[@kumaaraanderson234]

Is that the same as 'Fujian White Crane'?

[@RealKungFu]

George Adams Yes, that is what I was told by my teachers!

[@69bakagaijin]

Kung Fu & Tai Chi Center w/ Jake Mace Obviously your teacher deceived you.

[@alexandrosgiorgas7651]

George Adams If you want to see traditional fujian white crane, go check the "whitecranecanada" page.

[@SenchukovYuri]

Not at all!!! This is NOT Fujan white crane!!!

[@zachwells8994]

Personally been studying martial arts for some time. I find this almost offensive, now think of what pai mei would think....he wouldn't think, he would just kill you.

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

lol!

[@henrydumont4482]

He wouldn't lose only one eye😂

[@johngr1747]

Fang Qinian created the art

[@MrAmenefes]

this dude is so happy. i want to be his friend.

[@RealKungFu]

Thanks Pedro!

[@cygnuz2012]

I love this style, it's beautiful, elegant and powerful.

[@khadijahjoysams6172]

Awesome video. I'm going to train with it❤

Incredible White Crane Kung Fu Kata - Shaolin Taolu.

[@davidmartinez9804]

You got to give him credit, he does make great sound effects with his mouth.

[@KaceKlosed]

Yes I was thinking a bit too much mouth breath - need more lower abdomen exhales / strength.

[@AnOwlinDaylight]

Great moves and attitude people are so sad with negativity if you don't like dont watch appreciate this person who is imparting his experience and knowledge to help people for free what have you negative people done world has enough negativity in the world for me jake thank you for sharing

[@enesxhemajli2025]

Nice video!!

[@loreljacq5744]

Good kicks really good like that kinda windmill double kick. :) Good videos.

[@josephkarsky9479]

It has been many years since I have done a kata, but the one you demonstrated looks very similar to the ones we did. Have you ever heard of Charging White Crane?

[@PerryBattles]

In the system of Shaolin Kung Fu that I practice we have a very similar form -- White Crane Spins the Legs, I believe. While the two forms are not exactly the same, there's no doubt in my mind that they have the same origin (although I suppose that's obvious, considering they both have roots in Shaolin), as I can see the same sense behind each move in one as in the other. Awesome video!

[@kellersongael8868]

Perry B shaolin is the origin of most martial art systems in the world. It has spread to japan in 13th century. Many actual forms are made of impressive fancy moves, which are very nice to watch, but have lost their internal power.

[@anthonylong9067]

Elegant and deadly at the same time.

[@BenjaminHennequinVVR]

Merci

[@corneliussnance1604]

Based on your comment I'm assuming you either didn't read the full title of the video or you just didn't pay enough attention because it says "Shaolin Crane Taolu" in the title you silly billy.

[@imankhan1999]

Wow, White Crane Kung Fu!!!!!!

[@willemels5238]

I think you have a unique style, which has incorporated elements of various forms, and I do not doubt its effectiveness but.........you try and pass it off as the authentic style. The beginning form of White Crane does not resemble anything you have demonstrated. Both the Shaolin and Fukien salutations are different. White Crane ' s beginning form is all handwork so I am a bit surprised to see high spinning kicks.

[@AreaAziroth51]

Hey there Jake. you have good form and concentration. I wanted to know if you know any of the Shaolin Snake forms, and by that I mean if you know the White (Venom?) Snake Form? I've been trying to remember this form for awhile now but I'm think I'm getting parts of the form mixed up on some sections.

[@jeffscott1999]

Who are you guys to say rather it works or not?

[@johnny5isalive7]

The Crane is a interesting form

[@TaironAguilera2]

You are awesome bro, Lo ve Hour place

[@phoenixstone5709]

How long does it take to master this style of kung Fu?

[@neaituppi7306]

I know 3 white crane forms. This one looks like the combination of two halves of 2 of them. Pai Hao Huan Tse and Pai Hao Huan Ch'iao

[@NexGenRepublic]

As someone who is developing there own style/system I can see the use in this however it doesn't matter if it's authentic it matters if it's functional people get too caught up with names and titles just practice and put your heart in it.

[@HECTORARTUROA]

SSGSS Solid Snake It's my case... I am developimg my own system too... I look primañy if works.

[@areitomusic]

Obviously, you do not know what you are talking about, if you are "someone who is developing there own style/system". You are just as ignorant as Jake, the Fraud Mace. The creators of the Authentic techniques were Scholars of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the Musculo-skeletal systems of the body. They understood the Physical Body as a whole, and the Authentic techniques are configured around their expertise in their Traditional Medical fields. So you need to stop "developing" your own BS and find a real Teacher to learn the real thing. Because FAKE cannot be functional.

[@gson7288]

After viewing this video I have sum things: 1: even if wat he is teaching isn't a concrete white crane, it's good exercise. 2: even if this isn't white crane, ther is still sum truth to it. Cz wether from readin or learnin from a master as I said ther is a element of truth n any trainin is trainin wether good or bad u can still use it. 3: this guy really knos how to explain the moves to make them easy to learn. Usually people Js do it, n barely explain the way he does. 4: 60% or the people commentin think they kno concrete white crane. Anything thts really passed Down is like the telephone game. 5: great video. After many attempts I learned it, I may b bashed bt i will figure wat I wanna use it for in my routine. 6: the guy is wobbley which I question how long he has been doin this. Cz masterin this; u shouldn't b unbalanced like tht. 7: good day n thanks 8: I kno nothin of styles n understand tht I can't say much bt I do understand enough to make valid points.

[@jesbsnrn]

as usual, great video, very much appreciated. my father, a martial arts instructor never had as much fun as you seem to have teaching. love the five fingers, they are perfect for training.

[@reytrevino8284]

Are you in Arizona?

[@elfioroagu]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Regards

[@RealKungFu]

Thank you for watching!

[@edwardbishop9487]

elfioro agu What knowledge, I’m still waiting to see it

[@AZNBOOM808]

Hey Jake since most of the Taolu are asymmetrical how do you prevent muscle imbalances from developing, do you just do it the opposite way after? After keep posting crane stuff! I'm tall and skinny so i feel like snake or crane fit me best. Keep up the good work bro!

[@MissusLJSerafinoMimickingMomma]

Practice every form on both sides.... once you can do the form exactly like Jake does it in the video, go back and do everything "backwards." For example, at 3:25 you see a right, then left sidekick; when practicing the form "on the other side," this would become a left sidekick followed by a right sidekick.

[@RealKungFu]

Hey AZNBOOM808 - I find that most of the forms balance themselves out! I teach over 100 forms and they all do work the full body pretty in a balanced way! But, you can do them backwards of course!!! :)

[@okkoem]

you're probably the coolest white dude ever .

[@bigfootvslittlefoot]

I agree lol

[@RealKungFu]

***** :)

[@RealKungFu]

Haha! Thanks!

[@NothingMeek]

Jake you are the man!!! I love your humbleness man!

[@XyZ-de8be]

Nice! Did you invent the tao lu?:D

[@stevenpearson4730]

fluidity grace and power? o.O i didnt see any of that with his balance... lol beautiful form tho i will give him that :)

[@chobyboys]

whats the name of this tao lu

[@69bakagaijin]

Incredibly this looks nothing like the actual White Crane Gong Fu in Fujian. Why must you misrepresent every existing Gong Fu style?

[@defjulz]

lol that "side kick left, side kick right" looked pretty ridiculous.

[@lafocaz3033]

No, this is nothing like shaolin Crane, not of the sistem, not from the 5 animals. In fact, this is not kung fu at all, its the missinterpretation of someone how has seen some of the style in a movie and tried to emulate them. Kung Fu, is a way of life, it centers in the flow of the body to create strenght. I dont know of any northern kung fu style that takes 2 or 3 moves in a fixated position, that doesnt move trough the Dan Tien, and that stands in a one legged stance (Du Li Bu) to kick 2 or 3 times. Sadly, this is not kung fu

[@alexandermartinez1860]

69bakagaijin shut up your a disgrace to kung fu

[@shifusaady4277]

Thanx but it is good for beginner and it must be call short basics on crane fist kung-fu

[@matbroomfield]

It's fascinating to see what techniques and principles someone in the past thought were worth passing down through time, but also rather disappointing when they are so tactically weak. Clearly some parts of this kata have merit - the press, flick combos, or the side kicks, for instance, and other moves merit serious consideration simply to see what principles they may be trying to impart, but other sequences make me wonder if they have EVER been used in actual combat.

[@matbroomfield]

Efraim Godah What are you basing that accusation upon please?

[@matbroomfield]

Efraim Godah So the fact that he oversells his videos and pronounces "kata" differently to you is a sign of dishonesty? What about the number of styles Jackie Chan was proficient in by his 20s - loads, including weapons. One of my former instructors was a black belt in wado, jujitsu, kenjutsu, and a range of kobudo weapons by his early 20s. Say what you like about Jake, but he moves purposefully, and he has competence in a wide variety of weapons. Whether that's all just dancing, or actual martial competence, I can't say, but regardless of where he's acquired his knowledge (or made it up), he appears to have genuine tactical understanding and he interacts with other people in a martial way. So it may not be authentic white crane that follows a lineage of teachers, but if he understands the applications, and can perform them as a white crane stylist would, so what? I just hear no end of sour grapes from people who are not one tenth the MA Jake is, and people on Bullshido are the lowest of the low. Small minded, self appointed guardians of the martial arts world.

[@matbroomfield]

Efraim Godah Bullshido was mentioned in the link you provided. But this is exactly what I'm talking about. I'm quite willing to concede that Jake may not be practicing traditional chinese martial arts in the sense of having learned from a confirmed lineage (and I wouldn't know enough about the art to recognise if it was or wasn't), but simply to say "a legit TCMA teacher would NEVER use s JAPANESE term like that" is a massive blanket statement. He might be using the term because he also does karate. He might be using it to communicate with a European audience. But you're right - when it comes to Chinese martial arts, I do have no clue on the subject. Looking at what he's doing, he appears to have done the work, but I can't judge whether he's effective or not. Even if it were karate, which I know something about, it would be hard to judge, given his athleticism and the confidence of his moves, if he was "genuine" or not. But I do get irritated when other people hold themselves up as judge and jury in such matters. That said, thanks for your thoughts Efraim.

[@AZNBOOM808]

Mat Broomfield I wanna add that even if this dude started his videos by saying "so i just made this up 5 mins ago..." I would still totally learn from him.

[@matbroomfield]

AZNBOOM808 Hear hear!

[@alekx58]

si dai dui he goa hsien man huan nah xu de lao zuo she he fu nah bo hai she liao shi fu jun ta jiao jong zhe tong zhung chun hai she amaizing is that you relly got you correct style maby it is from a big spiritual family for what also orders are running out

[@souravpachung3320]

who is your teacher ?..

[@zachwells8994]

In a book with bruce lee and his closest friend. A master of praying mantis whooped both bruce lee and his friend. I think it is the way of the warrior.

[@morrismedia4587]

What's the difference between shaolin Kung fu and normal Kung fu

[@dneuman7455]

total obedience and lots of meditation tons of chores for working out. mental and physical endurance of limits lol

[@hugster2000]

I study real white crane kung fu and this isn't it, although some of the moves can be mildly effective.

[@mattuc2023]

You don't see the Ninja... The Ninjas sees you as he's killing you.

[@alecinsel]

Master Mace shows off some highly commendable booty in this vid XD

[@dneuman7455]

Just remember to let sparing partners know to spar at a level say 6 even if your at different levels.

[@skibitom]

Crane style presented are different from Shaolin Crane Style.

[@silence5335]

As a disciple of traditional white crane kung fu ..i must say ur technique is way off...we are a southern style kung fu and we dont use high kicks we use mid to lower kicks ...also we dont spin kick cause it leaves to many openings...also kata which is karate came from the white crane system...plz do ur research before posting...wats up with these youtube shifu's...

[@robs9980]

+Sixto Figueroa Confused what you mean about this. "also kata which is karate came from the white crane system...plz do ur research before posting..." He called it kata and Taolu. Basically he was saying it in a way easier for people to understand. I had no idea what Taolu meant (Since I do Karate) and because of this video, I learned something.

[@The-Contractor]

Well said. Jake just put up some total bullshit and slapped a cool label on it. His so called "White Crane" is shit blatant. Yeah, all TCMA styles have lots of "kata" :)

[@The-Contractor]

Jake has taken to shitting the bed. His so called White Crane is utter shit. His Praying Mantis was even worse if you can believe that. He was fine with Tai Chi and has some good stuff up on it. However, he seems to have spun out of control and now brands himself as a skilled MA in multiple MA systems that he has no clue about whatsoever.

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

@The Contractor I looked up some of his Tai chi a while ago... Even though I've only had a small amount of instruction in that art, his videos on it were pretty bad imo. It seemed like he just saw or read a book and made a bunch of assumptions about what the movements were supposed to be like and what the applications were. With less than 2 months cumulative instruction, I was also able to tell his forms and movement were wayyyy off. It's weird for me to say because I never use this terminology, but his movements didn't hold the spirit of Tai chi. I guess it's like a new person at karate throwing a roundhouse vs a black belt throwing one.

[@Herowebcomics]

Thoes are some crasily low stances! I'v got to get more flexable before I can do thoes!

[@kellersongael8868]

Herowebcomics the low stances as show on this video are used for stretching, or for showing off, they are ineffective when it comes to fighting system. This is gymnastic kungfu, this is not real kungfu. To practice real kungfu, specialy a south shaolin style like the white crane, you dont need (and it is better not to) go that low on your stances.

[@robs9980]

+Kellerson Gaël If you have balance, could you tell me why being able to evade at any angle (extremely low is an angle) is bad? The "real" Kung fu that you learned might be different than the "real" Kung Fu someone else has learned. For example, I do Karate. My first style was Shotokan (from Funakoshi). I did about 2 years of Goju-Ryu and I'm currently in Seidokan (a form of Shorin-ryu created by the late master Shian Toma). Martial Arts are liquid. You can adapt what works for you and as long as it's practical and there is a meaning to your moves, there is no harm. Another example is my Stepfather who started with Chinese Kenpo, moved to shotokan, then Taekwando, and now BJJ. You don't think his take on Martial Arts and his methods would be different than if he'd just studied one style his whole life?

[@kellersongael8868]

Yes, different schools train in different ways. When you follow the lineage though, at some point, most of them link to the same sources. Some people have done a big work to get back to these sources, in order to find the schools that have been the most faithfull to the lineage. It surely is a subjective point of view when I say "real kung fu", nethertheless, it is backed with some facts, some historical and some practical. If you are sensible to chi (qi) training, you will notice clearly that you can gather much more qi in your dantien (ara) when your legs are not too low. Also, when the knees are bent too much, it is a risk to damage them (unless you have strong knees, which is a good thing to have) and you loose much power and flow of chi. Because it is hard to find a real master (there is hundreds of so called masters), yes I think it is a good thing to visit different styles, to pick in each of them what suits us. I think we all have our own style to developp and the best way to do so is to keep open minded. If someone finds a real master though, which ever style it may be, he will developp his style whithout having the need to look somewhere else. I haven't had this chance, but it happenend to some people around me. What I believe above all : our best teacher, is ourselves.

[@thatpurple5577]

Toe shoes???

[@ANGELINAYOMAYO]

what kind of kung fu

[@69bakagaijin]

Totally made up rubbish. Jake´s speciality.

[@edwardbishop9487]

TRASH CONTENT That is an insult to crane style

[@edwardbishop9487]

It is called fake fu

[@spinehong]

[@PiromancerFreak]

Tbh this is more Tae Kwon Doe than Kung Fu.

[@factualguy1368]

flicking is so funny lol...

[@amrc833]

What we have here is about 80% of a stolen form from Shaolin-Do. What do you expect from a second black that turned his back on his master

[@IRONMAN1202]

This is definetly not a Shaolin tao lu.

[@patchesmcadams1587]

Why not call the stuff you teach the jake mace system or something and say it's inspired by Chinese Martial Arts, but to say you are teaching styles that already exist but arnt actually that style is misinformation and basically a lie.

[@jeffscott1999]

Ok.I love having fun when experimenting with Animal styles. Sure. Why not. Is he a pro? Idk. But I do see methods here that could work.I know enough myself. None the less. ANY fight is uncertain. Anything can happen. But I utilize his techniques into my own. Bruce Lee even said. "Discard what is useless. Add what is essentually your own." Now... If you cant see reasoning in his vids. You are blind. I certainly dont see any of you posting demos. And Id think youd have something better to do. Saying hes going to get people hurt by teaching them wrong. Wheres YOUR vids? If they get hurt. And it doesnt work. Like I SAID. NOTHING IS CERTAIN IN A FIGHT. IT DONT MATTER WHAT YOU USE IN THE END.If you dont like it so much. Why do you keep up? People arent going to listen. Let them decide themselves. Are you a fkn professional? Bull. Vids??? Didnt think so. Who are you to tell others like me. That its no good. Shut up. I bet half of you dont know nothing but drinkin or smokin. And how to use your fat mouth...

[@kovenmaitreya7184]

It's not so much rather it would work or not, but the apparent inauthenticity. He portrays this stuff as being established and from already existing sources, but if you go to those sources, they're nothing like what he's doing and makes what he does seem pretty hollow.

[@mariano1213]

Poor Kung fu

[@francisallen5459]

Shit everytime I go to see a real form of Kung Fu this freaking fake show's up

[@user-le2pq2nn4v]

Ha ha ha ha..,WTF? is this not CRANE

[@martinchochola6908]

Personally I think that Jack Mace is ill. Has had some sort of trauma in the past, otherwise he would have chosen to study something deeply and not producing this kind of shit on every style he founds.

[@danejohns5042]

Your form sucks worse than your balance. And that's a lot

[@tylerrea2529]
