Hey Paulie many years ago, early 90's, I was teaching a class at Harbin Hot springs . You came in, took class, and afterwards offered to show me a few things. As you flew around the room in black silks like an apparition I was dutifully impressed, you were cool and I have told the story many times, best wishes in taking your place in the current pantheon
My apologies for saying this, but I am merely a practioner of self-defense I do not participate in the competitions. I do ,however, have an appreciation for those who have a level of skill such as his. The only three I can't are lying on your back, head through the legs, and rolling the way he did. I follow more in the footsteps of Lee Jun Fan, one of the most inspirational people to come out f my great state of Washington not far from where I live.
Hi Paulie, how have you been? I was just checking out some videos and thought I would see what you had up... Miss trianing and spending time with you.
awesome i'm tryin to use monkey staff techniques in my freestyle fire twirling.. its already started to change my whole style for the better like i'm goin into another level of stick work but still with an artistic flair.. well i'm back of to watch some journey to the west episodes.. lol
i think this is amongst the most inspirational performances of any art form that i have ever seen. i would dedicate my life to this, were i to have my time again.
Sublime. I am always looking to be genuinely impressed by a person's martial art skill but it very rarely happens. This is one time where the skill and the person are ONE.
I come from the generation of teenage martial artists that used to idolize kung fu masters such as yourself, Al Dacascos, Doc Fai Wong, Yang Jwing Ming, Adam Hsu, Buck SamKong and too many other greats to name. It is an honor to be able to witness your performances online.
Paulie Zink is very special.His dedication is an inspiration to us all.He inspires me to push harder for excellence in my art.(wing Chun)I have had his videos for many years but my knees cant take it now but I am going to do his yoga.The funny thing about monkey kung fu is you have to give %110 or it just looks half baked.There are only a handful that ive seen that gives it any justice.Master Zink certainally put in the time 6 to 8 hours a day.Thanks for the example to us all of true kung fu
Dont kung fu people have wooden sticks? I know it may not be the most important thing,but I have never noticed anyone else performe with a metal staff.
best i ever seem

You can see why they call it martial 'arts'. They really are artists these guys.

Yes, wooden staffs are the common type used in practice. The silver staff was Paulie's trademark.

You're "the top cock"!!!! It is a traditional style? Where I live only teach WuShu, but I don't like it so much as traditional.
Anyway. The form is awesome ^.^

For me, I prefer traditional arts like this than wushu but its also much more fun to watch.

Flawless as always... a form that was breath taking in the 80's and would hold up in any championship today!
