Tibetan White Crane Grandmaster Luk Chi Fu - Needle In Cotton (Pak Hok Pai- Min Loy Jeun)

This is an old film of Luk Chi Fu doing the Min Loy Jeun. Since it is film and time is an issue, he is playing this form rather fast because this is a slow internal set. Nontheless, The Late Grandmaster Chan Tai San told me when I showed him this film, that it is probably a good idea to play this set fast in practice to learn more about the practial aspects of this form.

The Min Loy Jeun or needle in cotton form is a metaphor for the idea of hard and soft (Gong, Yau) that is represented in Gung Fu. But it also is a version of plucking a rose and you get hurt by the thorn. Meaning the you can see the cotton but you can't see the needle inside. Luk Chi Fu 陸智夫, was a famous disciple of grandmaster Ng Siu Chung, and gung fu brother of Chan Hak Fu, Kwong Boon Fu and others. He opened his martial art school during his teen years in Guangzhou, later transferred to Hong Kong, he passed away a few years ago in Hong Kong.

Notice the constant "rocking" back and forth, shifting weight from left to right and back again. I wonder what the significance of this is.

This is not Taiji. The principle are very different and require more information than I can give here. The back and forth is necessary for the principles of this practice.

@Bedstysifu This is Tibetan indeed. My sifu is Steve Ventura whose Grandmaster was Chan Tai San.

@memyself2k

you mean whose Sifu was Chan Tai San. Ventura is my Gung Fu brother under Chan Tai San. Chan Tai San is your Grandmaster.

Lo que pasa es que en los sistemas tibetanos antiguos o hermeticos una sola forma se puede hacer a diferentes velocidades dependiendo para que uso se le quiera dar y al enseñarla tambien se distingue si se enseña a un principiante, ellos lo hacen a cierta velocidad, en los avanzados hasta pueden cambiar ciertos movimientos ya que se trabaja ejercicios tantricos, si yo hiciera una forma de estas caracteristicas para que saliera en youtube, la hiciera a la manera principiante

@ShadowRatbiker cuando has desarrolado la fuerza interna como facultad de estudio universitario veras que estas en lo cierto hay niveles ejemplo el de la velocidad con fi es uno el de la fibra 5 estilos con fuerza interna es otro es muy amplio es uno de los estudios mas superiores del pak hok pai y su desarrollo implica cosas inimaginables es el poder de la mente en todas sus manifestaciones kung fu ahi en el video se plasma un nivel de realizacion imaginate adato y su poder interno lama pai

@ShadowRatbiker

es sólo para la demostración. La película es corto, así que los movimientos deben ser rápidos. En realidad, la forma se hace lentamente.

Thanks for posting this Treasure! Luk Chi Fu looked amazing! I never tire of watching this clip. Thank You. The music accents it perfectly

[THAMOSK]

ea otra etapa de la fuerza interna como estudio solo los allegados o an llegado lo entienden no se ve es otra cosa hay que llegar es tocar el mar y manejarlo es ver el espejo limpio es ser natural es demostrar lo que no se ve el poder del lo natural

The famous Luk Chi Fu at last. He was legend by the time I heard of him. I really admire how he does his CNF, tons of personality and presence. Totally unlike the way I was introduced to the form. I shall drink this in for many days in training. *bows*

@Bedstysifu Yes, I stand corrected. LOL! Chan Tai San is my grandmaster.

@karinakunglao1 This goes back to the reign of genghis khan and his grandson Kublai Khan. The Mongols used the Tibetans as allies to help overthrow China. As well as to force Buddhism and diffuse the Taoist sects.
