The Gatekeeper - Documentary Interview with Ip Chee Keung

[@hashbrownist]

Wow, I get a kind of sense of awe for the history and legacy of the system and the grandmaster from this interview, very well done, thank you very much to Zoltan and his Sifu Ip Chee Keung for putting this together for everyone :)

[@ChowGar]

Thank you Rowan! 🙏 It is not easy to sit down with him and talk this way but I hope I will have the opportunity to make sikilqr videos with him.

[@petrossidiropoulos4232]

The Gatekeeper speaks as an honest and modest person , it is important that you give him voice through the channel, very well done. The editing is great, very professional in my opinion. The problem with people not having patience unfortunately is universal, but on the other hand now the entire world can be reached by you through the internet. I understand thet change is difficult but bricks and mortar don't make traditions or history, the passing of knowledge does. My deepest respect to the gatekeeper.

[@ChowGar]

Thank you Petros 🙏 we try not just spread his teachings but give him soke soace where he can express his thoughts. Keeping alive this tradition is kot juat his goal but now ours as well.

there's no such thing as chow gar, all real spm people know this and it's not a mis pronunciation , there is only Chu Gar, The great supposed grand master of this system , Stole the system after his teacher died and changed the name to chow gar, Then lied about his teacher saying he learned from a different master, Long story short No One in The Real China Mantis circles respects this linage and there is no GATE KEEPER which is a lie, There is Only Heirs!, Henry poo Yee Is also a Fraud but that's a Different Story.

[@leviathans5342]

Such an awesome video! I like the demonstration of the power shown when practicing chy sao with the Grandmaster. He shows no sign of struggle during the exercise, as Zoltan needs to work hard to keep up with him. That is such a testament to the true nature of the art.

[@thefool1706]

U keep hearing about shock power but I don't understand exactly what is meant by that. I would appreciate if you gave some detail to help me understand.

[@hashbrownist]

It is basically like he says in the video. When you get burned by something or get an electric shock your body can react very fast and produce a surprising amount power in a very short distance. This system trains one to be able to produce this power on demand consciously.

[@gjhj-js6dm]

Simple to say, when you touch the fire or electricity then you will draw back your hand very quick. That power is shock power. That power very strong and fast. Everybady can have it but you cannot using out at any time.

[@ChowGar]

Will try to make a video on this topic.

[@chowgarprayingmantisassoci3936]

@@gjhj-js6dm This is sometimes called "scared power" or "sneeze power" in Hakka circles. It is not shock, but shock does use this same sudden movement. Shock is something you have to develop - you are not born with it.

[@2bjjones]

That's how it is. The gatekeepers of an ancient fighting form tend to be preserved by people who aren't even from there but eventually discovered it over time. Germany is no longer the center of its own medieval and renaissance martial arts, but the Czechs are.

[@ChowGar]

We also have similar trends in Hingary. Foreigners are more interested in some cultural aspects than the locals. Maybe after some generations the trend will change.

[@HAZY96SEE]

Very sad to see the “life” changes with people that didn’t appreciate the hard way of learning. People nowadays are very weak🎭

[@ChowGar]

There are always people who appreciate this and willing to invest energy and time in learning and practising. But it is true that our lifestyle changed the approach.

Very few people will trained in Real Gung Fu! Most people want to learn sports martial arts 😏Not real, fighting for life, or death situations 😬

[@ChowGar]

@@frankmartinez4856 that is true, also real kung fu does not necessarily mean training for life and death situations, but following a method which goes beyond techniques and fancy things, just being practical, useful, impactful, deep, giving something which won’t be given by just going Ng for techniques and forms. Those alone are empty.

Everything perfect except that Sifu doesn't straighten his waist.
