Kwong Sai Jook Lum 江西竹林寺螳螂派: 三步箭 / 勁 : 吐勁, 浮勁, & 沉勁.

[JFSpringer]

In looking at the level the hands move on the guy must be fighting a midget ... shame on you for picking on the Little People.

[JookLumFist]

watch my other clips. if you want a my input on a particular scenario, send me a clip of an attack and i'll respond with a video post.

What are those *Rings* for, I am not sure what he just did, but it looks like some "internal power generation" techniques I guess ? Is this Kwong Sai Jook Lum Praying Mantis any practical for real life self defence ?

[JookLumFist]

Rings can be used to weight training, but most importantly to build bone density and slighty calus the skin. Eventually your forearms will be able to take a lot of beating without injury.

[OakIslandBandit]

I really like this form,I've never trained Kwong Sai Jook Lum,but many of the movements feel and look very natural to me,I train Bak Mei.Is the power generation similar? Is this the foundation to Kwong Sai Jook Lum like Jek bo is to Bak Mei?

Thank you for posting,great explanation on how tigers maintain their strength

[JookLumFist]

No problem. Take 3 step arrow for example or Hung kuen's teet seen Kuen (iron wire). Both perfect examples of dynamic tension training.

[JookLumFist]

It is simliar yet different. They both share the cocept of float, sink, swallow, and spit, triangle stance, and phoenix eye. Also share the use of elbows in and a hollow back. In Jook Lum, there is no practice of sei ping ma. Strikes are mainly at the first bridge while back mei uses a lot of the 2nd bridge (butting with the forearm). Jook Lum has same range of motion as wing chun and xing yi, yet with a tai chi feel.

[JookLumFist]

That would be me. I accidentally removed your post by clicking the wrong tab. My name is Alex.

Personally, I like this style vey much, and enjoy watching the fast movements of the sets. However, I usually cannot catch the movements one by one. Thanks to you for demonstrating them so clearly ! It drives out my euphoric hormones in my brain !

[JookLumFist]

The real ones are brass, yet these ones are still enough to make my radius red and give it some weight, which is a work out. Thanks for your other comment though. No intension of being a star, but I do try hard to preserve the precious art. keep in touch!

[ahhingme]

These rings serves more as a musical instruments,than generating any benefits.Its good for putting on a show,but serves no practical purpose,unless you use the real ones. At least he got some form,and able to adapt.Not like some other monkeys out there performing without form,and already wants to be a star.Don't stop at stardom,but practice deeper and harder,and you may become a rising mantis star.Drop the toy rings.

im going to assume that the weights are to condition ur hands to feel the pressure of oppnenet when bridging

[JookLumFist]

almost all chinese kung fu martial artist who are comfortable with hand to hand combat will have some sort of relationship to 3 step. 3 levels low medium high of attack and 3 levels of energies : float, sink, and spit. (expansion, contraction, and uncoiling body mechanics). Similar to Taiji's peng, lu, & an.

[JookLumFist]

weights are for:

1) dynamic tension which forces all the minor and major muscle fibers to be excercised other than just the moment of impact. this is how tigers maintain their strength without having to run all the time.

2) builds bone density and toughens the vasculature.

after a few weeks of training, you will not bruise as your body can withstand much weight and resistance. Just as squats and push ups do. Of course, within healthy limits as to not cause any tendonitis or tears.

[kaindrg]

are most southern style considered anti Qing ?

[JookLumFist]

actually most kung fu styles were. the kung fu salute of many styles show the union of one open palm and one closed fist. many, many, many meanings to this. one of them means ming. closed fist = sun & open palm = moon, together = ming. "support the ming and down with the qing." some buddhist monks show the prayer position which is peaceful and non political.

[kaindrg]

@JookLumFist sweet >> cool do most southern mantis forms build on this three step form?

[JookLumFist]

good fighters may even develop the 3 of 4 energies without realizing it.

boxing.... fencing.... actually have the 99% the same footwork yet different name.

boxing call their bo ma the progressive step, while fencing calls theirs reposte. Southern mantis call it the triangle half step.

[kaindrg]

@JookLumFist cool my theory is that after the fall of the ming and its political heads fleeing to taiwan the badit groups formed an intricate network of undergroud communities from souterh china, taiwan , and northern vietnam. this partially gave rise to the vast amounts of trade of south east and east asian(still reserching correlation between hong mun and east asian trade)

[kaindrg]

@JookLumFist the under ground trading financed the tiawanese ming pirates raids, but when the mings officially surrendered the under gound networks fell appart and regions returned mostly to government control with provinces isolated from each other. sounds like conspiracy talk but i wanna see now much of this was possible.

[MantisAtkin]

Very cool n hot stuff Alex a great display of energy n technique I could see with much practice u will have extraordinary power over time. Wow n wow n great Gung fu style Keep up the clips n practice

[Pakua4581]

Hey,I love your videos brother,great stuff

[JookLumFist]

Thanks pakua4581 :)

[Tyjobuou812]

Superb!!!! and demonstrated with Iron rings too excellent!

(I need to practice more)

Thanks Alex

[JookLumFist]

Thanks Ty. I recently saw some footage on your bamboo ring and enjoyed that as well. where can I purchase a smaller size such as the one you use? Your site wutong is down. I came across your pdf while I was reading about wing chun today. you are a martial scholar!

[JookLumFist]

That's because the techniques in Hakka systems are short and suttle. Let me post a Hung Ga (Hung Gia Quyen) form up there for you later. Once I post that, If it still bothers you then you can dub some cong phu drum in there aite! :)

[fatshit436]

wow the noise is really anoying

[chinatownmike]

Very good! You kept the power alive throughout the form.

[JookLumFist]

thanks chinatown mike. i like your staff video. you've got great coil control.

[tonglongkid]

Is this your 3rd set?

[JookLumFist]

it's a foundational form, but I wouldn't say there's a set order on it. Most of the focus is on 2 man sets and dui jong (drills). so "we" probably make better fighters than performers, but i like to challenge myself to be both :)

[dannyherm]

nice alex

[JookLumFist]

thanks for watching

[washingzoo1]

I esp like the rings and the sound of 'em; i used to use those & practise hunga teet-seen-kuen (iron wire fist); but now i can imitate u to use them in saam-bo-jin (3 step arrows) ! cool !

[JookLumFist]

thanks. i like the sounds too so i didn't dub music in this vid. Teet seen kuen in hung ga is ideal for rings and sounds awesome. have fun with som bo jin!

[washingzoo1]

Cool ! and Hot ! We all can appreciate and benefit from this 3 Step Arrow demonstration. Thankiu !  So much !

[yinghonghaohan319]

Nice!

[shengchenfan]

Cool!
