Martial Arts Odyssey: Monkey Master Part 1

[nonetius]

thumbs up if you have watch kill arman and seen how hisham kill him!

[lmoreir1]

does Sifu Hisham have a website

[CHUKROC]

never mind i see now it is not

[CHUKROC]

is this the same guy that got knocked out by vladimir gladkov ???

[lococavasa]

Did i spell san shou san soo.?No those are all togther differn't martial arts. Not that i have a problem with anyone nor what people use but why can't people share thoughts without all the uninformed remarks? Go look up san soo kung fu are just tell me it doesn't exsist that's fine with me your just acknowledging your own ignorance you don't know about san soo if you haven't heard of it.

[MechPhantom]

cool is this guy muslim or something?

[OrientalStyle47]

why is there a brd (germany) flag in the background?

master hisham looks also not much chinese:) ( its persian name i know)

very confusing

i know hisham is from germany because he said: zack,.. ja,.. ja komm:D iam f sherlock!!

[brooklynmonk1]

@OrientalStyle47 It's pretty simple, actually. Hisham is Syrian, but he comes from Germany. I am Italian, but did four years of university study in Germany, so I wind up with German friends.

[OrientalStyle47]

why is there a brd (germany) flag in the background?

master hisham looks also not much chinese:) ( its persian name i know)

very confusing

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 How about this think about what you say b4 you say it that way you will not assume anything in the way you would like it to be but actually speak of things in the way they are. Basic concepts that most of us don't even have to think twice about but some1 always talking shit somewere to spread there ego.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa I thought out all of my responses before I wrote them. That should be clear from how well worded they are, and how much they reflect an intellectual approach, including research and logic.

[MechPhantom]

@brooklynmonk1 brooklynmonk1 cool story, btw sir how well can those san da guys from the school fight? are they good,very good or exceptiioally good? too are they fast when they strike? man ur badass ! defeating all shaolin monks , nothing but respect to you man!

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 As jimmy h woo is creditated with bring the art to america and a look into the history explains why you dont see it in china but again why argue these symatics all that matters is that we practice what we believe in and give are respects. I don't give my respect to those who are not kind though and you have come off like a complete douch bag asshole for what reason i don't know. Maybe you have a shitty life so you look for every scapegoat you can.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Actually my life is rather dream-like. I get to travel all over the world and study martial arts and languages, and get paid for it. I only corrected your grammar and spelling because they were wrong. I asked you if you are a patient in a mental facility because your writing is very disjointed and reflects a minimal grasp on reality. I said your teacher probably made up your art because there is no record of it anywhere in USA or China.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 it's so hetorical isn't it yet you failed again and you beat around the bush. You create shit in your own image you act like shit you most sleep with shit and all ive been doing is sharing my knowledge & trying to get respect but your the godhead whos job it is to short out any undesirables get off my back hitler one word one thought stuck up self minded asshole. Why is it so hard for you to concieve of basic concepts of respect??? As i said b4 what u said is impossible.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 See you really wan't attention your so full of yourself. You convert shit in your own image & not how things actually are. Telling me bruce lee when i said lee that's just like how you said i made a grammical error when i told you that there no san soo school in china & you said are you suggesting i fly outside of china? Your the douchbag who said that san soo was invented in a shopping mall then i asked for proof and you change it to master lee has a school in a shopping center.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 you could be a master of 100 styles if you did not know how to correctly apply just one technique your whole system would fail. So saying these things like there is an ultimatum should be realized that it does not make the person what makes the person is a concept of moral even these basic fruits i understand yet you failed in the most basic of concept respect.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 TYPO o waite your the guy with the shoe shines and tie your perfect. We couldn't do that im a 4th grader and your the majestic lord LOL I meant albert einstien could not tie his shoes not tie his shoes whatever it takes no intelligence to show some respect yet all i heard from your mouth was bashing and its illrelivance to what you know regarding how many styles you have practiced it makes no differnce if you dont have correct direction of mind/thought

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa I claimed to have education, and i do. You can google my name and find numerous biographies on me, as well as university records. You clearly lack education because your writing i so horrendous. There is no "we" however. I am only insulting you, no one else. Showing respect is not a sign of intelligence. Thoughtful analysis and research are signs of intelligence. and when I analyzed your art, i found that no records existed before 1965. That is not bashing, just a fact.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk and i dont talk shit over spelling who gives a fuck anyways your the one that started with the know it all additude in the first place telling me exsactly what was wroung with a basic question that could have been answered with a simple no. If you cant figure out that question then your really lost. It was my first question. Just keep it simple and don't take yourself to seriosly. In the end i care less what you practice if it makes you happy good.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Your spelling and grammar are like a fourth grader. seriously, go to school. If you earn more than 20K a year I would be very surprised. Don't you understand that with more education you could have a better job and a happier life? Do you like having a low job and no self-respect? It's not logical.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 How about this have some respect waste time because i guess i can use more sense then you i dont assume just because i haven't seen an art are can prove it's exsistance that it anymore are less proves the art. I use what works for me and so should you really in the end thats all that matters and when did i say your not a real martial artist what i did say is that i dont question the arts you practice i know silat is real and also many others it's nothing new under the sun.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa The reason I said your art never existed before 1965 is because it didn't. You have yet to produce a single historical record of this art. Once again, I LIVE IN CHINA. This art is unknown in China and the only written records of it are produced by modern participants of it. Clearly, it was invented in America, in recent times. Don't even speak to this again, unless you have some evidence.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Whatever spelling and understanding are 2 intiraly differnt things. I use basic logic and reason to evaluate situations. Albert einstien could tie his shoe's yet he was a genious. What you say and do are 2 intirally differnt things your claim about lee was debunked first you say he created san soo then you say he's schools in a shopping center. So who beating around the bush??? Ive seen taekwondo in shopping centers karate etc it means Nothing absolutly nothing.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa I never claimed Bruce Lee invented San Soo. Don't take this wrong, and I don't mean it as an insult, but as a legitimate question, are you a mental patient? Seriously, are you writing me from inside of an institution of some kind? Your writing is one long ramble, with incredible numbers of mistakes and disjointed ideas...If you are not in some type of treatment now, please print this long exchange between us and take it to a mental health professional. I mean this in all earnestness.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 For future referance don't talk shit about arts you haven't practiced are experience and don't baddger other people about there spelling if i wanted to be corrected i wouldn't be sitting in front of a computer typing up my thoughts id go to a teacher.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa But you really should pursue some type of education, even if it is just reading in your spare time. It's not really relevant if you want to be corrected or not. if you make your writing public, it will be criticized. bad grammar and spelling detract from your message.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 And more than likely you can not because you know your a lier but if not then go ahead and prove me wrong but i am sure that if you took two seconds out of your day to google san soo kung fu you would find many resources on the art none would tell you it was invented in a shopping center thats complete rubbish whoever has told you this is misleading you and i fill sorry for you for believing it and the person telling you this for lying to you. .

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa I have proven you wrong several times already. I checked. There are no records of your art before 1965. I have also made that point several times, and challenged you to produce some written record of your art. But, you have ignored my requests. That doesn't make me a liar. Tell me the truth, what level of education did you complete? Also, what is your mother tongue?

[lococavasa]

@brookylnmonk1 As i are anyone else in this world can not do it for you.

[lococavasa]

@brookylnmonk1 This all started as the result of you suggesting that my grammar was incorrect for suggesting an art that you can't find. I wasn't even referring for you to do a show on it actually i only asked if you know about it because i think it is a good art and wanted to share it with you. You bare your own fruits and harbor you can't take on someone else pain/suffering and knowledge. Don't try to correct me on something you cant even comprehend you have to lead your own life.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa I absolutely can comprehend and correct your grammar. That is fact and not opinion As for this art, this is, I believe, the eighth time I am asking, show me a written record which predates 1965.

[lococavasa]

@brookylnmonk1 Nothing but the life / energy you give to it. We have difference's in opinion. We are free to believe as we wish don't put other people down and expect not to get put down in return.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa no, this is not an opinion. This is a fact. You clearly lack education. Also, your art, clearly lacks documentation. You don't even know history. The story you told about Japanese invasion of china as relates to your art, refers to a war or incursion the history books seem to have missed. You can feel free to put me down for my education or knowledge of history, but it wouldn't seem logical, since, I haven't said anything wrong yet.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Actually this is both my space and my time. This is my channel, and I've allowed you to take a lot of my time. Respect isn't something you ask for. You earn it, by knowing what you are talking about and being good at what you do. You have only demonstrated to me that you can't write and that you follow a martial art with no recorded history. Beyond that, you seem to lack logic. You haven't addressed my many requests to produce any written record of your art. Why would I respect you?

[lococavasa]

@ brooklynmonk1 The only thing of respect i have heard from you was thanks for following my vids. It would be nice if you had the same respect given to what you know as other people. Don't expect to get respect for bashing on me. This is not your place are time.

[Cypeq]

lol

[DjRodimusPrimeXyZ]

can you visiit the monkey master again, does he have a website or a youtube channel, or facebook fan page. Id like to see more monkey kung fu, and other styles of kung fu as well this is one of my fav videos, which is hard, because i like all the videos all the same. keep up the good work, lastly I really enjoyed the last videos on Silat, will you be u/ling some more, maybe on Harimua Silat. thanks again.

[brooklynmonk1]

@DjRodimusPrimeXyZ I am in Taiwan right now, but not sure if I will train with Hisham.

[brooklynmonk1]

@DjRodimusPrimeXyZ I don't practice Harimau Silat, only Silat Kalam and Silat Tomoi

[W4EAN]

@brooklynmonk1 . nb: whe i say kung fu i mean systems like this watch?v=A8jNiuzqb-k

[W4EAN]

@brooklynmonk1 wow u certainly have not meet traditional kung fu master other than the shaolin dudes that u are talking about. if kung fu doesn't work how come it survived that long plus am not saying that kung fu are better than others but i believe they deserve credit.

[SoundwaveSuperior373]

i dun get ur logic here a couple of months ago u said to me kung fu cant fight and now ur saying kung fu can fight just wat do u have on ur mind neways

[brooklynmonk1]

@SoundwaveSuperior373 In this video, and in the accompanying magazine articles, I focus specifically on Master Hisham and his blend of traditional Kung Fu with his traditional Syrian wrestling with modern MMA and San Da. And yes, that combination can fight. But a normal Kung Fu guy doesn't stand a chance in any professional fighting venue anywhere.

[7Matahari7]

@brooklynmonk1 Do you think a true Shao-lin fighting monk does not stand a chance? They do some serious training and conditioning, not to mention the accuracy, power and technique they develop. Tayari Casel did quite well in the ring with Kung-Fu, are you familiar with him?

[brooklynmonk1]

@7Matahari7 As rule no, shaolin guys dont do well in professional fighting. I lived at Shaolin and sparred with a lot of guys during my months there and they were not nearly on par with Thailand, not even close. The proof of course would be to see how many Lumpini champions, K-1 Max, or pro champions came from Shaolin. The answer is very close to zero.

[7Matahari7]

@brooklynmonk1 Ok, so I guess basically you are saying with the handicaps and rules of sport ring fighting, traditional stylists will not do well. Maybe so. As far as I know, no authentic Shao-lin monk has ever tried fighting in these venues. It would be interesting to see. I'm curious of the outcome. I was asking this because I know you have trained directly with these styles. Thanx for the reply.

[MechPhantom]

@brooklynmonk1 so ur trying to say that MT guys will beat shaolin fighters badly is it? and btw u say u have been to shaolin, cool si, just asking do they fight good? and is the training there tough? thank you very much =)

[boogeyman712]

@MechPhantom Shaolin training is very tough, and Real Shaolin monks are very badass and not generally the nicest people when training under them. You'll have to do chores around the temple for a while before they even consider you for training, and will prolly kick you, and mess with you while you do it, to test you. A true Shaolin monk who has trained there for many years, I have no doubt would have an edge on any MMA fighter, but then again it does all come down to technique and skill.

[brooklynmonk1]

@boogeyman712 I trained at shaolin Temple and wrote a book, The Monk from Brooklyn, about my experience. It is tough training there. but other than the san da team NO ONE learns ANY fighting at all. and even just with my boxing skills i was able to beat all nearly all of the students fighting. if you add MMA, ground fight, they would stand NO CHANCE at all. there is NO ground fighting at Shaolin. There are some san da schools, and those guys fight well.

[brooklynmonk1]

@boogeyman712 It is not tue that you do chores before being taught. the kung fu monks are either directly appointed, or at the least, approved by the Beijing government. They are a huge source of revenue for the government. and they must teach anyone who pays money. There is no testing, except for the fact that training is long and brutal and never ending. None of the monks could possibly beat an MMA fighter.

[MechPhantom]

@brooklynmonk1 continued sir. Jus asking how hard is the training there do u mean? like what they train that makes it tough? is it the acrobatics training , horse stance or what? just being curious, hope you can explain more of their training so i can have a rough idea of it =) thank you very cu

[MechPhantom]

@boogeyman712 hmm last time i checked shaolin mnoks are just performers and mostly couldnt fight unless the ones in sanda team , which uses sanda to fight, others(mostly) cant fight. So i guees u nees to go to the temple itself to know whether they can fight or not like brooklynmonk, he knows best coz hes beens there so best is to listen to him. Dont believe what others say ,coz its just what they think and heard or seen from TV which are all not true.

[MechPhantom]

@boogeyman712 continued, for all we know behind all those fancy flashy moves , its just that they cant fight at ALL ! whos know maybe they coudnlt even hurt a fly lol ! peace seee you

[brooklynmonk1]

@7Matahari7 Tayari Casel is a great fighter, but, as far as I know, he never trained at the Shaolin temple. So, even if he were the undisputed fighting master of the universe, it wouldn't prove that shaolin monks can win in professional fighting.

[7Matahari7]

@brooklynmonk1I did not say he did, but he used Kung Fu and did very well in and out of the ring with it. The Shao-lin I mentioned based on their training and conditioning. You value Muay Chaiya right? But the top students fights here in youtube are pretty poor. I love the style myself but I doubt those guys would defeat a Cung Le (Sanda/Kung Fu) or an authentic Shao-lin practitioner of equal years training. If you mean "normal" as in the typical McKwoon "kung fu" schools in the west I agree.

[brooklynmonk1]

@SoundwaveSuperior373 This video, it is nearly two years old, so anything I told you a few months ago would be more recent. However, I don’t think I said in this video that kung fu can fight.

[W4EAN]

@brooklynmonk1 so u're saying that traditional kung fu guys can't fight ??? or only can't fight in competition where their are rules??

how do u think a traditional kung fu guy will do in a street fight... even against people that train in muay thai and other martial arts ???

[brooklynmonk1]

@W4EAN Kung fu cant fight. It is that simple. in Muay Thai and Khmer boxing the only thing you do is trian for fighting. in kung fu you dont. if you know a professional kung fu fighter in thailand please tell me his name. if you know one in cambodia please tell me hsi name. if you know one in philippines...do you see a pattern forming? There are ZERO kung fu guys fighting pro and if they fought a pro fighter outside of the ring they would also get creamed.

[jmikejapan]

@brooklynmonk1 If you don't think that kung fu works, then why did you train at Shaolin? Do you think it was a positive experience or not of much use in your personal opinion? Why don't you think they are good fighters? I understand the example you used for naming a shaolin champion, but what are they lacking in your opinion? Isn't that just sport? If it doesn't work, then why were the monks taught it?

Anyway, I'm just trying to better understand. I don't have experience in Shaolin arts.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Well what thye teach at shaolin isnt exsactly real gung fu it is a preformance dance wushu. If you wan't good kung fu look into tai chi taijiquan xingyiquan i think people mistake these arts as being none practicle but there are many useful techniques that & chinesse wrestling chin na all can be very good. Sad but true alot of the quote on quote shaolin shit they sell is CRAP. I agree 100 percent. Also see san soo choy lee fut eagle claw etc etc. Find your own style.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Not sure who you think you;re talking to, but I studied at Shaolin Temple in China. You can read my book, The Monk from Brooklyn, which is basically my diary from when I was in the temple. Other than that,. I have spent nearly three years in ROC and PROC. In fact I am writing from Taiwan right now. I've studied tai chi over here and about a million other martial arts. Not sure what you think your telling me that is new to me. where did you study in China?

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 WoW sounds like i hit a nerve are something. What i was referring to has nothing to do with your experience's. I was generalizing. Painting the picture of what i feel to be good & agree to as to the studies of shaolin kung fu lacking the effectiveness of mma. I believe some eternal styles to be basic and core for groundwork & can help pave the way for mma but not sport mma. I was sharing the styles that i like. Have you ever seen/experienced san soo?

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa If you are asking about san schau (san da) then yes, we practiced it when I lived in the temple and a lot of the guys who do muay thai in Taiwan are actually san schau guys.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 By san soo i meant san soo not san da san shou are chinesse kickboxing.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Yes, I know what san da and san schau are, as I pointed out, I live in China. San Soo? I haven't heard of San Soo. Do you have contact info for a master or a school? I could do a show on it.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1Google phillips school of kung fu san soo there a good directory there it should point you in the right direction.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa No, I'm not doing the leg work. If you want me to cover this art, tell me the name and location of the school in China where you trained.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Well then i don't know how your going to find a school. I never said i trained in china that's an assumption. In fact ive never been to china land and your not going to find a san soo kung fu school in china. As there are no teachers of that art in china.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa So what exactly was your suggestion then? I live in Asia. I train in Asia. I have a show about living and training in Asia. How exactly does your suggestion fit this format? Also, your telling me this Chinese art doesnt exist in China. So, I would be inclined to believe it simply doesn't exist. Are you recommending I go buy a plane ticket, fly back to the States and seek out a trainer because you made a spelling error?

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 WoW you really are a nervous wreck. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you wan't to take that route be my guess mean while ill keep studying keep contemplating and sharing my idea's and beliefs with my friends you and i have nothing to foster from each other as you can't even hear anything except for what you deem to be real. You like everyone else creates the world in there eye's. Just because you can't comprehend are difference's doesn't mean that there not real.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Not to mention this is youtube and a free forum at that were people are entitled to voice there opinions i can share anything i want. The purpose of having a forum is to share idea's not to insult others just to try and prove that somehow your more inclined because in this case your not you know nothing about me are what i know are can do and again i was just painting the picture but obviously your too head tripped to take things in without getting heated.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa You say I don't know you. I know you. You said you have never trained in China. You don't know the name or location of the master practicing this alleged martial art you made up. You made a suggestion to me which would be detrimental to my career if I accepted it and which makes no sense given the nature of my show. I also know you have a lot of grammar errors in your posts.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung. It is not a Buddhist art as there teaching are of a non-violent nature. You can come on here try to discern me spread your egotism and lie's im not going to take anymore time out of my life to try and explain to a bigot who can not accept that he has turned over his own fault found himself left in the mud wondering why he can not discern the nature of reality & rather something is real are not. You came on here trying to bash me for sharing what i know.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Once again, I can only barely follow what you have written, because of your grammar. But, from what I can understand, you are angry at me. And, you are calling me a bigot. At no point to did I make any racial slur of any kind. In fact, I grew up speaking Spanish and feel offended that you would misspell my language. I am not stuck in the mud. I am in Asia, living my dreams. And it isn't my faults I was pointing out to, but yours.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Please respond with specific answers: 1. what lies did I tell? 2. On what scale of measure would you estimate that i am uneducated? 3. Why do you have so many grammatical errors in your posts, and misspelled your name? 4. Why did you suggest I go find a martial art that doesn't exist and which you have never studied? Let's start with answers to those questions. If you believe you bring some value to the world, then let your mission start by having pity on me and educating me.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa One more question, Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung? What is that? And why did you even bring that into our conversation? It would seem your implying that I some how supported this Tsoi Li Ho Hung and you are somehow knocking it down. But since I don't know what that is, and have never heard of it, i couldn't possibly be arguing in favor of it.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung is San Soo kung fu. That is the Chinese way of pronouncing it. You say you did the research? Well then be honest about it. It was not invented in some shopping center as you suggest. Lie's you ask? What are the lie's for one were did you get off telling me i was making a grammatic error when i first began telling you about this art. That i was wrong for saying it was Chinese. I was wrong for even suggesting it.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Because you did make grammatical errors. each of your posts has a number of grammatical errors. ask a friend who graduated high school or college. that is not a lie. next, the Chinese way of writing anything is with Chinese characters. i can't think of any character that corresponds to the sound "soo' so please send me the character so i can know.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Here is the quote about san soo "Master Lee's Kung Fu San Soo is located on 6th St. in the Stater Bros. shopping center. Master Lee's Kung Fu San Soo" I checked about five websites and they all seemed to have copied and recopied the same source, telling about a san soo master killing a Japanese regimental karate champion. but there was no source, the first source seems to have been the master's website.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 For that your a fool. I have a lot more respect for other people and there arts then to put myself on that level of thinking. I hope you find peace in what you do but i don't care for your bashing on me. If you wen't and educated yourself you might find some useful knowledge.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa I may be a fool, but i spelled my screen name right. You can't even spell your own name lococavasa means nothing. As for education, I have a post graduate degree from Trinity College, University of London. i did four years of applied linguistics studies and research at University of Mainz, Germersheim, Germany, and have been in school full time for about half of the 10 years I have been in Asia. I speak 9 languages. I think I qualified as educated.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa I don't know what you can do? I know you can't write a coherent English sentence. Also, your name is wrong. I think you meant "Loco cabeza" crazy head. but the way you've written it, it means "crazy diggings" which means nothing. So, you can't write English. Can't speak Spanish. And you don't actually practice the fictitious martial art of san soo. You lead a sad life.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Again your criticism is not being asked for. I hope that whatever you do you do it right. Your trying to spread your egotism. How can you say anything based on the pretense of not even knowing the origins? I suggest you go do some research to find out about these things yourself. Don't take my word for it but i can tell you that san soo has been a secret family art. In 1932 when the Japanese invaded mainland china many san soo practioners were killed machine gun fire

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa The Japanese invaded China in 1937, The Second Sino-Japanese War. Perhaps you should do some research.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 As a martial artist why would you even begin by bashing on someone else you know nothing about are the art they speak of ?And even know you make points of view not to share your knowledge but to disprove another person i have no time for you. Your a fool for even bringing your spite into the conversation. Try this talk to other people with respect. There are ways of saying what you feel without putting other people down and as far as the screen name goes it means absolutely

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 This action lead to the near disappearance of the art. This happened because the regional karate champion was defeated in a death match. This was to be a public display of the power of the Japanese conquerors. Had it not been for Chin Siu Dek the emergence of Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung would not exist today as a testimony for the people and it ferocious power. Tsoi Li Ho Fut Hung is san soo here in america we call it San Soo not tsoi Li Hung. But in mainland china it was known as.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa I just looked up San Soo. It is an art invented by and taught by a single instructor in a shopping center in California in 1965. I have nothing against any martial art. and if people practice it and makes them happy and healthy, that is great. But if the art doesnt exist in China. if it has no written history, before the dojo was opened in the shopping center, then it is not something that I would ever incorporate in my show or my books or articles.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 WoW your a winner making things up to back your claims spreading more lie's and egotism. I was not speaking of the Sino- Japanese war. In fact that action has nothing to do with the war it happened as the result of the Japanese trying to prove the power of karate it was to be a fight to the death. You have no respect for the martial arts. Don't expect respect for talking down to someone when you don't even have the knowledge to know the difference.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa A war has never been fought between China and Japan because of martial arts. In 1931 there was a short, skirmish fought between Japan and China. But you said Japan inveaded China. That happened in 1937. I am not a liar. you are just extremely uneducated. many books have been written about WWII. You should read one.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Don't confuse the fact that i have respect for you with i have no respect for martial arts. You come across as extremely uneducated. You still haven't explained why you make so many grammatical errors or why your screen name is misspelled, although i have asked more than once.

[MechPhantom]

@brooklynmonk1 continued im not sure but ppl say that sanda guys keep winning MT guys why is it so ? T_T

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Could you tell me were this site is you claim? What about the instructors name? If not ill be forced to believe that your proper-gating more lies to try to disprove an art you obviously don't understand i can tell you that it was not invented in a shopping mall and in fact is a very old MA.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa You see, there is an error. It's not proper-gating. that word doesn't exist. it's propagating. Don't you have spell check on your computer? you yourself told me that there are no masters and no schools in China. So, I believe it was invented when the master went to America. But regardless of what i believe, you will need to find an independent record of the existence of the art.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 As far as invasion i already mentioned i was not speaking of war but the act of the challenge from the regional karate champion. My tone is not anger just more are less upset maybe you don't hear how you come across but when you start talking about an art then in reference tell the person who has actually studied the art that they have a grammatical error in there thinking your going to have a dispute and problems well arise from it.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Also there are a lot of martial arts who's history is shrouded in mystery A example bokator did it influence the Thais Are the Thais influence the people of Kramer? Krav maga ive read articles quoting that it was not a isreal martial art in fact it was made up by it's founder. If we go back to India the mother of martial arts some say they brought martial arts to Asia and credit for the creation of shaolin kung fu in the temples i say b.s. Hwa rang do people question it.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 And the list could go on and on. Im sure being a martial artist you can see that many of the arts are lost when the founders take the knowledge with them to the grave and many more are made up especially in china there are thousands of kung fu styles i mean a ton a lot and no one has brain enough to put it all together sadly a lot of the Chinese arts are losing way do to wushu a dance.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 I don't have all the answers for you and im tired of typing crap up to try and get simple manners across you should never have started talking bs to me in the first place Peace and goodbye.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa If you google the word san soo, and check the top five results, they all are drawn from the exact same source. Here is what it says on the wikipedia page "suggests there is no verification and authoritative source of info. Its neutrality is disputed. It may contain original research or unverifiable claims.

Its tone or style may not follow a formal encyclopedic form. It may contain improper references to self-published sources."

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Ok so you have done some research also it says on the Wikipedia site that Kung Fu San Soo itself was chosen by Woo to simplify the pronunciation and meaning for American students. You keep asking about the name there is your answer. As far as schools go it was Chin Siu Dek (Jimmy H. Woo) who was responsible for its emergence here to america and i already told you im not Mexican and cavasa doesn't mean anything other than the life/energy you give it.

[lococavasa]

@brookylnmonk1 If you read about the history of the art it makes sense as to why it is not in china & as i mentioned earlier it was a family secret art. On Wikipedia it reads Jimmy H. Woo, Chin Siu Dek opened his own studio in El Monte, California to teach his family art but i guess that's all made up & the man known as jimmy H woo is a lier you want some kind of proof but i can't give you proof all i can do is paint a picture you choose were you go in life as that's not up to me are anyone else

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Please stop referencing the wikipedia article as evidence. Wikipedia doesnt believe the article, so either do i. I have asked you for any independent evidence or history and you have failed to produce any.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa the secret family art that no one knows about, except a dead master, is the oldest swindle in martial arts. Bullshido recently ran an article on how to make your self into a fake master and that was one of the first lessons. You say that you learned the art from a secret master, who is not in any history books or newspapers and who is now dead, so the story can't be verified. if you invent yoru own art, it can't be compared to anything. So, you win.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Had you just asked about the art without the side comments i would have no problem and really what reliance does it give either one of us? The only person i would want to make sure i am speaking there language correct to is the person who actually speaks that language obviously you do not. I could care less about such matters & my name would only need to be corrected if i was speaking it to a mexican because it would be poor grammar but again it's not correct.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa i do speak Spanish and English well. What do you mean by this? Your name is not a grammatical error. you seem ty not understand the difference between grammar and spelling. As I pointed out earlier, your name is a spelling error. Your posts, in English, are riddled with grammar issues.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 & i am not using it to talk to Mexicans. i have very poor Spanish i couldn't even hold a conversation with a Mexican in there tongue let alone spell all the words i know correctly. I would need a good teacher to teach me if i wanted to do that.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa yuo see? You just said "In there tongue." that is wrong. It should be "in their tongue."

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 And i don't think that wikipedia has all the answers although it a good resource it doesn't have all the answers if you really went technical you could talk to jimmy but that wouldn't be possible today because he is dead.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa once again, about wikipedia, I absolutely do not believe the information on the san soo entry of wikipedia. I think i made that clear. What I do believe, is when the wikipedia administration says that the entry is not believable because it is not supported by any historical documents or references. So, yes, I do believe wikipedia administration. Or, are you maintaining that the article actually is supported by documentation?

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 All i can tell you is what i know/understand you should be worrying more about yourself & what you can do not about what others do. I don't care rather are not you study the art i only care that you don't try and tell me i am wrong are uneducated because i understand things you do not. It seem's like you really have a very dominate personality like you want to be in control of everything that is said. I like to share thing's but i don't accept correction when it isn't needed.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa You see? More garmmatical errors. "I don't care rather are not you study the art." That should be "whether or not." You also said, "i only care that you don't try and tell me i am wrong are uneducated" this should be, "I only care that you don't try to tell me I am wrong and uneducated." But you clearly are uneducated. Your grammar is terrible and you don't seem to understand the basic tenets of research, for example, independent factual verification.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 You said it was invented in a shopping center were is your proof to that? You also say i studied with a dead master WoW no i studied with a master as there are many san soo masters but never did i studie with woo. That would not be possible. In fact what we are suggested is that woo brought it to america. There are many family arts. Especially in china i don't question these things myself as much as what i am taught and rather are not it works.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 And i am not making any judgement about the arts you do and practice and demanding verification of them. I know there real ive seen your vids and i also know san soo is real aside from the note lets just keep it simple and up sept what were told without all the criticism i was not lying to you so i am not making it all up. The only way anyone finds answers for themselves is to look inside themselves for the answers and sometime you got to do a little leg work yourself.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa "keep it simple and up sept what were told" that should be "accept what we were told.": And I absolutely do not accept what I am told. I do research. So, my books often differ from what the master told me, if I find that he was repeating hearsay, rather than fact. I don't believe you are lying to me. I believe you are a bit simple and you were taken in. It's not your fault.

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Then you say that the school is inside a shopping center but lee is not credited with bringing it to america therefore it is not possible that lee invented it.The first recognized san soo school was brought to america by the master jimmy h woo. I suppose the woo is a liar isn't Chinese doesn't have a family art. WtF could i tell you that aside from the fact that we have are differences that this art is anymore real are fake then any other art? Nothing.

[lococavasa]

@lococavasa To defend oneself. One studies the martial arts to learn self defense among many other things. The arts of war were created for survival

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Your a critic a hard critic at that. Your commit about my grammatic error when i first told you that there are no schools in china was not even needed. How in the hell am i making a grammatic error in the first place i never even suggested you go outside of Asia in fact i was sharing a art i value. You don't have the same feeling's as me on the martial arts so why am i still wasting my time trying to tell you about an art that you want to discredit?

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa It's not "commit" it's "comment"> Do they just not have schools where you live? You still don't seem to know what grammar is. Grammar means the rules of writing the English language. And you write it like a slow fourth grader. To answer your other question, I also have no idea why you are wasting you time on me. But, since I am over here in China, actually training and exploring, and you aren't and never have been, it is strange that you think I'm not a real martial artist.

[MechPhantom]

@lococavasa san soo sucks bro its san shou not san soo bro, no such thing as san soo

[lococavasa]

@brooklynmonk1 Probably because i would like it if people actually new about what they are making claims about and had respect but honestly im wasting my time here. What i have been trying to share with you. Your whole purpose is to discredit. There no respect on your part & do i care what ever the hell you want study? NO I can honestly tell you this whole heartedly san soo is no more fake than jeet kune do krav maga are any other ma respectively as they all lead to the same purpose & design.

[brooklynmonk1]

@lococavasa Apprently you do care, or you would have given up. There is no historical record of san soo, before 1965 when "Jimmy H. Woo, Chin Siu Dek opened his own studio in El Monte, California to teach his family art in about 1962.[1]" If this was a real art, why is there no record in China? And, why was the first school in USA not opened until more than twenty years after he went to America?

[Gieszkanne]

Hisham has a german accent and has a German flag in his Dojo in Taiwan. Strange.

[brooklynmonk1]

@Gieszkanne Yeah, that is weird, especially since Antonio is Chinese. I wonder if this video suggests that they allow foreigners to visit and even work in Taiwan? Maybe that's just to far-fetched though. I am sure there is just some mistake here. Who ever heard of people moving from one country to another?

[xZibeGx]

@Gieszkanne hisham was born in germany and moved to taiwan to learn more about monkey kung fu

[samuraiixi]

awesome stuff. Its almost like its own talk show, thank you so much for this video.

well done, thanks

[OttawaLoneWolf]

yo Anton ! you too kind look a like ! must be the same hair cut

[hunggarguy]

empty your cup and drink only Chinese tea.

[wonphi]

funny thing is that unlike what the description says, this monkey master did not combine traditional MA with modern MMA and kickboxing.

What he does is purely traditional chinese martial arts. Plain and simple.

[brooklynmonk1]

actually the monkey master combines modern kick boxing and grappling with chinse martial art. i lived and trained there for a year. i am fairly certain on this point.

[wonphi]

@brooklynmonk1

well I might not know. I plan to visit him some time to check this all out.

What I was saying was that everything shown in the video, from conditioning, to training, to techniques, medicine and etc. That's all traditional MA training. What this master does outside of the video, I am unaware, but what it shown in the video is all traditional MA from my knowledge and training experience.

Interesting videos you have. Keep it up.

[brooklynmonk1]

cool, understood, there are more monkey master videos on my channel and also some called MMA training and you are right chinese MA does a lot of the same stuff, but you can check it out. are you in taiwan?

[wonphi]

@brooklynmonk1

no I am not in Taiwan right now, but I love traveling during the Summer holidays, Taiwan is definitely a place I would love to go.

cheers!

[BioVitus]

does anyone know the name of the song and performer that goes in the background. ich ni san shi is heard...

[brooklynmonk1]

@BioVitus the song is called ninja, inchinese, "ren he" by jau chow, chinese "cho jay ren"

[TnyCheth007]

Monkey style! , that cool stuffs, and there are lots of technics we could get from different animal too.

[k2vaja00]

He is not THE monkey master, he is A monkey master. Good stuff though, I agree.

[sayawngkamatayan]

really good stuff hope we can bring the master to the phil so he can fight over here.see you when you cove to the phil next month.

[TheHerm18]

This looks great. I studied a village style of hung gar for a couple of years in Florida. We used to practice our hammer fists and swing punches on tires like Sifu Hisham uses. It's a blast!

[MDIS]

Quote:

Celebrate Our Differences.

Rejoice in Our Similarities.

We are all different yet we bled the same blood , the same anatomy and we even have the similarities such as cusines , system of combat and lifestyle.

Master Hisham is well known in Taiwan and he is a very special master with great techniques.

And yes , brother , he is a muslim.

And he's teaching Chinese Martial Art?

That is nothing new brother.

There are lots of Chinese Martial Art Masters in U.S.A who are muslims

[kuntaoer]

Now we are talking.. Tainan Taiwan is a great place to train.. I studied in Taichung when I was there.. It is great to see the traditional CMA covered in your journey.. I applaude your training ambition to get exposure to the CMA and use it the way it was originally meant to be used..

[hotpopcorncake]

thats was interesting

[jmikejapan]

Awesome! Antonio, keep those videos coming! You have my dream job, I'm SO JEALOUS !

[XBLOCKS]

Is the brother Muslim? There looks like some arabic symbology on his wall. Asalaamualaikim.

Hey Brooklyn MOnk. I enjoyed your book about Shaolin. Good stuff, had a lot of laughs too. Love to see your videos. In my opinion a person should never train to block. They should train to evade. No good fighter will commit his body with a single punch. Still love the footage.

Peace

[brooklynmonk1]

Thanks for watching the videos and for reading my books. Yes, Hisam is Muslim. i hope we can show the world the positive mix of Buddhist, Catholic and Muslim

[XBLOCKS]

Without a shadow of a doubt. I have lived in Egypt for 4 years, and now I am doing a short stint here in Beijing China. WOW. SO much to see in this world. The people of the world share a common love regardless of religion or creed. Its sadly the government, politics, and Propaganda that try to seperate us and cause dissent. When are you coming back to China? Would love to train with you bro. Im heading back to Paris next month, but it would be great to cross paths one day.

Peace

[haniffali]

monkey master, cool. i would like to see him do some monkey style.
