- In today's episode we visit Wang Zhong Ren in a suburb just outside of Dengfeng aptly named The Shaolin Block. Wang Zhong Ren explains the key principles of Shaolin Kung Fu, such as Six Harmonies, Four Extremities and more.
In this series, I visit the Shaolin Temple, and seek out masters of the old styles of Shaolin Kung Fu in Dengfeng and the villages in the surrounding mountains. I'm teaming up with Tomas from Real Shaolin Legacy and Joel from Shaolin Xinyiba, so check out their channels below too.

Thank you very much! Please keep up the excelent job.
Perhaps you have not yet realized the great contribution you are making to all martial artists in the world. This knowledge was only available to those who were the favorite students of great masters. Only with years of practice, sacrifice and fidelity could they be initiated on it.
I hope that everyone who watches these videos grasps the 10% of what this means ....
Thank you very much again!
Thanks a lot! My hope is to have a platform that the lesser known teachers can gain some exposure and become more accessible to the non-Chinese speaking world. People say there’s no Kung Fu left in China, but the truth is most just don’t know how to look
this series doesn't have nearly enough attention. Great piece
Thanks a lot! Tbh im happy with the small audience, as Id rather have people with a genuine interest following
Thanks alot!! For covering this style . I have been researching about it since last 3 years but i only found the theoretical knowledge . Thanks alot , again. Amituofo.
glad you found it useful. there's 3 more episodes to go up still
Your Hu Zhengsheng footage is my favorite. But this video ive watched so many times its crazy. So much foundation here.
the young spirit can learning from good masters in shaolin area...Congratulations friends , greetings!!
This was super useful for understanding of their description of open door and closed door. I learned this form and was super confused by the “open closed door” thing that my teacher kept saying like I should understand. Circling around the topic of how similar and also how different these arts were 90+ years ago is super interesting.
Great videos I love seeing this stuff.
Glad the explanation was useful. I think watching this video before Cui Zhong Wu’s is probably helpful actually as the explanations are clearer here. Cui sort of expects you to know what he is refering to
Monkey Wang Zhou Ren also is way more composed and formal. Cui Zhong was way more interested in showing the spirit (and mixing it up). There are so many little things that once they all get put together you get a clear understanding.
There’s also the situation where I was told a lot of the stuff but would miss the significance while I was trying to translate. These interviews are great I love listening to them and learning.
Yea, its interesting seeing the different personalities and teaching styles. Then you have a younger teacher like Hu Zheng Sheng too
Thanks for sharing! Have an awesome day!
Priceless series. Keep up the good work
Wow, Master Wang Zong Ren!!!!!
thanks for this man :) awesome series!
Expansion and contraction ... spirals. ..protecting the centerline and rooting in motion while maintaining the structure (ridegepole)...
I belive the name of the master is Wang Zongren 王宗仁
12:27 We have that exact same move in Chen Tai Chi!
Many martial arts historians believe that a whole lot of Taijiquan originated from Shaolin, so it's not that surprising to see a familiar move.
Hell, even the names of Chen Style moves are incredibly Shaolin-like... I'm currently of the belief that Shaolin, Taiji and Xingyi all share a common origin.
@@MonkeyStealsPeach The Shaolin-Taiji connection hypothesis was already put forward by Tang Hao in the last century, so the idea has been around for a while. You can't also exclude Chang Naizhou's writings and martial arts that not only drew from Shaolin, but likely also influenced the development internal theory in Taiji.
I could die a happy man if you did a video on Chang Family Boxing. 😉
If I go back to Henan I will definitely try to cover Chang Jia Quan, Wang Bao Qiang, and some rare styles of Pao Quan and Tongbei.... there’s so many old styles there that help draw lines between contemporary styles
I think that Shaolin, Chen style and Xingyi definitely draw from the same materials. But of course they are all relatively new, so I don't think that it would be right to say, Chen style was influenced by Shaolin style for example. Rather they were all formulated in relative proximity drawing on the same theories, techniques and origins.
He really hit that woah on the Thumbnail 😂😂😂😂
Did the master maybe explain more about seven start stance & "double closing the iron door" and its applications? I am trying to decipher the first move of the form but have hard time finding any rational materials anywhere.
No he didn’t show much application really
Double closing the iron door just means closing the openings to the opponent. Similar to “chop fa” in southern styles. Simultaneously defend upper and middle gates or “doors”
Rewatching this now, I can't help but to see the similarities to the Xinyi/Xingyi/Xinyi Liuhe styles. Where could the connection be? The most obvious might be Xinyiba, but then I think Xinyiba doesn't feature the Chicken steps, do they? Does anyone have some hints for researching this style's historical development?
Xinyiba does do chicken step
@UCnWbYukwGkgW3W1PBVfWEMA I practice some bits of Dai Xinyi from Wang Yinghai, because my teacher's teacher was a student in Che Xingyi as well as Dai Xinyi. So I'm aware of the link between those. I'm just wondering about how Shaolin Qixing Quan relates to it. Really interesting topic! Thanks for sparking my interest.
The main requirements of Qixing Quan are chicken steps, dragon waist, bear shoulders and tiger head... sound familiar?
@@MonkeyStealsPeach That's interesting, good to know!
@@MonkeyStealsPeach Hmm, I think I've heard that somewhere 🤔😂
What is the name of Master zhongren style? Is it qi xing quan?
The Sifu displays some elements of the elementary Shaolin Kung Fu form "Qi Xing" or "The Seven Stars". The movements remind me the rooster ( not only the footwork but the movements of the hands also feel like wings ). You can find this form as a detailed tutorial ( and many others ) at the UA-cam channel : Shaolin Kung Fu.
