Since many ppl seem to have a problem with me relating a *chinese* martial art to *japanese* music I am just gonna pin my opinion on the matter: You are definitely right in saying that Taiko originated from Japan. But beeing a Kung Fu practitioner for 11yrs now I can safely say that percussion based music is also related to this (and many other) martial arts. Maybe not Taiko per se but Taiko-esque. For me these two things, granted that they originate from different cultures, work really well together and looking at the comments I don't seem to be the only one thinking so. Let me stress again, you are right Taiko is independent to Japan. So why did I title the video the way I did? Simply to make sure that the video reached its intended audience and does not confuse people. Most of the time "Kung Fu music" equals "Tai Chi music" and this is simply not what most people are looking for.
chinese armies used huge drums as psychological warfare. Not much difference between a lion dancing drum and a taiko.... drums and martial spirit go back in all cultures....great work!
He Tian Heng Pictures besides, why cant taiko be used to play chinese music? why cant i use a spanish guitar to play russian folk music? xD greeeat video btw))))
Additionally, China has traditional Jiangzhou drum music which marked similarities to Taiko drum music. However, Jiangzhou drums are less known. I think Taiko works very well for Kung Fu.
you did great job by naming this video, the way you did :) thanks for uploading and getting me to training for this wushu exam :D martial arts are great, so dont let any borders stop us. we are all the same people, so let us come together and share some good times. instead of fighting for our countrys, culture or what ever, let us fight for a free and exchanging world. so have a good time, greetings form germany.
You are most certainly right man. I've been doing Northern Shaolin Long Fist for 7 months now and this is exactly what I'm looking for when I'm training my forms. Thank you!
I've practiced yoga for seven years, and this music has me throwing in some powerful moves I didn't know existed, where have martial arts been all of my life?!
Well, i would say yoga is Very similar to the martial arts because It is based on the movements of the Animals And the nature, Just like a few martial arts
This captures the essence of the warrior spirit! Definitely a beautiful piece to listen to. It gives me the courage and strength to keep developing and excel in my art.
Ricardo Camacho I have many arts. If we talk in martial arts, I study the traditional taekwondo to develop my legs. I wish to study other arts such as karate-do and wing chun kung fu as well. I find martial arts as some sort of meditation. But I believe there is many kind of arts in life. Meditation, tea ceremony, so on so forth. Do you study any art yourself?
Jiroubou Akamichi I do! Karate. Kyokushin and Shito-Ryu, mainly. Shotokan is very rich as well. (sorry for the delay replying) There was a point where I was very much in love with Tae Kwon Do, but it was soon pushed aside by my love for Karate. Recently I've been looking at some Jiu-Jitsu stuff. Another art I enjoy and develop is philosophy :) I love debates.
This music is so much more powerful than I thought. I did a semi squat in the air and stayed in that same position for long periods of time. While I listened the music I thought about the grace of martial arts and how light you have to be on your feet
for those wondering what the symbol in the video is. its the royal seal of the ryukyu kingdom. now modern day Okinawa and neighboring islands and was a vassal state for the shimazu until the meiji restoration when it was annexed.
I am so going to listen to this training music when my father and I both are practicing our marital arts together outdoors. This is so perfect for the warrior spirit within. Thanks for the upload He Tian Heng Pictures. I can not wait to see more of your awesome videos. Keep up the good work.
thank you very much ^^ It's good to see that martial arts connect two generations (It's the same with me and my father ;-)) There are other Kung Fu related videos on my channel. Cgeck them out if you like ^^
maplecoconuthead That's too boad. But you can't expect everyone (even family members) to have the same view on certain things but you can try to make them understand and respect your opinion. Always look ahead and focus what's important to you - but don't forsake your family while doing so ;-)
The Dragon Dance and Stance in the PHILIPPINE culture showed the meaningful relationship with LOCAL businesses during the NEW YEAR'S with BEATS similar to that heard hear. It is nice to say that the beats and melody bring a unique TRANQUILITY and a wonderful ARTFUL experience worthy of the NEW YEARS.
I listened to this and set II today. I really need this. I used to practice the martial art of Aikido until about 10 years ago I quit. I've never really been myself ever since, and I recently discovered tat the absence of at least one form of martial arts in my life is the cause of this. I guess you're now part of my journey of re-discovering myself ;-)
+W.W. Schuuring Wow, that was moving - my hat goes off to you for being so honest and open. Glad I could help you get back on track ^^ Stay focussed and keep moving forward Amitofo -/\-
haha, yea I can imagine ^^ What are the animations like? I mean is it more like fantastic martial arts movements or more real life based? I am considering playing it but I am unsure....
Eoghan O'Reilly They are feeling animals such as you ..... “The idea that some lives matter less than others is the root of all bad happening in this world“ maybe think about it.......there's also a Philosophie behind Kungfu etc
This is awesome! Can you tell me what song or artist that begins :41 and goes thru 3:48. My son does demo martial arts and would love to use that track and wants to credit the artist.
Suzanne Ousley Man, I really should've made a tracklist back then ... alright after some research I can tell you that the artist is "SeamlessR" and the song is called "Drum". If you are only interested in this song you can get it from its original source: www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/147686
....and its really got the pace and tempo of good wu shu moves - kodaiko, as a Japanese movement not only contibutes but also commemorates early kung fu classes in 4.B.C China. Peace&Love everybody!
Wow 58k+ views?! Big THANK YOU to all you guys ^^ Looking in the comments fills my heart with joy. Seeing so many fellow martial artists that I could reach with this mix. It really was worth the effort. You'll be glad to hear that I am planning on doing a new Taiko set next year. But this will take a while for a number of reasons: It is really hard to find good Taiko music. Especially since I try to use cc-licensed music. But over the past years I've collected quite a few new songs. Also I am not really a sound designer (usually I am behind the camera or in post production) so it is kind of tough for me to make a good sounding mix. And lastly I am currently writing my bachelor thesis which pretty much consumes my whole time (plus there are some other projects currently on hold). But I will definitely do it because it's something I am not just doing it for me or some client I am doing for all you guys. Amitofo -/\-
Good news ppl ^^ The new Taiko Set is almost finished. I am trying to upload it within this week. And let me tell you it's really good and really long ;-) But unfortunately not under cc-license which means you should be careful when using it in your own projects. It is also possible (but unlikely) that it will be taken down due to copyright infringement - but we'll see. I tried my best to research other publications using the same songs to see if they are flagged and they weren't so I am pretty sure that the new Taiko Set will stay on yt. Amitofo -/\-
Felicidades, en verdad son temas muy interesantes, potentes, con gran espíritu para las artes marciales Congratulations, really are very interesting, powerful, with great spirit for martial arts themes
I need to figure out how to download this so I can bring it anywhere, really nice to be able to practice different hand exercises to. Thank you for posting
Gemini Cruz you can download and convert youtube videos quite easily. just google "youtube to mp3" and pick a converter of your choice ;-) aaaaaand while you are at it pls check out the new Taiko Set: ua-cam.com/video/73_ivjiVQEw/v-deo.html
Age Of Wushu Dynasty is for phones and it's kinda open world gameplay with Martial Arts and Chinese martial arts music in it so you guys should definitely check it out if you're into games
The sound of back handing a wasp at an outside restaurant and then standing looking cool cus you do martial arts = what this music makes me imagine...... lol

the martial arts community needs initiative like yours, you've done us all a great service thankyou
I am honored by your words. Thank you.
Taico drum the best four martial arts
I've practiced yoga for seven years, and this music has me throwing in some powerful moves I didn't know existed, where have martial arts been all of my life?!
yoga in many ways is similar to the martial art tai chi
Well, i would say yoga is Very similar to the martial arts because It is based on the movements of the Animals And the nature, Just like a few martial arts
This captures the essence of the warrior spirit! Definitely a beautiful piece to listen to. It gives me the courage and strength to keep developing and excel in my art.
Jiroubou Akamichi Definitely. What is your art?
Ricardo Camacho I have many arts. If we talk in martial arts, I study the traditional taekwondo to develop my legs. I wish to study other arts such as karate-do and wing chun kung fu as well. I find martial arts as some sort of meditation.

beautiful japan I really like japan :)
for those wondering what the symbol in the video is. its the royal seal of the ryukyu kingdom. now modern day Okinawa and neighboring islands and was a vassal state for the shimazu until the meiji restoration when it was annexed.
Ryukyu kingdom ohhhh and what the hell is that??? :o
It is called a Triskelion exhibiting rotational symmetry. It appears in many cultures.
I am so going to listen to this training music when my father and I both are practicing our marital arts together outdoors. This is so perfect for the warrior spirit within. Thanks for the upload He Tian Heng Pictures. I can not wait to see more of your awesome videos. Keep up the good work.
thank you very much ^^
It's good to see that martial arts connect two generations (It's the same with me and my father ;-))
There are other Kung Fu related videos on my channel. Cgeck them out if you like ^^
Awesome to hear. I to enjoy seeing family training together. Looking forward in checking out other Kung Fu related videos on your channel.
He Tian Heng Pictures toobad my father just thinks martial arts is just guys flinging fist to eachother while i have a passion for martial arts
maplecoconuthead
That's too boad. But you can't expect everyone (even family members) to have the same view on certain things but you can try to make them understand and respect your opinion.
Always look ahead and focus what's important to you - but don't forsake your family while doing so ;-)
Indeed He Tian Heng smiles.
I enjoy listening to this after my Jiu-Jitsu lessons 🥋
The Dragon Dance and Stance in the PHILIPPINE culture showed the meaningful relationship with LOCAL businesses during the NEW YEAR'S with BEATS similar to that heard hear. It is nice to say that the beats and melody bring a unique TRANQUILITY and a wonderful ARTFUL experience worthy of the NEW YEARS.
Hey, that is some cool information - thanks for sharing!
Listening to this while shadow boxing. It made everything more epic hahah
Same lol
I listened to this and set II today. I really need this. I used to practice the martial art of Aikido until about 10 years ago I quit.
