dosnt look it to me is it northern or southern they are very different one doesnt use enought of the 3" wrists/forearm movements which is mantis's greatest weapon believe me my dad was a master in hong kong and the best practicioner in europe no doubt
@iceinaglass123 that'st he who point of why it's called the mantis fist and the snake fist. you came watching this video not knowing why this martial art is called the way it it?
People please comment if you really are into it or at least understand what are they doing... if u want to see blood in a fight... go to the underground street fights if u dare... True martial art exponent dun show off their skills... and they spar so that they know where are their weakness and continue to improve themselves... True warriors dun hurt people... they protect... Those fighters who hurt people are just thugs no matter what style they use
If you can't tell the difference between a style demonstration and sparring, you're missing the point of martial arts. And if you think that the only point is to see who could beat up who faster, you're missing the point of Kung Fu. Violence is always the LAST resort. But even if this is a practiced routine their reactions are real yet contained. Don't think they couldn't kick your ass in real life.
kung fu does not seem very effective, i believe it spents a lot of valuable energy with so many needless movements, obviously this is a choreography but they really look like clowns to me, the value of this martial art are the deadly attacks which of course will not see in the sports.
It's judged kinda like a dance, how smooth and fluid the movements and transitions are, is there good synchronization, hows the flow and form. It's like martial arts dance.
at about 0:35 i realized this was choreographed. Me and my friends could do this in our capoeira classes and we're not even that experienced in the art....
That's uneffective and i can beat those 2 guys with my fists, and if not they don't stand a chance against my gun!!! :) just kidding, i kinda missed these comments here so i post it.
It's funny how most people think they perceive things as fast as a kung fu practitioner. Train your eyes, train your reflexes and you'll quickly find out that movement can slow down drastically. What seemed like a quick punch a while ago could seem like a slow sloppy jab now. practitioner's reflexes greatly surpasses your ability to perceive split second motion so what can seem like a choreographed fight might very well be real sparring. I'm not saying this is the case here though.
Its true you get faster reflexes but truth to be told no martial art look like that and its never artistic. It always look like two big apes swinging at each other in a bar fight with no skill, no blocks, no fancy techniques, just dishing it out on each other. Biggest monkey win...
and btw, i cant believe i thought this kind of stuff was cool a couple of years ago.
There is no way this fight wasn't planned. Look at them, they both know exactly where the other person is going to strike and when, and there is no power behind any of their attacks. I think they were just demonstrating the different styles, because that was not a real fight.
you know most martial arts state tat one scould never want to fight it is only a means of defending himself. so most technics (dont know how to spell that word) are countering an attack by the opponent. so waiting is quite usefull, also nonstop attack is bad for the muscles and wears the guy down rest is essencial.
@Ceosan there are usually 4 different types of competitive fighting
1no gloves fast light hiting
2 fast as soon as u make contact you pull away
3point sparring
4full contact like UFC
also look at akido demos they do all the moves but dont do them full force(safety) but the flip by them selves because that is what would happen if they did do them full force
yea 123 are all seriously flawed because they all involve pre subscribed elements. 3 is specially deceiving because practitioners never learn to deal with common, flawed or brutal attacks. only the attacks that they would use themselves. 4 is NOT full contact at all. no neck punches, eye gouges, groin kicks, or any sort of weapon. to tell the truth i dislike martial arts because they hardly ever get dirty with their fighting. then again not about self defense or sport tho, more about not dying.
@Ceosan true ufc is not true full contact but its just so it can be legal and not have perminit damage (besides brain damage) or law suits it used to be no gloves no weight classes and alot more moves with hits to the neck and other places u also have to remember ufc is a buisness groin kicks and stuff would end a fight to quickly the rest r just for fun there sports like football and baseball and try to be safe
@2016paul ...You do realize that "UFC" is the name of a company right and not a style....and there has NEVER been a fighter who suffered brain damage in the UFC.. boxing is where the brain damage occurs.. MMA fighters do not take nearly as much damage to the head, and the damage they receive is not constant as it is in boxing.MMA fighters do not end up like Mohammed Ali, because of kicks and submissions/grappling. IT IS TRUE FULL CONTACT, BUT NOT NO HOLDS BARRED.. big difference.
you got to give it to them though.... i mean the internet kung fu experts.... that was pretty lame... i mean... it looked boring. like the cheesiest performance i've ever witnessed.
for those that dont know this is not a real fight its a demo, if these guys were trying to hurt each other it wouldnt look like this, you know, it probaly would of been alot less rolling around and alot more bloody its kool though
I'm well aware that its two man form, and because it is a two man form...for first place you'd think that they're be a bit cleaner in their movements since its been rehearsed.and you'd expect at least their kicks would be straight. In regards to me trying it, wushu two man forms give me enough experience to tell a good form from a bad form
do you guys actualy know how martial arts is , most movies they fight this way , the cam angels is what makes it look crazie fast. this is normal speed
not just filming random fights, thats diffrent, its choreographed, and its actualy very good. in a film they would just film from diffrent angels and add in sound effects , and it would apear way better than that, check out me attempting some flim fighting on my channel, theres a few diff vids, check them all out
there good after all it is a demonstration and they have great form and technique but at full speed i dont think that itll be even legal to put it on youtube because there would someone with and eye missing and someone else dead because one of them got pissed
wow i bet most ppl here commenting on this wish they could fight that well and whats worse is no 1 stops to think what it would be like if they tried and went full speed.
ma perchè le persone continuano a perdere ancora tempo in queste cose magari pensando realmente di essere artisti marziali. datevi al fitness . non durereste 10 minuti in una lezione di kkyokushin. premetto che non pratico kyokushin e non condivido sosai oyama.
either way in a fight now a adays they would both end up dead cuz u dont know what people know so people brings guns and knives and other objects with them to fights =D
That is why they're pussy? They should have some pride and honor to not do those things. Wait wtf am i talking about they're thugs. They'd bring all of their cronies along.
i know it is loser, but there still slow, ive seen others like this and this is the slowest by far, and ps shaolin kung fu is the only one worth knowing.
The only way I see a mantis/snake in any of them is when they stand looking at each other, with their fists bent in certain ways. During the actual fighting, it's just plain, really.
Only in this performance, in a real life fight, the Snake Style as well as the Mantis are more concentrated on punches and jabs rather than kicks. SoooOoOoOooOOooO yeah
more or less i may be getting confused but wah lum when done for many years progresses toward these movents (and from the breathing exersize at the begining is what people who do wah lum do). mixture of wah lum and tong long. still im not exactly sure. i still think its wah lum though if not a mixture.
sorry but doesn't that sound a LITLLE bit dumb, no offence but the art was made in the northern parts of china hense the name "nothern praying mantis or wah lum" and don't you think they would more schools than just the US? sorry again for calling you dumb i don't know you so i can't judge. but it is good to here that another person is taking it lol.
it's praying mantis and snake fist. mantis is the most powerful kung fu and very fast. but when I look at this it's like "stop touching eachother and fight". mantis is stronget but best? I dunno.
Snake wasnt for movies. It be famous on movies, but rly they have a history on martial arts. Exist many variation on Northern, and South China. And many people think that wing chu comes from snake style.
Snake is traditional in many Kung Fu styles. It has it's traditional Chinese roots just like Praying Mantis, Tiger, Crane styles, etc. Jackie Chan is very good at snake and drunken, but that does not mean that it was invented for the movies. He may have personalized certain aspects of the style, but the real credit goes to the traditional Chinese who spent time observing the animals and taking their natural movements and applying them to us.
According to Jackie Chan, in an interview he gave in Chinese, in the film they just used the forms as a base for the action (for all he styles in Snake&Crane and Drunken Master) and the rest was pretty much made up and, in his own words, was "not even kung fu, it was Jackie, it was comedy" (That's only a rough translation!)
Southern Mantis is actually very different. It's much more upright and stable on the ground with little crouching and fewer high kicks etc. In the vid the guy is doing northern style.
i guess if it was a real fight both of there egos would get in the way and theyd prob hurt each other but cmon i rather see that then this bullshit if yall really like this then all of u can go eat dick haha
Nice flow!

it's praying mantis and snake fist. mantis is the most powerful kung fu and very fast. but when I look at this it's like "stop touching eachother and fight". mantis is stronget but best? I dunno.

There just doesn't seem to be any power behind the movements, doesn't compare with Wushu competitions at all.

Snake is traditional in many Kung Fu styles. It has it's traditional Chinese roots just like Praying Mantis, Tiger, Crane styles, etc. Jackie Chan is very good at snake and drunken, but that does not mean that it was invented for the movies. He may have personalized certain aspects of the style, but the real credit goes to the traditional Chinese who spent time observing the animals and taking their natural movements and applying them to us.

According to Jackie Chan, in an interview he gave in Chinese, in the film they just used the forms as a base for the action (for all he styles in Snake&Crane and Drunken Master) and the rest was pretty much made up and, in his own words, was "not even kung fu, it was Jackie, it was comedy" (That's only a rough translation!)

Southern Mantis is actually very different. It's much more upright and stable on the ground with little crouching and fewer high kicks etc. In the vid the guy is doing northern style.

Even I realized that because a good strike from She Quan (snake fist) you'd be bleeding or paralyzed.

People have "real" fights without killing each other all the time. The main issue isn't fear of harming their opponent.
