Interesting. If it's the same one Doc Fai Wong teaches, I can definitely see the connection.

That's so cool, I had no idea. Explains all the butterfly-palm type movements in Ark Wong's system
Is this Fut Gar?

So if I'm getting this straight.... the Shaolin Wuxingbafa is the ancestor of the modern day 5 Animal form, as found in CLF. How does the CLF version differ from the 5 Animals practiced by Ark Wong...
From what I've been able to gather, the Southern 5 Family style comes down from Ark Wong, who is said to have learned it from the "Chief Monk" of Canton. What I would like to know is, Is it basically...
Sorry, getting back to this kinda late. I was interested in the chui/mace connection as well as it is used in Hung Gar, Lohan etc. My guess is he took choy li fut, and renamed every swinging movement...
It must be Kenpo. Why else would it have such a wacky name.
I thought the swings at the end were deadass choylifut though. Then again Ed Parker cross-trained in just about everything.
I am trying to pinpoint where this form comes from. It was the very first form I ever learned. However, my sifu taught a hodgepodge of different forms and I never bothered to ask. so does it look...
And here it is.

Not sure if it's been posted, but there's a clip floating around of a 7-11 clerk using a Karate block and beating up a cholo who swung at him that's become sort of my life's inspiration.
"Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu" by Yang Jwing-Ming and "Rhythm and Power of Tantui" with Simmone Kuo are two long-time favorites.
I just want to know where that "side cannon" technique came from, or whatever the thing is called, double punch to the side that you see in Naihanchi/Tekki. Stretching the Bow perhaps? Also, there is...
There you go. That is the distinction I was trying to make.
The Hakka styles, mantis, etc always reminded me a lot of the Silat I've seen with regards to Triangle structure and centerline

Back in the dinosaur So. Shaolin days. I remember learning the prayer-hands thing where one palm shoots forward as the other retracts, brushing each other as they pass. sifu said it was like striking...
Good info, thanks
I dunno, fut gar looks pretty badass. Isn't that really just Luohan quan in a shiny spandex suit?
*sits back in lawn chair, cracks a hard lemonade and watches as...
18 Lohans? Going once... going twice....
Couple questions of my own...
Is the Fujian Luohan referenced here of any relation to the 18 Lohan southern system? It seems to be based on white crane, whereas the latter has more of a...
Speaking of Shotokan, came across this little gem online

If that doesn't have a Northern flavor, I don't know what does
Basic breakfalks from Judo have saved my a$$ more times than I'd care to count
I'm a clutz.
Being a traveling Kung Foo hobo, this article gets me... right here. :D
I'd be more worried about teaching them basic health qigong and nutritional advice tho.
Interesting... Monk Fist, as in Luohan? (or the Southern version thereof?) Would make a hell of a lot more sense if that's the case.....
I mean, it all originated from Damo anyway, rite?
...
Am trying to pinpoint which art, or cluster of arts went into the formation of the Shuri-te systems. Many of the movements bear a striking (pardon the pun) similarity to those found in Songshan...
Not old school like that, no. But still physically demanding. Holding postures for 20 counts, kicking drills up and down the room, etc I couldn't walk the next day, so
I must be doing it right. :D
It's fantastic. Going to have my plate full for the next couple years for sure.
Just nice to finally have a place to train and do my thing, away from the public eye. That's been a huge issue.
Yep
