Thanks to Sifu Rob Lopez for making video possible!
What should I try next? If you like this video, please help me to share it!
Maybe some Western boxing or wrestling. Or Korean arts like Taekwondo or Hapkido.
Mantis.
Bajiquan, please!
I would love to hear your opinion about full contact karate styles like Ashihara or Enshin.
I know you know Wing Chun but I'd like to see you come here to Guangzhou and have a look at Mai Gei Wong Wing Chun Keun.
Finally!!!! Hung ga getting some recognition
I love it!
Yep !
i was waiting for this too!
My kung fu school studies hung gar and I wanted to see something like this for a very long time.
Thank you
@@hinoki.mp4173anime fans practice kung fu???
It's one of the most popular styles.
As someone who has a background in Hung Ga, really appreciated this. Smiled at Sifu Paul’s demonstrations. Like in any other martial art, Hung Ga’s techniques have so many applications under the surface. So much can be done with one technique! Great bits of history in here too. Thanks Kevin and Sifu Paul 😁👍!
Thank you so much for watching!
Yeah, i wondered in the movie Martial Club (1981) the master gordon liu was explaining a bit different
Thanks Kevin, I loved this video, very good information, chinese styles ever sorpraise me. 🙏👍
Very impressive!
His Chinese Cantonese pronunciation is pretty good too
Paul's cantonese is on point
Yes!! He was talking to me in Cantonese and I was so shocked! Haha
Sifu Paul definitely invited to dim sum. Actually scratch that. He'd probably be taking us out instead
The NYC Canto is comforting.
I was thinking the same, suddenly beginning to talk to Kevin in Cantonese so he can understand better, wonder if it helped. Maybe for him to look it up? Or cause wing chun shares expressions?
@@KevinLeeVlogrelease that footage!
This brought me to tears almost - my whole life I have dedicated myself to these arts..... i am 42 now and I don't have students any more because of life's turns etc and changes.... but i wish i did.... sharing the knowledge is so important to me.... it is dying in this brain dead modern world... i mix wing chun with some crane, tiger and some taiji..... those 4 make my sytem
The video is beautiful in rich knowledge and those who know - know
@@RICHARDCLARKNINJA you're young. Make a new tomorrow. The past is beautiful building blocks.
yeah, Jeet Kune Do Wednesday Night Group is not this well known anymore either, although they were once an official school by bruce lee. With time things are fading, thats the way of life.
Personally I think baji quan is such a great kung fu style, close range, closes distance easily, defends well and attacks well with elbows. That plus Muay Thai and Yaw Yan and a little karate make up my kickboxing style
Train me
I enjoyed this video very much. I learned Wing Chun and Hung Gar together back in the day. My original intention was to learn Wing Chun but I appreciated Hung Gar a lot more. The forms within Hung Gar made me feel physically stronger through dynamic tension. Sifu Paul's application of the techniques were the ones that I had learned as well through my Sifu. In short, this video brought back a lot of good memories. All the best to the Southern Gong Fu styles; Wing Chun, Hung Gar, Bak Mei, etc.!
@@Zen-OhsMethod that’s awesome! Thank you for watching!
A really underrated skill that Kevin has is how good an Uke he is. He doesn't overreact to what's being demonstrated and make it silly, but he also feeds techniques clearly and logically that works with the demonstrator's flow.
@@obiwanquixote8423 thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Always nice to see Sifu Paul Koh! More with him, please!
Noted!
This video was F I R E E E E. As a New York Native and JKD student, I will definitely be seeing Paul Koh!
@@RafaelPerez3rd please say hi him for me when you go see him!
I've trained in different martial arts for 50+ years and Hung Gar is the one I'm most passionate about. I loved it for its power and practicality in combat. Excellent explanation by Paul Koh Sifu.
Grate video! This teacher was explaining real Hung Gar, real Kung Fu. Whenever, fell free to make a video of Choy Lee Fut. It’s is my style. Thank you
That's amazing.
It's been ages since I saw materials about traditional styles, not MMA/BJJ gyms.
Also usually it was about karate mostly while here I can finally learn more about Chinese martial arts. Hope there will be more of such content here.
The west has a bias towards karate, samurai, ninjas, anime, etc. xiu xiaodong beating old "masters" didnt help.
Not against karate as well.
But there is a lack of materials about traditional karate, aiki-jutsu or vast number of Chinese and Korean arts. Instead everyone is checking MMA/BJJ gyms.
This channel is awesome due to Kevin shows how mysterious art (which we've get grasp of from 80's and 90's movies) actually work and explained by interesting masters.
This was a great video and Sifu explained the style very well!
This was very insightful and the knowledge spoken here was very valuable. Also, loved how Sifu used the Chinese terms when explaining his technique. As a WC practitioner myself to hear more about the other Southern Chinese systems sharing the space historical space is amazing.
Well said!
I agree. I like Sifu Paul's Cantonese!
Thank you very much!
Love this video! It’s great to see the crane and tiger combined and I see this in my own Goju Ryu Karate
Thank you!!
I used to learn hung gar in Brooklyn. 1983-85 by a sifu named Mike Duncan. And he at times demolished ppl in street fighting. Very disciplined and aggressive style
Finally seeing a decent application for crane. Im still iffy on using a crane back fist because of the tilt of the wrist hitting something. That could just be my flimsy wrists though 😂. Great video kevin!
Classic Kung Fu is very different explained by someone who understand his style. Thanks for sharing.
It's nice to see Sifu Paul Koh. His tiger style is really something incredible. His tiger style looks very cool. A real master
Thank you so much, sir
Sifu Paul is a great teacher! There was so many other concepts that weren't explained too like chum (sinking) to generate power and 12 bridges, it's a deep system. Been doing Hung Gar for decades, love it.
This was awesome! I have always respected Hung Ga! Amazing system!
@@winddragonmma me too! Thank you for watching!
Appreciate you sharing Sifu Koh's knowledge and expertise. Nice to see Hung Gar getting some recognition.
I've so much respect for this style. Thank you for providing this gem of an interview.
@@garasham thank you!!
This shit is not practical in real street fights. I’ve seen many so called kung fu masters get their asses kicked by trained boxers and/wrestlers/BJJ guys.
It is just pretty forms. It is a martial art made for the movies. 8:23
Great video !!! I have known Sifu Paul for a long time and he is the real deal !!! His kung fu and techniques are among the best in NYC. Total Respect !!!
Thank you so much, brother
I started learning Hung Gar Kuen when I was 10yo in a small village ouyosde of Yuen Long in HK. Absolutely delighted to have Hung Kuen covered here.
I'm primarily a Southeast Asian martial artist and I've only done Shuai jiao of the Chinese system.
So I encountered a lot of different styles of Kung Fu in Chicago.
Hun Gar impressed me because it all stems from a frame system that reminds me of my own style.
Glad to see it get some love
Koh Laoshi has a serious Hung Gar physique. Respect.
Are you aging in reverse, Kevin? You're looking a lot younger for whatever reason.
Thanks for the video. The Chinese martial arts look the coolest to me. I can't learn any where I live but I can enjoy them in this way.
Hahahah I wish!! It’s probably the lighting that’s making me look younger 🤣🤣
That was a great video.....Sifu Paul has a great knowledge and application is obvious....he also seems like a genuine and humble person...great to see they are still out there
Thank you so much
2:30 this insanely similar to the crane in Wingchun, at least the version i know. amazing to see its application so clearly demonstrated here, thanks you both for this excellent video!!
Well done Koh-Sifu! And gratitude Lopez-Sifu and Kevin Lee-Sifu for making this possible and available.
SIFU LOPEZ WITH THE HOOK UP!!! LETS GO!!!
He’s my sifu’s sifu, and honestly the scariest guy to cross hands with.
🙏
Where was Sifu Lopez in the video?
@@ewo4365only named, though he is a cool and funny guy.
@@yourdaisihing4715 I would love to meet him one day!
@@ewo4365 he wasn’t. But he introduced me to all the teachers in this video.
Very interesting video! :) I love learning about all these different Kung Fu Systems and see how they apply parts of the forms. Great Work Kevin!
Absolutely Fantastic break down of Vital detail, Loved the Cantonese terms, Thank you! Ging Lai!
Good job Kevin. Bo Law Kung Fu school has been in NYC for a long time. One of the last big kung fu schools in the city.
Yes! His teacher is a great friend Of Sifu Chiu Chi Ling too! Great people!
That's so much information in one video!
The most important thing I have picked up from this video: the particular "shapes" or "frames" or postures of Chinese styles are moments in time, crystalized into a position. This trains the body to become familiar with these postures, so that when you are moving combatively, your newly trained instincts are connected to these postures, frames, shapes, whathaveyou.
The "classical" approach is to train the body (with the proper mindset) to move within these frames and shapes, so the in betweens have the structure and proper tools naturally coming into existence then fading again into other tools and structures that were trained as well.
All of that so that when we decide to move to protect ourselves or those we love, we only need to move with the mindset developed during training in order for those movements to come out.
This seems to be similar to how boxers train after a while. They will learn to move within the frames of several punches, where the body likely needs to be to "not be hit", and a defensive position/tactic like the Philly Shell or Peak-a-Boo Style to maximize the effectiveness of the prior points. Then, eventually, they play with the possibilities within those "limits".
So cool.
Sifu's canto is better than mine lol
Better than mine too 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This system continues to amaze me. There’s a certain animism and spirit that infuses the southern Chinese systems that makes that fighting flavor unique. Thanks for sharing.
Next time we will talk about the Iron Ring Training!
I really enjoyed this video. It’s rare to find a Sifu who understands and can explain the applications of Hung Gar.
A very good explanation and deep insight of that System. It impressed me very much.
When I started practicing Northen shaolin there was no material online about Kung Fu, now thanks to your hard work (and some others) that is changing. I'm still in my early Hung Gar years and I love it, both Hung Gar and Wing Chun have similarities and I've found some interesting bits of history, Chi Sin taught Hung Hei-gun & Luk Ah-choi and also was seen teaching the wing chun system, which explains some of the similarities.
Something I like a lot is dynamic tension, which is present in Hung Gar (Iron Wire) and also in Shaolin (I chin ching), very good for muscle and tendon strenght.
On a side note, my father who didn't practice martial arts, introduced me to dynamic tension via Charles Atlas.
Keep doing this great work Kevin, not only we kung fu nerds love it, but its good to get more people into Kung Fu and keeping all it's systems alive! Thank you!!
PS. I'd love to see some long fist styles!
Dude, you make some highly informative and entertaining content. Great stuff.
Thank you so much!!!
This sifu is quite knowledgeable, respect!
Thank you so much
How fascinating. Thanks, Kevin Lee.
Good to see and hear from Sifu
Great video. I love the rediscovery of practicality in the classical forms. Jesse Enkamp does that so well for karate and you do it even better for kung fu.
Tiger and crane mix seamlessly together! As a Hung Ga practitioner, I believe the "flying crane" technique he shows is one of the most diverse and applicable techniques I have learned. So many ways to use it. Thank you for this video!
It would be cool to also showcase the leopard and snake aspects of Hung Ga as well. Very beautiful and devastating techniques contained in those animals. Especially in the leopard, it does not get talked about enough and seems to be almost completely lost outside of Hung Ga and Choy Lay Fut. Looking forward to more videos!
@@nicolascordoba4922 there are so much to talk about in Hung Gar! Hopefully I can feature more in the future videos!
Great stuff 👍
I've been involved in Kempo for just over 50 years but would still consider learning Hung Gar.
Thanks for such an in-depth look at Hung Gar. I’ve heard of it all my life and met a couple practitioners, but never had a chance to sit down and compare notes.
@@davidyoung745 there will be more in the future!!
Always entertaining and educational, great vid ❤
Glad you enjoyed!
Wow a true Sifu right there watch it again a lifetime of Kung Fu has turned that man hands into truly legitimate deadly weapons
Thank you 🙏
I really enjoyed this one, great teaching. The cross over from what was being taught is very similar to wing chun which is fascinating to see
When say real kung fu this is it.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much
This man is a treasure
Thank you 🙏
Very nice, thank you. Makes me want to get back into training after studying Shaolin Hung Fut many years ago.
Really liked the APPLICATIONs finally being shown of kung fu styles. Next I’d like to watch these guys spar as I think they know how to apply in live movement.
Thanks so much! We have quite a few application videos available as well of various techniques.
I thoroughly enjoyed this particular video. HIs knowledge was deep and explanation was enlightening.
This is good. I would like to see more of these Kung Fu styles in focus.
the info in the video is so high quality! amazing i didn't know nyc has such a treasure! now i feel like i need to learn from sifu lopez and jeff chen!
is there more hung gar content??
🙏 thank you
Great video 🙏 🔥
That elbow-tear-finger jab technique was so smooth. I gotta practice that!
This is a great video, I really enjoyed watching this. Respect from a bloke living in Guangzhou, China who has studied Wing Chun. I think you and my Sifu would make for a great video. A long way to travel though.
The Tiger is one of the foremost Animal Styles in Hung Gar Kung Fu.
Kevin, you should try to interview Hung Gar master Mark Houghton or his daughter Charlene in Hong Kong. Mark was a closed door disciple of Lau Gar Leung of Shaw Brothers fame! Charlene also has her own youtube channel. check it out!
@@Ed7501 I would love to! But traveling to HK would be tough for me at the moment 😅😅
Good teacher. Very fluent and deep. 🙏
Thank you 🙏
DUDE! Kung Fu Hustle is a great movie! So cool you got to meet that master!
@@BMO_Creative one of my favorite movies! Thank you for watching!!
Great stuff!
Another great video showing the qualities of another style. Cool to see the applications and principles as always in your vids!
Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Kevin this was a good video with good information.
Thank you for watching!!
Koh is moving fluid like a kali guy! Awesome 🎉
TAKING PRIDE IN LEARNING THIS STYLE❤🎉
This was a truly beautiful explanation and lesson of the Methodology of the Techniques within the Fighting Style. 🙏🙏
@@UnexpectedWonder thank you!!
@@KevinLeeVlog De nada. No problemo! 👊👊✊✊👏👏👌👌
Hi! Nice job! If you really want to know about the origins of Hung Ga, you will have to find Yang Jianchi sifu. He is from the direct lineage of the founder of the system. Wong Fei-hung Hung Ga is "modern Hung Ga." Other older lineages led to what Wong Feihung amalgamated into this particular lineage. Also, a group in Vietnam's Chinese community teaches the original lineage of Hung Ga as well. I am a Hungfut practitioner and historian of Chinese martial arts. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.
Kevin, it´s time for Foshan Pak Mei ! Great video by the way
Surprised we haven't seen futsan pak mei yet with the popularity of Sifu.
@@zetareticulan321 Exactly, there is little content of people having contact with the martial art. I think the big problem is the distance, the only masters i know are in France and Argentin ( out of China ).
Bajiquan would be considered Hung-Gar’s northern comparison and I like learning about all TCMAs.
Thanks for this, Kevin
You met my Bajiquan Sifu and I cannot wait to see your experience with him
That would be lovely if these two styles to combine for combat effectiveness😊.
Correct but tbf, Bajiquan focuses way more on grappling.
I believe that Hung Ga's roots are also grappling, but it's practitioners don't really do a lot of that
@@jestfullgremblim8002 yep. You’re right! Grappling, takedowns, elbows and low stances
@@camiloiribarren1450 i mean, most of Kunf Fu actully comes from grappling and weapons rather than unarmed striking.
I'm not saying that they did not have striking, but it usually wasn't their main thing
Chiu Chi Ling Legend More of HIM✨🙏
B E A U T I F U L ! ☼
Rob is great, interview Sharif Bey if you want to see the fascial connection and larger circles that make it unblockable.
Great , he explain the actual application and history. Besides he speak good Cantonese too. Hung ka is a representative of 南少林 it is most popular in the older days in South Asia.
This is Great stuff great explanations and applications, most of us did not know
WOW thx a lot very good video and well explained 🔥💪..gives me a boost to get back to training Hung gar ❤🙏 thank You Sifu Paul great demonstrations of the various applications that one can do in real life 👍👍✌️🔥💪
Thank you so much
Thank you very much & love from Bangladesh ❤❤
I did Hung Kuen at University. My favorite style was tiger form. I found it a very effective fighting system, I now also do Judo and combine the 2 when participating in MMA fights.
hung kuen is a little too low and slow for mma, needs alot of modification for it to be used in combat sports
@@1003willy It provides a solid base for my striking game. More often than not I end up suing a judo throw and submission to win.
You just crossed hands with a legend!
Koh Sifu! Is the MAN 🔥🫡been doing Hung Kuen, since 1975 😬
Good job, Kevin! Looking forward to seeing Choy Li Fut on the next or future video. Thanks man!
Hung gar, wing chun, baji , xing yi , Choi li fut and dragon style kung fu are probably the most effective styles of kung fu in my opinion
I agree, and fat san pak mei
There are hundreds of styles how many do you relly know?!
@@Gieszkanne I started practicing martial arts in 1994, I have many friends belonging to various systems, logically one can only compare based on what one knows, and clearly it is impossible to know everything
i think tai ji is the strongest but probably less than 100 alive people know it. that means even most taiji teachers don't know it. So just going by odds, it's north worth pursuing. but whoever is the bet taiji player on earth at a given time is probably the best empty hand martial artist in their weight/size category.
Hey Kevin I've been watching your videos for a while And I appreciate your inquisitive dedication. There is always something to learn or take away.
I love this system of the tiger and crane, and I see similarities to wing Chun. 🙏
@@bruceblackthorne thank you!!!
Sifu Kevin is a wonderful exponent of the martial arts and we truly appreciate his dedication
Sifu Paul Cantonese pronunciation is 👍.
I like to that Choy Li Fut and Hung Gar are Wing Chuns older brothers. And that they have a cousin named Pak Mei who is a bad boy in the family.
The style used by all the old kung fu movie stunt men
сказочные теоретики восточных единоборств снова на канале. Фэнтезийные битвы и ментальные удары в действии.
Kohl is a master in fu jow pai. It builds on Hung Gar . I believe the flow better than other Hung Gar artists, but couldn't achieve this without the base of Hung Gar
I really love your content.
I really like the movements.🥋👍
Nice job, Kevin.
Quality content
Thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you 🙏
So glad that martial artists are really documenting knowledge. The difference between some styles is methods of training, which poses or actions are primary, how they prefer to deliver power. There aren't really secret moves. It all looks the same because we have the same biology and laws of physics. But the difference in flavor between hung gar, xingyi and bagua should be studied and shared.
Sifu Paul Koh is the real deal!
Yes he is!!
Thank you
