I believe, he has the best demonstration because it's nicely smooth and slow, you can actually follow along with him, if you are familiar with this form!!!!
also, for those of you bashing this masters form/technique, I would like to see any of you at his age do better. obviously you have never seen an elderly master perform. i bet none of you disrespectful punks would challenge this old man or his students! if i was the teacher of you disrespectful punks and saw your comments, i would take you to this master, make you kow tow, and wouldn't teach you another lesson till he forgave you!
@SijoJay Oh c'mon. I wasn't exactly bashing him - I said it may just be due to age - in fact his techniques are solid, IMO! Someone was asking why he was doing the form like that - well beginners whose shape to copy - after all there are plenty of other vids w/ better SHAPES/FORMs, nothing more. In fact, a very famous Karate master that everyone else praises here on youtube (whom I won't mention) receives critiques for form from my sensei but he acknowledges the effectiveness of the techniques.
it is amazing to me how ignorant martial arts practitioners can be. just because a form isn't exactly the same as the popular version you may have learned doesn't mean it isn't the same style/system. you learn Wong Fei Hung/Lam Sai Wing branch and think that is the only branch of Hung Family, just like Wing Chun practitioners learn Ip Man branch and think it is the only branch of Wing Chun. knowledge is priceless, gain some!
someone can answer me: i practice karate and the way to execute form is different, but why kung fu forms seems to have no rithm? Another question why sometimes it seems to have no balance and no power like in the jump and the kick at 2.11 and at 4.41? thanks for the answers
@nico52015 the rythym, power and balance depends on who is doing the form. Frankly I can tell you this. this guy is either doing the form like this on purpose to show the sequence, or he just isn't very good.
watch?v=M7vRlY9YhdQ
this guy isn't even a master in kung fu, but you can tell he knows what he is doing.
@nico52015 Well I've practiced Hung Gar and am now in Shotokan, so from what I've seen is that Karate's great for fine-tuning movements that are for power. There's a great emphasis on Zanshin and Kime, ready for anything. Nevertheless, from the way people spar (esp. in the lower levels), the moves are rigid, usually meeting force with force. In Kung Fu, the emphasis is in mixing softness within the hardness. You can see there are movements for power 1:27 for example, is very similar to a
Karate punch, hip twist and everything. Then you see that there are softer circular moves around it. Defeating hardness with softness, overcoming softness with hardness. At the beginning stages, there is rhythm but after you get good, it should have no rhythm at all and all the moves should flow into one another with tensions within the movement itself, a big contrast from Karate's well defined perspective of the fight.
From what I've experienced though, many techniques are very similar. IMO, Hung Gar and Shotokan are very good compliments. After training in both, you'll be able to fine-tune your body with elements of each.
Btw, this guy's form isn't good at all if you were wondering, but it may just be due to age (Karateka are the same but once you've been hit, whoa!)
I am not a student of Hung Ga, instead I study in a number of different traditional Okinawan and contemporary styles. Being a student of different styles other than the kind showcased here, it is very interested to watch a form like this. While I may ignorantly question the effectiveness of some of the hand strikes, I am very intrigued by his foot wook and the foundation of his stances. I'm a bit critical of some of the strikes, but I can truly see how Hung Ga stances are some of the best!
Very similar to my school's gung gi fuk fu. We are the Lam Sai Wing/Tang Fung lineage. It is amazing to see the similarities. A lot of what I see in Hung Gar on the web is a very different style.
A liitle different to mine but easy to see it is gung gee fuk foo keun, he does it with a nice amount of power, how old is he? as looks quite young until you get close and can see he's not as young as you first think. great clip
@dHARMa187 Hung Gar Kuen forms can differ because of differences in lineage or maybe training techniques. So, yes, all forms differ between schools for these two reasons.
I, for one, LOVE this form! And ... who cares if this form or that form is better than another one. That is just silly talk! A true martial artist knows how to respect. He/She does not offer ignorant criticisms!
the form is only one aspect of a true martial artist, if you have studied hung gar.. you can see the good techniques in the form, good weight transfers/ and stances, applying these techniques are another story. from viewing this briefly thats difficult to judge but he has good soft smooth composure with each movement
wow i havent seen hung being played like this ever! Amazing to see that they could be versions that look this different but yet still share enough to be recognised as hung gar technique.
Did you mean that in a positive or negative? No offense intended of course; I'm just not well versed in Hung Gar to know what is a good showing of a form.
