[@nickyeng7444]

Wonderful video, Kevin. There are so many training uses for old (abandoned😂 belts). As a kid we had to kick into a belt that was held infront of us in a loop. Once in a while the belt would "catch" our foot. We would have to jump around until we figured out that the secret was to turn our leg/foot to escape. I love lessons like this! Useful but also adds to the mysticism a bit too. Lets face it, it is a lot of fun too. Great guest, great messages, thank you!

wrestling is always the core of martial arts, no matter the period and no matter where the art is !!

[@Azraerll]

Not true even though wrestling is a martial art other things that we call martial arts were around long before wrestling yes u can argue all grappling is a form of wrestling but you weren't talking about that

[@bongkem2723]

@@Azraerll grappling is growing lately but striking and wrestling is the core for very long time, there were no soft mattress so once you get throw to the ground it's kinda over. Even today you can see countless CCTV where a guy KO other guy (in a bar, on the streets, in schools...) with a punch or a throw, very little grappling/lock in those footages. Grappling is a must nowadays in MMA competition but it's the cherry on top. Wrestling and striking (emphasize on punching) is the core martial arts for thousands of years.

[@BalaJunior]

Fact! wrestling bases martial artes + weapons training

[@Azraerll]

@bongkem2723 now your bringing up striking what does that have to do with your modern wrestling is the core argument? Might as well say boxing is the core of it all U never said how it is the core when mixed martial arts was an event in the first olympic games, which was before modern wrestling all because I grab a person doesn't make it wrestling the throws on the video u can't do in wrestling the street fight videos on youtube shows most people can't fight 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joeie010]

The shifu has massive forearms

[@keystothebox]

@kevinleevlog You should typically have your back heel down with your body weight on your heels. We know from body mechanics being off your heels causes a massive loss of balance for only a minor increase of power. There are a few times you should purposely be off your heels, but in general it is a bad habit that puts you at a disadvantage.

With this kind of videos it becomes clear that all Chinese martial arts styles and their derivatives have the same theoretical basis.

Good stuff!!! BTW, Shuai Jiao is not 3000 years old. If you go back to the proginators of the 3 main Shuai Jiao styles ( Wan Baye of Beijing, Cui Xiu Feng of Tianjin and Ping Jingyi of Baoding). Their wrestling is directly descended from the wrestling of the Shan Pu Ying which is Mongol- Manchurian or in the Qing era "Buku". Yes China has many folk wrestling, but it is not connected to Shuai Jiao as many kung fu people AND Shuai Jiao people claim.

[@KingoftheJiangl]

Northern nomadic wrestling styles date back to before the Mongols and tartars to the xiongnu and even earlier so 3000 years is not unrealistic, it's a pretty conservative estimate. Point taken on the lack of Chinese origin

[@giuseppienad2632]

@@KingoftheJianglYup. I mean both Mongolian and Manchurian wrestling came from Khitanese wrestling, so yes asiatic nomadic wrestling is 3000 years old. But if you really trace back the wrestling origins of Shuai Jiao, you would literally end up going back to wrestling tradtitions of the nomads since the very groups of people who are in the Shan Pu Ying are mostly Mongols and Manchurians who have their own wrestling culture and the birthplace of Shuai Jiao, Beijing, is literally the Manchu's home. But many people missed this point regarding the origins of Shuai Jiao.

He is absolutely ferocious in throwing his student Jai Harmon. Very impressive. Check this link at about 1:55 -2:10. Note the long deep "arrow stance" unlike typical Wing Chun stances (other than in the pole form). Beautiful integration of WC striking and SJ throwing. All good kung fu needs all ranges, like the old saying "Ti da shuai na" or "Kicking, punching, throwing, locking"! kzbin.info/www/bejne/an22q5aIeLaNe6s&ab_channel=ExperienceWingChunandTaijibySifuSergio
