I love kung-fu but when ever I see a kung fu fighter in a competition, I never see these movements. It's always kick boxing. I'd love to see these movements used in real time contact.

[@thetruemorg]

I really liked your navigation around asking questions about breathing and around the facial expression. It's one of those kind of underrated informational things that really gives you this other kind of feel about form practice and definitely the connection to karate. Love these videos thank you so much

[@blockmasterscott]

I cannot stress enough just how much I have been enjoying this.

[@JKDVIPER]

Yes.. Madame Wing-Chun is derived or based on “Snake (bui gee) “Crane (FOOK-SAO) subduing hands) and “Mantis being 400 years old it’s no surprise that GUA CHOY back fist and the CHEUNG CHOY YUT GEE HAMMER both are used in those arts I mentioned.. the word flying hammer is found all the way back to the MING DYNASTY .. red boat opera was studying those arts.. in fact PAK SAO is found in MANTIS and WING CHUN .. BONG SAO too.. the idea was to develop some basic but effective tools without all the looking cool or like an animal

[@mizukarate]

As a Karate Guy I appreciate this.

[@hotlanta35]

What was the name of the White Crane form he did near the start?

[@franckherrmannsen7903]

You´ve got an awesome channel here, keep up the good work please.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Thank you so much!

13:33 on the right side of the screen two stone blocks - are those for training? Chinese stone locks? i noticed also the rings! Would be interesting to find about the strength and conditioning training they do. Thank you.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Yea, he had a bunch of traditional weight training equipment in the school

[@noriking1467]

Hi, great fan of your works, may i ask if we can see different style of sanda and chinese style wrestling from different province in your channel ? That would be so cool if you did that ! I think u will be the first to do that !!! e.g. if i am not wrong shandong sanda team is famous for its boxing

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Well, it would take a lot of planning and time to pull off. Let see....

[@liamcognet]

Who is in the photos at 02:48? Is it Pan Yuba and Lin Shixian?

[@Livingtree32]

I found it cute, how he suddenly started "in Minnanhua we call this XYZ" 😁 Seems like a nice guy with good gongfu. Thanks again for the interesting videos!

[@anorton1409]

Did you also record Teacher Pan’s Shi San Tai Bao form? I see he’s demonstrating some applications in the video

[@JKDVIPER]

Ya, he’s brilliant

[@thunderflower7998]

Congratulation to the team and you for bringing us such diamonds! Am I wrong in believe the wing chun connection to the crane style is just like grand father to grand son?

[@LoneWolf.79]

Thank You!!! 🙏😊👍

[@jwong3818]

Awesome video. Stay safe and healthy!

[@benjones1717]

I don't know if it's said somewhere but looks like (ancestor of?) wing chun.

[@edwardstanulevich1764]

Ben Jones White Crane is the mother of many styles. Wing Chun is one of them. Some consider Wing Chun to be a branch of White Crane.

[@pancho43]

Yong Chun is the Mandarin pronunciation for Wing Chun, so to explain it, a Chinese man from Hong Kong would call this whole village (where this is filmed) Wing Chun/Weng Chun because the Chinese Characters are spoken that way in Cantonese. So to me it's obvious where the Gung Fu stile of Wing Chun which was practiced by Ip Man and given to Bruce Lee came from. White Crane was created by a woman AND Wing Chun/Yong Chun was also created by a woman?!?! Coincidence? I don't think so. It's probably the same origin that was mixed up with some legends and made up stories.

[@edwardstanulevich1764]

@@pancho43 Some martial historians think the woman may have actually been one of the male actors who played the female parts in the Chinese red boat opera troupes. The issue is that traditional Chinese culture was less concerned with historical accuracy and more concerned with using stories to legitimize their lineage and inspire people to their cause.

[@phuongtrangdo]

Omg, thank you for this great ep. Really like the breathing parts and facial form.

[@Charlie-te2tt]

Sanzhan shares plenty with the shotokan Hangetsu - worth rewatching the video especially now that has clicked.

[@daviderusso1238]

More the other form, Sh'r San Tai Bau. It's one of the direct ancestor of Seisan/Hangetsu.

[@daviderusso1238]

I like the type of dan tuishou of this school, with hand grab. And in general, I have seen a more relaxed way (internal?) to pratice Baihequan than other branches. Is it right or not? Thank you.:)

[@teovu5557]

@@daviderusso1238 Shrsan Tai Bao looks nothing like Seisan/Hangetsu. "Sanzhan,Shisan,Sanshiliu,shiba and 108 etc etc are all generic names for hundreds of unrelated forms. They are common numbers linked to Buddhism btw. now Fujian Lohan Quan's form exspecially Sanzhan looks more like karate. Look it up on youtube you'll be amazed.

[@martinpaulwatts]

Thanks for making this lovely clip of training with appropriate translations. Good to see the time spent filming this and just letting it run giving your subjects time to "breathe" so that you get a feel for the training , the place, the humility , the freshness and the open-ness of the masters without a pre-concieved idea or an summary of understanding based on a tiny bit of time with them. All of this is a small part of the whole but you have in many ways cut to the chase. Thoughtful BBC style documentary rather than wizz bang CNN style sound bites! -

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

I think you really hit the nail on the head with what Im going for. Just show them “as is”, without hype or mystery.

[@senecaknowsbest8380]

Nice to learn that there are still some authentic chinese boxers remaining in China considering the purges during the “cultural revolution”. Some of the great ones migrated to Taiwan.

[@davidk8938]

wow really had many resemblance with karate, I thought before that karate inspired by baji quan only.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Dont think Baji had anything to do with Karate

[@davidk8938]

​@@MonkeyStealsPeach really ? I see, I heard some rumor about it, it`s not true then.

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

Baji is from northern China in a region that would have been near impossible for Okinawans to visit. Karate is from a mixture of various styles in Fujian

[@davidk8938]

[@terryjoshua8787]

What are the two main streams of Kung Fu. I know White Crane is one. What's the other??

[@MonkeyStealsPeach]

That influenced Karate? Luohan Quan is the other one mentioned in the Bubishi but Id imagine there are a whole range of styles that also has some influence. It seems overly simplistic to say Karate is just from these two

[@senecaknowsbest8380]

Very rare to see applications being shown. Was under the impression the government didn’t allow it.

[@JKDVIPER]

I literally teach those same hands in my JKD (jeet kune do) which is the high level of WING CHUN

[@eyes2338]

But don't you want to learn MMA or BJJ?.

[@mooselee902]

This guy doesnt have it, theres no nei kung there

[@martinpaulwatts]

I am suprised at your ability to percieve internal work from a youtube clip - May be you associate the nei gong with external movement? In some systems the whole point is to minimise that connection so that it is not visible ( unless you are naked of course ). Where are you based?
