Kung Fu - Eagle Claw

[Summerjam333]

Some of the moves are the same as the Chang Quan system we practice in my academy, so i guess the style demonstrated here is the Northern style of Eagle Claw.

[FistoftheIronDragon]

Sensei is from karate. Sifu is from kung fu. 

[Kiro888]

uh..this is the modern wushu stuff...created after the cultural revolution AFTER all the real eagle claw people either fled the country or were killed by communists. Regardless of the sifu today ...or country outside of china..there is no flapping around ...running and leaping in that manner...this is modern wushu. Eagle claw is about grabbing and taking down...not flapping

[TheMorrisification]

@Kiro888 this fascinates me thank you for the comment ive been researching eagle claw for some time and often i find this dancing style and was wondering what the hell it was :P

[Kiro888]

@TheMorrisification u r welcome. Unfortunate many think wushu version is the real thing. There are some in HongKong, Taiwan, USA, and Australia. still doing the original Ying Jow with slight variations for each lineage & thats natural like languages, & some that still have some real forms in mainland PRC. But the great majority of the videos and movies show a dancelike acrobatic wushu displaying wings not locks+grabs with FULL hand...not 3 fingers (but it sells movies, sigh)

[adventuresofawhiteas]

@The737NGdude in Chinese 师父 (Shi Fu) is the same as sensei. It is pronounced like sure foo.

[The737NGdude]

sensei = sifo in chinese, right?

[asthenia166]

@The737NGdude Yeah same as sifu

[MrHarrismarcel]

the chinese breath longer than most foreigners can karate.i practice hung gar tiger/crane

[lympheneas]

@KianAlexina ooh pride was hurt now wasn't it? P-r-i-d-e was HURT now WASN'T IT? hahaha ''american made website'' whooooh what an ACCOMPLISHMENT!

[FireRupee]

@lympheneas Son, no internet until the 6th grade.

[lympheneas]

@FireRupee Son, P-R-I-D-E

[jebus419]

im not sure what this event is but.... shouldnt it be judged by a kung fu master or something... .all i see is a bunch of out of shape white people judging it..... im just sayin if your judging it shouldnt you be able to do it? lol

[xFierceDeityLinkx]

Hmm, The kung fu styles in general have alot of Chain punchs in them. My dad is doing wing chung, and he has noticed the same. I choose to stick with my other style, but it is very intresting to see.

[lympheneas]

@Jason66601 on the streets this guy is not going to fight. he will even say ''sorry'' and leave. but if he does fight, well hehe I cannot express how easy it will be for him. very, truly, really, deeply, EASY. if there are more than 5, perhaps he will sweat.

Does that answer your american question?

[GypsyDemon77]

Best Eagle Claw i have seen but some poses seem like the Snake!

[BrunoLealMarques]

esse kati pra quem não conheçe perfeitamente como é executado , esta um pouco errado , porque em alguns momentos , ele deveria cair da posição de repouso , ou na posição de planar , que é quando ele drobra os joelhos um sobre o outro , ergue os braços como se foçe uma aguia realmente , mais fora isso está perfeito !!

[88Jako]

whats the name of that kick??.... 0:34 ...

[LazyRoss]

The strength and stamina required to perform this routine is remarkable!

[Gold7711]

LOL INTERNET BEEF LOL

[kokoyakyu]

@ 786myfists, danegilbert

. . . ? !

[786myfist]

You cant prove anything, see below what you said if dont believe me, now youre just getting sour and angry cause I made you look stupid and exposed your wannabe ass you always want to have the last word in and have always been a wimp you only wish you were a skilled ma like me and now youre all angry and shit LOL.

[leftybelvedere]

This and Tai Chi are the ballet equivalent of martial technique. It's a learned routine and that's fine.

Karate & Tai Quan Do are the douchbag toughguy equivalent of martial technique. That's fine, too. Both are epic fails in strict martial sense. Neither are effective towards an opponent who understands refined Kung Fu martial practices.

[danegilbert]

Karate and Tai Quan Do are basic techniques, i doubt they're supposed to be refined to such a high point.

and this was never meant to be effective in an actual situation. it's more just of a display, really. I.E.: art.

[786myfist]

@danegilbert you are another one who knows jack shit about the arts

[danegilbert]

@786myfist

yeah, go fuck yourself.

[786myfist]

@danegilbert sorry I hit a sore nerve bud.

[danegilbert]

it's ok.

some people just think they know everything. even though theyre retarded.

but it's cool, dude.

[786myfist]

@danegilbert well at least youre aware of your situation, you know being retarded and all, why you pretend to sound actual when you talk about ma is beyond me, I'm a real ma not like the posers, but like you said, yeah..its cool.

[danegilbert]

wow, im retarded?

lol. why dont you read back the comment you just posted and get to kissing my ass for me, k?

[786myfist]

@danegilbert what dont you understand? ma means martial arts 2. youre a wannabe3, when I said actual I typo and meant factual why so confused?

[danegilbert]

you should really get off the internet.

i think we invented windows specifically so people like you would remember that outside exists.

[786myfist]

@danegilbert this is about EC fool, stop straying off topic, you get off, go where you actually know something.

[danegilbert]

no, it's the fact that you think you know everything when youre actually a nerd on youtube trying to talk shit because in real life youre too fat, ugly, nerdy, or retarded to compensate for any good qualities you have, and cant criticize anyone else because youre such an easy target to pick out.

i suggest you take your faggotry off the internet, seeing as no one likes you and you have no life.

take a gun and pull the trigger.

respond to this and youre proving my point.

[786myfist]

@danegilbert wow youre really a scummy kid arent you?

[danegilbert]

you prove my point.

[786myfist]

@danegilbert dude if thats the only "point" that you can make by me not making another comment then you suck bud youre truely a sore loser.

[danegilbert]

seriously, get the fuck off the internet...

[786myfist]

@danegilbert do some research and learn about martial arts before you post untrue comments because you dont know what youre talking about.

[danegilbert]

stop trying. get the fuck off.

[786myfist]

@danegilbert trying what!? better yet what are you trying to prove anyway?

[786myfist]

@danegilbert you have zero knowledge my son, thats what embarasses you isnt it? Well if you have any questions feel free to ask.

[danegilbert]

dude, get the fuck off.

youre an annoying, pompous, idiot of a child wasting his time on Youtube proving he's right and that everyone else is just shit compared to yourself.

get off the internet, get a girlfriend, go to school, and stop being such a stupid, stupid faggot.

[786myfist]

@danegilbert dont be a broken record son, youre too young to be telling me what to do, how about you getting off of a page about Eagle Claw, it confuses you.

[786myfist]

@leftybelvedere your spelling is wrong and your facts are incorrect, I dont think you know what youre talking about. You sound like a keyboard warrior who believs he knows whats good and what isn't, dissing karate! Who the fuck do you think you are?

[leftybelvedere]

Please tell us which 'facts' I've gotten wrong... I invite you to attack me with your little fingers in a mockery of a "claw" and your head exposed. The idea of practical martial art vs. ballet routine: Do only what is effective and not what is merely stylized.

I understand that many sifu will tell you that there are -secret- methods behind the cute little "animal" styles but they are mistaken.

You really believe this guy is learning to defend himself with his little moves? Really? ...

[786myfist]

@leftybelvedere listen.. there is no "secret" techniques with the right instructer and hard study, I am not a student of Ying jow pai (eagle claw kung Fu) I am a student of Isshin Ryu (karate) and to say either is ineffective..sounds like inexperience to me, in basics the strict form is important that includes "claw" in eagle claw but real combat is something else, strict form and control equals better technique, better technique means more effective attact and defense and theres so much more

[786myfist]

@leftybelvedere youre stupid bud.

[bakhok]

This is defenitely no Eagle Claw Kung Fu.You can say what you want.

[drchango2010]

yup, it's wushu Eagle Claw. It's a pity that so many people associate Chinese martial arts with contemporary wushu=/

Not saying wushu competitors aren't remarkable athletes (and it looks better than sport karate), but it's just not the same and the traditional Chinese martial disciplines=/

[transmutationcirc]

holy shit, every1 in this video is white...

[liLDustyy]

his showing his body control in this demonstration.

as u see it's flows.

try doing the moves. you'll see how hard it is to beable to do it slow

[EpicureMammon]

I'm sure these guys know more about fighting than I do (well, duh)... but these seem more like dance routines.

[lympheneas]

@EpicureMammon ...... go to the mcdonalds and eat your burger, drink your coffee and stop thinking or asking yourself or anyone else questions.

[sourskitts45]

@EpicureMammon It's called a form. js :P

[Hugh594McIntosh]

yeah , no power

pretty slow and telgraphed

[ec8836]

The wushu shit!

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

The only thing missing is power.

[SpazFuMaster]

not bad. Pretty good actually. Of course all of this comes from the 13 techniques of Spaz Fu.

[ChainsmokingPothead]

eh I like the 3 finger eagle claw best.

[scarryharry011]

it is the southern styles that use 3 fingers and the knuckle of the ring finger. it takes about ten years of daily training to develop bonecrushing strength with bai mei style eagle claws vs. 4 years to crush bones with tiger claws (all five digits spread) both are very effective weapons that are not easily countered

[ChainsmokingPothead]

cool. thanks for that info. had no idea u could actually train yr fingers to become that strong. but hey.. there's alot I dont know so :D. tiger claw is super cool as well. but eagle claw :D when u see that oh man I just get hooked :D looks too cool :D

oh and, bai mei = white brows? or am I way off?

ty.

[lympheneas]

@ChainsmokingPothead that's crane style

[mayoralfin]

wushu eagle claw

[Livelife417]

Student > Laochi > Sifu > si goon

[Vanpur]

Thank you, that was impressive, not the normal watered down version that is seen in competitions nowadays. I wish more teachers would look at this and then at what they teach! Some may realise they are not good teachers.....

[wushugod187]

[domyaska]

[ngokfeiyuefei]

Eagle Claw Kung Fu Society Forum

[shadowsgate0]

[213139]

[nagexingqisi]

[Albinnaab]

[project855]

its sea-foo

[Paneatix]

[annasa1900]

This guy is great! Thanks for the clip!

[Steppen03]

Thank you for the clips! I love wushu!

[Bangled]

it's cool to me he is quite agile and swift and the flying kicks are great.

[thaJC]

that was pretty cool, the dude is fast.

[Skittles7062]

sucks

[Aznaltron]

shut up, martial arts is diffcult first take some classes for 3 years first then say shit

[Skittles7062]

look i practice kung fu for 5 years my sensei is a monk from china

soh i can say this things, but people like you can't

[Aznaltron]

Well i do pratice kung fu for 2 years, even though you CAN say it don't it proves that your too arrogant and you need to learn your place as a Martial Artist you got to point out whats wrong and how should he improve

[Skittles7062]

i am cool with my arrogence so shut up and ltes stop with that arguing without any sense

[Beefybiscuit81]

Look, I studied Kung fu at the top of Mt Weng Shiu for 45 years. I was trained by the four armed monk of Li Shiau. I was hanging out with him the other day watcing some YouTube and he said this guy was pretty decent. I think he can say shit although he never does cos he's Chinese and he only speaks when he passes on some priceless advice - usually with all the words in the wrong order.

What is this pathetis pissing match, anyway?

[rarrbear]

roflmao. no one can top that. i trained with a 4 armed guy named goro. it took me awhile to learn his fatalities?

[ec8836]

I know a master whose name is 'Keroro'!

[atxpersonalfitness]

If you practiced Kung Fu so long then you would know that sensei is Japanese, not Chinese.

[WiseSurf]

@atxpersonalfitness The Japanese culture is from China...

[attackoftherandom]

@WiseSurf not exactly...

[Summerjam333]

@atxpersonalfitness Or you can just watch naruto :p

[b10hzard]

hahaha im so sure your "sensei" is a monk hahahaha

[sevenstarfist777]

pretty good for an american, 5 stars! :)

[bakhok]

No original Eagle Claw.

[Zokujin]

This is Nationals at San Diego...I was competing here. Eddy Q is a good friend of mine. Trained with him quite a bit. I always tell him my favorite of his is the Eagle.
