its the same thing, is jus the way ppl spell it

Amazing master, amazing to see such a great skill, now this is real, you can see he does Chow gar in every single move. I love this cind of masters where they really show how a style should be preformed. And now we can see that the old 70's kung fu movies are not far behind the truth. I wish there were a wing chun shifu like this in a old fotoge, that can dominante and preform and still keeping his confidence and style where you can just watch and be amazed.

I think the CLF guy is a beginner and the mantis guy is at the master level. If not, this was just a performance to show how to apply mantis techniques as the actions of CLF guy moved very slowly, he tried to lay open and left himself for an attack. Anyway I like both styles.

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING ONE OF HIS STUDENT IN THE LATE 60S TO EARLY 70S HE WAS YOUNGER AND VERY STRONG, YET VERY SUPPLE. BUT THAN AGAIN THAT IS WHAT A TRUE MASTER OF GUNG-FU, IS ALL ABOUT.

@shiifu , I saw your video on your channel, was that Wing Chun and if so? what branch? it looks real good and effective.

[yizhichanlohan]

oh when i said felling its the same as throwing but more inclusive what i meant was grappling! (both standing and ground fighting wise)

[yizhichanlohan]

and of course the grabbing is much more technically advanced in southern praying mantis.

[yizhichanlohan]

this is a great video :) noone should be offended i do choy lee fut . its a master of southern praying mantis and a student testing his kungfu. both kungfu styles are complete martial arts featuring striking kicking throwing and felling as well as chi kung and other force training methods philosophy meditation specialized skills weapons fighting and evasion tactics. as well as much much more :) both are great choy lee fut is better for fighting several opponents at once though

[xianwuxing]

This CLF guy should get his money back . He has no understanding of fighting. He should stick to forms. Sadly many martial artist don't understand fighting.

@RagingUtai Thank you, I'll look in to it. If you have any sources about the style of Yuen Kay-san's Wing Chun, please link it in a response - I only seemed to find a short bio of the man, not an awful lot on his style.

@berg89dk

Make sure u read about yuen kay san wing chun. Yuen kay san was the best wing chun master, superior to even yip man. When ever there was a challenge or fight of styles, yuen kay fought for wing chun, not yip man.
