    Sifu Hisham Al Haroun aka Jiang Yu Shan. I knew him through Vahva Fitness

    Thank you Antonio. I began learning about Sifu Hisham in 2020. The more I learn of him the more I appreciate his attitude towards Chinese boxing. Legitimate teachers are rare today. Few people think of spending thirty or fourty years training to obtain their goal. I like Hisham. Next time I visit Taipei perhaps I can arrange a visit with him. Thanks for sharing.

    Thailand doesnt have a front snap kick. thailand has a push kick. but the push kick can be used to push or to stomp and is exactly like the wing chun or southern chinese style kick. hisham has studied in chinese martial arts for thirty years and been in taiwan for about eight. i have been studying in thailand and cambodia but also in china.

    -So, basically what I'm saying is this...It's not the fighters that are the problem. It's the sponsors, promoters, poor venue choices, lack of fan knowledge, and bottom-line greed for money. These events generate a lot of money.(period) There is side-betting(illegally), tampering with equipment, and then you got assholes on steroids or intentionally throwing/working fights. That's why I'm fighting again at age 33-I love the martial arts and I love people, and they're making it into a circus

      True. UFC fights are not bssed on a league or you fight the next in line. There is no line. McGregor held a belt until he got his second no defense of either. Nate Diaz beat McGregor but never got the belt. Other fighters in UFC are stripped after a few months. UFC is a joke and only cares about money..

    • @Sciurus
      @Sciurus 3 роки тому +2

      @@bidibum dit da jow, or iron palm jow, or a combination of the two, and it's a probably a turmeric based alcohol extraction of many different herbs used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The curcumin in turmeric is an extremely potent anti-inflammatory on par or better than many pharmaceutical steroids with minimal to no side effects in most people (except maybe nausea if you eat too much of it, but it wont absorb thru your stomach unless you take it with black pepper at the same time to block the enzymes that break down the curcumin before it can reach your blood stream from your stomach/intestines, which is why the make it a topical based linament you massage directly into the targeted areas you are training to harden). There are also a bunch of other different herbs that protect and heal the veins and bruising. Im sure you could ask for a list from a dealer like on that website EastmeetsWest! Basically it prevents arthritis and other chronic inflammation based conditions and allows you to get hands like the Sifu here instead of looking (and feeling) like you have rheumatoid arthritis after decades of training. It's also great if you crash longboarding hills you don't belong riding like me haha! Although I just usually make it into a nasty tasting tea with Puuka's Three Ginger Tea with too much finely ground black pepper for anyone to actually enjoy the taste of. Then you can put the tea bag directly on the bruise when you're done drinking it if you dont feel like going thru the trouble of shaking a dit da jow jar with all the herbs and vodka in it twice a day for over a month so it has extracted enough alkaloids from the plants into the linament before you can begin to use it. Although I imagine that the linament is far more effective than a weak tea, my experience using just turmeric based and black pepper teas has left me in awe of how effective it is at rapidly healing bruises and pain from inflammation since we are so psychologically conditioned in the West to just reach out for a bottle of pills like Tylenol or Advil (or even some Vicodins a decade+ ago before opioids became a public menace in the mainstream media all over again, not that they cant be, but they can also help people really suffering if used responsibly) when injured instead of ever trying a more natural herbal solution that would be tolerated far better by our bodies for long term use. And if you study Qigong or Traditional Chinese medicine or even Vedic medicine or western Alchemy, you would come to realize that these systems propose based on their experiences with their experimental studies that there is life force energy or vibration that is unique to living creatures that is imbued in all of us that is directly linked with consciousness and the field of consciousness. Because these natural chemicals were extracted from living plants that are also imbued with this unique "vibration", they are able to readily merge with and alter the similar "vibrations" in our own body and fix the blockages that lead to stagnation and other injuries. Just replace "vibration" with ki/qi/chi/prana/kundalini/vril/bio-electricity/etc. I may be wrong but that is my understanding of it based on quick overviews of traditional Vedic and Chinese medicine, western alchemy, the writings of members of the Theosophical society, pre WW1 Victorian era electrical engineering understanding of physics, etc. Basically their theories of how the body works and how consciousness arises in the human body is different than what we are taught in modern western medical science, and because of that, they tend to stick with herbs or extractions of plants, animals, minerals, and metals in a more alchemical system rather than the strict chemistry based strictly materialist philosophy of modern western medicine and healthcare. If you are not exposed to these more etheric, spiritual and energy based systems of thought, it would appear very alien or even woo-woo, but if you begin to study classical pre-Einstein electrodynamics, along with Theosophy, Aristotle's 4 element physics philosophy, learn about Nicola Tesla's æther, and then begin studying the Yi Jin Jing, the Vedas, Acupuncture, herbalism, Alchemy and it's history, along with the history of science and engineering (and medicine), then it all begins to come together to create a world view very different than the mainstream materialist view of how the human body works within nature and how our bodies, brains, & minds are all connected to the macroscopic world of the cosmos all around us. That's also the theory behind how haruspex apparently works too. Anyway I guess I got carried away and wrote a small book, but it is a very nuanced topic, and to really understand the theory behind how they developed all of these herbal linament formulas, you can't come at it from our modern western materialist perspective because they were developed 500 years ago by Master Herbalists in the Shaolin temple who used a very different philosophy and science than most of would have in a western nation today. And until we have a functional theory of everything that explains everything from the paradoxes of physics to mechanism behind UFO propulsion systems, then we cannot say with ANY certainty that our mainstream western view of the world has a monopoly on what the underlying fundamental "truth" of reality really is! And because that "truth" is also probably weaponizable, much like nuclear science & engineering, it will probably remain amongst the highest levels of state secrets if ever discovered! So us poor slobs at the bottom rungs of the ladder of world power will never get a peak at that "truth" outside of an act of God occurring!
      Well that should nicely end my ridiculous diatribe Lol!

    -The biggest problem right now is the fact that these different promotions are looking for a 'certain kind of look' to the events, the fighters, and the style of actual fighting. They're only concerned with what sells. I was just watching tv last night and I saw some amateurs that were very impressive and would put a lot of these so-called pros to shame because of their dedication to the art and they're putting it all on the line.

He was scared. Then, last minute, the promoter tried to pull a fast one and switch fighters and have me fight some guy 20lbs lighter than me with no experience(a tomato can) which was bullshit.

    No disrespect meant. Honest question, howcome none of this worked in the cage when you fought? It seems like quite hardcore training, especially with the extent of scar tissue and inflammation in his hands and wrists, but it didnt seem to make a very applicable or useful difference in the mma fight

      No no. The elderly gentleman in the vid, that's why I said the scar tissue and inflammation in the hands?
      I saw the content which looked very interesting and so I wanted to see more, then the fight of him applying in mma and in the cage came up and I think it resulted in a knock down and I wasnt able to see any of the techniques or theory applied effectively.
      So for the purpose of understanding more I wanted to enquire
