[@Volgeblanc]

Love Tang Lang Quan! From a Wing Chun warrior, RESPECT!

[@digimon916]

martial artists are true heros. they show the prove the power of the human body. to see them still practicing into their later years, im never going to stop working out and try to stay active as long as i can.

[@Ryu62Alpha]

You say that, but these arts have endured the test of time for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

[@elfanthasma433]

5:36 amazing performance, powerful and graceful.

[@TheBhannah]

Awesome form !

[@mpumzimbulawa4826]

Yes PLEASE!!!!

[@NangongReng1973]

They are from Hongkong.All three exponemts were skilled practioner but not professional..And they went to China to learn more about the Praying Mantis technique. There are 2 different style,one is Northern Praying Mantis while the other is Southern Praying Mantis and they want to see what's the difference between these 2.The guys are speaking Cantonese.

[@wittytalk]

very insightful clip a little peep at the Chinese martial arts they are truly artist and also a look at their culture scenery and backround.

[@TheAllanRosario]

Your word magnificent brother, this is our way Tao ...

[@Ryu62Alpha]

Test of time for martial arts is not saying its "been around longer" but proven in battle. Karate, Taekwondo, and even Kung Fu were all battle tested styles and survive today because they work. A ring or an arena is not the ultimate test because of the limits that come with that kind of fighting. Ring fighting and battle fighting are two different things.

[@xinyiquan666]

taekwondo is BS, also karate is copy from chinese kungfu

[@ChuckJohnson]

Very cool. Really wish it had subtitles... But still, its always great to see people have mastered themselves and what they do... regardless of the martial system. Thanks for posting this!

[@neocaos]

Beautiful to see Yu Hai once again @38:30.

[@bomlolo7301]

Aloha. Looks great, fast, effective, style above most 🤜🤛

[@MattBrooks-Green]

This is a series called Kung Fu Quest. There are only two series to date. Each episode follows a different art. Thanks.

[@steppingstoneevolve]

i didnt understand a word that was said on this..... but i love it!!!

[@GungFuNanbu]

Buenisimo video, tanglang quan is great.

[@Dino-HTP-67200]

magnifique , bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sustainablesoutherngarden]

i would pay to have the subtitles added to this!

[@mauriciom8430]

Out of all these Masters the best in my opinion was the Master who taught the Staff. His moves were very practical, realistic and I have actually done some of those moves in Staff sparring.

[@evobe]

it's nice to see what looks like real fighting, it always looks so choreographed elsewehere

[@Ryu62Alpha]

Though there is merit in ring fighting, there are obviously rules and restrictions that prevent fighters from going "all out". The ring is also "safe" in a lot of ways, and the art of killing becomes a sport, and the two are very different. In a real fight your heart pumps so much faster like its about to explode, adrenaline courses through your veins, and the most important part is the flight or fight part of your brain begins firing. Most older styles condition specifically this.

Seria bem legal se os videos aqui postados estivessem legendados nas seguintes línguas: Português/Brazil, Inglês/Eua, Espanhol, com certeza muitas pessoas ficariam satisfeitas com esta atitude e colaboração, já que gostamos tanto de Wushu-Kung Fu Chinês. Muito obrigado desde já!

[@MrJaxxfunk]

Please subtitle this show, thanx

[@carlossotoalcaraz]

Guerreros hermosas técnicas desde México con amor y justicia

[@holygroove2]

Wow I guess that's mantis around 15 minutes...was wondering why the Wing Chun guys sparring before didn't use some of those mantis controls. Very interesting video!

[@antoniomarcosmaciel3587]

Belíssimo vídeo sobre Tang Lang Quan, parabéns.

[@paolocorona9151]

good. nice.

[@Brooklyn_Bleek]

so, this seems to be a chinese version of human weapon that used to air over here in the US. I miss that show.

[@Tr3nchAn0n]

Wing chun and northern mantis are two separate approaches. a student should never try to learn both at the same time. The stance and how one moves and steps are way too different. while sticking trapping and suppression is a common trait they are very very different. Mantis deals with long range first wc prefers a close game.

[@WarriorBoy]

From watching, it looked like the pink tank top guy learned the best skills, he really seemed to have a great grasp of inside fighting, which Preying Mantis is really atuned to.

[@911shan]

you'd be ripped to shreds by the time you would be able to do a successful take down on these guys DAMN!

[@kusojackakb47]

awesome!

[@232323C]

Icouldnt understand the language but it was na awesome video..I learned a lot

[@Xenon777channel]

The style of this is really cool, I like it, though I still wonder what the architecture and efficiency of mantis style is like versus boxing and Muay Thai.

[@advadhuta]

Excellent. Authentic Kung Fu. Thanks for sharing. :-)

[@diociancia]

is it only one episode or a program, which is the name?

[@chrismhp]

Depends on the application. If you're talking about sport, then yes it is a cheap shot and looked down on. If you're talking about a real struggle/survival, anything goes.

[@DeeKay1987]

Is there an english version of this documentary? Even english subtitle would be great.

[@Downhaven]

agreed!

[@satrioekowicaksono7452]

There are, search for kung fu quest praying mantis

[@TeongKeatLim]

good tang lang!

[@YaBoiKeith]

I stand corrected.

[@darthclone7]

the forms look so good, but when they start sparring it starts to look like any other street fight with added different angles of random flailing. i guess a milliion can practice this but only a few can make it practical on live sparring

[@EvosBasics]

oh shizzle, when was this shown on tv?? 2012?

[@hotpopcorncake]

I did these stance in 8step kung fu and i love these stance

[@user-or3zy2ed7t]

wish this had english subtitles :( i only know Eng and Mandarin, and my Cantonese is really bad

[@anthonysgambati3683]

Its enough to make you want to learn chinese

[@vladm6848]

4:00 i just recognize Kick boxing, nothing with mantis boxing, or what is demonstrated at 7:40 ... Why do they learn Mantis techniques if they don't use them in practice ?

[@Alexiosization]

they do use them in practice

[@Alexiosization]

TRUST ME lol! The dudes who really know how to do this stuff and how to use it in practice are Untouchable

[@rauljuarez2764]

Seria muy bueno en español 👍

[@mpumzimbulawa4826]

English subtitles...? Please!

[@232323C]

I agree

[@morna57]

god i want subtiles for this :<

[@iLcAvAlLoDiCaLiGoLa]

Am I so wrong if I find mantis more or less similar to wing chun? I've had this idea for a long time,since I've started to study shaolin/sanda. Mantis is fast and exploits short range to hit quickly many many times,at least for what I've practised...

[@wkghrs]

How do these 20-something year old guys even get a sense while training explosive power with all these skin hugging under armor shirts?

[@kaindrg]

what is the chow gar southern mantis masters name?

[@Tr3nchAn0n]

Mantis is originally Northern. Shendong wiki the history...

[@stevenjohnson4385]

thank you for treating me the way I like to be treated??????????

[@alekx58]

tai hao goa shu cong nah zhe he zai liang kyang chun tao kuang cong mo nah he

[@primalenergy]

They are, but somebody who wins in the ring will also win on the battlefield. So I don't understand your point.

[@TheAllanRosario]

This is The true Wushu Kung Fu!

[@GMHP0]

which is the chinese them at the begining ?

[@kaindrg]

what show is this?

[@lelecancook9474]

[@diegont64]

[@pianoyong]

Tang Lang Quan IS Praying Mantis BOXING

[@bexfax]

no entendi un joraka pero muy ilustrativo :D nice video

[@MrUgasguito]

Cool! Subtitles in English please!

[@jonnyperez7902]

is this mandarin or cantonese In need to learn the language\

[@cjquevedo]

cc please

[@ddnguyen278]

If were talking a street fight, the kung fu guy would win since his style is closer to the original martial arts style, muay thai is a "sport" version of the older muay boran style which is a true martial arts style which like all "martial" arts was made for mortal combat. Muay thai have most of the locks and death blows taken out of it, which kung fu still has so, imo.

[@tranglomango]

entire OST of kung fu hustle

[@jhon7416]

You can! Never Sorry.

[@PsyMike3d]

subtitles please!!!!

[@JohnHenryNhammer]

uh.... Closed captions in English, please! Thanks.

[@xfeilongx]

eng subs please !! thx for upload : )

[@EnglandsBangersNmash]

cool

[@Demandred02]

I did not know that is considered cowardly in kung fu? From my experience hitting the genitals is a vital tactic.

[@eduramm]

jaja no entendí nada pero está muy bueno!!!

[@EnglandsBangersNmash]

nice video but the guys sparing in the beginning lol..would get knocked pretty quick

[@supasye]

oh my.... terrible fighting.

[@ArnoutDeVos]

then you do it!

[@iljano20]

enlish substitles if you want thumbs up :P

[@volikoto]

i want an English!!!!

[@mariooo88]

Fight starts at 44:54

[@andymangaka]

What? No SuYuChang?

[@Niccomawf]

If you're already trying to kill someone, I don't see why you would should avoid hitting the genitals. Not that they're actually trying to kill each other but they are attempting to safely simulate it.

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

Beware of smiling Masters.

[@Golden_Arm_Bey357]

english translation, plz!!!!!!

[@angelogamer1]

Lion Rafale....virtua fighter! xD

[@paolaothe]

if kung fu realy figth with muay thai, which one will win ? i watch alot of muay thai fight with karate and takekowdo and 95 % is muay thai win

[@supasye]

that's fine. It doesnt even have to be that great if its targeting untrained offensives then does it.

[@spinsaw]

that's not funny that actually puts extra power in your strikes not only that its good for when your striking your not only striking your leaving your body tensed therefore if your opponent counter attacks you your body is in defense mode without you having to do anything

[@FamilyQuan]

You wouldn't want a slap from one of these guys - it'd be like a giant insect hitting you!

[@bigj168]

I'm sorry,I can't!

[@georgetrusty7696]

No camera special effects in my video unlike this one

[@sjontellegrimes]

why hard to havefriends

[@primalenergy]

Nice video and great to see people enjoying something with a passion. But its the same problem I always see with Kung Fu sparring. No defence, chin exposed and all attack attitude. No footwork just moving backwards with the chin exposed. Its a shame because if more attention was given to these things Kung Fu would be much more effective. I coached and trained San shou for ten years and this lack of head movement and linear footwork was the biggest problem I ever dealt with.
