[@brittscott4673]

You have great springiness in your knees and you look like you also know and practice Tai Chi. Great,detailed explanation of the components of the form and it's movements.

[@jaysmythe154]

Cool! Haven't seen any of this guys vids for ages, his locking, breaking, escape and escape blocking tutelage is so detailed and always gentle and respectful to his partners. Honestly, a real master in front of us.

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Wow, thanks!

[@TheAmandaHoneycutt]

Beautiful form ❤️ Excellent attention to detail, this will be enjoyable to learn. I would love to see it at full speed.

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Thank you! Perhaps I will demo this form soon.

[@johnmoon5798]

Wonderful. Thank you for your openness and generosity in sharing your knowledge.

@@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu indeed my favorite kung fu channel as it is rare to find videos on this style

[@hannahstone452]

I have just started learning this form, I love it.

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Thats great, once you have learnt this form send me a video and I will give you some feed back.

[@yangshen5540]

I've never been inspired to study Choy Li Fut, until I watched this vid. This is a fantastic instructor, who really knows how to get the finer points and necessary angles of perspective across. Would love to see a vid on the apps for this!

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Thank you Yang Shen.

[@michaelloder5150]

From one instructor to another this video is Awsome I love the Animal kung fu forms

Hi Steve, I was just on your website. I remember a group in the same area teaching Choy Li Fut back in 1998. I think they were called Wu-Tan or Wu-Dan. I am very interested in how people came to learn Choy Li fut. How did you come to learn it?

[@estelamenezeslecafenoir]

amazing...thank you so much for share the honor of learning kung fu! infinite gratitude!

[@maduroholdings]

I’m A big fan of choy lay fut Did a lot of it when I was younger It’s been years but I have been wanting to get back to doing one or two forms again to add to my routine

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Thats good to hear.

[@martincroucher7932]

I would give anything for a set of downloadable DVDs with the full curriculum. Your kung fu is outstanding.

[@EduBoSi7454]

Greetings, Sifu Willcott , I have a doubt about this form, what's the speed required for it? Slow? fast? Or are there some parts slow and other fast like in Shaolin five animals form? Thank you.

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

While it's true that the snake style of Kung Fu is typically slower and the crane style is faster, it's important to note that both styles can benefit from training at different speeds. Training the crane style slow can actually help improve your technique and form, allowing you to execute the moves more accurately and efficiently. This can then translate into greater speed and power when performing the techniques at a faster pace. Similarly, practicing the snake style at a faster pace can help develop your speed and agility, which are important attributes for effective martial arts combat. Ultimately, the key to mastering any Kung Fu style is to practice consistently and with focused attention to detail. Whether you're training slow or fast, it's important to remain disciplined and patient as you develop your skills and techniques over time.

@@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu Thank you very much, Sifu, I'll put your avice into practice 🙏

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

@@EduBoSi7454 always welcome to ask again anytime.

[@brittscott4673]

I personally find doing forms slow as a moving meditation to be very beneficial . It enables the practitioner to really feel the subtle aspects of the movements and the transitions between movements. It's also exceptional for harmonizing your breathing with your movement .

[@EduBoSi7454]

@@brittscott4673 Good point, thank you for your comment! 👍

[@stephenmacharia9093]

I really appreciate this video I cant wait to try it out

[@RecoveringGenius]

Wow. The CLF forms make my brain hurt. So many movements!

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Yes, there are many moves and with practice they become easy to learn.

[@yinyang5216]

How many years have you been learning?

[@Ghostdragon8420]

I'd love to see more videos

[@ronaldmccann6990]

That's amazing video. Can you video some weapons forms with applications. I like the old siu sup ji video.

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

I would like to do that, thanks for the inspiration.

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

We have one if you look through our videos. Do you mean a tutorial video for the Hook-Swords?

[@stewartward5672]

What about videoing yee Jong bot gwa kuen?

[@yinyang5216]

Which form the most advance? Hooked swords or Yee Jong?

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

We normally teach the hook swords after the Yee Jong. As one is a weapon and the other is a hand form it's best not to look at them in that way.

[@sbsingjali]

Can you make a good learning book for Kung fu learner

[@Liberate666A1]

This is all ingenious brain work - I love it 😆

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Cheers

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Your Choy Li Fut videos rock! What style of Choy Li Fut school do you focus on: Buk Sing, Hung Sing or King Mui?

[@victorwelkin9136]

Looks like Hung Sing, since that is one of his two URLs in the description.

[@shujiling213]

Excellent style

I want to learn tiger claw with you I am taekwondo player but I am interested in Kung Fu

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

If you live near Norwich, UK. Then thats easy.

[@NoToPCBS]

What would have been really great would have been examples of real world applications using an assistant / assailant

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

You're absolutely right! Demonstrating real-world applications with a partner can really bring the techniques to life and show their practicality in self-defense situations. 🐍🕊️ It helps in understanding how the movements of the snake and crane forms in Choy Li Fut can be effectively used against an opponent. Hopefully, future tutorials will include such demonstrations. It adds immense value for learners to see the art in action. 👏🥋 #PracticalApplication #ChoyLiFut

[@maherunissa5329]

Nice

[@غرايبيةعلاء]

رائع جدا😃

[@jacobhernandez1938]

I feel like practicing the movements is moving too fast for me to understand and learn

[@jaysmythe154]

Turn the playback speed down in the settings menu under the 3 vertical dots in top right corner.

[@jfgihgyu5685]

What about MMA useful

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

No, it's not MMA useful. Snake and crane are mostly eye attacks.

[@josephsnodgrass146]

Chin Nau is already a snake hand bud. No need to uncharacteristically raise your elbow that high putting you at a tactical disadvantage. There is a Cantonese word for that exact bad habit. What lineage is this from?

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Joseph, thanks for the unsolicited advice. Please post a video showing the correct elbow height for Chin Nau, it's 'tactical' advantage. What lineage do you think it's from?

[@josephsnodgrass146]

I have no idea. It doesn’t look anything like your 師父 snake. If the elbow is turned upward you are susceptible to having that arm bridged and then you are going to get your ribs broken. Especially if someone my size hit you. But you’d already know that seeing as though you are a grandmaster right? I wouldn’t dare put up a video of my Chun Nau, I’m just a regular old sifu. You know how i can tell you don’t spar or fight in any significant capacity? Those elbows would have corrected themselves. Because turning your elbows up to that extent for a defensive technique is a common no no for pretty much every Southern Style. Your 師父 doesn’t do that. Actually your 師父 snake is entirely different than this one. I have no idea what lineage it is. What lineage are you telling people it is?

How do I even know your a real kung fu master none of your movements look familiar?

[@Choy-Li-Fut-Kung-Fu]

Well you don't. Why would any moves look familiar?

[@jaysmythe154]

I can verify after watching his chin na vids, he is a master, investigate.

[@dennisdavis816]

You never show the form all the way through in an unbroken chain. This would make it better to learn the form. Also breaking it up into segments to learn each day would be a big plus

[@DingoIguana]

Dennis Davis A little too much to ask for a free video, in my opinion

[@旡明旡旡]

SuFu, Sorry, Choi Lee Fut...Snake Form, Only the Walking Steps or Running Steps not like Snake's Body Forms, You are Not Snake, Sorry, Crane Form only the Legs, Foots and Walking Steps not the Body of Crane Form, You are not Crane, Right, How to Learn from Crane as like Crane's Body's Moving. Very Very Sorry, SuFu, I Dont know KungFu.
