Tallahassee Shaolin Kung fu - Snake Ring Exercise

[Kazuyaabi]

Obviously, wing chun is simplified snake and crane.

[kaindrg]

i know everyone is tired of the MMA vs traditional debate and neither side has credible evidence to support but hear me out rather than focus and form we coudn disect it specific concept(ie wing chung sil lim tau theme is to drill centerline to initiates) im not saying we abandon it. im saying since the actuall historic records especially military and inter village Militia guild show tht solo forms were practiced but sparring sensativity drills were more emphasized

[bpsutherland]

@kaindrg I wanted to hear you out but I can't follow your diction. Need punctuation and complete sentences.

[kaindrg]

[luckyduck1017]

Cool!

[Acification95]

what is the point of this ring?

how does it help with technique and everything?

[GambleDub]

@Acification95

im no expert but im pretty sure its training you to attack while making sure you are constantly guarding your centreline

[drzythyx]

@GambleDub Yes as well as training the hands 2 keep proper distance apart

[philotaaveti]

i sometimes put my steel rings on as bracelets

[MDmon]

[MDmon]

What is the ring size you're using in the video?I'm having a hard time locating them, and I would like to try it out, and add it to my snake regiment Thank you M.Dmon

[TLEE68]

My former master, now deceased, told me that it was Wing Chun was a combination of Snake, Crane and a little Tai Chi all rolled up in one based on concept of each style

[superhumansight]

@TLEE68 the explanation i was given that makes the most sense is that all animal forms and drills were combined to the most effective and basic.

they are then taught in order of fundamental to transcendental.

so, the first form mimics no animal but it is the fundamentals instead.

[TheDano1947]

@TLEE68 He was right!!

[adelmenis]

Wing Chun rulizzz-))

[Wingtsuninpo]

this looks a lot like the kwan-sau movement in Wing Tsun. it's interesting to see other styles of kung fu where Wing Tsun was originated

[tallahasseeshaolin]

This movement is very similar to the one found in Wing Chun. Wing Chun may be an entirely human style, but it still has ideas rooted deeply in the ancient animal styles and some things, like this, show through beautifully.

[superhumansight]

@tallahasseeshaolin

yea, this is very similar to a move we practice in Wing Chun. it finds center and takes position to strike with either or both hands. the 'poi palm' technique often follows this move. videogames copy the poi palm and make it look like a fireball. but what has really happened is that you strike with both hands and launch someone. very excellent video. i will add this to my training regimen...

peace!!!

[TheDano1947]

@superhumansight Good but might I recommend you replace the Horse stance with the more traditional

Goat stance.

[drzythyx]

@TheDano1947 No need. I already use the goat catching stance with that,

 and many other techniques.Thats only a stretching exersice.

[ukguy]

@tallahasseeshaolin well alot of people say wing chun was based on fight between a snake and a crane so makes sense.

[kaindrg]

@ukguy those analogies are recent infact alot of what we believe about chines martail art is recent and alto is misinformation. i guess the only thing traditional is the movements it self.

[TheDano1947]

@Wingtsuninpo I think you mean Tan Sau as Kwan means foot as in Tae Kwan Do a Korean style.

[Wingtsuninpo]

@TheDano1947 actually I meant Kwun-Sau which means rotating arms found in the beginning of the 3 empty handed forms and in the biu tze form (at least in the Leung Ting system I'm from). My American accent always pronounces it like Kwan so it was just a spelling mistake on my part haha.

[drzythyx]

@TheDano1947 Kwan Sao is a Cantonese word that describes using Tahn sao and Gahn sao together.

[alucarddemondragon]

know where i can get the ring bracelets offline????

[thekungfuman]

You typically have to make them. Its hard to find stores that carry them offline.  You can always get creative and find a ring that was meant for something else...

[crazynigger22]

wtf is this shit
