Hang Ng's Combat System p1 - Kung Fu of Hong Kong ep8

[@robertstrauss5945]

You are showing a number of genuine masters. It's good to see their skills are alive and being passed on.

[@chip877]

For a young man to take shots to the body like that would be impressive ! So impressed with this master !!!

[@deadlypalms]

It is rare in these demonstrations to see a person really throwing decent punches, but is clearly doing so here!

[@Warhead-Vun]

Wow, Taking a series of full frontal blunt force to the body and still standing and talking like nothing happened, he's a superhuman

[@thetruemorg]

There's something really similar about the hard body stuff shown in this video that reminds me of one of my Yin Bagua teachers (not HJB yin style). He did the same anti-rib grabbing and armpit anti-grab. They talked about integrating that from swimming dragon body sort of practices... It's always so interesting to see these videos of such drastically different styles that have similar to things but yet so different. Also, the dude's hard body was on point the way that he didn't even move while taking those blows. Always love the channel

[@erykkai]

Very good demonstration of true skills. 👍

[@Gieszkanne]

Very interesting Sifu and for me Chow Gar is one of the most intersting southern styles.

[@KungFit]

He was definitely very interesting to talk to. We took him to lunch afterwards and had a really interesting discussion about how he had used western medicine to better understand qi gong

[@ruiseartalcorn]

Fascinating stuff! Many thanks :)

[@aidansubject337]

thanks for an awsome series this is my favourite one so far i love the styles you have found

[@KungFit]

You're welcome! We had a blast making it

[@deadlypalms]

What a joy it is to see these new amazing videos appear! Thank you for all the work involved in creating and uploading these. Great to see Hang's system here - which I know a lot of very experienced chow gar'ers have gone on to train in - he is highly respected. You can see how he retains the roots of the power generation - chy sau is a fantastic but very hard, I rarely looked forward to the 30 mins of it at the start of class. Chy sau, doi-jong, sarm bo jin - I recall Sifu Ip Chee Keung then saying that once you have the power, it does not matter what technique you use.

[@mikimilostnic2366]

Amazing guys! If you have a chance to meet Sifu Lin Tin Loi from Chow Gar, and some Wing Chun Sifus like Sifu Wan Kam Leung, or Sifu Kong Chi Keung. that would be also be an amazing experince for you. Great vid! Your living all our dreams. Keep it up

[@bevancastle4492]

Always good to see gung fu and its rich training methods. You don't need alot of equiptment. Just learn the skill and train

[@ericaragon6482]

Hope part 2 is a lot longer 🙏

[@ronaldwheeler1153]

This look into not just styles/systems in Hong Kong but, looking into the Hakka Systems was extremely informative. I read something some years ago that, before Lau Soui Dai Sifu learned the Chow Ga Tong Long Pai, he was one of the last known exponents of the style known as "Horse Fist" ( Ma Kuen) ??? You would see it in a few of the movies during Kung Fu's Golden Era. Has anyone else heard of this story about Lau Sifu???

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

I’ve never seen or heard of that style, but sounds interesting!

[@ronaldwheeler1153]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach I know that the Hung Fut Pai teaches 10 Different Animal Sets/Forms and they teach a Horse Form. An exponent of that style named Yim Tai Loi Sifu started teaching the Hung Fut in the States around 1975, settling in the state of Maryland just across the District Of Columbia (DC) line. His school closed it's doors late last year 2022. I believe the Choy Li Fut system also teaches a Horse Form but as a separate stand alone system, I believe it's unfortunately extinct.

[@EvosBasics]

Sijo Lau Shui was already a master in Ma Ga Kuen or Ma Kuen as you said. Supposedly with footwork so quick and agile that his pig tail would not fall down and touch his back until he was done with his form.

[@violentfox]

Good stuff. Also, the more I see skilled practitioners of the southern styles, the more it feels that the skillset is shared with the North.

[@frankmartinez4856]

Thanks for exploring the Hakka systems 🎉I come from the Fujian(Bok Fu), Guangdong (Hung Gar/ Choy Li Fut) you inspired me to start training again, Sifu ❤new form 😳Peng Pu Chuan 😬

[@ragemydream]

There is so much quality in this video and its content and teachings. Really hope people can really appreciate how powerful Master Hang Ng is. Thank you to @KungFuRonin for doing a great job at translating.

[@Dark-Light_Ascendin]

Thank you for your contributions, monkey peach, in bringing this to us.

[@Dark-Light_Ascendin]

Keep em commin, homie.

[@TheLockWhisperer]

Would you be able to explain the spiritual meanings on the kung fu alters we see at the kung fu schools ?! I think a break down of these things would be really cool !

[@wtfgeis]

Would love to see more from Hang Sifu!

[@outerlast]

since you mentioned you're going to cover wing chun one day, can you consider covering and documenting wooden dummy/wooden man/wooden stake forms from various styles? outside wing chun, i heard hung gar and choi li fut has several dummies. there are videos of mantis and bak mei with their own wooden dummy forms. and there's supposed to be dragon, white crane, baji, and bagua wooden dummy forms too? i wonder how many others that are not known

[@indyjones1970]

Brilliant. Really useful information, thanks for sharing

[@gregorykruszynski5886]

Great video, so I see many many similarities with the Hung Gar style.

[@buicktothemoon]

Never seen iron shirt like that. Most guys are just sort of tensing up and take in the stomach. You were smashing him in the ribs

[@buicktothemoon]

The way I was taught was by seeing qi as a kind of ideokinetic model that we use to develop sensitivity to the body. As you release the Psoas and other muscles, we spread the slack around the fascia and it develops a spring quality. What happens is that you do reverse breathing, you stomach is like hitting a tire filled with air. It’s really dangerous if you haven’t spread the slack across the fascia, as it will just cause rupture.

[@buicktothemoon]

Probably a really bad way of explaining what’s happening.

[@BomissoSylvain]

Great job. I love your video

[@KungFit]

Thanks!

[@realherbalism1017]

Very smart man. I've used that method before

[@Chashaobao3938]

Will there be any coverage of the Choy Lay Fut system? Been loving this content, thank you so much for your coverage of all of these Southern Systems!!

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Hopefully on my next visit!

[@Li-Kan]

Thanks for this super video!! I like other kung fu, I practice wing chun!! Question, which Kung fu so far impressed you more and do you feel more quality, north or south? and who?? Thanks for your work, greetings from Spain!

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Every style has been really interesting for me

[@liuzg150181]

一胆二力三功夫,power generation and development is really the meat and potatoes of TCMA.

[@Saviohno]

That's some crazy iron body skills!

[@buicktothemoon]

Not seen anything like that before

[@natschooler]

Good to see this. It has a lot in common with Taichichuan. Very interesting.

[@xingyimaster1987]

I respect these chinese masters alot, as a guy whose trained Chinese martial arts for years. My only criticism is they spend so much time talking about power and power generation, showing how to really use the art practically gets missed

[@KungFit]

This is only part 1, there's more of what you are looking for in part 2 🙂 In general I think that is sometimes a fair comment though, but I think there is a reason for it. They want to get across the essence if their style, core training methods, what makes it different from another local style, strategy etc. In application things can start to look similar without context of what someone is trying to do.

[@Dark-Light_Ascendin]

I trained jkd w sifu Duane Keller in Florida.

[@EzeHSK]

I know there's at least a few styles of southern mantis like Chow Gar and Chu Gar, are they all related? Is there any connection with northern mantis? I know the styles are nothing alike but I dunno maybe there's a cultural or some other connection. I heard one theory that they used the name to sort of disguise/hide the school, but maybe it's just all a big coincidence.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

As I said in the last video, northern and southern Mantis are totally unrelated, just coincidence the names are the same. As for the different styles of southern Mantis, that will be a project for another time

[@EzeHSK]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach Yeah I know they're unrelated but maybe there's a connection. You know Chinese martial arts, especially Guandong styles, have deep political histories. And the Hakka people originally come from the north, so maybe they were like "oh we are with the mantis guys" maybe as a way to hide from whoever chased them south. I dunno, wild hypothesis, maybe bollocks. I mean looking at southern mantis body mechanics you can sort of see the insect's moves. Anyway, thanks for these amazing documentaries.

[@MDHo1841]

For Chow Gar and Chu Gar, AFAIK they are basically the art passed down from the same master, but as the Hakka pronouciation of 'Chow' may sound like a Cantonese 'Chow' or 'Chu', different 'styles' were thus named

[@Hakka_Charlie]

The Hakka migrations happened over hundreds of years and they were not "chased" lol they migrated mostly for economical reasons and settled in their new land for generations before moving on. The connection between north and South mantis is that both came to HK in early 20th century, which became a kind of melting pot of northern and southern styles. Some of the northern mantis masters such as master Lee Kam Wing were friends with grandmaster Ip Shiu. You can see many masters turning up at his 90th birthday celebration back in early 2000's.

[@EzeHSK]

​@@MDHo1841 Thanks!

[@Simon2k17]

I always thought chow gar grinding hands had chi gong in it. Am I wrong?

[@MrRourk]

That is the real iron shirt

[@Dark-Light_Ascendin]

This guy is amazing.

[@MustAfaalik]

Hi Will. In this episode i have noticed that your structure is off & weak when it comes to testing the Master's power. Hope it helps.🙏

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thanks for the help

[@varanid9]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach Yes, and I also couldn't help but notice that your chi in your left shoulder was off compared to your right. Perhaps Iron Spine balance training would benefit you in conjunction with emitting the semen while you practice your thunder breath.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thanks for the useful suggestions

[@clementray1410]

How do you train the iron body the master was doing

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

I don’t know their specific methods, as we just went to get an overview of the style

[@Hakka_Charlie]

In Chow gar mantis, we train the core form called sarm bo gin which contains all the methods within it if you are taught it and understand how. There are separate solo exercises (gungs) that may focus more on a particular body part e.g. the throat, neck area, or ribs etc. followed by many partner drills they work on different things, such as conditioning/hitting, power resistance, sensitivity, reflexes etc.

Related but not the same

need to try rear naked choke the other thing needs to consider is his body. His body is looked liked just a bit overweight oldman That can kind of body will make opponent misjudged his power compared to the students that have big upper body, opponent will know how much needed to beat him

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

That was a demonstration of neck strength when pressure is applied to his throat. It wasn’t trying to show he is immune to a choke. No amount of neck strength training will stop a choke applied properly.
