Would you like to see more of this style? Let me know what you’d like to know about it below!

[@JoejoeReference]

As soon as international travel is possible, you guys better go back!

[@scozzbaggs9224]

Yesssssss morr

[@spectralmelodies5979]

Body methods are always appreciated!

[@davidg9682]

It would be awesome to better understand the concept behind "opening the hip" and "closing the chest/opening the shoulder blades". For the former, he mentioned that there were training methods. Did he show you any of these?

[@NatarajSubramanian]

Yes, please!! 🙏

[@belzebul]

He is -----------WAY MORE better than I expected. His movements seems actually fluid, powerful, and-as rare as it gets nowadays-looks like he actually knows how to put up a fight, not just doing forms mindlessly. He moves like a 20 year old, impressive.

[@galain]

Love the channel. Looks like Master Lin has been eagerly waiting years for people to come along so he can he share his stuff with them.

[@bongkem2723]

this guy is legit !!! he is blazing fast and he clearly understands every move he does, not just the form in a show ! look how relax his movement is and how he changing angle, changing height, his hands also circle a lot to trap/lock/block... he also a mastered calligraphy which old school kungfu usually emphasizes !!! a hidden real grand master right there. You guys need to go back and learn as much from him as possible, a real kungfu grand master like this is so rare in a sea of modern so-called "masters" today !!!

[@kentbyron7608]

Love this guy’s enthusiasm. Sharing is one of the greatest gifts to mankind. Such a likable fellow too. Gratitude!

[@Gieszkanne]

Yes and he almost beat up KarateNerd x )

[@onlyhuman7420]

He has very positive and likeable persona and he moves like a person much younger than he really is.He is unbelievable individual.

[@thezentaoist1741]

This Uncle is so quick and has so much energy! I'm entertained just watching him even with no explanation!

[@jtothaizzo7000]

i hope you can feature this sifu again, his movements are seamless

[@williambeck6575]

This old man is inspiring. To be able to move like this at his age...

[@NomadGuardian]

These arts need to be preserved complete on videos. So they can not be lost to Time !

[@fightingstudent2363]

Impressive figure living in the streets, living his art...thank you!

[@grantedfornow]

Excellent southern boxing...fast, powerful, changeable, filled with a huge variety of power generation schemes. What a pleasure it would be to study with someone of this caliber.

[@onlyhuman7420]

Southern Luohan Quan(Incense shop boxing in particular) definitely needs more coverage.

[@The-Contractor]

Simple, clean, and direct .... very organic feel about it. Nice. Thanks for posting it up.

[@jasonmartialartsguy3039]

You guys seemed nervous due to his unpredictability! Haha. Fun but scary

[@cAbEzAdEpAlMeRa]

This is GOLD for Martial Arts, thank you so much!

[@Jameskeith1972]

❤️❤️❤️. That calligraphy!!!! Mind blowing. Thanks 🙏

[@stuart5811]

It is beautiful

[@silkplayer9]

Not only this sifu has high level of conditioning and understanding of internal and external movements he also revealed alot secret theories, concepts and applications which are a big no go only teach to insiders in asian martial arts, a rare gem nowaday.

[@gongfutaijimy]

Looks incredibly practical. Seen practical footwork, flowing strikes (bit fancy but still looks really practical), good balance and speed, slips and dodges, concepts of countering grappling.

[@sevenchambers]

Tango Zulu So incense boxing is Luohan Quan?

[@Wahhann]

@@sevenchambers Yes

[@robertmallory1877]

Flowing strikes can be immensely powerful. Just ask the Uechi-Ryu Karate people whose main three forms comprise the original Pangai Noon that so greatly resembles this Incense Shop Boxing!

[@spino.urchin]

I love your chanel, it's a treasure. Imagine there would have been cameras 200 years ago.

[@byronomboy]

This GM is a triple crown right there. Classical masters know martials arts, healing arts, and calligraphy.

[@kathywolf4558]

Felt better just watching him!

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

First off thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this wonderful journey your on through southern China and finding it’s hidden Kung Fu masters. I absolutely love all of the videos that you share regarding these top level masters and seeing these amazing styles I would have never had the opportunity to see and experience without your generous and passionate KZbin channel. I was really interested in the method the teacher was describing regarding how to open up the shoulder blades as well as the kua. I have seen a number of other high level masters put a lot of emphasis on opening the shoulder blades using specialized training of late. Unlike opening and closing the Kua which I have been familiar with for many years, having open and loose shoulder blades to that extent is quite new to me. When the teacher kept mentioning the power coming through the rounded back I was really hoping you or your traveling buddies would have asked if that particular movement or energy is the same as in TongBei which I know also uses very similar mechanics. I believe Piqua also has that in common. Anyway keep up the great work, and I look forward to your next videos. I wish you continued success in your training, and pray that you and your fellow travelers stay healthy throughout your journey.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Glad you’re enjoying and finding value from them! It was interesting, because he was rounding his back a lot more than Tongbei does. We have some rounding of the back in Mantis, but it is transitional and to a much more subtle degree than this.... hence why he said I was not doing it enough.

[@dvidfmar]

A spiritual successor of the southern Shaolin Kung-Fu. That's amazing.

[@Jameskeith1972]

I really enjoyed the last parts where he heals and makes you a nice gift! What a great experience!

[@evgenyrybin2394]

Excellent Master Lin

[@BAJ80]

Wow! i recognize also some lessons Yoshimi Inoue taught in Karate. Thank you for this great video and your work!

[@828maori5]

I hope this master was able to pass down the art to a point where, in the event he succumbs to death, the art he embraced so much will live on.

[@BoathausMusic]

Fantastic video! Very insightful. This guy really seems "old school" and I love it :)

[@M_K-Bomb]

8:12 It's interesting seeing the part where the master/Sifu does a version of an arm drag turning him around to have his wrist behind his back then pushing him into the wall. I could really imagine that being a useful interpretation of the pushing done in Tai Chi.

[@oldtyger]

Master Lin reminds me of an old master of Southern Dragon style I saw perform in NYC’s Chinatown decades ago. He had similar explosive power with the use of bowing the thoracic spine for power generation except Southern Dragon style was more compact, not as expansive as Incense boxing. Master Lin’s comments on expanding the body and use of kwa is reminiscent of the baguaquan I have learned, supposedly derived from luohanquan. Great video!

[@sullyb23511]

If Southern Dragon is Hakkanese, would that account for the compact nature of it?

[@chenjun6102]

他的同门现在还在纽约的的格兰街公园练习 一般是星期天早上

Wonderful style Incense shop boxing 🥊

[@RedStoneWhite]

Awesome video and appreciate you sharing it with the world. ❤❤❤

[@RelaxingMusic-hk5qu]

great work !!!!

[@southernfistkungfu8236]

The first thing many noticed is his level of energy and excitement just talking about his Kung Fu. What's also interesting a lot of his principles is what I hear from my Sifu in respect to basic southern Kung Fu. He new just from looking at the big westerner he would have to account for the long limbs and size.

[@jacquelinecahill3487]

Thank you so much for such a wonderful sharing 🙏Master Lin is a complete treasure 😁🙏

[@TomGeogecko]

Fluid movement with some internal relaxed hand strokes. Very impressive

[@GoyoMontoya]

Awesome experience. Well done and thanks for sharing.

[@michaelborror4399]

[@Billy_Mandalay]

His calligraphy was not the prettiest, but my, ... what an honour !

[@dayvid_danger]

He seems to "fill the space" just like incense would, and even has some wispy movements. Sometimes incense's power is in it's subtlety. Very interesting!

[@KurtBliss]

I'd love to go there to learn from this master "Respects" Thank you for the share

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

I can put you in touch if you want

This guy was intense!!! 🗯🤛😮

[@kcorsnosbig]

Wow thanks for the share.. Dude is like Nytro-...Reminds me of what they said Bruce was like as a kid...Never sits still... So cool...

[@jodanmawashi]

Super Interesting video, what a passionate master, the neck adjustment was interesting too, I thought his calligraphy was great, very similar to his martial arts frenetic, but when he was adjusting your neck you could see his focus, control and intensity in a new way

[@gamingmusicandoutdoors9623]

This guy is really cool

[@kwanattilatv]

Wouaw! Ce maître est génial! Quelle chance de le rencontrer!

[@OverSooll]

there is a profound humane quality in this master, like all people who suffered a lot ( communism), it is touching, he seems eager to give and connect, beautiful rare find !

[@franckherrmannsen7903]

another great video, very good master

[@huzhuiwei]

he he, I really like master Lin

[@CrossingFist]

Another good video, Will. This reminds me a lot more of Guangdong styles than Fujian boxing. Some of it is reminiscent of the Choy Li Fut I trained in my youth.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Interestingly I think so too

[@ppkrex]

Cai Li Fo is a variety of monk fist, so it makes sense that they would have similarities.

[@LucasHenrique-it2io]

@@MonkeyStealsPeach but, this style is the Bubishi style, right? or its fake news too?

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Mmmm, hard to say exactly. This style is a derivative of Luohan Quan, but there are several derivatives. I’d say its more likely the Luohan mentioned in the Bubishi is the ancestor of Incense Shop. I uploaded videos of the styles 4 main forms to my second channel Monkey Offers Peach, so you can take a look and see if you think there’s much crossover with Karate

[@AmirrezaGaming]

good and nice

[@QuantumPK]

A lot these southern styles with the standing still fighting and close quarter combat with mostly upper body movements were developed from fighting whilst standing on small boats up and down the rivers and coastlines, if you want to unlock your hips like he was suggesting without the ten years of training get ta large inflatable ball, big enough to stand on, put it in some water and try standing on it.

[@ambulocetusnatans]

What he did to your neck, is that the same as a chiropractor would do?

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Chinese bonesetting. More or less the same idea I guess

[@Suchapill]

Is it chin na?

[@jesseho7904]

Chinese bone setting is part of TCM not chiropractic. Bone setting is a technique used in Tui Na.
