Uniforms are also a way of showing solidarity with your classmates and martial discipline to your master and system of fighting. In many martial arts, they also take on spiritual significance. Your uniform becomes a symbol, your belt a mark of pride and honor. Many schools just see it as another source of income, true, but others still teach how traditional trappings influence our learning and teach us history. There's nothing wrong with not wearing one, but they have a significance for many.
man this video looks old, probably before bruce came and showed alot of these guys that those old style sets look very nice, but don`t work very well :(.
@MikeyItes sorry to have to break it to you but Lee never did anything such as that and he often spoke of traditional arts as gateways to greater knowledge.And yeah they do work if you know your art well enough.
@taoshyr Get it right man, Bruce didn`t have to say anything about it, just see the man in Game of Death and you`ll know what i`m getting at. And i am sorry to have to break it to you, but THIS STUFF DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. わかりますか？
this is why i left kung fu, too much emphasis on forms and not much on cultivating genuine kung fu ability. the only styles of kung fu that work are probably the internal kung fu, because they teach principles rather than ramming useless flower moves down your throat.
@israelifaggot some styles still teach the old kung fu skills. My style includes both internal and external skill. The training isn't glamorous, but it brings results.
@developyourqi, yeah, internal power is real kung fu. i think ultimately all styles of kung fu, even if they are external have internal training at some point, but before you get to that stage many systems make you learn long stupid useless forms with flowery moves, when really to begin kung fu you should not move at all. you should stand still in meditation and build qi. you must learn to stand before you can walk.
eu não consigo entender uma coisa, eles fazem movimentos lindos, mas não funciona na vida real, então pra aprender? Quando vão pra um campeonato MMA ou no antigo vale tudo, nunca usam o que aprendem, não se vê nenhuma dessas posições, partem pra chutes e socos comuns, então pra que aprender o que não se usa, é como Bruce Lee mesmo dizia: tire o que não for essencial. Se funciona, porque no ringue não se ve nada disso, realidade e fantasias...

Strange kicking techniques. I know they work because I've been kicked by them before. The hand techniques are really brutal, too. The kicks look alot different when not being applied against a target.
why in the world would you limit your technique to just one animal =_= mixing all five allows you to flow better and its a lot harder for you opponent to counter
I like the idea of mastering one animal versus five. I understand the logic behind having more weapons in the arsenal but one technique can take a life time to master. Just my opinion.
agreed. its just not practical or effective to learn endless forms and techniques. better to master the things that you feel comfortable and stick with it, otherwise you will feel bogged down in a fight
@Ceosan It depends on your timeframe. That is true for a beginner, but over many years the purpose of learning the forms is to become formless, infinitely adaptable to the situation. The problem is that most students never progress beyond the beginner stage and they get bogged down in the form.
@developyourqi you can become formless without learning forms. it seems silly to me that people think that. so you pick a tool set that you feel comfortable with. its about split second responses, and those will be the ones you are comfortable with. waste of a lifetime learning everything when it is better to capitalize on your natural reflex and optimize those instead of learning endless funky dance moves. why train for ten years when you can get the same results in one year?
@Ceosan you will never get the same effects of ten years of training in one year... repetition and dedication is the only way you'll get good in a martial arts... and maybe forms arnt the best way of becoming a great fighter but martial arts isnt just about learning to fight... if you want to do that then go do mma... martial arts is also about keeping a tradition, i do a kung fu which nearly died out and thanks to the dedication of my instructors our club has over 70 members and we are growing
@Ceosan When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail. It is true you can become formless without forms - I have seen some students do this very well, but most need structure to begin with.
What system is this, who is the Master, and where are they located? I'm very interested in the fact that they do forms with just animal techniques! As said many styles use punches and various animals in forms that are supposed to be 1 animal! The fact that there animal forms are traditional in keeping just 1 animal and no other stuff is rare!
@seidi619 ; I can read but if you say shaolin tiger my question is at what school have you learned it? And have you actually learned it from a master or just one of those ''fabricated'' masters that were essentially picked out by the chinese.
@seidi619 ; Try to find a traditional kung fu school rather than a shaolin school. There are some good shaolin schools but it's hard to distinguish the real ones from the fakes. In traditional kung fu there's a lot less bullshitting around from what I've noticed. And the forms are much like in the above video.
In fact most of the movements in the above video are the same as what I've learned. But the performance is insane. I Wish I had his explosive power and swiftness.
This is amazing, I began kung fu training in 1992 in a style that was called Nature Fist Boxing and I was taught this exact leopard form in that year.
the gov has fucked up real kung fu turned it into circus play
imagine if everyone knew how to kill someone the gov would be in deep shit and get assasinated so they destroy what the real kung fu is about and turn it into circus
It's not exactly how you think. Dalu martial arts are actually very good, just de-fanged (which I don't like). The government is not worried about being overthrown by skilled individuals (as anyone can kill). They are much more worried about the anti-government activity of the old clans that taught kung fu, so they wanted to nationalize, standardize, and control the practice. The de-fanging resulted from the desire to turn martial arts into a sport/cultural art, rather than a fighting form.
Quite brilliant, sharp angles, clean execution, you carry the potential to begin master training, maybe get yourself a hollywood agent?, people love kung fu movies, its a much, much better life than tournament fighting, just look at master lee or master chan?, I think its time you found yourself a real challenge, trust me.
never is the style that determinate who wins but the level of train of the practitioner. traditional kung fu will work ight in real street fight as much as the level of the fighte taht use it. a mma fighte or a shaolim monk both can win any fight, its depends on the each one. otherwise, i´m tird of all this fuckin´ thing of this is usfull or not, of its bette o instead it... will it lead anyone of us to somewhere?
Pak Dae Han, This form is superb. Fluid yet powerful, unlike Tae Kwon Do, which is rigid. Notice his wide-technique variety (also unlike TKD, which is one-dimensional), perfect rooting/structure, balance (unlike modern TKD, whose practitioners bounce uncontrollably), and qi (ki) control. Very seldom find you a TKD (or other Korean) stylist with such impressive quality. Furthermore, it is pure panther (no crane here). Learn about what you are speaking before opening your mouth.
"Nan Hua Zhen Ren" (you yisede mingzi), If you read Pak Dai Han's disrespectful and uninformed critique of this beautiful Bao Quan pattern, you would understand that I did not draw first blood. Furthermore, please do not begin sentences with "and," try to avoid redundancies (i.e. "I'm a Kungfu practitioner myself), and remember to capitalize "I" when using it as a proper name.
No. Grammar is very important. You should spend more time researching comments' origins before considering them disrespectful. My comments were defensive, not offensive. You should also consider changing your moniker, as "Master Dragon Ninja" is very childish and silly.
You care; otherwise you wouldn't have bothered responding.
While I didn't want to qualify my comments in such detail, or provide personal information, it appears I now have little choice. As Confucius said, "If I show a student 1 corner (of a square), it is up to him to find the other 3." As much as I loathe doing so, I suppose I must provide for you the other 3 corners.
Pak Dai Han's offensive comments (which I re-iterate were unprovoked) were premised upon the assumption that Korean arts are superior to Chinese arts (hence, "slow kicks"). In this way, Pak was debasing Chinese arts and, therefore, Chinese culture.
My response was not intended to debase Korean arts as a whole, but to give Pak a taste of his own medicine by highlighting areas in which Chinese arts are typically far ahead of Korean arts (stances, balance, rooting, structure, energy efficiency, technique variation).
While Korean stylists usually concentrate far more on kicking practice than do their Chinese counterparts, and therefore tend to have much better long-range and high kicks than kung fu adherents, there is no reason for the constant bullying of kung fu stylists.
My credentials, which lend my statements authority, include 20 + years study of Korean arts (in which I have black belts), as well as 4 years study of Chinese martial arts. What, pray, are your credentials?
I am not engaging in a "pissing contest." I am logically (and successfully) rebuking your attacks against me.
It is interesting how you find it okay for someone to attack another's technique for no reason, but wrong to defend those being attacked.
Don't worry about my humility; I am always striving to become more humble. I suppose, with another 20 years training, I might be as humble as you. If I succeed, I will call myself "Master Dragon Ninja II" - a name almost as humble as yours.
Thank you for your admission of defeat. While I never revel in others' suffering, I confess a small measure of satisfaction knowing I did not start this fight, but nevertheless won it.
I did not say Korean arts are inferior. Whilst defending this excellent bao quan (panther fist) form, I pointed out the weaknesses inherent in Korean styles. All styles have strengths and weaknesses. I have actually done a lot for Korean arts, through my study and teaching of them.
Regarding respect, you insulted Chinese systems by stating "I could point out many ways that MMA are more advanced than CMA." You then explained that you would not give the details supporting your belief, as doing such would be disrespectful. It is ridiculous to contend that asserting one system's superiority over another is not offensive, but that providing supporting evidence for such a view makes the contention disrespectful.
I removed all my comments, I see no need for this argument to go on any further, as I believe it is not beneficial for either of us. Hopefully, if we do run into one another on the web or in life, it will be under much more cordial terms.
There was no reason for you to remove your comments (as some of your points were valid). We were simply working out a disagreement in a non-violent manner. Your choice to remove your comments was not an act of "being the superior person by backing down," but rather indicative of someone not confident about his/her arguments.
Furthermore, I did win with logical arguments. I never denied attacking Korean arts, I denied that my attacks debased Korean arts because they were valid (based upon lengthy study) and used in a defensive manner. Additionally , I quoted you verbatim and countered your arguments in their specific context, whereas you made "straw person" arguments out of my comments.
I am completely confident in my arguments. You have to understand that from my perspective and that of another poster, that we perceived you to be attacking another art with an unfounded reason.
Why do you feel the need to give people "a taste of their own medicine?" Do you think this actually accomplishes anything or that it might create further tensions?
Who cares if one random, anonymous guy says the kicks are slow?
I gave him "a taste of his own medicine" defensively, in the same manner I would deem acceptable the use of any other technique used to defend an innocent person. You are contradicting yourself again. You find it strange that I care about the attacks posted by "one random, anonymous guy." He is not anonymous - his name lists clearly as Pak Dae Han. As I am no less random than him, why should you care that I responded to him any more than I should care about his comments?
Further, my comments did accomplish their purpose (defending the quality of this post's panther form). What tensions am I creating? We are simply posting texts. No wars are waging because of us.
Do you know for sure that his name is Pak Dae Han? Is your real name quanfa88? You really have 88 in your name?
Weather he is anonymous, or not is beside the point. I am asking why someone's opinion who shouldn't matter to you, does?
I didn't care that you were responding to him, I cared that you were attacking a different martial art. You could've engaged him and ask why he thought that, or just ignored him completely, but you took it as a personal attack, which is understandable also.
Whether or not Pak Dae Han is his real name doesn't matter. You were the who cared that he was "anonymous." I did not take Pak's comment as a personal attack, nor did I consider my rebuke to him personal, either. As I have stated multiple times, I was defending this excellent post. Why should my opinion matter to you, if Pak's shouldn't matter to me?
I am going to China in a few months and I would like your input on what is a good style to study. I am thinking either Chen tai chi, one of the southern styles or possibly mantis.
with many sub-options depending upon what you are in.
If you go to Hong Kong (and, to a lesser extent, Guangdong/Guangxi), you can find many more of the styles present in the West (Wing Chun, Hung Gar, Choy Lei Fut, Jow Gar, etc).
I can't speak for Taiwan. Rather than the specific style, it is much more important to study something you like, from a good teacher.
It is also important to remember that martial arts in mainland China are approached very differently than in the West. Wu Shu is a distillation of many kung fu styles, with the fighting applications removed and no "fa jin" (true power) taught in most cases. It is essentially an art form. San Shou is much closer to Muay Thai than Chinese martial arts per se. Even the Internal arts are taught in a "simplified" form, typically devoid of any combat application.
What are your interests in martial arts, and what features do you prefer (kicks, punches, long-range, close-range, grappling, etc)? I can provide much better advice if you tell me. I'll be in China next month, by the way.
oh, some ridiculous guys in the last comment pages said Kung Fu was useless in real life, this is just a demonstration, and the Kung Fu men never won on the UFC. They never participated the UFC. The ones participated were all the fake Kung Fu practitioners.
SOrry, I misunderstood your comment before. I really love this leopard form by the way. And I know kungfu works well in a streetfight but its up to the skill level of who uses it not the style that determines who wins. If I have a gun and you don't but I'm terrible about how to use it, dont know how to hold it, load it, too slow to get it out., take to safety off (If it has one) I may not win.
WOw, I've seen alot of Chinese forms before including Leopard routines but this routine was MOST impressive, this could hang with the fanciest modern wushu routine.
Not really advanced just more versatile. ie: Drilling and Pressing into the rib area,neck, and Throte. I can debate with you forever if I wanted to but, Hung gar has its own way of using the Panther skills and CLF mostly uses the Panther skills but effectivley uses all five animals. If Hung Gar is also known as Tiger-Crane then CLF should be known as the Tiger-Panther.
Sure. When I get a decent camcorder. CLF has several Forms that yeah use alot of panther Skills ie; Charp Choi (Ping, Yum, & Yung plus my all time fav the Leen wan Charp Choi) but there is no one form (minus Chan Clan) that soul focus is on the panther it self. Ie; only Panther skills so yeah I used my Tsai Li Fo along with Hung Gar's Panther section from Sup Ying Kuen and developed my own personal Panther form. Sue me I had fun doing it :)>
Its rare I wish you luck. I developed a Bao Xing Quan form using Hung gar's Panther section with Choy Lee Fut skills as well as the northern Wu Xing Ba Fa Form I learned from a Friend its for me I don't teach it.
jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja. Then why even mention it??
i think that is a good idea to pratice all one animal at a time but on the other hand how do you pratice transitioning from one animal to the other? do you just have alot of forms?
It really depends on the teacher. In Choy Lee Fut and Hung Gar all Five animals are intermixed into all of our forms. But I do know Five Seperate animal forms that utilize only each animals spirt & Skills.
Despite the fighting over what fighting style is the best, the fact remains that in a street fight, what maters the most is who lands the critical blow first. Style doesn't matter, it's all about speed, power, and accuracy combined. It can be a hand strike, kick, weapon blow, whatever.
If you want to defend yourself, train hard, and train with someone who has experience in self defense.
All fighting styles can be useful, you just need to know how to apply them.
If you practice leopard, can you tell me what its characteristics are? If the tiger is tanacity and strength of bone then what is the leopard? I never got to that animal and no one teaches kung fu around where I live lol.
Wow! That breathing control demonstrated was pretty amazing.
I mean, technically if you could keep it up you could "rev" your self up into some crazy amount of momentum. And how the heck can you breath in like that, that much during the kicks? Cool stuff though especially on that 18 or 20th move (The mid air, low to the ground fakie back fist).
@bladesaint21 no lol the unifourms are just. for i rly dont know, but it rly doesnt mater what your in trust me i take kung fu and i teach my friends stuff all the time and im in whatever i have on
@WinsomeJohnny yes and we live in a world driven by money so those uniforms are a way to help the school survive, same goes for teacher who decides to put belts
2-artha5, Kung-Fu was first and foremost designed to quickly,and effectively destroy an attacker. Where did you learn that new age clap-trap?
3-pak-good points about bjj and muay thai being effective. But there are many arts out there that you have never even heard of, and there are many teachers out there teaching Kung-Fu that is down and dirty, not like this pretty leopard form.
No. In romanized (that means americanized) cantonese leopard is pauu and tsung is mandarin for monk. If you got that from jeff stone's books, you misinterpreted.
The fists he used in this form are excellent for striking the arms or legs as a counter strike, instead of blocking. By using the second set of knuckles, you are able to strike the nerves in an opponents arms or legs as they put their weight into a strike, causing the limb to go numb. It feels like having your arm or leg fall asleep. Doing this to an opponent is my favorite move.
no leopard develops instantaneous response so called springy force or startling force that is why it can beat tiger. the leopards kidney "waist" is larger than the tiger, the leopard is water and leopards love water unlike other cats. this is the water in jing and the speed and timing is about hitting first no matter what, ideally. no dim mak is needed IMO but its useless for bullying its reaction-force to someone elses force
Martial ARTS isn't the same as fighting. The physical part is the very "lowest" level. The highest level is where you find peace within yourself and discovers your own path in life.
Anyone can form a fist and punch - no big deal. No such thing as a "kung-fu punch" or a "ninjutsu punch" - knuckles are knuckles. Period. But not everyone can grasp the philosophical part.
I think there was a recent article in Inside Kung Fu magazine that leopard style is becoming rare. Hopefully more people will study it to keep it alive.
said like an opinionated ill-informed idiot judochop- but go ahead -keep sparring with only judo students and see what happens when you're facing someone with a style you're unfamiliar with and can't defend against.Find a school where they teach you to respect.
Interestingly enough I am changing my school. I'm greatly blessed that there are two school's teaching CMA in town, so this summer I'm checking out the other.
I suppose I should add there is some ground work at my school school, nothing of real substance though.
actually kung fu is a philosophy that tries to teach the self-control, so really kung fu pracitcioners normally wouldn't enter in tournaments. Still there are many styles of kung fu, so maybe ones you see in MMA tournaments are form other countries that are not the original one which is China, i believe that in China are great kung fu masters that could really demonstrate the greatness of kung fu.
I have this to say: All these animal like forms are so lamely performed as compared to what Bruce Lee did in his screen test wearing suit... Just try to search for "Bruce Lee screen test" and skip till the end of the vid you'll find.
I do not understand the comparison between Kung Fu (KF) and MMA. BJJ is a humane of fighting. KF techniques are vicious (maim or kill) & would not be allowed in an MMA match. The objective of MMA is a submission or knockout. A grappler might say you need to know if tackled from behind. But,would you rather be tackled from behind or hit in the back of the head/neck by a KF master w/vicious intent.
What is actually the point with this kind of kung fu ? Yu cant use it to defend urself in the streets, and sure aint going to win any MMA competition/fight with this. Is this done purely for fun ?
Dude...youre way off this stuff can be used in a real fight I have done it, a lot of MMA stuff is ring conducive only try doing Brazilain JuJitsu on a rocky beach, yeah try that.....
I mean, put a leopard kung fu guy in the ring ( or a rocky beach ) against a thai boxer, and you know and I know that the Kung Fu dude is going to lose.
Put him against a boxer, and the boxer is going to destroy him.
Put him against a Tae Kwon Do guy, and the TKD guy will mess him up.
So my point is, why waste your time on leopard and monkey kung fu ? Is it just for fun ?
With a deep stance like this guy has, a thai boxer will break his legs with a low kick.
You haven't seen much Kung Fu, have you? TKD is pretty, but not worth much no holds barred. A boxer can't deal with the kicks or the flanking speed of KF. A good thai boxer might have a chance against a good KF fighter, depending on the KF style used and if he can get ahold of him.
The term often used in Hung Gar is being steel wrapped in cotton...if you think you could take a beating with a steel rod, then go ahead and take on a KF master. Just let me know when and where so I can watch!

In traditional kung fu there's a lot less bullshitting around from what I've noticed. And the forms are much like in the above video.
In fact most of the movements in the above video are the same as what I've learned. But the performance is insane. I Wish I had his explosive power and swiftness.

This is amazing, I began kung fu training in 1992 in a style that was called Nature Fist Boxing and I was taught this exact leopard form in that year.

It's not exactly how you think. Dalu martial arts are actually very good, just de-fanged (which I don't like). The government is not worried about being overthrown by skilled individuals (as anyone can kill). They are much more worried about the anti-government activity of the old clans that taught kung fu, so they wanted to nationalize, standardize, and control the practice. The de-fanging resulted from the desire to turn martial arts into a sport/cultural art, rather than a fighting form.

Real original Shaolin Kung Fu survived and is now known as Shaolin Do. Look it up.

Quite brilliant, sharp angles, clean execution, you carry the potential to begin master training, maybe get yourself a hollywood agent?, people love kung fu movies, its a much, much better life than tournament fighting, just look at master lee or master chan?, I think its time you found yourself a real challenge, trust me.

never is the style that determinate who wins but the level of train of the practitioner. traditional kung fu will work ight in real street fight as much as the level of the fighte taht use it. a mma fighte or a shaolim monk both can win any fight, its depends on the each one. otherwise, i´m tird of all this fuckin´ thing of this is usfull or not, of its bette o instead it... will it lead anyone of us to somewhere?

Pak Dae Han, This form is superb. Fluid yet powerful, unlike Tae Kwon Do, which is rigid. Notice his wide-technique variety (also unlike TKD, which is one-dimensional), perfect rooting/structure, balance (unlike modern TKD, whose practitioners bounce uncontrollably), and qi (ki) control. Very seldom find you a TKD (or other Korean) stylist with such impressive quality. Furthermore, it is pure panther (no crane here). Learn about what you are speaking before opening your mouth.
quanfa88 2 years ago
And why is it that you are discrediting Taekwondo right now?
I´m a Kungfu practitioner myself, still i think that traditional TKD and other Korean MA are great and you´ve got no respect.
You know respect, that´s very important for martial artists.

"Nan Hua Zhen Ren" (you yisede mingzi), If you read Pak Dai Han's disrespectful and uninformed critique of this beautiful Bao Quan pattern, you would understand that I did not draw first blood. Furthermore, please do not begin sentences with "and," try to avoid redundancies (i.e. "I'm a Kungfu practitioner myself), and remember to capitalize "I" when using it as a proper name.

You care; otherwise you wouldn't have bothered responding.
While I didn't want to qualify my comments in such detail, or provide personal information, it appears I now have little choice. As Confucius said, "If I show a student 1 corner (of a square), it is up to him to find the other 3." As much as I loathe doing so, I suppose I must provide for you the other 3 corners.
quanfa88 2 years ago
Pak Dai Han's offensive comments (which I re-iterate were unprovoked) were premised upon the assumption that Korean arts are superior to Chinese arts (hence, "slow kicks"). In this way, Pak was debasing Chinese arts and, therefore, Chinese culture.
quanfa88 2 years ago
My response was not intended to debase Korean arts as a whole, but to give Pak a taste of his own medicine by highlighting areas in which Chinese arts are typically far ahead of Korean arts (stances, balance, rooting, structure, energy efficiency, technique variation).
quanfa88 2 years ago
While Korean stylists usually concentrate far more on kicking practice than do their Chinese counterparts, and therefore tend to have much better long-range and high kicks than kung fu adherents, there is no reason for the constant bullying of kung fu stylists.
quanfa88 2 years ago
My credentials, which lend my statements authority, include 20 + years study of Korean arts (in which I have black belts), as well as 4 years study of Chinese martial arts. What, pray, are your credentials?

I am not engaging in a "pissing contest." I am logically (and successfully) rebuking your attacks against me.
It is interesting how you find it okay for someone to attack another's technique for no reason, but wrong to defend those being attacked.
Don't worry about my humility; I am always striving to become more humble. I suppose, with another 20 years training, I might be as humble as you. If I succeed, I will call myself "Master Dragon Ninja II" - a name almost as humble as yours.

I did not say Korean arts are inferior. Whilst defending this excellent bao quan (panther fist) form, I pointed out the weaknesses inherent in Korean styles. All styles have strengths and weaknesses. I have actually done a lot for Korean arts, through my study and teaching of them.

Regarding respect, you insulted Chinese systems by stating "I could point out many ways that MMA are more advanced than CMA." You then explained that you would not give the details supporting your belief, as doing such would be disrespectful. It is ridiculous to contend that asserting one system's superiority over another is not offensive, but that providing supporting evidence for such a view makes the contention disrespectful.

I removed all my comments, I see no need for this argument to go on any further, as I believe it is not beneficial for either of us. Hopefully, if we do run into one another on the web or in life, it will be under much more cordial terms.
MasterDragonNinja 2 years ago
There was no reason for you to remove your comments (as some of your points were valid). We were simply working out a disagreement in a non-violent manner. Your choice to remove your comments was not an act of "being the superior person by backing down," but rather indicative of someone not confident about his/her arguments.
quanfa88 2 years ago
Furthermore, I did win with logical arguments. I never denied attacking Korean arts, I denied that my attacks debased Korean arts because they were valid (based upon lengthy study) and used in a defensive manner. Additionally , I quoted you verbatim and countered your arguments in their specific context, whereas you made "straw person" arguments out of my comments.
quanfa88 2 years ago
Finally, you started this argument by attacking me. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
quanfa88 2 years ago
I am completely confident in my arguments. You have to understand that from my perspective and that of another poster, that we perceived you to be attacking another art with an unfounded reason.
Why do you feel the need to give people "a taste of their own medicine?" Do you think this actually accomplishes anything or that it might create further tensions?
Who cares if one random, anonymous guy says the kicks are slow?
MasterDragonNinja 2 years ago
I gave him "a taste of his own medicine" defensively, in the same manner I would deem acceptable the use of any other technique used to defend an innocent person. You are contradicting yourself again. You find it strange that I care about the attacks posted by "one random, anonymous guy." He is not anonymous - his name lists clearly as Pak Dae Han. As I am no less random than him, why should you care that I responded to him any more than I should care about his comments?
quanfa88 2 years ago
Further, my comments did accomplish their purpose (defending the quality of this post's panther form). What tensions am I creating? We are simply posting texts. No wars are waging because of us.
quanfa88 2 years ago
Do you know for sure that his name is Pak Dae Han? Is your real name quanfa88? You really have 88 in your name?
Weather he is anonymous, or not is beside the point. I am asking why someone's opinion who shouldn't matter to you, does?
I didn't care that you were responding to him, I cared that you were attacking a different martial art. You could've engaged him and ask why he thought that, or just ignored him completely, but you took it as a personal attack, which is understandable also.
MasterDragonNinja 2 years ago
Whether or not Pak Dae Han is his real name doesn't matter. You were the who cared that he was "anonymous." I did not take Pak's comment as a personal attack, nor did I consider my rebuke to him personal, either. As I have stated multiple times, I was defending this excellent post. Why should my opinion matter to you, if Pak's shouldn't matter to me?
quanfa88 2 years ago
Meh, this is just going in circles.
I am going to China in a few months and I would like your input on what is a good style to study. I am thinking either Chen tai chi, one of the southern styles or possibly mantis.
MasterDragonNinja 2 years ago
If you're going to Dalu (mainland), you have 3 primary options:
1) Wu Shu, 2) San Shou, 3) Internal (Taiji, Xingyi, Bagua),
with many sub-options depending upon what you are in.
If you go to Hong Kong (and, to a lesser extent, Guangdong/Guangxi), you can find many more of the styles present in the West (Wing Chun, Hung Gar, Choy Lei Fut, Jow Gar, etc).
I can't speak for Taiwan. Rather than the specific style, it is much more important to study something you like, from a good teacher.
quanfa88 2 years ago
It is also important to remember that martial arts in mainland China are approached very differently than in the West. Wu Shu is a distillation of many kung fu styles, with the fighting applications removed and no "fa jin" (true power) taught in most cases. It is essentially an art form. San Shou is much closer to Muay Thai than Chinese martial arts per se. Even the Internal arts are taught in a "simplified" form, typically devoid of any combat application.
quanfa88 2 years ago
What are your interests in martial arts, and what features do you prefer (kicks, punches, long-range, close-range, grappling, etc)? I can provide much better advice if you tell me. I'll be in China next month, by the way.

SOrry, I misunderstood your comment before. I really love this leopard form by the way. And I know kungfu works well in a streetfight but its up to the skill level of who uses it not the style that determines who wins. If I have a gun and you don't but I'm terrible about how to use it, dont know how to hold it, load it, too slow to get it out., take to safety off (If it has one) I may not win.

Not really advanced just more versatile. ie: Drilling and Pressing into the rib area,neck, and Throte. I can debate with you forever if I wanted to but, Hung gar has its own way of using the Panther skills and CLF mostly uses the Panther skills but effectivley uses all five animals. If Hung Gar is also known as Tiger-Crane then CLF should be known as the Tiger-Panther.
Clfguardian26 2 years ago
Sure. When I get a decent camcorder. CLF has several Forms that yeah use alot of panther Skills ie; Charp Choi (Ping, Yum, & Yung plus my all time fav the Leen wan Charp Choi) but there is no one form (minus Chan Clan) that soul focus is on the panther it self. Ie; only Panther skills so yeah I used my Tsai Li Fo along with Hung Gar's Panther section from Sup Ying Kuen and developed my own personal Panther form. Sue me I had fun doing it :)>

wickychang 3 years ago
Despite the fighting over what fighting style is the best, the fact remains that in a street fight, what maters the most is who lands the critical blow first. Style doesn't matter, it's all about speed, power, and accuracy combined. It can be a hand strike, kick, weapon blow, whatever.
If you want to defend yourself, train hard, and train with someone who has experience in self defense.
All fighting styles can be useful, you just need to know how to apply them.
BTW, I practice leopard.

I have studied kung fu for nine years.
The fists he used in this form are excellent for striking the arms or legs as a counter strike, instead of blocking. By using the second set of knuckles, you are able to strike the nerves in an opponents arms or legs as they put their weight into a strike, causing the limb to go numb. It feels like having your arm or leg fall asleep. Doing this to an opponent is my favorite move.

no leopard develops instantaneous response so called springy force or startling force that is why it can beat tiger. the leopards kidney "waist" is larger than the tiger, the leopard is water and leopards love water unlike other cats. this is the water in jing and the speed and timing is about hitting first no matter what, ideally. no dim mak is needed IMO but its useless for bullying its reaction-force to someone elses force

Martial ARTS isn't the same as fighting. The physical part is the very "lowest" level. The highest level is where you find peace within yourself and discovers your own path in life.
Anyone can form a fist and punch - no big deal. No such thing as a "kung-fu punch" or a "ninjutsu punch" - knuckles are knuckles. Period. But not everyone can grasp the philosophical part.

I do not understand the comparison between Kung Fu (KF) and MMA. BJJ is a humane of fighting. KF techniques are vicious (maim or kill) & would not be allowed in an MMA match. The objective of MMA is a submission or knockout. A grappler might say you need to know if tackled from behind. But,would you rather be tackled from behind or hit in the back of the head/neck by a KF master w/vicious intent.

I mean, put a leopard kung fu guy in the ring ( or a rocky beach ) against a thai boxer, and you know and I know that the Kung Fu dude is going to lose.
Put him against a boxer, and the boxer is going to destroy him.
Put him against a Tae Kwon Do guy, and the TKD guy will mess him up.
So my point is, why waste your time on leopard and monkey kung fu ? Is it just for fun ?
With a deep stance like this guy has, a thai boxer will break his legs with a low kick.
pakifighter 4 years ago
You haven't seen much Kung Fu, have you? TKD is pretty, but not worth much no holds barred. A boxer can't deal with the kicks or the flanking speed of KF. A good thai boxer might have a chance against a good KF fighter, depending on the KF style used and if he can get ahold of him.
The term often used in Hung Gar is being steel wrapped in cotton...if you think you could take a beating with a steel rod, then go ahead and take on a KF master. Just let me know when and where so I can watch!
