Northern/Southern kung fu tactics feat @EvosBasics (Wing chun, Choy mok pai vs Xing yi quan)
The northern and southern styles of martial arts differ greatly if you only look on the outside. But what gives rise to these differences and how do their fighting strategies differ?
I explain the different between bridge tactics and body method in this video

Real kung fu staff fighting techniques applications - Choy mok pai (蔡莫派) with kungfuronin
Переглядів 6 тис.2 місяці тому
Choy mok pai staff technique applications (take a look at my new podcast: ua-cam.com/video/DmlNH43gO_4/v-deo.html) Old school kung fu staff techniques use one main strategy - the staff doesn’t sound twice (棍無兩響 - gwun mo leung heung). The aim is to defend and attack in one movement, as opposed to parry many times before attacking. This video highlights a few simple techniques from the Choy mok ...

    Excellent video, thanks for sharing. I did aikido for many years, great for intention, awareness and connection. I was amazed at how much Zhang Zhuan improved my practice and went on to focus on Taijiquan and over the last decade qigong. There are 5 core stances in Zhang zhaung (including the metal pose/#2 shown here). It’s great for meditation and energy development. This pose also helps abdominal breathing by putting a bit more emphasis around the mid dantien. The other 4 core zhan zhuang stances have different effects and a great variation is to do the stance facing 30 or 45 degrees to one side (nose, centre kind and toes of the front foot all facing the same direction and 90%+ weight on the back leg).

    This is amazing stuff! I would however disagree on that push not being for fighting, as I've had a similar move done to me before. It was only roughhousing and my dad didn't push hard but I was sent reeling backwards with no traction and plowed into a table. It sucked but it was educational, and my dad isn't even a Tai Chi practitioner XD It showed the potential of it. If a skilled player catches you at a bad angle they could hurl you off your feet or send you stumbling, and if they've good aim and good spatial awareness then the area you're in and everything and every one in it becomes a minefield.

    This is incredibly similar to Joachim Meyer's quarterstaff that I teach, very interesting to see the similarities where I haven't seen them in wushu or kobudo. On that double overhead block, the old masters in Europe teach it but you have to close the distance to make sure they can't slip off and thrust underneath as you show. If you keep the distance the same or increase it, yeah that's a problem. Nice videos man!

    Wow, I don’t think I’ve seen such a clear comparison to Joachim Meyers sword fighting manuals from the 1500s. That idea of creating a distraction in one area to attack another is a core principal in his fighting style called “changing through”. The range/momentum concept is also there - if I’m too far away and miss I can set up a thrust, if I clash with his sword I can bind, if I’m closer I can hit with the blade, and if I’m really close I enter with handwork or grappling. Very cool, also lots of clear lineage to the early karate styles like Shorin Ryu.

      @@Mrcashewww I’d assume you don’t know about BAJIQUAN But first, you need to learn that compareing X martial art to X martial art is not an effective way of researching the pros and cons of each, and this is why most Martial arts are divided to 2 categories: close quarters and mid range. Long range exists, but that’s for another tactic i’ll mention later. The problem with a lot of the northern Chinese styles is that they rely on a lot of the mid range movement and very little close quarter fighting in comparison, which makes them vulnerable for what we would call the knockout chance. The knockout chance is basically the chance of you being knocked out due to a high kick or a punch while either being in the mid range or transitioning into it, you’ll see this happen when anyone practicing any martial art is moving at the mid range from either a taekwondo person or a boxer, which puts them at a risk of a knockout. This is the core problem when we say that some Chinese martial arts are not effective against boxers because boxers use mid range and this is the weakness of some of the northern Chinese styles. The closer one of being effective but not there yet is wing Chun, it is a southern close quarter style and it is quite effective, but the problem with it is sometimes the practitioner keeps switching between mid range and close quarter, which, again, triggers the knockout chance, which is quite bad in such a situation. For that, as I have mentioned, some of the Chinese styles can be useless or effective in situations, but not others due to this factor. But for the special case that you’re talking about, BAJIQUAN, also known as bodyguard style, have proven this for a long while. There are hundreds of Chinese styles out there and I won’t be surprised if there are others that rrival BAJIQUAN when it comes to close quarter combat, but from what I can see, it is the best one for such a situation and the most you’ll see sparring for on the Internet due to its popularity as a street effective martial art that specialize in close quarters. Best of luck on your journey.
