[@parikshitsingh649]

Hey.. don’t sell this fake shit by using name of grandmaster huang. And this man is all fake. He can’t even generate force through movements. And just look at his funny form.. he is just a joker.

Awesome stuff! I really enjoyed seeing these roots of Okinawan Karate 🥋 Keep up the heat! 🔥

Jesse Enkamp thank you! It’s an honor to see you here in the comments section I’m a big fan of your videos 🙏👍🥋 You’ll be happy to hear that I have another feature on White Crane coming soon, that very much resembles Okinawa Karate.

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

Ville-Pekka Turpeinen that’s not necessarily true as there are several different styles of White Crane. The next White Crane system I will feature on my channel looks very similar to Okinawan Karate and the Sam Chien form is performed almost identically.

[@CraneHandTigerSpirit]

I like the look of this White Crane, looks like there are a lot of practical movements and concepts to learn. Its always refreshing when a master is realistic about size and strength, more of a skeptic instead of believing in so much mysticism.

White Crane is a great art to learn. I hope you can find a teacher to study with.

私の大きなペニスを吸う White Crane/Crying Crane is extremely powerful when done right.......now as far as the deadliest I can’t say but his white crane is not powerful Same goes for master Liu Chang he’s not good at all .....this art is basically dead me being Chinese and seeing extremely powerful White Crane Practitioners when I was very young in Manhattan Chinatown these famous crane teachers are an embarrassment to the White Crane ...One white crane practitioner is still around in Chinatown haven’t seen him in a while he makes all these people look like a clown in comparison

Love the episode. I like this teacher's way of thinking. He doesn't take everything from his own teachers for granted.

[@davidwilliams4837]

Beautiful system. Interesting because there is a link to Taiji with the White Crane. Wing Chun uses similar movements but from "center". Here the movements are sinking and rooting/ground movements. Done by this mechanism it "spreads" more and "settles". Cool how each idea changes the structure and movement. He is an amazing teacher. Intriguing. Thank you.

[@trym2121]

Taiji has a form called white crane spread its wings. That's the tribute for crane based kungfu.

[@locojazz5770]

This was so informative. Thank you for not constantly interrupting Grandmaster . He was teaching me a lot about the “root” (Qi) which helps my understand of my journey in Martial Art.

[@perrypelican9476]

This guy is great. Very focused on efficiency. He must be a fantastic teacher. No ego. Teachers with big egos hold back because they want to be cool. I would have loved to learn from him. And he speaks English. I wonder if he teaches a lot of westerners. If not he should know that he could be very successful outside of China. Or maybe he loves China too much. I wouldn't blame him. So far I am impressed by this guy the most of all the ones you spoke to in video. Your videos are incredible. You are introducing the world to magic, well by magic I mean another level of what we can accomplish from within ourselves. Something given to us, or available for us to use. Every human would benefit greatly from learning to control our internal energy. It's there for us to use to improve our quality of life. I wonder if it's only the Chinese who discovered the energy of chi. Do you know of other cultures far from China and not effected by Chinese influences that learned how to use internal energy. We want techniques to minimize the amount of time needed to learn it. I am trying to find a system that will help me to get at that internal power without spending time first on fighting techniques. I think the internal stuff is much more important and learning to use it to fight is optional. I want it for a better life, not necessarily for fighting. I think that once you harness that energy, you can use it for anything in life, all around better health and happiness. Can you direct me

[@Alk1313]

The roots of goju- ryu karate is white crane style. Thank you for the awesome content!

Very good interview and demonstration. The teacher also didn't hesitate talking about what he thought about the systems he watched demonstrated by some masters in the beginning and thought it was fake but then after practicing really got to understand those systems.

If this video had been little beyond his explanations and that initial form I would also have been skeptical, but when he demonstrated how having a 'soft' body generates explosive power, it all started to make a lot more sense.

I therefore came into a point that these Kung Fu remains as a dance art which is artistic to watch or even spiritual and the fighting aspect of which is Junk... slap to the face you guys must accept the truth... In fact, in historical China the last emperor Pu Yi even once believe himself as the son of Gods... he went on with that delusion of power until the truth slap him cold directly unto his face!

Thanks for sharing. How was your experience traveling and meeting with masters?

[@poorkwamoi]

@@THEMARTIALMAN it was quite an experience. Because during that time, UFC was in its infancy and it shook up a lot of foundation. I was actually both intrigued by it as well as wanting to know if it truly was the best martial art in the world. I guess you could say I was conflicted. I didn't wanted to know that my karate/kung fu/boxing/judo wasn't good enough to beat BJJ/GJJ. And I remembered my Kung Fu teachers (two of them) telling me that Kung Fu in the states are crap. Only a few are legit. So, they sent me to Hong Kong and Singapore, then I went to Thailand and Phillipines then to China to the Shaolin and Heinan and Heibei. Founds San Hauang Zhai (But it wan't built back then like it is now). Found Xin-Yi-Ba, Bajiquan, Bagua, Xin-Yi, Liu-he-Quan, Bai-He, Wu-Xin, Pigua, Liu-he Tanglang and others. too many, found some bad "masters" found a few masters. Missed out on Chen Taiji but met Wu Taiji master (not Wu from Hong Kong but Wu from the Wu-Yu-Shian lineage). Did some Muay Thai IN China. They called it Thai Quan but it was done with Chinese Tonics and modifications. That was near Southern China. Went to learn Shaui-Jiao but was only for a few days. So I kind of just dabbled here and there because of time and finances. It was a week here, and week there. And I wanted to write books on them one day. But you know, youtube came out and there is you to do all of that. LOL I want to one day go and learn Daito-Ryu Aiki-jit-su and go to Okinawa and learn Goju and traditional karate as well as see the White Crane lineage myself there. that would be a big maybe. I am 52 now,not as ambitious as I used to be. I am grateful for your travels and insights. Keep it coming..

Today students don't even spend 5 mins in the basic Wing Chun stance. They see things in an external way with frame but they cannot be blamed for that`s the job of a patient master to guide them. If they had the patience they would learn as this video pointed out rooting is a key point in energy expression. First to sink the Chi then direct it up and out freely through the hand.

[@jadekayak01]

Very good....now lets see you use it against xu xaidong!

[@TruthTellert63]

So far, Xiaodong has only fought men who are either 40 years older and/or 40 to 100 lbs lighter. (I'm exaggerating the "age" part, but not by much.) It's also a fact that his (mis)matches are happening at a time when the UFC is attempting to expand its presence in China (and when a batch of "wins" -- however orchestrated -- will help to raise MMA's profile). Coincidence? Probably not. If Xu ever fights someone close to his same age & weight, it may actually prove something about the skill of MMA practitioners as compared to TMA practitioners. What's occurred so far, however, only proves that MMA fans are as gullible (maybe moreso) than the TMA fans they routinely insult.

[@TruthTellert63]

@@davidwilliams4837 Indeed. What bothers me most is that a lot of MMA fans eat up his matches like candy -- never applying any critical thinking whatsoever. (I had argument with one who said something to the effect of "Dude...he tossed his opponent around like a rag doll." My response was "that's understandable, since he outweighed him by close to 100 lbs. With that big a weight difference, skill can't really be compared; the only thing it proves is that weight classes exist for a reason." He wasn't convinced.)

[@TruthTellert63]

@Pandamansleep Thanks for the information -- I appreciate it. That was a much more valid, legitimate match than the others I've seen Xu engage in; I think he only outweighed Nagashima by 15 lbs/7kg. I don't wish to be too hard on him, as he's obviously skilled and "solid as a rock." He just needs to be matched with opponents close to his own weight class, so that it's an actual comparison of skills/arts -- not just him overwhelming them with his size.

[@BullsEye]

Very interesting! Martial Man, I was wondering what style you practice and also if you had try learning these skills that we see here as they seem to be common to all those Kung Fu masters: song, fa Jin, etc...

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

Thank you for the comment. Yes, after 10+ years of Wing Chun, moving to Thailand to train and compete in Muay Thai and training in grappling (BJJ), I began my journey into the internal arts (Yang family Taiji) around 2 years ago. In the last 6 months, I would say that I've made my most significant jump in skill. 'Song' is an essential part of the internal arts, and in all honesty, it's impossible to know what 'Song' actually is until you can do it.

[@jameskeyes4988]

@@THEMARTIALMAN You may feel that you started internal training too late in life and perhaps regret, however I don't think so. You other styles gave you practical fighting skills which most soft styles (honestly) don't train much. With a background in fighting and application, you can think more about the internal skills and try to figure out how to make them into your reality. People who just train internal styles without some fighting background lack this perspective. Of course, there are some styles who still train to fight, but most don't.

Even though i had personal experience with the Master and an involvement with MA's from age 10, it took 17 years of Huang's system and a total 22 years including another Yang system to experience the power of Song emerge.Now at nearly 42 years of practise I can deliver that power at will. But here's the best thing, there is no end to learning. Keep humble, and doing what you do, and never forget humour is the balance to seriousness.

Can you post something about So Chan's school" it's in GuangDong. I do not know who's the current master because they move a lot. But this grand master was famous for fighting with improvised weapons.

Incredible!

Is the sound add behind every punch or its real

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

100% real. I don't add sound effects to my interviews.

Whats the instrument or song on the end seems like an harp?

[@azlaroc12]

Subtle internal/external skill. Ting Chin, nian chin and whole body fa ching. He has Gung Fu. Thank you.

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

He certainly does have Gongfu! Thanks for the comment

Love it... Adding to what I've already learned

[@TheBlueRage]

Ever seen an MMA fight get stopped by accidental eye poke. Imagine if it was done purposely with force.

[@nyclee9133]

Definitely they always stop the fight 😂

Ahhh after so many days a video from my favourite...the martial man!! And wonderful stuff as usual...i never knew the white crane, which i presume is a southern style, has so much of tai chi in it🙂

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

Buddhaditya Padhi Whooping Crane is a southern Shaolin art, and was the style practiced by Master Huang Sheng Shyan before he began Taiji. Master’s Huangs Taiji is therefore a conglomeration of Fujian white crane and Taijiquan.

Question, why not move to the side, and aim for the ear to throw off his balance that way you move out of his line of attack and throw off his power???+++

Marvelous
