Ground Work- Lazy Monkey Watching Sky

Sifu Kai Uwe of Shaolin Wahnam Germany, who is also an expert in ground fighting, demonstrates some effective groundwork in Shaolin Kungfu to keep an opponent at bay. This Shaolin pattern is known as "Lazy Monkey Watching the Sky". The video was taken impromptu during a Warrior Project training session.

At 0:10 you got tricked and kept on moving leaving yourself open for a brief opening and thats when a good fighter would have jumped on top of you. By the way , i dont like wong kiew kit and his chikung(ive read all his books) is not the way i was taught to cultivate internal power.Wong kiew kits chikung is good for grannys and grandpas, it will give you chi but not true internal power as is taught in genuine internal arts it is clear to see by the way all his students move and by how he teaches

@oscie1 the opening you seem to be referrring to is not really present or at least in the way you see it. Being turned slightly away while on the ground is nothing at all that will hamper a reverse kick from the ground. Have you ever trained these patterns before?

@oscie1 I will fill you in on a little secret (if you want to call it that) the tactics and philosophies used are just as important as and kung fu pattern. A good fighter may have tried to jump on top of Master Kai Uwe Jettkandt, you are mistaken if you think that would be unfavorable for him or that Master Kai would be at a disadvantage, The monkey in kung fu is famous for his bag of tricks & I promise you that you can not truly appreciate this fact from watchin such a short video.

If you really want to learn ground, there is this one art called "Brazilian Jujutsu". They have a lot of useful techniques.
