Thank you for revisiting Wushu again and for continuing to be being open-minded! 🙂 0:02 Cameo by US Wushu Team member, collegiate Wushu champion and Pan American silver medalist Queenie Li, who also served as a fellow ENG Team member I was part of at the HYX 16th World Wushu Championships (footage courtesy of Matthew Choi aka Blue Hippo Films)! 1:10 Just a quick clarification, the modern Wushu Taolu (套路； tàolù, forms) apparatuses are derived from the four popular Chinese weapons in most Chinese martial arts styles, dao (刀； dāo, saber/broadsword), gun (棍；gùn, staff), jian (劍； jiàn, sword/straight sword) and qiang (枪； qiāng, spear), including Choy Li Fut (蔡李佛; càilǐfó) which is a traditional southern Chinese martial arts style, however most modern Wushu techniques and movements were standardized from the northern Chinese martial arts styles that include, but are not limited to, Chaquan (查拳; cháquán), Huaquan (華拳; huáquán; Flower Fist), Hongquan (紅拳; hóngquán; Red Fist), and Piguaquan (劈挂拳; pīguàquán, Chop-Hanging Fist) or Piguazhang (劈挂掌; pīguàzhǎng, literally “chop-hanging palm”). 5:35 Jiayou Hope!!!

Choy Li Fut looks a little more like a Northern style than other Southern styles do. One thing I always look for is the spear. In the Northern styles the left hand is in front and in the Southern styles the right hand is in front. There are exceptions, but that's one way to spot the difference.

@namedjasonc 3 ай бұрын

I practiced Choy Li Fut for about a decade, I appreciate the callout! Flexible weapons like the chain whip are great for training sensitivity where you learn how to read the way that the weapon wants to move and how to guide it into the flow that you want it to be in. It's easy to "muscle" a sword into whatever swing you want it to be in, but doing so means you're fighting against the weapon and so are spending more energy to do less; the lessons that you take from the flexible weapons apply to every weapon you might pick up!

@danlewis7707 3 ай бұрын

People bag on these types of martial arts because they have many elements of dance and gymnastics. These are seen as feminine and consequently of a lesser worth as they are not focused on more practical matters like dealing out destruction and death. However, this outlook is like the person who says that poetry and horticulture aren't important and then also wants to find someone to love them. Life is not meant to be separated into shards and sections where some are meritorious and others are not. All of life's experiences from pain to grief to embarrassment to hope and joy; from birth to life and death, all forms of life; from the seed to the mighty oak, from the sword to the rake from the stone to the mountain. All life has purpose and meaning. One simply has to be open to discovery and not rush to judge without experience. Seth understands this.

Really liked what you said in the end. Form competitions and the such always get trashed and kinda thrown to the side, but can easily be harder than sparring sometimes. I do like hearing when sparring athletes talk about how hard forms can be, tho. If you prefer to put some gear and possibly get kicked to the face, over doing some forms while being judged because it's too hard, then that means that forms athletes are not slacking.

@johndough8115 3 ай бұрын

The extremely long pole, was using in China, to pull boats along the River / Shallow waters. These long poles ended up being used for combat, as they were widely available. Wing Chun adopted their use... as they hid many of their Rebellion fighters on Traveling Performer's Boats. These Junks (boats) carried "Chinese Oprah" troup performers. The Chinese Oprah is a combination of crazy Acrobatics, Mock Martial Arts battles, Storytelling, and a special kind of Singing. FYI - The long poles in this class, seemed to be way too Thin. The real longpoles, are like 1.75" thick, at the rear of the Pole. The pole has a very long "Taper", getting thinner and thinner... until you get to the Tip. I believe the tip is like that of a Pool Stick. About a fingers thickness. The real longpoles are made from a very dense hardwood, and are a lot heavier than a typical staff. The extra length also takes a lot more strength to wield them... as the extra length causes a "Leverage" effect, which amplifies the mass effect of the pole. This pole is not just used for combat... but also, for many different strength building exercises. As for the 9 Section Steel Whip Chain... they come in different forms. The kind you were holding, was made for high speed performance... not for Combat. The combat versions, use Thicker and Heavier Steel. The Whip Chain, functions very similarly to the Rope Dart... So once you master the basic moves of the Whip... you can also do the basic moves of the Rope Dart. However, the Rope Dart is exponentially more challenging, in the many other ways that it can be wielded. Many more complex "Tricks". And if you think getting hit by the whip chain hurts... ooh man... a real combat grade rope dart mass... is a whole other level of pain. I had my home-made rope dart mildly brush my kneecap... and I was done for the day. Luckily, it was moving at a slow speed... when it nicked my knee. Twirling it around your head (neck wrapping), was Infinitely more scary, than doing it with the Whip Chain. Of course, both of these Flexible Weapons, use very similar principles to the Chucks. So, its good to learn the Chucks first, then the Whip Chain, and then maybe the 3 Section Staff... finishing with the Rope Dart, as last. The Weapons of Wushu, are made with "Spring Steel". Its a very thin, lightweight, and flexible steel. They can not be used for actual Combat. The real Chinese weapons, are made from "Combat Steel" (High Carbon). They have some degree of flex... but nothing like spring steel. The real combat grade weapons, like the Jian (Double Edged Sword).. uses two different kinds of steel. The external steel is a low carbon "Mild Steel". Mild steel is semi flexible, so as to be able to take heavy impacts without shattering. However... Mild Steel cant hold a sharp edge, and dulls very quickly. The center core of a combat grade Jian, is made with High Carbon steel. This steel isnt very flexible... and on its own, Could easily shatter.. when struck heavily with another weapon. However... High Carbon steel can sharpen to a RAZORS edge (shaving level of sharpness)... and it can hold that sharp edge, for a very long time. In essence, the Jian is like a Pencil. A pencils wood cant hold a sharp point... but the graphite core, can be sharped to a medical needle like point. The graphite core is brittle on its own.. but the flexible wood, protects the graphite core from shattering. The Jian is fairly thin... but its still a little thicker than you might expect. To reduce the weight... they often put long grooves into the blade. Ive heard these are called "Blood Grooves", and are supposed to help keep blood from sticking to the blade / getting all over the sword wielder. I believe they also used the Tassel cloth, to help with that too. The Chinese Broadswords, have a rear "Spine" that is similar in thickness, to a Samurai sword (probably a CM thickness). However, the Chinese Broadswords have a much wider blade... which likely makes them much heavier than a Samurai sword.

@johnmccormick9991 24 күн бұрын

Thanks to John Dough for this excellent explanation. A couple things I would add. I was told that the blood grooves in swords were so your weapon didn't get stuck in an enemies body. It needed to come out quickly. Also real weapons force you to get down in your stance and will enhance stength in combat motions. Not as flashy, but functional. I'd love to see Seth do a comparison vid.

@johndough8115 24 күн бұрын

@@johnmccormick9991 Thanks for the reply. I wouldnt doubt, that less surface area, would help in removal friction. However, I also think it would aid in Draining the OPs pressurized blood, out of their bodies. Sort of like a Hypodermic Needle being injected into you... and the blood spurting out of the other end of it. Also, without reading my former reply to check the details... The removal of steel nearest the thickest edges of a blade, can remove a lot of additional mass... without effecting the overall strength of the blade (that much). As far as Lowered Stances goes... That really should not have anything much to do with Weapon Specific training. Lowered stances, are a critical part of all Chinese combat training. The lower your stance, the more Stable you become... due to a lowered center of gravity. In Wing Chun, which is my main art of study... My main stance has my knees, directly over the top of my toes... AT ALL TIMES. Many others whom practice Wingchun, often stand improperly, with fully straightened legs/knees. This makes them pretty easy to Uproot / move around / Take-down.. etc. It also makes all of their arm based interactions, much Weaker, as a result. In WC (and many other systems)... the bent knees, are actually designed to act like Shock-Absorbers. This helps reduce initial impact forces with the OP, that would otherwise easily cause you to rise up off of your heels, and be moved around. You can also re-direct energy down into the ground, much better, with semi-bent knees. Finally.. What is considered Flashy, is sort of a case of Opinion. Some might say, that if they see a movie where the OP is taken out realistically within 2 movements (and less than 2 seconds), that its not "Flashy" enough. While others might feel, that if a fighter is able to take out 5 attackers all at the same time... in less than 6 seconds... that its far more realistic, and thus, seemingly far more "Flashy". There are many whom still might prefer to see the Older style of martial arts films, like Bloodsport, where the movements are painfully too slow, unrealistic, and one-dimensional... merely because the characters facial expression are far more Emotive / Emotionally charged (and being that they are often not marital artists, its easier to understand the interactions). Where as... the faster moving, and more complex, Hong Kong action films... Like "IP Man", "Man of Tai Chi", and "Fearless" ... are far more interesting / flashy, to me (albeit, that most often... these films "Hits" are represented as being way too Weak.. so that the fight scenes end up being much longer). Anyway... the deepest of stances (Horse, Arrow, etc).. are also often not really fully understood, nor applied correctly. For example... When I sparred against a fighter that knew what he was doing... He started out in something like a bow stance... and as I charged forwards with an handstrike, he morphed into a cat-stance, while at the same time... countering my attack with his arm deflection tech. At that point, I was nearly nose-to-nose with him.. and he basically stepped right though me, using a heavy Palmstrike... which impacted heavily, uprooted me, and sent me flying like 12 to 15 feet away from him... crashing to the ground, and gasping for air. These Stances are not Static. They are very "Transitional" ...and are connected to the coordination, with your interception and attack technologies. As that particular fighter explained to me... He basically said that the stances are designed to Expand and Contract, energy. Then he showed me physically, how each of the stances, in concert with his hand techs, represented the Contraction and Expansion principles.

At least for the southern styles (Choy Lay Fut, Hung Gar) the weapons are important to understanding the hand-to-hand techniques.

Kevin Lee can explain the Wing Chun use of the long pole better probably, but my understanding is that 1) the long pole focuses on a lot of the same centerline principles as Wing Chun, 2) Wing Chun comes from the river trade and port cities of southern China and these long poles were readily accessible as they were used to push and guide the skiffs, and 3) the pole translates to spear, which was the primary weapon for commoners who might be drafted into the army.

Somehow this explains why fight choreography in Hong Kong-action films generally is not alike that seen in Western films. Of course there is overlap in what makes good fight scene, but this seems to be foundation of that style. Sensei Seth showed both his lack of experience on this particular form and his magnificent willingness to learn everything useful.

Sticks are cool, sticks with metal at the end are even cooler

Congrats on being open minded enough to try Chinese Weaponry. Many instructors have removed weaponry from the curriculum, mostly because they don't want to dedicate the time and effort required to learn the traditional 18 weapons. Martial Arts is about personal development. Each weapon has different characteristics and you grow as a person when you overcome these challenges. Your body type looks like you would be good at Hung Gar, you should try that next.

I was always told in wing chun the poles are long because originally they use to have a spearheads on which were used to knock soldiers off of horses, eventually they were changed because they discovered they were a good weapon to use to keep distance for defence. I would love to see you at the long pole (no homo)
