"Tan Tui" or "Spring Kicks"(Part 1)

http://wongkk.com/video-clips/shaolin/spring-kicks01.html
"Tan Tui" (pronounced like "th'an th'ui") or "Spring-Kicks" is a well-known style of Northern Shaolin Kungfu famous for its kicks. After a training session during the Shaolin Review Course in December 2004 in Malaysia, Michael Chow from Shaolin Wahnam Canada who has won a few medals in international wushu competitions, asks Sifu Wong the combat applications of some Tan Tui techniques. Sifu Wong explains that the strength of Tan Tui lies in its sequences rather than in its patterns, where a practitioner can attack an opponent using an appropriate sequence often regardless of the opponent's responses! First Sifu Wong asks Michael to demonstrate a Tan Tui sequence. Then he explains its combat application.

Very interesting seeing a wushu athlete learning traditional applications. Always thought that if I could have gotten my old nanquan coach to learn straight Hung Gar I could enter her into cage fighting matches and watch her mangle people=)

haha, kung fu is not really about mangling people, but i'm sure that's possible

@SoundwaveSuperior373 finally someone who knows what theyre talking about much respect

[SoundwaveSuperior373]

it is only impractical if u fail to make it work alot of ppl these days just fail simply because they dun spend enough time training simple kicking n punching ne1 can learn to do that its like u give sum1 a guitar ne1 can hit a few strings but it takes practice to shred lightning fast kung fu has 2 parts forms n free fighting forms r just to train various technique over n over its like hitting a bag when they free fight they fight just like ne1 else

[shaolindrunk]

no, why?

[shaolindrunk]

nice, sounds like this man actually knows a bit of something, and perhaps has seen a bit others haven't. Muay thai for instance used to be they would only train fixed techniques and force, Thailand effected a damn good army in that manner too, Same with Chinese generals like Lu Bu and Ngok Fei

TexasSurfDonkey whats up with all narrow minded'ness? lol You do know Mixed Martial Arts ARE martial arts right?...As for patterned forms of fighting, BBJ and kickboxing or whateva do have fixed techniques for certained types of attacks, and yes thoses are considered a type of pattern..lol dumbass

I didn't say it was okay, I'm just saying it made me laugh, it was rude and I felt bad about it, what do you mean you bet you live better than us?

[TEXASSURFDONKEY]

Pretty hypocritical of you.

Its okay for someone to make a stereo-typical remark like "Trailer-Park"?

Fuck both of you I am willing to bet I live better than both you bitches put together.

HAHAHA!!! beware tornadoes, that made me laugh (may have been a tad rude though :] )
