Sorry dude but it really bugs me when people do forms without having a clue about the apps. Unfortunately it's painfully obvious to the knowledgeable that you're mimicking movements. Maybe even from someone that didn't understand the moves either.
Pablo, would be nice to see what you learned as Little Mantis. Could you post it?
@SifuDScott Well, since the people I originally trained with only practiced forms and didn't teach me any applications, that makes since (which is why I switched to Hung Gar and Wing Chun.) I don't practice any of the old Wah Lum sets I picked up, since they were bastardized versions, and the people I trained with studied under a guy who learned from a disavowed student of Chan Pui who taught contemporary wushu for a living. All this crap I found out after two years of learning forms.
@MrYaoiMonster i recomend this set without the first three kicks so it can be done as a repetitive loop this is also the reason i recomend the lohan 18 kick forms ill send u a friend add and link with an explanation of the thot
@agluv4eva after looking over your channel I was shocked by the stupendous irony of your comment. Oh, and by the way...I know you are but what am I? =P
most kicking in the head in a rela fight shouldnt be done unless you know its going to hit. other wise its a smaller target and easy to avoid. just saw something above talking about it and i was to lazy to read it :) nice drill though looks really good.
Have to try! But i would take those shoes off your supporting leg turns, but it´s not like very smooth movement. I don´t know for sure but at least try it :D And stretch little more. Thank you.
@leopoldvs I get the idea that you are making a negative comment, but I think there is a context lacking.
Before you get going, I will point one thing out: this is a training exercise. the big swinging high kicks are calisthenic in nature and are intended to improve flexibility, balance, range of motion for the hip joint, and generally make your lower kicks faster. In application, most kicks in traditional Chinese martial arts are intended to hit the knees, groin, shin, or stomach.
@drchango2010 just because no one in mma can kick for shit doesnt mean that a kick to the head delivered by some one who knows what they are doing isnt a fight ending technique. those ax kicks can be deadly
@chinahandway true, head kicks can be effective, but most folks don't have the flexibility to employ them when kicking "cold" as it were. Also, for those of us training traditional martial arts today there is a serious though rather mundane hurdle to overcome: clothing. Even if you buy "baggy" jeans at the store right now, you're still going to get jeans too tight to easily throw head kicks in. I blame emo kids for this sorry state of affairs =/
@drchango2010 Lol rock cargo's like me. I got a Mean back kick that will always hit target, i dont have to look anymore and i got powerful shin kicks to match. Im going to be an MMA champion one day so Hit me up lol. Seriously though, most people in MMA cannot kick if their life depended on it and usually in the cage, it does!
@dss103, why do you think MMA guys can't kick? Do you think it is because they're to lazy to master them because kicking expertise takes years?
I've still got a long way to go with kicking, but I had to be patient for like 10 months just to get to a good flexibility for kicking; it might not of helped though they I weight train my legs. Dynamic stretching really boosted my progress
@drchango2010 good point. pants must not be too tight i have witnessed this first hand. my friend who is a 3rd degree black in karate could not kick because of his jeans so he had to resort to fists
@chinahandway Cro Cop (despite his last couple of fights, wtf happened to him?) and Cung Le are two MMA UFC fighters with killer headkicks..to say that NOBODY in mma can kick is unfair :P
@leopoldvs in MMA noone can kick poperly, thats why their fights take so long some times and fall at the ground, mos of the fighters in MMA cant box properly or kick properly, but i think the rules out there point out that kind of fightin
@albcorason if u notice a shaolin fighter kicking, fast as lightning, they can also grab the legs as part of shaolin is xanda training.thats why most MMA cage fighters lack the skills for this because they dont train directly in this art unless they come from that style.like george st.pierre is a great kicker because of his kyokushin background, but too many fighters lack they knowledge for this awesome skill.
@leopoldvs Is it supposed to? Thats great you train MMA but that doesnt mean you can go busting other styles balls. Remember what Anderson Silva did to Vitor Belfort lol.
@leopoldvs LOL it's silva dumbass! and yeah that Sanda/ Sanshou style scizzor kick takedown was sweet huh? I saw that vid back when no one even knew who SILVA (lol da silva) was. Wanna know something else crazy? Minus the muay thai style roundkick, sanshou is derived from Kung Fu and a style known as Shuai Jiao. You should look up Cung Le if you wanna learn more on this great transitional style that is effective in MMA. By the way, Silva was dominating that fight till the random heel hook!
noticed you had Olympic TKD sparring in your favorites...I've seen plenty of TKD drills similar to this, and point sparring with stupid rules like "no punching people in the face" is actually rubbish.
And where do you get off calling me a fag? You're 35 and roll that one out instead of telling me why this is "rubbish"? Grow up, and then maybe post some of your "real" martial arts and show us all how it's done.
When I dabbled in wushu I would wear shoes with metal eyelets for the laces that would leave little circular purple bruises on my hands, like I got in a fight with a tiny squid or something lol
@FedorCroCop44 Haven't competed contact in a while, but the way I train now focuses more on technique and application than what my forms look like (though, admittedly, that wasn't always the case.) I do also tend to field test my techniques, since I had to pick up a second job as a bouncer=)
supposedly traditional Chinese martial arts, a basic subset to work on balance and fundamental northern kicks, though the system it's from has a rep for focusing too much on forms competition and too little on practicality.
picked it up in southern Arizona, but the first person I got it from picked it up in South Dakota (had another friend pick up a slightly different version in Boston)
My friend Cody still had keys to the fitness center at his old apartment complex and they had a couple of racquetball courts...so we'd do some guerilla kung fu training on Sunday mornings when the place was dead.
Hello,just wanted to say I found this set really interesting and useful..
I've known little bits of kung fu and other martial arts through out my life,my father did quite a few styles,and tought my brothers alot..but well,lets just say I..don't see him..
So I was wondering if you could offer any advice on on finding a real source to learn from?
if you have the wherewithal to get to Chicago twice a month, there are a ton of good teachers there (I've driven up to Phoenix to train before, which is about two hours).
Which town? There still might be someone close enough for you to train several times a week (there are some forums I can check)
I live in Decatur,Illinois. I've looked around online(Not too indepthly though) and couldn't find anything inside my home,but you'd probably have better luck,
As for getting to Chicago twice a month..I don't at the moment,but I should soon,as in the next month or two.
lol, the more I learn about applications and combat theory, more a fan I have become of kicking people in the shins. If you're wearing sneakers and they're wearing shorts, you can totally ruin someone's afternoon
he did the easy kicks to the low section... i wanna see him doing the bituro chagi on the high section... and 8 kicks like that its easy... i can do pretty better than that
easy kicks to the low section? Those are kicks are supposed to be to the instep, shins, and knees. I'm pretty sure I did them right, and yeah, I know counterbalancing my movements with my arms is cheating, but if you can do better, post it and show me how it's done. And what is bituro chagi? Is that Japanese? Explain!
biturochagi its the korean name for your second kick, we do it in Taekwondo and doing it to the shin its easy, try to do it to the chest or to the head and well see if its easy like that or no...
Ah, I see. Yeah, I can throw that kick at the chest or the head, even without warming up (I can do the splits cold). The only problem might be if the pants I am wearing at the time aren't particularly loose, lol
getting ready to upload it from my roommate's computer (home on lunch break at the moment) and I'll set it as a response to this clip.
This drill was brought into the mantis kung fu I train in to expand the kicking (mantis usually has only a few low kicks). The style it originated with translates to Spring Leg Method.
My primary arts I train in are mantis kung fu and Hung Gar (which isn't known for high kicks either) but I've also been learning some northern shaolin recently too
so just try on taekwondo, its much different from the japanese and chinese martial arts, its a korean one and it was donne for war, but today it has 2 sides, the competition one (olympics and everything) and the martial arts one, i train bouth a litle bit but i think that you will like more the martial than the competition one...
I have a friend who teaches Tang Soo Do and a couple of other Korean martial arts (he studied in Korea for ten years), I might start taking classes with him now that I'm out of school. The problem is going to be not calling him James in class, lol
pretty much covers all the basic kicks of the "external" schools of Chinese martial arts.. Missing would be the "dragon kick" and the "tiger's tail kick", along with the jumping kicks and special kicks particular to individual styles (Piercing Foot, Seeking Legs, etc).
Turns out, these are the wah lum (tam tui northern praying mantis - the whole name) kicks. I think the set of them came about from Tam Tui origins. It would make the most sense at least.
noticed I use my arms to counterbalance my legs too much. Started doing wushu-style stretch kicks again in an attempt to correct that. Gonna record this set again and see if it works=)
ay man thats great :-) i know how much discipline and self sacrifice that requires, so i salute you for that :-) but it is also depicted deep in your skill. chinese saying that goes" does not count how many years, but how devoted the practitioner has trained over those years"
so its clearly to see that you have trained with devotion :-) do you mind if i add you as a friend? not everyday i get to meet people that share the same desire for chinese kung fu as myself :-)
sort of, the man who taught our sigung broke off from Wah Lum in the 1980s, so I can't really say if this is exactly the way they do that drill in Wah Lum or if there have been some changes since the schism.
Ohh, very interesting. Our wongchungtui (third kick) involves more of a pivot, and our seventh kick is a tiger-tail instead of a side kick. Gotta' love school differences. Very nice.
Good kicking, good overall control and flexibility. Well done!

great kicks man, awesome balance, the only thing i would recomend is to chamber more on the side kicks :]

noticed I use my arms to counterbalance my legs too much. Started doing wushu-style stretch kicks again in an attempt to correct that. Gonna record this set again and see if it works=)

great performance of technique, balance and form.

thanks man
I really think it's a good short set to practice, it has helped my balance immensely. I'm not so accident prone anymore=)

yeah i can truly see that, keep it up :-) by the way watched some of your other clips, nicely done. how long have you been practicing kung fu? :-)

since late 2000, I did other martial arts off and on when I was younger, but the Chinese martial arts have had me hooked for going on nine years.
It's kinda weird in that every time I think I've got something perfected, I find a whole new dimension or aspect to it to work on=)
drchango2010 3 years ago
ay man thats great :-) i know how much discipline and self sacrifice that requires, so i salute you for that :-) but it is also depicted deep in your skill. chinese saying that goes" does not count how many years, but how devoted the practitioner has trained over those years"
so its clearly to see that you have trained with devotion :-) do you mind if i add you as a friend? not everyday i get to meet people that share the same desire for chinese kung fu as myself :-)

uh, she-males are chicks with dude equipment, I wear boxer briefs to keep my gear out of harms way, and who the fuck calls a man's package a 'duck'?
Or, to be more direct: grow up

Doesn't that hurt your hands?

consider it 'incidental iron palm training' lol
sometimes it stings if you hit the edge of the shoe on your thumb joint...you can get nice little purple-black bruises that way=)

That was really good man. I am looking forward to do the same thing after some practice.

it's good practice, especially if you do it on mats or grass, makes it even more of a challenge

same kicks from wah lum exactly the same
rafikiki77 3 years ago
is this wah lum style?
Bluedragon138 3 years ago
sort of, the man who taught our sigung broke off from Wah Lum in the 1980s, so I can't really say if this is exactly the way they do that drill in Wah Lum or if there have been some changes since the schism.

thnx=)

Ohh, very interesting. Our wongchungtui (third kick) involves more of a pivot, and our seventh kick is a tiger-tail instead of a side kick. Gotta' love school differences. Very nice.

the tiger-tail may be the Hung Gar creeping into my mantis boxing=)
