Glad you posted it. Was practicing the form tonight and forgot a couple of steps. The version Grand Master taught me is a little different but I can figure it out.
Grand Master Jung went to Beijing to teach for a semester then moved back to Korea. He is missed by many around here.
I am inspired by your video, I am learning tai chi and wushu now not too much kung fu anymore. But I alway love traditional art, need to go back to review them. Its been few years.
I started with him in 2000. This is still the beginner form. Like you said, he is vague on where it came from. Calls it traditional northern style. I have seen many masters, and he is the best I have come across. He is still as flexible as he was when you were with him
He teaches pretty much every chinese martial art you can think of. Shaolin, Northern, Southern, TaiChi, Bagua, Xinyi, SanDa, push-hands, China', everything. On top of all that, he is the best I have ever seen at basic exercise, ie., stretching, strength, stancework, etc. A real Grandmaster. Check his site out at wushusua-com
That is because the real form moves in circles, but to teach it in class, there is not enough room. It has a lot of open palms, and sliding, hence bagua. Park may have picked it up in Korea, Mr. Jung is Korean, from Seoul. Does not think highly of Park Bok Nam either. Calls him amateur
he has trained 40+ years in one martial art. grandmaster jung must be more than human to be calling that kind of time and effort in one art amateur. congratulations on being his student.
While I am only relaying what he believes since I have not seen Park with my own eyes, if you don't practice something right, you can do it for 1000 years, and it still won't matter. Ask Park about him. See what his reaction is, if any. He knows who Maing Yal Jung is. I can guarantee you that. Jung practiced with him and his master for 7 months, and thought they were no good. Moved on to practice with Sun Zhi Jun.

I wish that I had known this. I was in Beijing about two weeks ago. Choon was my primary teacher. Do you happen to know the name of the restaraunt?

When did you study with Grandmaster Jung?
hawkeyeke 4 years ago
I studied with him from 1995 until around 2000. I took some time off for an injury I suffered there during that time.

If you know what system this is from, let me know. My first instructor was never clear on heritage, so I'm reverse engineering some of it.
