Chi flows like a river. If the rivers ceases to flow...so does the chi. Therefore the seeming "whipping" motions. Chi cannot be seen and therefore we can only guess if a practitipner has any. I never meant to incline Mr. Chung has any, just that it "looks" as he does. But, just from his form, balance and other aspects from this video I wouldn't mess with him. :-) Again...thanks for the observational feedback of my comments. Keep on searching friends!
The principles of jin, ging, scared power, whatever you want to call it, follow with the concept of chi in mind. You see the whipping motion, that is only part of the process. If he's doing the rest? Can't tell. The whipping is only part of what bak mei does.
Me again! Also you may notice his torso is centered above his legs almost throughout his whole routine denoting balance, which equals speed and power. He never bends or crouches too low which can also slow you down. This style is very aggresive, meaning not too much defensive moves, but if your defending, you're probably losing. Defending takes twice the speed of your opponents attack. An aggressive front is far more effective. Got more but I think you get my gist. Aloha friend.
Hey lawker777! I'm not sure what type of breathing regimen this gentlemen is using, just that it seems he ends his routine by "storing" his chi away. Also another note is he never kicks above his waist which for some, including me, is an unnecessary waste of movement and time. If a punch can can disable your opponent...why kick? Don't get me wrong there are the need for kicks, but in a confrontation lasting a few seconds or less your hands are far more effective. (Ran out of space)
This man is 100% authentic. His balance is superb. His feet are always based. His strikes don't lay out and linger, the shoulders are slumped forward to extend his reach. And last but not least, he puts his Chi away when ending his routine. Awesome. I can't believe this is online.
My opinion.......martial arts in it's advanced levels is a very individual thing and not strictly by the book. I'll bet in a fighting situation his strikes will be super fast and very powerful. And not sledgehammer blows but penetrating,stinging blows that would take your breathe.
@Loeloeproductions u cant just call a traditional demonstration crap when you dont know anything about it. this is very useful in fights... he wont be doing what he did in this video, he wil be kicking ass in a kick boxing stance
Tho' some comment that his Power (Jing or Ging) comes from his sleeves, yet, it doesn't mean he has no Ging. It's a 2-factor phenomenon: own ging + sleeve sound ==> still Ging ! Can those commentators do the same? Just taunting and no true gongfu, huh !
I laugh at jealous, insecure, macho Scrotes like TexanTexan2 who would get their asses kicked outside of a ring with rules.
Jin has nothing to do with the sounds of his sleeves. If you had any knowledge or depth of any of the Hakka Styles you would intuitively realize this.
AikiNinja1 - yes, though not quite drawing it from his hara (dantien), its more where he is storing it before moving it elsewhere. Dragon is a very flowing internal energy style.
Sunshine - I have trained tonglong under guy sue-tin. This artist is similar because he is using "kinetic chain" energy. What you refer to as "shock energy" but I think thats a crude analogy. It comes from Shaolin Dragon Kung Fu. Where his chest concaves and explodes out using energy created from the "kinetic chain" from the ground up through his stance and torse, out through his limbs.
I agree with sparrow58. He looks like a excellent martial artist, but I don't like that his arms drop. That's like lowing your guard and PK use a 3-4 gate system. All his strikes are short, including the whipping arm strikes and I think his timing is independent from his strikes and movement. He's like doing PK and Chen tai chi.
This a hakka style kung fu , if you want to see a very fast fighting with internal energy {ging} southern praying mantis type im my master name Henry Sue . this guy is good has ging, but not geng the true short shock internal energy.
I'm not familiar with this style, but I haven't seen anyone outside of taiji and xingyi with jing like that, so I'm assuming he has studied one of those, right? Very impressive. It may not adhere to the strict guidelines of this style as some of you mentioned, but I bet it would get the job done!
There are quite a bit of styles that use similar jing (they use terms geng and ging) to the internal arts, and among them are bak mei, white crane, dragon, etc.
A very talented man indeed. His ging is exceptional, however, I don't think it comes from his Pak Mei, it looks like he has other fundamental skills, and has either applied them to PM, or learned something from PM to apply to them. He throws his shoulders back before he releases his power which is an issue to me. Also, his mind is turned within, and he is not focused on martial intent. It reminds me of southern white crane internal.
This is some wierd bak mei. None of the TTFC principle is apparent. Or the lightning fast foot movements characteristic of bak mei. Definately not related to CLC branch of bak mei at all.
Great video of Sifu Andy. I was a student of his for 10 years. I can honestly say that Sifu Andy is the Harvard of martial arts. His power generation and technique is A+. I consider myself very lucky to have met someone with his skill.
This is Sifu Andrew Chung from, I believe, about 15 years ago. He is an excellent teacher, currently in Hollywood, Florida, and he teaches Xingyi, Pa Kua, Taiji (Chen Pan Ling and Yang), Wing Tsun, Bak Mei, and a few other styles. You really have to see him in person to appreciate the skill he has, and the amount of power that he can generate and actually use effectively.
@dd168 Yeah looks like southern mantis.. hakka mantis? is that what bak mei / pak mei / white eyebrow was? I oftent hought it was crane but many legends surrouding him. I heard he was banned from shaolin for developing a fatal only system of boxing.. hehe but they still practice it for study purposes only?
