"Toad" Kung Fu

[Lancepkm]

well katas ar divided in demselfs whit multiple hidden tecnics wht may apear as just 3 moves in the form culd be a stand alone way to neutralise an enemy and in a form the idea is that one is fcing multiple enemies this form im not bery familiar whit but it does seem to have plenty of well based moves

[Elbottoo]

Must be killer work out on the triceps with all those divebombers.

[hellodarkness84]

Purely aesthetic in my opinion. I don't understand why people are taking this seriously on the comments, but I'm not going to beat my head against a wall trying to figure out people on Youtube. I would also say it would be a great work-out though and cool for a movie, but wouldn't consider it practical for a street fight.

[DirtDiggler08]

@hellodarkness84... You should find a shaolin master who understands traditional body mechanics and he will show you there fighting value. Kung fu guys aren't especially known for lying so, I promise it does.

[hellodarkness84]

@DirtDiggler08 I just don't see this particular demonstration really practical for an actual fight, but then again I am not so egotistical to say that I actually have the answers to what is the more practical style to use in a fight. Fights have so many variables and all so it is always tough to say. But indeed, I would love to find an actual shaolin master who could explain to me such things that are really beyond my comprehension at the moment. I just always took the Toad style as an aesthetic

SAGE MODE !!!!

[WushuPeace]

Toad Sage Kata NARUTO!!!!!!!!!11

:D

[method190]

watch kung-fu hustle thats real toad style

[holysocks]

@method190 no, kung-fu hustle took it from the wuxia novels of Jing Yong

[jeffoo68]

This is typical of modern China's revisionist history of kung fu. They have gone from trying to create wushu out of traditional and making kung fu sterile to garbage like this, where they are playing on the classic kung fu movies.

[yotipo91]

It looks kinda funny and cute, but at the same time, intense regardless if it's deemed ineffective.

[soundsofthetoaster]

that looks like a fun style ^^

froggy style XD

[CarNikolaj]

Froggy style?Oh well, you just made me understand the principle of the form! Now the stance on knees and elbows makes sense ;-)

But I suppose its practice is for women only?

[soundsofthetoaster]

ahahahah nice one

but everyone can practice it ^^

but women can do it so much better

aw man i am such a perv XD

[jedikurac666]

it is beyond my comprehension that someone even considers this for real martial art..

ive read all of comments for this video and it is clear that people who train and or practice some m.a. see that this is soooooo pointless style and nerds who watch way too many kung fu movies defend this as a "very dangerous style"

boxing,judo brasilian ju jutsu greco roman wrestling and muay thai do the job

also military styles like systema and krav maga.

[pbeasr]

the problem with most of those styles is that they teach techniques that wen repeatedly practiced over a long period of time hurt ure body. and many things in movies people call kung fu is actually wu shu. wu shu is way more impractical than kung fu and is more aerial based

[anhkhoinguyen]

..wushu is the proper term for martial arts in chinese...kung fu kan mean anything you worked hard for...its funny how american adopt words from other languages and mis-and-match there difinintion and meanings. Wushu=martial arts Sport wushu=performance gymnastic style. KUNG FU means hard work n effort ya'll know this already come on now!

[anhkhoinguyen]

yea i would never use frog style for fighting! lol that frog push up is for upper body stenghting as with most moves in forms are for exserise. but of course you already know this, as i doubt your really that ignorant...=} btw systema shouldnt be on there, its techniques n movements are as bullshitdo-ish as aikido lol krav maga is just kung fu without the forms..also gay. Muay Thai n Judo is for me

[jedikurac666]

my god.,,. this is even worse than that

"fru shu quan blablan" ..

that first stance says-this is how i get buttfucked..

[brasshandmartialarts]

And when you think you cans kick his ass...I would love for you to tape the fight...so I can laugh at you... = )

[jedikurac666]

you are blind.]

look at this. WHAT IS THIS?

its not even funny.

circus shit

[brasshandmartialarts]

And you are a styled martial artist of what?

[jedikurac666]

black belt in taekwondo (which i also find useless) muay thai kickboxing and savate assaut for 5 yrs. 2nd kyu aikikai aikido.

and you? black belt 10dan in nerd-fu?

[brasshandmartialarts]

4th dan uechi ryu, 4th dan TKD CDK, shodan aikido, nidan in ryukyu kobudo yamashita and matayoshi style.

[jedikurac666]

and what belt in bullshido?

and you think that this counts for a fighting style?

[uzhljeblj]

U SUCK!!!

you are a wimp!!!!!

I CAN STILL KICK YOUR ASS !!@!@!@!@#

FUCK BELTS AND SHIT

[anhkhoinguyen]

The modern savate gives three levels of competition: "assault", "precombat" and "combat". In assault, the competitors need to be concentrated on the technique during they are trying make contact; refrees punish with penatlties the usage of excessive force. Precombat permits fighting without thoughtlessness in the force always and when the fighters wear protection as helmets and shin protectors. haha...you do assualt?? thats like light contact point fighting....so hard core of you...lol

[worldworks]

frog style and locust/grasshopper are used for floor fighting possibly.

[ooyarnballoo]

can anyone tell me a school that teaches toad kung fu??

[IrishSpaniard]

Tien Shan Tzi in El Paso. but you have to be really flexible and a general badass.

[cineural]

poor knees =S

[YakuzaTrash]

Toad style is immensely strong, and immune to nearly any weapon When it's properly used, it's almost invincible

[IrishSpaniard]

FUCK YEA!!1

[opticannon]

i like eggs!

[banto20]

fucking retardXD

[HUNGLE84TX]

wtf ? is this really work in real fight ? kinda remind me of style using in Batman: dark night. using mainly head butt.

[NonComedian]

I'm self taught in it,so he's probably several times better than me at this,but I think of it more like an accesorie,not useful by itself,and laying down with most the people I spar with will just get you stomped or sat on(Sumo butt slams HURT!)but like alot of styles I think it's just what you use in a fight and use in practice.

[Monk4yy]

The punches and kicks could work, and work very well, but the laying down part probally won't, it's in there to empahise that this is a toad style form I believe.. I might be wrong though.

[IrishSpaniard]

Like in most old Chinese styles, the form is part for fighting and part for gaining strength and flexibility.

[ladieskid007]

is this toad or crane?

[cobead]

Looks like good clean fun.

[benitofinito]

its all good

[zaikapasaica]

That guy is cooly skilled but too weak.

[LightSkySunMoon]

china has too much performance martial arts. nobody knows anymore. even the so called old masters of china try to make their style more 'entertaining'

[1ToNJaB]

Nice! Like that toad guy in Kung-Fu hustle. I never thought it was a real style. :) Is the "Lions-Roar" real too?

[PhoenixWatcher]

The Lion's Roar, the Buddha Palm pretty much every style and/or technique is to a certain degree taken from reality.

[CHARTERWUSTYLE]

mmm I think this is a stretching form...

[Aparkour]

Seriously, nooen ever sticks to just one form in real combat, eh? I'm sure that landing like that and attacking can be a great way of surprising your opponent if they manage to bring you to the floor.

[tcanuck]

exc3pt that this an artform from china that is almost a thousand years older than sweden.. ya... f00ls.. pah.

[flurtenmaniac]

if you are so ignorant as o belive that shit then why dont you go out in the street and bitch slap the biggest nigger you can find...you'll be in a FIGHT, and all this jumpin around crap aint gunna do ANYTHING but get your silly self FUCKED UP

[Goldvellius]

La boxe da terra fukien nello stile del cane ha un addestramento suddiviso in 3 livelli e quello inferiore e' molto caratteristico appunto. E' molto famosa per le tecniche di gambe. mentre negli altri stili magari andare a terra e' l'ultima spiaggia invece in questo stile e' pane quotidiano. con le gambe effettuano leve e tecniche varia. stanno in guardia parano afferrano spingono. effettuano vari tipi di leve. nel libro delle edizioni mediterranee dice qualcosa sul livello inferiore.

saluti.

[Goldvellius]

this is the dog style of sud!

uau! Boxe shaolin fukien with the legs.... Boxe shaolin doggy style.

Diffusion: Fujian-Fuzhou

[yamsuka]

heavy metal is better then classical

[macksnack]

I'm hungry for frog legs

[Belikel]

A toad with stimulant drugs?! Anyway, very nice to see this rare form...

[talamakhos]

Sweep the leg, Johnny!

[adrianchen19888]

HAHAHAHA hahahaha i wana fight him lol!

[kimis82]

what the fuck are you doing man, this is a fucking joke.

[Tonuzaba]

I'm usually not cursing, but f*ck this sh*t: I have the anti-toad, I am a master of the stork-fu!

[gringokahn]

If they think this is an effective martial art, they must have some good shit to smoke or they've been licking a few toads themselves. I'd love to see this guy in the octagon or in a cage fight..lol...

[XtheMercenary]

Answer this...how come whenever there's a fighting style that doesn't appear useful, someone says "I'd like to see this in the octagon lololol?"

I mean, all this UFC crap isn't the best out there.

[gringokahn]

Because competition is the safest and most realistic way to find out if an art really works in practice and not in theory. I can jump around and pretend to be an toad all day long, but if I can't really apply any of these actions in a setting that's as close to actual combat as we can get, then it's no more than toad cardio in silk pajamas. Otherwise known as LARPing. Ever notice how when TMA people put on sparring gear, they end up looking like crappy kickboxers? Because that sh*t don't work!

[miketite]

I agree with both opinions. UFC aint the best, but it is the safest form of competitive combat. The only problem is that true shaolin kung fu does not encourage safe combat, attacking the eyes, throat, groin, spine, and other vital points would be considered illegal in the octagon.

P.S. this "toad form" is garbage, and is just another example of the commercial exploitation and perversion of the shaolin heritage.

[GGAllinIsGod]

i agree wih Mike about the UFC thing, i was wondering does toad style only come from Five Venoms or was it real and they exagerrated it? and what about Centipede? i've heard of snake and scorpion. but never heard of the shit they say about lizard climbing walls, is that just movie hype too?

[Khassaptu]

Toad style is a real kung fu form. I never seen five venoms so I can not say if it was exagerrated or not.

I never heard of centipede thou.

Lizard climbing walls is a ninjitsu climbing art.

[GGAllinIsGod]

i'm surprised someone who's into real kung fu's never seen what most people think of- being the shaw brothers movies, and in the mainstream world the jet li movies with wires and bullshit. i want you to see a scene where the toad and centipede fight let me know what you think. i'll send a message cause they won't let you send them in comments anymore

[kungfufreddy]

umm it works doesnt it ?

so if it works and the other stuff when comapered with it doesnt work then surely it is the vest out there

if not then what is ????

[kungfufreddy]

well actually it is

for the simple reason that t time and again pwns every other trad art out there

[traphiccc]

looks like some wushu expert has linked another set of movements and added a toad stance and called it a form.

[chasleeuk]

crouching like a frog, its obviously a sprawl training method for anti takedown...but whether they know it is another story...

[gringokahn]

RNC defense. It is a trick like he is "giving the back", but as soon as the RNC is attempted he flings into the air and lands on his opponent.

[shengchenfan]

thats different,i would like to see applications.

[johnny3443]

Applications; get your ass kicked, be laughed at.

[kungfufreddy]

what purpose does crouching like a frog serve ?

[CaptainRed]

well for one, you stay low, for two you stay rooted to the ground, and third you have a clear shot at the enemies ankles which, if applied properly, you could take down a person simply by pushing the pressure point in their ankle.

[kungfufreddy]

or they could kick you inm the face or pin you

which is what most normal ppl would do

not tomsntion if you attacked my ankles i would just move back a bit

[GGAllinIsGod]

i'm sure before you get a chance to just movie back, you're going to say, hey what the hell are you- bam there goes your ankle and you're the one on the floor. one of the points of attack something like someones ankle is they're not going to see that coming.

[kungfufreddy]

well u do actually tend to notice someone droppng to the floor and prancing about thos kicks are hard to put power int oanyway i would probably just stand there and he'd be on the floor and i wouldn't have even needed to do anything

hahahah rofl
