Hasayfu Hung Kuen - Double Tiger-Head Steel Shields Sample

This is a sample of the Double Tiger-Head Steel Shields set of Hasayfu Hung Kuen demonstrated by Sifu Wing Lam. To my knowledge, this weapon and its associated set is found only within the Hasayfu system. In my opinion, one of the more interesting weapons to see. It is also a fairly short set (hence the short sample). ADDENDUM: I've found this weapon listed on one Choy Li Fut website. It may have a presence in other Southern styles as well. If anyone knows of a good video demonstrating these shields in a different style, please leave a comment! It'd be great to see such an uncommon weapon in different lights.

do they weigh much or is this guy just frickin strong?

[winglamkungfu]

@TheRoeliskoel According to students that were around back when these vids were made, each shield weighed 20 lbs.

yes but if you search the site of the plum bellossom federation you will find this weapon in the weapons section :)

@markohu Found it! It is mentioned on the long list of weapons. I'm a bit bummed out, though...I was really hoping to see video of a different "flavor" of the shields being practiced. Ah well, thanks for the info.

yes search for doc fai wong page on you tube

@markohu No luck so far, but I'll keep looking. I'm actually really interested in seeing CLF movements with these shields. Is "PlumBlossomIntlFed" Doc Fai Wong's official channel?

[winglamkungfu]

@markohu Interesting! I can definitely see their use being conducive to the (generally) swinging arm movements of CLF. Do you know if there are any YT vids available?

[markohu]

they are also used in choy li fut
