I'm a Malaysian Chinese. I didn't know such masters live among us. Very knowledgeable and humble, hope the tradition lives.
Lewis Gang, I agree with your statement. It would be such a privilege to learn from this humble, kind and very knowledgeable Master.
请问 Lewis Gan,你们在马来西亚讲客家话，粤语(象在香港)还是国语(象在台湾)?
Dude he looks and sounds like a Singapore minister 😂 well done, very inspiring and powerful master
I've had the privilege of studying under the keen eye of more than one Shaolin Temple Gung Fu Sifu's. After anywhere from 20 to 35 years of actually living the grueling and extremely self disciplined lifestyle, they are Sifu's. They are a very unique and tranquil individual. The sensory development is extremely focused and amazing...the only word that comes to mind. They are not seeking approval from the public. They don't have a need for the adulation of mere mortals. That's why they are rarely seen in public...at least not in the way of the Sifu. ☯️
P.S. By the time you have realized that you picked a fight with a real deal Sifu...you done fucked up and "Landed on Mr Gilmore's Property "!!! Why? The only time a Sifu is going to go off on you is if he is defending himself or someone he loves ❤️. If you have crossed any one of those lines - your only bright spot is that it will be over in less than a second...two at the most !! 😉
I love how little laugh after every explanation. Seems like a very kind man still finding happiness in life and in his art. Don't get better than that.
I'm a Bagua/White Crane practitioner based in Taiwan. Can't tell you how glad I am to see that the internal skills of 5 Ancestors are still alive and well in Malaysia. Most people misunderstand southern arts due to their seemingly rigid appearances and fail to realize that, at higher-levels, they can be just as internal as Taiji/Xingyi/Bagua. Even a large number of southern stylists themselves tend to focus on hard, external training without realizing that there are deeper internal components hidden within the very styles they practice.
Yes five ancestors does contain it's own version of Bagua
Master Yap focus on internal soft art rather than hard style. I am glad to learn under him.
@@SifuJasonChan may i know where can i find him or an address? interested in learning this.
indeed, I always thought of southern mantis as internal, like cutting and flicking energy versus holding and seizing energy at green belt, its the beginning of developing different qualities in the same techniques. I call them whip and stick energy respectively. A whip needs distance to create force and is relaxed and disperses energy across the surface, whereas a stick has power immediately as it doesn't collapse and doesn't need force already running through it to stretch it out into tension. Of course whip energy doesn't disrupt your opponents structure whereas stick energy will move them without need to wind up. Some people dont think its possible and its just so normal to me but when I demonstrate they are like wow it actually works. Of course it does. And its just more sophistated physics and moving into things science has not categorised or fully understood yet, like the fascia and the nervous system.
Taich chi taught me how to hide my base of support and stretch tension on me, dispersing it through my fascia rather then letting the tension line go into my base of support, at the same time I feel my opponents tension lines from point of contact to base of support. Not that I am anywhere near as good as say Adam Mizner lol but it has served me well in 17 years of bouncing and hundreds of violent incidents. I dont even bother with people who dont believe in internal arts trying to explain it to them, I just demonstrate it. Ive also done mua thai, ju jitzu and they are great, good techniques but very simple arts, even jujiztu while it has a wide range of moves, and they do develop great grounding and balance and ability to relax and change but they dont learn how to generate force at zero distance by shaking the fascia with the diaphragm and they leave their tension lines down to base of support.
same principles apply on ground your base of support just changes
This is my system in the US. Five Ancestor Fist is very alive in the USA under the direction of the man who brought it to the US from Chee Kim Thong, John Graham Sr. He is based in Mobile, AL, and I am his Disciple based in Memphis, TN. It is always good to see another video of 5 Ancestors out there. Thank you for doing this film.

care to be beat by amateur MMA fighter with 0 to 8 score ?
Fellow Tennessee comrade from Chattanooga!
I love Asian culture! This video is definitely educational!! Just really listen to what the instructor is actually teaching.
Watching this master and hearing his gentle laughter is like medicine for the heart. What a wonderful teacher.
I could listen to this Sifu talk for hours. Love his history... would like to hear his version of the complete history of Martial Arts in China. Mind Blown on the white Crane thing... I figured it was the mother style and simplified into other systems like WC later. It makes sense that it was an amalgamation of several people (Hakka, Emei etc) and Family styles united into sharing through common cause. Thank you for sharing.
Jason Secretsword Thank you for your feedback.
In response to White Crane - he was talking about "Southern" or "Yong CHun" or "Fujian" WHite Crane, which is very different and much newer than Northern Crane which is also called Tibetan Lama Pai and had a very obvious influence on Northern Longfist akaChangQuan aka Taizu - the Grand Ancestor style he refers to. Called Grand Ancestor because it is the oldest documented style of modern history. So in fact when you are dealing with the Tiger-Crane conundrum you are dealing with martial arts influences which are prehistoric in a very literal sense of the word.
I'm learning this with my Sifu in Ireland. He had practiced with Yap's father. This is perfect for me to find after a few years training to understand much I have forgotten but also the deeper connections he explains now make more sense than they would have. Peace and thanks :)
Was exposed to this art from a Karate Documentary called Great Journey of Karate 3. Has a lot of commonality with the Okinawan styles of Karate/martial arts like Goju Ryu and Shuri-Te. It was a very interesting watch, and has definitely perked my interest in this art.
What an articulate guest! It was such fun hearing him tell about the different styles, origin stories and Chinese history. Another home run Martial Man!!
Thank you!
Agree very knowledgeable, very well explained 🤜🏼🐒🪽interesting
I almost shed a tear seriously it is so good to see a video about basically the style I have been studying and practicing most of my life -GREAT STUFF
This is fascinating. Its soft and feels like nothing to defend against, yet at a point not in contact its strong energy and it sweeps you away with it. Incredible, and I wish we could see the energy movement with our limited eyes. Great video, thanks.
May have said this before but, still, WOW! Such clear instruction from a very competent, dextrous, and well spoken master. This is up there with your best videos in dealing with the internal, relaxed kung fu. And out of the 30 or so I've seen there's only a couple that I couldn't say ive found practical. Big love guys, stay safe and happy! X
Anyone who differentiates chopping and slashing is gold in my book.
My Pak Mei Sibak teaches 5A (a different lineage) out of Dade, Florida, at Burinkan Martial Arts.
The cirriculum is enormous.
This is a great series. I hope it gets a lot more recognition. Much appreciation for the respect you show the various masters and let them do all the talking.

I have watched a few of your videos in the past four or five years, really nice material overall. But this one in particular, part I and II I absolutely loved. A nice mix of explanations, demonstrations, history, fascinating all around.
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed this feature.
Dude thAnk you so much for showing that these ancient arts are not bullshido. I dont understand how they generate so much power but this stuff is real
Thanks for the comment
know this sifu personally. he is a nice guy.
Richard Haw Great to hear. I agree :)
haven't seen him for years. used to talk to him in china in the annual 5 ancestors meet
malaysia
Does he go to SINGAPORE?? Pls pls help me out I wanna be his student!!!
yea, thats what they all say about most people.
What a great interview, such depth in all the historical aspects and an impressive display of the characteristics of the 5 styles. Gonna watch pt 2 straight away :)
bl33kselderij Happy to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks for your feedback 👍
glory be to GOH CHOR. Txs Sifu Yap. Much respect from student of another system. You show good fa jing.
Love it, want more of it!! Thanks 🙏. Excellent show. There’s so many different styles of Kung fu. Thanks 👊🏻
Fantastic! Thank you very much for posting this.
Thankyou, Sifu, for creating and sharing these profound interviews with those at the highest levels of the various martial arts of the world.
I have found your series extremely interesting, and insightful. It must have been a truly amazing and enlightening experience for you to meet and speak with the various grandmasters etc of Gong Fu, and all of the manifold martial arts masters whom you have interviewed. In looking at how much insight and understanding that l have gained from watching the interviews, l am certain that it would have been profoundly insightful, bringing many reflections upon your own journey in Wing Chun.
Have always found that many aspects, principles and insights can be gained and incorporated from other martial schools and systems, and bring further insight, development and understanding of ones own primary system therein, also.
Sean O'Brieon it's been an amazing journey for sure and there is lots more to come in the future.
Great stuff! Some of the best martial info I have seen on youtube.
Luis Thank you for your feedback.
very beautifully explained and demonstrated with no ego ar arrogance a true martial display
Thank you for sharing this with the world Sifu
Excellent! Thank you master Krygier!
Indeed a very good educative session.. The master explained things so beautifully.. I learned a lot of things about Chinese martial arts history..!!
Thanks for the video! The cutting principle is especially great.
Really appreciate this video, Master Yap Boh Heong is very well spoken and demonstrates the techniques in a very clear way.
Always a treat, keep on trucking sir, it’s wild...wow...love it...
Thank you so much for sharing this information 🙏🏻💙so grateful
From the Master's description, and short demonstration of the various Ancestor Arts, it reminds me of a Method that was easily managing a Pak Mei group where I was living over 30 years ago. Two of my Senior students related a match up between what they, (my students), referred to as a "Family" Style that they also said the practitioner referred to as "Ancestor". My students were training and exchanging basic elements of our individual Methods, (Pak Mei, and ours), and they were impressed by the Ancestor Method.
What I do find interesting was that the Master demonstrated what we refer to as "Joining" when he easily moved the interviewer . . .something that I definitely never expected to see from anyone outside our group.
I often wondered what the Method they had described to me was but, as usual, Life got in the way and I had so many other things to focus on. Over 30 years later . . .well better late than never.
Thanks for the post
According to the oral history of Southern Shaolin, Pak Mei and Wu Mei knew each other and were considered enemies. It is also said that Wu Mei could have been the one responsible for Pak Mei's death. It's possible that some of the Kungfu knowledge from different systems was exchanged during that period. Thank you for the comment and sharing your experience.
This was excellent Shifu Yap Boh Heong explains things beautifully - thank you
Glad it was helpful!
sir, part 2 please
thank you !!
love it

I must say this video gave me a wealth of insight. I am a 2nd degree Black in Ju Jitsu ( Moses Powell/ Sanucus Ryu). The concept of these strikes are so practical if applied properly. Great to see. Huss 🙏🏾!
This combination of styles was like MMA before MMA was cool...yet much prettier.
Shaolin monks were basically the first MMAists in China.
This combination of styles is what Karate was developed from. Five Ancestors is the direct parent style of Okinawan Karate, especially Goju Ryu.
@@44excalibur awesomeness.
Fair analogy
Wow. Very well spoken, exact and knowledgeable.
Thank you for this video, very kind and wise master!
This is pure gold
Amazing demonstration, thank you. Perhaps will learn the forms one day.
Super interesting, especially the history lesson
Thanks 👍 very informative history of Shaolin martial art
SUUUUUUUUPERB!!! Science indeed!
Waw... I don't know what to say, just waw!!!❤
Thanks for this explanation!
Really quite impressive
Thank you nice information reminds me of many things found in Indonesian kuntao silat.
Very good vid. Thanks!
Are you originaly wing chun practitioner?
This master is high level of the martial Artist.I can tell the way he generate his power is so amazing.
Master Yap is very high-level for sure. Thanks for the comment.
You believe this shit tong Lee?
realy sweeeeeeeeeet, showing the " fook sao " movement by flicking his fingers . Thanks especially for that .
I am a great grand mother and follow Shaolin with the Master of Shaolin Europe (you have changed my life, thank u so much master) I do yr boost vitality every day and onto the 3rd day of yr 6 day challenge (don't think yr happy jumps are so happy 😢 I watched the 5 Ancestors last night which I am thinking would be nice to know if accosted by some of the nasties around these days, is there a more explanatory video to watch to Master this procedure as I had trouble understanding how to get control of the attacker.
thank you very much for all you do for us.i wish if you could go to chen jiagou village to make videos also with other tai chi teachers from all styles of tai chi,also other internal arts
The most curated comments section I've ever seen. I love this crud
very nice master
@The Martial Man very good video !
Tony Champion thank you!
superb!
That is s legit!! Having a king fu Master show you all the styles 😮
8:24 It’s 7 pm. Dinner time!
ini nih ... bukan kaleng-kaleng
Sehr interessant Sache, Lebenslauf besteht bestimmt nur aus Training. Echt heftig. Und super cool. Kein fake Master. 👍👍👍👍 1 more Abo 🙃
Believe me, this form of traditional martial art is a combat art and its not for sports. With proper training, it is highly lethal and can kill a person with a single punch.
9:28 I had to come back and look at that again. That is just insane.
Impressive right?
That's a real master. Ancient martial arts are extraordinary but are often underrated (or even laughed at) because modern practitioners very rarely train realistically. The day Wing Chun and Shaolin practitioners will seriously train for MMA competitiond we'll have world champions in a matter of 10 to 20 years.
First of all I want to thank you for sharing this great footage with us. I was wondering if the wooden man in the background is used for five ancestor fist practice? Have you witnessed that? greetings from Switzerland
Alvin Kunz The wooden dummy was given to the club but is not part of the 5 Ancestors system.
Good interview. thanks
hellfire8888 Thank you
THE MARTIAL MAN. Great interview! Is there a part 2?
Jason Ward thank you.

Thank you for keeping these arts out there for us to see..
TheGrafton12 You're welcome.
Bad Boys Bad Boys, WAKA MAKA DO !!! Karate MASTER faka raka HU!
9:28 is we all wanna learn!
(to add to our technique arsenal!)
Internal power from body to body, well done!
Overall quite well explained. From my understanding, white crane was created by a lady with the name of 方七娘， and not 五枚尼姑。Anyway, great to see there are masters teaching this martial art form.
Awesome! Dudes voice sounds exactly like Donnie yen playing chirrut imwe. "The strongest stars have hearts of kyber!"
That was crazy how he sent you over to the side with that rolling fist.
blockmasterscott Yes very impressive skills.
6 ancestors fist is not only wide but also deep-
That is the reason why it is difficult to master congfu
Nice video and sifu
紅塵煉心 happy moment Thank you, glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Wow... i want to learn that.. where is this place?
I wanna learn I live in Singapore where can I learn from him?? Help me out!!
he seems amazing guy
He really is
I just subscribed by Paypal to the Martial Man. Where is this Sifu Located, exactly so that I can visit and train?
Master Yap Boh Heong is one of the five instructors teaching at the next 13-day training camp I'm hosting in Chiang Mai Thailand, 09th - 22nd January 2020 facebook.com/events/712573605805095
Iam proud of bodhi dharma..(tamo)
Because he is from telugu states
How about addressing the tough questions? Like, did you ever fight? How often, with whom? Was there sparring in class? Do you see what you teach as the Fist art or the Do art? How about your teacher and his class?
Yes, against a street fighter I think all this would be useless
What did he whisper in your ear?
It really is a shame how fake martial artists and overreacting students have tarnished the image of traditional martial arts. This truly was a delight and refreshing to watch. Master Heong does not look very strong on the outside, but you can clearly see just how strong his tendons are as well as the amount of power he brings through his body.
May i know, after Sifu Chee Kim Thong passed away, who is the current lineage holder of the 5 Ancestors Fist style?
In my opinion, it should be GM C'see Kim Thong's 5th son, James Chee Boon Seng, based in Sydney Australia. His skill and knowledge is incredible, way beyond mine; and the reason I don't call myself, Sifu! Boh Yap.
Thank you for your response.
There are several schools of 5 Ancestors that have different recent lineages. The late Chee Kim Thong was Master of his own school. When he died, the notable masters who were his own disciples (whom I am aware of were) the late Yap Cheng Hai, Han Kim Sen and James Chee. There may well be others whom I do not know.
I like the great power that this guy can generate and would love to learn from him evem though i know how much work is involvec. One thing i think about is how does an internal master handle a fast, very strong opponent attacking with gusto. If the bad guy managed a hard strike to a soft spot, would the internal guy be able to absorb it. I know its the same for any art but some train to handle very intense attacks and strikes. Can a person be proficient at internals and be muscular? I have seen a monkey master who trains internals and has big strong muscles, i wonder about having the best of all worlds. I guess it depends what you want; to be a soldier or what. My goal is to be strong and have cotrol of internal energy to some extent. One last thought is that if not for the intense fighting in china amongst the dynasties, there would not have been any martial arts at all. Its funny considering the effect of buddhism in china. I suppose that is the reason for the wonderful and diverse culture in china. When you have a couple of billion people in such a relatively small country, so much can happen and hopefully the best will prevail. Lucky that buddhism was the relugion because had it been amy other if the popular ones in the world today, the world would probably have been destroyed in war and violence. Buddhism added meditation and respect of nature to the ability to fight and defend. Thats why i think buddhism is by far the only religion that is great. The others insight violence, and hate. The word non-believer and how non-believers are treatec in one of the other big religious groups shows why the world is in trouble. China evolved in the best way except for communism. Communism went way beyond what it was meant for and stripped their people of any spirituality. It was successful in preserving the lives of so many people but took away their cultures. Nothing is perfect and some things are evil.
@Perry. We have a saying "train one way and fight another". And most religions are focused on a supreme being whereas Buddhism is towards purifying the mind just as a goldsmith purifies gold. Am still learning from a master who knows the art, shows the way and who walks the path. Hope my reply does justice to your thought out comments.
That was the very best explanation and clear demonstration of those styles ever I saw,but where is this guy ,and how can we get in touch with him?
Master Yap is living and teaching in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. You can find his email address in the description of this video.
The blade arm uses the physics principle that a smaller contact patch creates more pressure. Creating more pain for the opponent. The fist with the index knuckle poking out uses the same principle. I forgot what style that is
Check out :
Lung Ying
Tong Bei
Hakka Chow Gar
Perfect Sifu.
This material could easily be made into a modern historical fact based movie or. documenty .
I don't think we can assume the place Wing Chun in Fujian is connected to Wing Chun (martial arts style). So it can be perfectly normal to have White Crane as their main style. Unless Sifu Yap can provide some evidence to back that up. Thanks.
I wish someone with those styles could fight in UFC
This would be different from 五行 fist?
its hard to keep track of the names especially when Cantonese and Mandarin are used...example NG MUI is cantonese pronunciation and WU MUI is Mandarin pronunciation.
is this in Malaysia?
I have heard the name 5 ancestors fist referring to a style called ngo cho kun ...it was taught by the late grandmaster Alex co in the Philippines...is there a relation or lineage between the two?
@@sifulowkey2619 i heard about ngo cho kun from a mark Wiley book who's teacher was sifu alex co who had chinese ancestry so i doubt he was trying to take credit for anything...as for the incorporation of FMA into JKD i dont think bruce would have minded that or maybe he would have but we will never know so we cannot assume to think for the late master Lee.. he obviously didn't dislike the FMA judging on his usage of the double sticks in enter dragon.... My initial question was is there a link between the art in this video and ngo cho kun but I'll ask some of the local masters here in New York City...thx.
@@redbaron1953 no (*・～・*)
Hi i would like to know the name of the music please
I would love to share, but these tracks are exclusive to my channel.
I understand. I love this music!
I love this track too.
The 5 monks combining their art to one sounds very similar to the wing Chun theory of it's beginning.
If he just punched this guy in the head he would cry. Test it against an aggressor not someone that is compliant. Chinese kung fu is like the CCP. Just a bunch of lies.
@@stevent9499 ya, I wonder, you never see anyone using these hand techniques in any real fight. They are good for practice and playing around but once you start actual fight everything goes out the window.
@@WCtrainer1 Tru dat!
9:29 the shock of his face lol
I was certainly surprised at the amount of power Master Yap generated with such a slight movement 😁
I see, so Dámó is Bodhi Dharma. Alan Watts talks about him, and how he would ride the wind.. or maybe, the wind would ride him?
I realy like you videos ,check deep on choy lee fut style ,you will like it
Hollywood celebrity Channing Tatum is Black belt in this system. Also known as Goh Chor. This system exists in America.
