Looks terrible. If they wanted to put up fences they could've at least chosen some better looking materials. Awful.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

Hey guys I've heard a lot of good things about "A Shaolin Monastery's Compendium of Pugilism" by Shi Yongxin, a lot of it in different threads on this very forum.

I'd be very interested to know:...

Hey whats the background on Shaolin Chaoyang Quan? Just curious.

Brad Riddell vs Yi Long

The shakes, you got any idea what they put in that stuff to make it so frothy? Dude. If you're gonna eat McD's you just gotta do what the rest of us do: accept it for what it is and focus on the fact...

That's Jaime Koeppe not Gina Carano.

Incredible.

Never met him but I hear Sifu Cheng Kam Yan's got the goods.

Shaolin Chan Wu Yi

Multiples of 9 feature strongly in Chinese Martial arts due to the importance of 9 in Chinese philosophical thought. 36, 72, 108 all numbers you'll see constantly in Chinese martial arts.

But the other guy crouched repeatedly in the build up to the fight. Surely that was a clue that he wouldn't mind attacking him at the waist, which is precisely what happened? If your opponent threw...

That was my first thought. The fight was bizarre. Pre-bell the Wing Chun player holds a rigid goat stance for minutes and then as soon as the bell goes he tosses that out of the window and goes...

Battle for the Soul of Kung Fu: In the shadow of China’s legendary Shaolin Temple, a kung fu master’s disciples confront the changing world of martial arts

Its self defence if in a court of law you can prove a) you didn't start it b) you felt in genuine fear for your life and c) you acted as any reasonable individual would do in your circumstances as...

I've never had the experience of a shop attendant slapping me in the face. In that instance actually there's no need to fight you can just threaten legal action. Its a lot tidier than fighting and...

Basically everything that needs to be said is said here. If its about to kick off you make sure you got one thing in mind: Living. In the moment when a fight is about to start there's no room for any...

Were his feet parallel or turned outwards in Ma Bu? :p

Over my time spent flirting with martial arts I have become increasingly puzzled by claims of being "authentic" between persons of ability: When two people who clearly know stuff argue about what...

The dive at 3:55 made my day

How have I not seen this video before? The excitable lady just adds to the comedy of the situation with her commentary about "unacceptable" violence. :D Oh dear poor Kung fu guy. I've said it before...

Serendipity...

Xingyiquan by Feng Zheng-bao

In the partner exercises shown here by Feng you see a lot more of the mechanics he blitzes through elsewhere. Top quality Xingyi.

I think in Su's five elements you can see him very gently tightening his fists and then relaxing them again. I have never met Su Dong Chen but to my eyes the key components of timing, posture,...

I like Su Dong Chen's Xingyi. From the clips I've seen of him Su's pedagogical method seems to be to make everything he's doing as obvious to his students so they understand it. Its easy seeing from...
