      In Gung-Fu there really is no such thing as a Master.. You're simply a Master Student as all Gung-Fu can never be learned in 10 lifetimes. That's why in old Kung-fu movies, even a Shaolin Monk who was the top exponents of Gung-Fu would only say they know a LITTLE Kung-fu

    Wow. I am starting to understand it all now. I totally understood what the master was saying and doing because I am just knowing how my structure works. It is quite an amazing feeling to finally understand how internal arts work. As soon as I understood, my mind and body simply became one and the body understood the mind and the mind understood the body. "Too seek hardness, you must seek softness first."
    I need to meditate on this now. Wow, my percpective has changed dramatically. Thank you Martial man for this interview. Keep going.
    My question for you is: What did he whisper into your ear?

    Love it. Very interesting how closely float, sink, draw, and expel correspond to peng, an, lu, and ji from taijiquan. I'm a bagua/xingyi/taiji guy, but my Sifu also teaches white crane and Wing Chun. He's told me numerous times that white crane has the full internal picture. The southern short arm styles are very clever. Thanks for the work in producing your vids, and thanks for sharing these wonderful interviews.

In my long search journey, I found high martial arts and high faith to be parallel. Saw the 5 elements explained differently here. My goal was to conquered martial arts. The opposite happened. Martial arts conquered me. "I have to know myself first before the enemies". I am so humbled by this journey. Amen.

    I've dealt with internal martial arts practitioners over the years to know that trying to get these guys off balance is like trying to push over a tree. They are so well grounded, it's ridiculous. Your caption at 0:32 was spot on about not being able to see the power on film.

    These principles can be applied to a lot of styles but it seems that they fit in perfectly with the Southern Chinese/Hakka styles. A good majority of those styles seem very external, physical and reliant upon strength, but this has really turned my interpretation on it’s head.

    I can see why my two senior students were so impressed over 30 years ago when they first encountered this Method. Of course, they only witnessed the APPLICATION of the "non-physical" aspects but had not studied long enough to be exposed to those aspects of the Martial Arts, (the Internal methodology).
    We referred to this application as an "Invisible Tie", (as is sometimes taught in the study of Aikido), and it greatly enhances what we referred to as "Facilitating Compliance"
    Again, thank for posting information on this Method, and for showing the existence this type of "Hidden" knowledge . . .it's the only way that real knowledge can progress.

    • @THEMARTIALMAN

    • @johnnyb6049
      @johnnyb6049 5 років тому

      THE MARTIAL MAN,
      I taught to a closed door group of people for lot of years and the only way into the group was by invitation. Even then, what the person invited saw was controlled. I chose not to teach anything to a person of questionable character, (a bully), that would make it easier for them to harm someone.
      Although my view hasn't changed, I realized that many of the people I chose to teach were actually reasonably capable Fighters who had a Nature that made them much less likely to be a bully.
      I will email the Master of this school and offer some "insights" that he might add to his current store of knowledge if he is interested.
      I do not require any reciprocal response from the Master . . . but some feedback would be nice.
      Again, great work these posts
      Be Well

      I was lucky to train at some very good teachers. I learned the original Wing Chun, which uses the hip and round movements, like in Tai Chi. Ip Man wing chun is a simplefied form of the original system. Siu Lim Tau looks completely different, much more power. I also studied Ip Man wing chun for seven years before I learned this system.

It was not perfect and not elegant, but it was much simpler and more gentle than expected. It really didn't require much force.

    I did also wing chun for years and other MA...
    And yes you can win fights (i. E. With wing chun) against average aggressors - in my area many people know - and we have all kinds of very good MA instructors and Hools and so on here! You know?

    Explains how these skinny Kung Fu masters are capable of such feats as those for which they are renowned. They do not rely on physical strength, but rather these subtle energies.

    Great video. I have watched this more than once. I noticed the wing chun wooden dummy and I assume they have incorporated it for their own Five Ancestor and Wu Mei practice (unless they also teach wing chun)????

    It would be fun to train with these guys, and fun is the biggest motivator for most people because we are always big kids trying to be adults. So fun is our reward every time. Wu Mei must have been an incredible warrior. The amount of energy and deep thought the ancient Chinese put in to fighting techniques was incredible; way way deeper than what westerners did, which is nothing relatively. The Chinese went beyond scientific to finding methods that they couldn't explain. Imagine how much trial and error was involved over centuries. Their power was in numbers. If you have millions trying different things, the odds are way higher that they will be able to conquer the ones with only thousands. It's also the mentality. The western mind needs logical explanations, so we miss the boat. The Chinese found things that worked so who needs an explanation. The search for an explanation came later. Think that the Chinese discovered things before having any clue what or how or why. That's why they are way way way ahead. The westerners laugh at them because they don't understand but the Chinese are much stronger because of their leaps of faith. They discovered ways to beat someone much stronger than themselves, while the brute strength westerners continued to find better ways to increase their brute strength. So now a skinny short Chinese guy can destroy a big strong westerner using methods discovered by trial and error on top of science. That's why they say it's a cultural thing. Westerners think it's not real because it's totally against their way of thinking, so they continue boxing. The mma world realized that boxing is only a small component of fighting so they brought things like Jiu jitsu into their way of fighting. Next is the internal arts and the smart ones will take a chance and learn one of those arts to enhance what they already can do well and defeat everyone. I am waiting for the first successful internal practitioner to fight in mma. The guys who run mma today will not like internal guys because of how easily they will destroy everyone else. At first, fights will last 2 minutes, which will not be fun for the fans. A great fight now is the one where both fighters last long by connecting with many strikes and being able to continue despite being hit many times. So the worse the 2 fighers look at the end of the fight, the better the fight is considered. A great internal guy will end the fight quickly, not being hit more than once. But imagine 2 great fighters with great brute strength AND both good with internal techniques. That would be a great thing to see. That would be real explosive power against real power. It will take a big change in mindset for fighters and fans. The fans will have to learn about what they are watching or it will make no sense and they will think it's bull and not pay to see more. Fighting arts will start evolving much faster soon after the first mma fighter with internal skills shows how great his abilities are. Then weight will lose advantage for awhile until they all use internal methods. It is cool because fighting on the street will decrease. The reason is tbat the big strong bullies will think twice before risking that their small skinny target has internal skills. The internal masters are usually more spiritual and meditate to improve tbeir relaxation, giving them more depth of character and reduce ego. Of course there is no perfection. We can only hope for improvement. Have fun and please excuse my long winded comment. I had a lot to say but I tend to go on and on. I just hope there was at least a bit of wisdom and worthwhile info in what I said. I am very curious to know what people think of what I wrote.

    My teacher used to use a similar touch at times. One time he reached across the dinner table at a cafe to demo a point...he used his single finger to close my ear opening by pressing the tissue over my ear canal opening (I don’t know what it’s called). It stunned me. I froze. I’ll never forget it.
