@Frostbite864 As it says in the description, the video is for his own personal reference. At the time the video was made, he was an instructor of the kwoon you see here. The job implies that he needed to memorize both empty hand forms and weapon forms from Seven Star Praying Mantis, Chang Chuan, and Wah Lum kung fu styles. Think of the video as a general outline for the Wah Lum 3 section staff to aid in teaching, not a symptom of vanity.
@mcprorck that what i seems like, but actually very different, the the section staff is used alot like escrima sticks. my instructor practiced with nunchucks and thought he could do the 3 sec staff, and told me he hit himself a lot, they are 2 different weapons for a reason ^.^
@maximusgladi8or Jet Li was a member of the BeiJing Wushu team in the eraly 70's and he used all sorts of weapons. A requirement actually to be a team member, He was especially good at the broadsword.And yes he wore clothes THAT baggy, Chinese uniforms ar pretty much the same. He sometimes wore the pants and a shirt similar to a polo shirt.
@mcprorck They sell shorter ones meant for people of smaller stature. However it would not matter, with proper control you could use any length of san jie gun. The real key is mastering your fear. I would recommend having two, a foam one and a wooden one. The foam for trying out new techniques, and the wooden for practicing them and mastering them.
Im 6,1" tall and they scared the crap outta me when I first tried, 3yrs on Im still learning but not as scared. If I was your age i'd jump at the chance.
great job, James! I appreciate how you perform each movement slowly and clearly so that others can learn from you. I only remember parts of this set that you taught me, and this is helping me get back into practicing it.
For all those haters that have commented; listen, this guy can really use this weapon - I've seen it - he is doing us a favor by demonstrating, slowly, its use. Anyone who knows this weapon must realize it is very difficult to use a sanzi slowly. Xiexie, James!
@centexshaolin "it is very difficult to use a sanzi" Tell me about it. When my Sifu gave me the school, he gave me a three section staff learn on my own using what I already knew, and really, that weapon frightens me, even before I clubed myself in the balls.
To beginners, if you apply yourself to your training this is one of the many things you will learn, isn't it cool?
Real advanced students would look on a fellow martial artist and say "good job, it will look even better with more practice".
a sifu would keep a long comment to himself and say something criptic-technical like "good control of the weapon" , "or good showing" or even better my favorite, "MMmmhh" with a couple of nods .
that was a nice form and long too. I was just curious do you ever hit anything with them. i do nunchaku and strike my bad and I was gonna get some of those I just dont know if you could do that as easily.
Hey This is my kungfu brother james he does 7 star preying mantis they ar in louisiana.His Sifu teacher name is sifu Perry he very good.They are with the kungfu exchange in texas he learned from Gm raymond fogg who also taught David lee roth in Van Halen and Cynthia rothrock.Were both are sihing brothers James is truly with Sifu Perry this is real shaolin Kungfu.we do all the 18 weapons
Shodan1989 he does Wah Lum 7 star preying Mantis.His teacher is Sifu Perry their in Louisianna.They're Grandmaster is GM Raymond Fogg in Texas,who is the disciple of GM Pan chui the 33 gen which open the 1st shaolin temple in america in orlando Fl.They also teaches all 18weapons & teach tradition shaolin Kungfu.
All i can say is great form work dude! Bet it took ages to get that down and it looks great. Yeah so the stances may not have been perfect but from what ive just sen i bet you could make it abit tidier no problem.
Lots of armchair psuedo masters making negative comments here. "Lose the pants?" What an idiot!!..That was an excellant demonstration of the weapon. I like the floor stops.
Hey Taiwan16888 this guy is really good he very fast and flexible & really nows his stuff.I use 2 train with him when they would come down to rochester.He only moved at this pace so you can see his movements because at full speed u woulldnt be able to c anything.He is Sifu Perry top student Sifu Perry learned from Sifu fogg at the kung exchange 7 * mantis.He my younger kungfu brother he's very advanced.He an expert with all 18 weapons and hand forms.this is an advance form not a beginners set.
Stances are ok, they could be better, but they are decent. I hate to say it sicne i mad a comment on another video of yours, Lose the pants. Unless you are going for a comedic look. The baggy pants make it tougher to show off good stances.
If the form or kuen is to be performed slowly you should really care about your stances, the ones in this video are completly up, like if he was doing the form standing.
Not very much... The recoil is important to learn, you use your body to slow or stop the weapon. Not your head though :p
I've been using these things for about 2-3 months, and only hit myself in the head once because I wasn't being careful. As long as you don't play around and have common sense, then you won't get hit too hard :p
It's effective range is incredibly long. It adds 9 feet in any direction when swung. That's about 40 cubic feet. That's probably the farthest of any melee weapon. XD
@AphelionDustwake kung fu has skill requirements. and basics requirements.
this man is not accurate in his movements. and he is slow. and his stances are poor. and he lacks basic control of weapons. he should work his basics, then go on to practicing an easier weapon first.
i taught myself, but i had eight years of experience with nunchaku, six years of experience with a bo staff, and one year with a san-setsu-kon nunchaku (basically a nunchaku with three bars, each bar about a foot long). i tried to simultaneously use a broadsword and a three-section staff, in an attempt to build on the idea of a broadsword and a chainwhip.
LOL yeah i taught myself how to use a chainwhip a broad sword a straight sword 3 sections staff and nunchaku, i learned a lot of Bo-staff from my teacher, tho, and i can say, if i hadnt had my cup in while i was practicing whip or 3sections staff, i would hav hurt myself real bad, cuz i did smack myself there with a chainwhip like 3 times and smacked myself in the head with a 3 section staff and yeah it hurts.
Ha, you have a teacher!!! i don't... so I got the taste of more things hitting me in the face! Are you pretty good? I make weird weapons.. and kick my own ass with them. :( but oh well, it is fun. :o
san-setsu-kon nunchaku? interesting. Would you mind showing us? I have one that I made... but I can't use it!!! You have interesting ideas. I should give them a go, maybe. :) Thanks a bunch!
@LaWMaKeRzX shut the hell up, cant believe someone who is supposed to be humble and tolerant can be racist like u, u dont deserve to live, we dont live in a racist world anymore, so get the fuck out
reminds me of that last fight scene in Fearless...at least i THINK its called Fearless...3 section staff versus katana i believe...pretty cool stuff :D
It looks like are just starting with the 3 section staff, keep practicing that same routine and try to speed it up to a point that looks a little impressive.
Pretty harsh and critical comments. The aim of of Kung Fu should be to live a longer, healthier, happier life. I have seem many sets done different ways. Some because of the physical limitations of the practicioner. Some were cut short due to time. Whatever the reason, the important thing is to get the essence of the set and use good technique. Based on that the set looks fine. Definately can be done better, but what set couldn't be improved upon. Have fun. This is a great weapon.
Yet again a WL form done wrong. It's not your fault though, i'm sure you were taught that way. But I assure you, there's a bunch of things missing/incorrect about it.
ya gotta watch out for a 3 section staff, i have mine, but my mom is soooooooo afraid of me hitting myself into a coma that she wont let me use free-hand training untill my master tought me how to use it correctly
you gotta reeeaaaally watch out for that... the first time you try a 3 section staff, its pretty hard... ive only had mine for 2 days but im getting used to it very quickly.
remember with them, if you hit something with the middle piece, the end will probably hit something as well... like a whip. Hit yourself with the middle, and I gaurantee that you're going to hit yourself with the end as well. (maybe spelled gaurantee wrong)
*Applauds* nice finishing pose. Just a little advise, and i dont think it's major but try to relax your shoulders. I do tai chi and kung fu and found out that if you relax your shoulders, it really looks a lot cleaner. Again, it was very small and not really noticable. Good job, again, man.
why dont you try getting used to attaching weights or making a heavier tri staff for your forms? it would seriously tear up your arms and you get better when you switch back.
No, if you can do it SLOW, you have skill. Skill is not always about speed. By practicing at a slow pace doing it at a fast pace becomes easier. (the moves are set in the 'memory of your body')
Excellent form with a nice spread of techniques, and doing it is great fun. Many thanks for sharing this widely to those who are not able to be part of the wah lum tradition "proper".
he's doing this slow for demonstration purposes.he can probably go much faster. I'm kind of curious to know what style this is. I got a 3 section staff as a present and wanted to know what I should train in to use the weapon properly.I'm aware that it's an advanced weapon and I wont just start out using it. Also I really havent had any formal training in any martial art but I want to learn.
The 3 section staff has its foundation in staff movements. I recomend learning the movements (expecially flowering and over the head & behind the back movements) with the staff first. It will help you devlop a solid foundation in your techequie and its defenatly less painfull. (Please excuse my spelling errors)
About hitting the ground, some people use it as the way people use it in hand forms.
People punch there hands and kicks sometimes to simulate contact, and it keeps your body aware to what your mind is doing, or vise versa (depending on what kinda person you are :P ) Great job!
I'm not a martial artist or anything, but I did find this video very interesting and informative. Most of the time people use the three section staff too fast for me to follow, so it was intriguing to see each movement clearly like that. Great demonstration.
Hi, I put these up for my cousin, but I brought up your question. I can't remember the exact reasons he gave (they were detailed) but he basically said the purpose for the staff hitting the ground the way it does is for control purposes and that you try to strike at certain angles to reduce the chances of the staff bouncing back.
Actually, I do have one thing that has raised my curiosity. What exactly is the purpose of the tip of the staff hitting the ground? Is that a method of re-establishing control, establishing a distance of some sort, or does it preform some function in battle? Or is it something I've totally missed?
Awesome control on that, and seriously informative too. I can do just about anything that was shown here, but just from watching this once I've begun to understand how to gain better control during my routine. Thanks for posting this. 5 stars and favorited

*Applauds* nice finishing pose. Just a little advise, and i dont think it's major but try to relax your shoulders. I do tai chi and kung fu and found out that if you relax your shoulders, it really looks a lot cleaner. Again, it was very small and not really noticable. Good job, again, man.

why dont you try getting used to attaching weights or making a heavier tri staff for your forms? it would seriously tear up your arms and you get better when you switch back.

If you can go fast with that kind of technique, then you have serious skill.
Bananaman1234567 4 years ago
No, if you can do it SLOW, you have skill. Skill is not always about speed. By practicing at a slow pace doing it at a fast pace becomes easier. (the moves are set in the 'memory of your body')

Excellent form with a nice spread of techniques, and doing it is great fun. Many thanks for sharing this widely to those who are not able to be part of the wah lum tradition "proper".

That was great, dude. Thanks for going slow enough for me to see what was going on. It was easy to learn from.

he's doing this slow for demonstration purposes.he can probably go much faster. I'm kind of curious to know what style this is. I got a 3 section staff as a present and wanted to know what I should train in to use the weapon properly.I'm aware that it's an advanced weapon and I wont just start out using it. Also I really havent had any formal training in any martial art but I want to learn.

The 3 section staff has its foundation in staff movements. I recomend learning the movements (expecially flowering and over the head & behind the back movements) with the staff first. It will help you devlop a solid foundation in your techequie and its defenatly less painfull. (Please excuse my spelling errors)

Looks like a more traditional style form, not the Wushu I keep seeing. From what family does it come?
Pretty decent control, and clear enough to see what is being done.

Very well done, hit the marks very clean.
About hitting the ground, some people use it as the way people use it in hand forms.
People punch there hands and kicks sometimes to simulate contact, and it keeps your body aware to what your mind is doing, or vise versa (depending on what kinda person you are :P ) Great job!

I'm not a martial artist or anything, but I did find this video very interesting and informative. Most of the time people use the three section staff too fast for me to follow, so it was intriguing to see each movement clearly like that. Great demonstration.

Hi, I put these up for my cousin, but I brought up your question. I can't remember the exact reasons he gave (they were detailed) but he basically said the purpose for the staff hitting the ground the way it does is for control purposes and that you try to strike at certain angles to reduce the chances of the staff bouncing back.
Heibie 5 years ago
Actually, I do have one thing that has raised my curiosity. What exactly is the purpose of the tip of the staff hitting the ground? Is that a method of re-establishing control, establishing a distance of some sort, or does it preform some function in battle? Or is it something I've totally missed?
GreyAcumen 5 years ago
both, u use it to strike down the opponent and u gain control if ur tip isout of balance but he wasnt out of balance at the time
KyoJin000 5 years ago
Awesome control on that, and seriously informative too. I can do just about anything that was shown here, but just from watching this once I've begun to understand how to gain better control during my routine. Thanks for posting this. 5 stars and favorited
