[@georgegarner5185]

I've had the privilege of studying under the keen eye of more than one Shaolin Temple Gung Fu Sifu's. After anywhere from 20 to 35 years of actually living the grueling and extremely self disciplined lifestyle, they are Sifu's. They are a very unique and tranquil individual. The sensory development is extremely focused and amazing...the only word that comes to mind. They are not seeking approval from the public. They don't have a need for the adulation of mere mortals. That's why they are rarely seen in public...at least not in the way of the Sifu. ☯️

[@georgegarner5185]

P.S. By the time you have realized that you picked a fight with a real deal Sifu...you done fucked up and "Landed on Mr Gilmore's Property "!!! Why? The only time a Sifu is going to go off on you is if he is defending himself or someone he loves ❤️. If you have crossed any one of those lines - your only bright spot is that it will be over in less than a second...two at the most !! 😉

[@itsallaroundyou7085]

I love how little laugh after every explanation. Seems like a very kind man still finding happiness in life and in his art. Don't get better than that.

[@Mastertodddoyle]

This is my system in the US. Five Ancestor Fist is very alive in the USA under the direction of the man who brought it to the US from Chee Kim Thong, John Graham Sr. He is based in Mobile, AL, and I am his Disciple based in Memphis, TN. It is always good to see another video of 5 Ancestors out there. Thank you for doing this film.

[@StevenRayW]

I'm a Bagua/White Crane practitioner based in Taiwan. Can't tell you how glad I am to see that the internal skills of 5 Ancestors are still alive and well in Malaysia. Most people misunderstand southern arts due to their seemingly rigid appearances and fail to realize that, at higher-levels, they can be just as internal as Taiji/Xingyi/Bagua. Even a large number of southern stylists themselves tend to focus on hard, external training without realizing that there are deeper internal components hidden within the very styles they practice.

[@chinkeanchong5070]

Yes five ancestors does contain it's own version of Bagua

[@SifuJasonChan]

Master Yap focus on internal soft art rather than hard style. I am glad to learn under him.

[@dannytong8993]

@@SifuJasonChan may i know where can i find him or an address? interested in learning this.

[@symbolsarenotreality4595]

indeed, I always thought of southern mantis as internal, like cutting and flicking energy versus holding and seizing energy at green belt, its the beginning of developing different qualities in the same techniques. I call them whip and stick energy respectively. A whip needs distance to create force and is relaxed and disperses energy across the surface, whereas a stick has power immediately as it doesn't collapse and doesn't need force already running through it to stretch it out into tension. Of course whip energy doesn't disrupt your opponents structure whereas stick energy will move them without need to wind up. Some people dont think its possible and its just so normal to me but when I demonstrate they are like wow it actually works. Of course it does. And its just more sophistated physics and moving into things science has not categorised or fully understood yet, like the fascia and the nervous system. Taich chi taught me how to hide my base of support and stretch tension on me, dispersing it through my fascia rather then letting the tension line go into my base of support, at the same time I feel my opponents tension lines from point of contact to base of support. Not that I am anywhere near as good as say Adam Mizner lol but it has served me well in 17 years of bouncing and hundreds of violent incidents. I dont even bother with people who dont believe in internal arts trying to explain it to them, I just demonstrate it. Ive also done mua thai, ju jitzu and they are great, good techniques but very simple arts, even jujiztu while it has a wide range of moves, and they do develop great grounding and balance and ability to relax and change but they dont learn how to generate force at zero distance by shaking the fascia with the diaphragm and they leave their tension lines down to base of support.

[@symbolsarenotreality4595]

same principles apply on ground your base of support just changes

[@lenwenzel7440]

Watching this master and hearing his gentle laughter is like medicine for the heart. What a wonderful teacher.

[@rickyhindmarsh5985]

I'm learning this with my Sifu in Ireland. He had practiced with Yap's father. This is perfect for me to find after a few years training to understand much I have forgotten but also the deeper connections he explains now make more sense than they would have. Peace and thanks :)

[@jasonsecretsword7606]

I could listen to this Sifu talk for hours. Love his history... would like to hear his version of the complete history of Martial Arts in China. Mind Blown on the white Crane thing... I figured it was the mother style and simplified into other systems like WC later. It makes sense that it was an amalgamation of several people (Hakka, Emei etc) and Family styles united into sharing through common cause. Thank you for sharing.

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

Jason Secretsword Thank you for your feedback.

[@bettybadass1581]

In response to White Crane - he was talking about "Southern" or "Yong CHun" or "Fujian" WHite Crane, which is very different and much newer than Northern Crane which is also called Tibetan Lama Pai and had a very obvious influence on Northern Longfist akaChangQuan aka Taizu - the Grand Ancestor style he refers to. Called Grand Ancestor because it is the oldest documented style of modern history. So in fact when you are dealing with the Tiger-Crane conundrum you are dealing with martial arts influences which are prehistoric in a very literal sense of the word.

[@TheDankbuds69]

I love Asian culture! This video is definitely educational!! Just really listen to what the instructor is actually teaching.

[@MrDioXIII]

Was exposed to this art from a Karate Documentary called Great Journey of Karate 3. Has a lot of commonality with the Okinawan styles of Karate/martial arts like Goju Ryu and Shuri-Te. It was a very interesting watch, and has definitely perked my interest in this art.

This is fascinating. Its soft and feels like nothing to defend against, yet at a point not in contact its strong energy and it sweeps you away with it. Incredible, and I wish we could see the energy movement with our limited eyes. Great video, thanks.

[@clivewells7090]

May have said this before but, still, WOW! Such clear instruction from a very competent, dextrous, and well spoken master. This is up there with your best videos in dealing with the internal, relaxed kung fu. And out of the 30 or so I've seen there's only a couple that I couldn't say ive found practical.

Thanks for the comment

[@danielidoine766]

This is a great series. I hope it gets a lot more recognition. Much appreciation for the respect you show the various masters and let them do all the talking.

[@johnnyb6049]

From the Master's description, and short demonstration of the various Ancestor Arts, it reminds me of a Method that was easily managing a Pak Mei group where I was living over 30 years ago. Two of my Senior students related a match up between what they, (my students), referred to as a "Family" Style that they also said the practitioner referred to as "Ancestor". My students were training and exchanging basic elements of our individual Methods, (Pak Mei, and ours), and they were impressed by the Ancestor Method. What I do find interesting was that the Master demonstrated what we refer to as "Joining" when he easily moved the interviewer . . .something that I definitely never expected to see from anyone outside our group. I often wondered what the Method they had described to me was but, as usual, Life got in the way and I had so many other things to focus on. Over 30 years later . . .well better late than never. Thanks for the post

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

According to the oral history of Southern Shaolin, Pak Mei and Wu Mei knew each other and were considered enemies. It is also said that Wu Mei could have been the one responsible for Pak Mei's death. It's possible that some of the Kungfu knowledge from different systems was exchanged during that period. Thank you for the comment and sharing your experience.

[@scottlaroc7396]

Thankyou, Sifu, for creating and sharing these profound interviews with those at the highest levels of the various martial arts of the world. I have found your series extremely interesting, and insightful. It must have been a truly amazing and enlightening experience for you to meet and speak with the various grandmasters etc of Gong Fu, and all of the manifold martial arts masters whom you have interviewed. In looking at how much insight and understanding that l have gained from watching the interviews, l am certain that it would have been profoundly insightful, bringing many reflections upon your own journey in Wing Chun. Have always found that many aspects, principles and insights can be gained and incorporated from other martial schools and systems, and bring further insight, development and understanding of ones own primary system therein, also.

That's a real master. Ancient martial arts are extraordinary but are often underrated (or even laughed at) because modern practitioners very rarely train realistically. The day Wing Chun and Shaolin practitioners will seriously train for MMA competitiond we'll have world champions in a matter of 10 to 20 years.

It really is a shame how fake martial artists and overreacting students have tarnished the image of traditional martial arts. This truly was a delight and refreshing to watch. Master Heong does not look very strong on the outside, but you can clearly see just how strong his tendons are as well as the amount of power he brings through his body.

[@progressconservation9262]

This works but not for the reason this guy seems to be saying. My judo coach always says "you can only be strong in one direction" and he demonstrates this principle in a similar manner. If I'm pushing in to you and you push back, it's strength against strength. If I change directions, then I'm no longer going against your strength, against the direction where you are exerting energy. I just stop resisting and take you in a different direction rather than directly opposite of the energy you're giving me. It's not a demonstration of internal power but just physics. If you grab ahold of me and push straight back, it's hard to resist by pushing back against you. A much better option is to fall back and do tomoe-nage, throw you in the direction you are giving me pressure. "Maximum efficiency," make you help throw yourself. The guy in the video, however, seems to be suggesting that it's more like magic, internal energy coming from how he has grounded his stance. It's really just a matter of using physics to trick your opponent.

thank you very much for all you do for us.i wish if you could go to chen jiagou village to make videos also with other tai chi teachers from all styles of tai chi,also other internal arts

[@perrypelican9476]

I like the great power that this guy can generate and would love to learn from him evem though i know how much work is involvec. One thing i think about is how does an internal master handle a fast, very strong opponent attacking with gusto. If the bad guy managed a hard strike to a soft spot, would the internal guy be able to absorb it. I know its the same for any art but some train to handle very intense attacks and strikes. Can a person be proficient at internals and be muscular? I have seen a monkey master who trains internals and has big strong muscles, i wonder about having the best of all worlds. I guess it depends what you want; to be a soldier or what. My goal is to be strong and have cotrol of internal energy to some extent. One last thought is that if not for the intense fighting in china amongst the dynasties, there would not have been any martial arts at all. Its funny considering the effect of buddhism in china. I suppose that is the reason for the wonderful and diverse culture in china. When you have a couple of billion people in such a relatively small country, so much can happen and hopefully the best will prevail. Lucky that buddhism was the relugion because had it been amy other if the popular ones in the world today, the world would probably have been destroyed in war and violence. Buddhism added meditation and respect of nature to the ability to fight and defend. Thats why i think buddhism is by far the only religion that is great. The others insight violence, and hate. The word non-believer and how non-believers are treatec in one of the other big religious groups shows why the world is in trouble. China evolved in the best way except for communism. Communism went way beyond what it was meant for and stripped their people of any spirituality. It was successful in preserving the lives of so many people but took away their cultures. Nothing is perfect and some things are evil.

[@MustAfaalik]

@Perry. We have a saying "train one way and fight another". And most religions are focused on a supreme being whereas Buddhism is towards purifying the mind just as a goldsmith purifies gold. Am still learning from a master who knows the art, shows the way and who walks the path. Hope my reply does justice to your thought out comments.

Thank you for your response.

There are several schools of 5 Ancestors that have different recent lineages. The late Chee Kim Thong was Master of his own school. When he died, the notable masters who were his own disciples (whom I am aware of were) the late Yap Cheng Hai, Han Kim Sen and James Chee. There may well be others whom I do not know.
