as much space / runway. When used with Explosive power (Fajin), at Masterclass levels of output... these techs can be very Damaging / Lethal. I once used a forearm deflection against an MMA fighters punch... and it almost broke his arm. I had only used about 10% on that Deflection. Within less than an hours time, the injury swelled up almost double in diameter... and he was in great pain, for many days to follow. For a beginner, the most simple first step, would be to just lean forwards into a wall... and rest most of your weight on your bent wrists, that are resting on the wall. Hold this position for a long period of time. The next step, would be to do something like Pushups... But rather than doing Full pushups, you can use the Knee-Cheat, to Reduce the amount of Body Mass weight, that your wrists will be supporting. You dont even have to do an actual pushup. You can just see how long you can hold all of your mass, on your bent wrists. The next step, is conditioning. You can hit a wall mounted Sandbag for this task, or a table mounted Iron Palm Bag. The canvas bag should be Packed tightly with Coarse Grain beach sand. You can either mount the bag to a solid concrete wall... or, make a very Study Iron Palm Table... and place the Iron Palm bag on top of it. The table should probably be about waist height. Maybe a little lower. When you strike downwards into it, you also are dropping all of your mass vertically downwards... adding to the impact forces. When Conditioning on the Sandbags... you want to get some Chinese Iron Fist Lineament... and rub a few drops into your fist / bones... both Before you start to hit.. and right After you have finished hitting the bag. It will eliminate any swelling, in less than 5 minutes of application. It will prevent injuries, drastically speed up healing, and will help create faster + superior conditioning Results (Denser Tissues + Denser Bones). You always want to be breathing Deeply and Non Stop, while conditioning. This will develop the proper Iron Body level Results. If you hold your breath, and or breath too shallow... your results will be Inferior. Proper breathing, will cause the body to develop much greater circulation channels. The tissues will slightly Expand, and fill with more oxygenated Blood. It becomes like a Hydraulic Shielding + Strengthening Effect. Liquids (like Blood) can not be Compressed... as such, a properly developed Iron Body, is very protective.. as well as able to deliver much more damaging Impacts.

Thank you for sharing. As you mentioned in details, I think Ko-Ken is a major hand-shape in traditional Chinese arts but it seems that is hard to strengthen enough to use in real fight… as we cans see in this video.

@@SakuraiCatshop You could say that about almost anything. For example... todays fighters only tend to fight with Gloves on, and have heavily Taped wrists... When these modern sportized fighters get into a REAL barefist situation, they tend to break their knuckles, and or even their Wrists... because they have never done proper bare fist conditioning. In fact I had met an MMA fighter, that got jumped by 3 dudes. He managed to scare away a few of them, and got one of them to the ground. He tried the "Ground and Pound" method that you see in the UFC / MMA schools. However... the UFC ring is made with Rubberized flooring, and the entire ring often has a springy suspension system (to reduce impact damages from falls / throws). When he tried to punch this dudes head... which was braced against solid concrete... and he lacked the protection of Shock Absorbing Gloves... ALL of his energy just got rebounded back into his own fist... and his Middle knuckle was driven about 1cm deep into his own fists. Its a permanent disfigurement, and looks quite awful. The thing is, he was lucky to have survived the event... because competent fighters would have all attacked at the same time.. and would never have ran off so easily. Anyway... I remember the first time that I tried to do pushups on my bare knuckles... and was in an incredible amount of pain and suffering... even for like 20 seconds worth of time. It took quite a lot of training, for my fists to gradually change into "Iron Fists". Of course, that was not the only thing that I worked hard to condition, either. I trained my fingers for finger strikes. And I even conditioned my Toes, so that I could used them to Stab with. Such as the time I was sparring a Kyokushin Karate instructor.. and I used the Toe-Stabbing kick to strike his inner thigh muscle. That caused him to partially buckle, and he was temporarily unable to move. As such, I was easily able to step in with a flurry of handstrikes.. well before his nervous system was back to normal. He stopped sparring, asked me what the tech was called... and was so impressed at our session, that he wanted me to teach his students, the things that I learned + mastered. Additionally, I also did some pretty hardcore Iron Body conditioning (Basically, hitting every part of yourself, for one hour long sessions). For example.. one of my Demos.. is to chop my own throat, about 7 times in a row... as fast and hard as possible. I do not choke, nor is there any bruising from it. It totally freaks everyone out... including the MMA fighters! heh But even just my Fist training, was pretty intense. Typically 1 hour long session, hitting the wall mounted sandbag. And let me tell you... that hitting a sandbag (with your bare fists) that doesnt move... is very different than hitting a soft kick bag, that easily moves around... and while wearing some form of gloves + tape. Soft bags are good for developing penetration strength... but not for much more than that (Most sport fighters get their actual conditioning, from hitting each other... Not from the heavy bag work). I will add.. that you should never underestimate the strength and power of the wrist bone. Its a lot stronger than most peoples knuckles... as its quite a large + thick bone. Of course, when you are speaking about high impact power... its far less about what you are hitting with... and far more about Short-Range / Explosive Power. (Masterclass / Lethal level output potentials) Many Wing Chun practitioners, for example... have "OK" power with strikes that are 12 inches or longer, in Travel distances. But what if you are very close, and only have 3 inches of available Runway? Many of these guys have virtually no power at all... from 6 inches or less, of runway. Not because of the Arts methods... but because they simply never train themselves to reach that level of Mastery / Potentials. I did... but Im one of the very rare few on this Earth, that puts in the kind of Time, and Hardcore Training Efforts... that can eventually get you to such results. Thanks for your comment. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Best Regards

@@lucasrinaldi9909 The Chinese are known for watching Animals and Insects fight... and modeling some of their movements after them. They also tend to be a little "Poetic" at times. I used to think such things were foolish, and could not work, in high speed combat. Then I ran into a dude that knew about 7 different arts.. with most of them being Chinese arts. He mopped the completely Floor with me, for about 45 minutes straight. The most I got on him, were like 2 "Grazed". He was on a whole other level, compared to Anyone I have ever fought... and I have sparred a LOT of different artists, from all different arts. I was no joke either. I used to be nearly untouchable to the local blackbelt fighters. My Wing Chun skills were developed to Masterclass levels... and FAR surpassed their Sportized methods. But this time.. against this dude? I was on the other side of the Fence. He knew almost everything I did... and a LOT more. He could go from modern JKD / Wing Chun.. into deep horse stances from Shaolin Longfist, create a trap or distract you for a split second... and get a Chi-Na grapple on you.. and finish you off with a powerful sweep+throw... while you were about to escape his partial Lock on your wrist. All fluidly, and brutally... and everything worked flawlessly.... to my pure amazement. Even the things that looked like they were only for "Show" or "Artistic" reasons... were 100% Functional.. and downright Scary. Of course, he was also a Masterclass Level (flawless techniques + lethal levels of output potentials)... unlike the Majority of artists, in these modern times. And that really is the main difference between why something doesnt work... and something that DOES work. Things fail pretty quickly and easily... when you have not fully mastered them. If you had only cooked as a burger flipper, and at most, only made a few complex meals at your home... you would never be able to compete against someone like Gordon Ramsay, in one of his top restaurants. You would be making all sorts of mistakes... from Little, to Large. And even if your cooking was pretty On-Point.. he would still whoop you in pure Experience. Realize that the Chinese were no Joke. They used to start training as young as 3yrs old, and they trained over 8hrs every single day of their lives. They reached full mastery, and were complete BEASTS, by the time they were like 18. They put their best minds, to the task of developing new combat and training methods. And they tested the stuff, on Live Animals.. Live Prisoners... and in countless real Lethal fights (and wars). They would also test their Art, against other arts.. regularly. The losing arts methods, either created new Counters... or, they adopted the winning arts methods. This development, testing, and fighting... went on for a solid +2000 years... until Mao and his Commies, over-ran any of these fighters, by using massive swarms of armed troops to attack them with. That was also likely about the time where Firearms, drastically changed the Value of hand to hand combat. Over 70 million Chinese lives were destroyed / ended, in Mao's violent takeover process. A lot of the high technology from the arts, were lost. And even more potentially were lost... when Mao put a ban for over 60 years, on any practice of any combat art. Though, many of the Chinese citizens risked their lives.. and taught privately, in secret... to keep their arts Alive. You and your Generation, are way too easily Influenced by the "Elite's" Psyop programming methods (they dont want the Lemming Slave-Class, to be effective in highest level combat methods). And you make FAR to many IGNORANT ASSUMPTIONS, without having a SHRED of knowledge nor experience, with the things that you "Mock". But me? I went out there, and politely asked for these various artists to "Show Me". And after a little convincing that I was not Malicious... they agreed. I learned the hard way, about how Little I really knew, about the combat arts... and it elevated me to a whole other level of knowledge, and eventually, in a whole other level of Capabilities.
