CKF Application Clips.

I mentioned "Bak Siu Lam" or Northern Shaolin in Derek's thread.

Well this is one of their forms; Cross Battle Fist.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_ILMRctJQA

An old form that also became part of Jin Woo's training.

Eric,

My late sifu Cho Hong-Choy has Guok Gar friend, My instructor of Kyokushin in Penang is from Guok Gar family.....etc

IMHO, Guok Gar's art is different from WCK. the Power Generation DNA is different thus the applications technics also differents...

Hi Derek,

Again, you’re most welcome.

I actually got some more Zhou Jia footages taken during a Singapore competition held about 6 years ago. Those days I was shooting onto mini-tapes. Got to figure out how to digitalize them here in Sarawak.

Just acquired a full set of video editing software today and my first output is this slice of CLF clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL108-I-vlA

Enjoy.

Warmest Regards.

Eric

And now, the often discussed but seldom seen Northern Tai Zhu.

This form is called "Tai Zhu Zhang Quan" or "Tai Zhu Long Fist" performed by a Shaolin Monk.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZkQ5qp5nHw

Regards.

ps. I see many similar techniques in my Southern Tai Zhu....

Oookay back to my thing; White Crane.

Talked about this before; old Whooping Crane’s “Babulien” or “8 Linked Steps”.

Commonly known as the 2nd Sanchin or “SanZhan Er Lu” within the Minghe community.

I shot one of my White Crane teachers doing this some years back. Sifu Li Wen Shi is very old now and I try to visit him in Singapore every now and then.

He and my other teacher, the late Xia Mu Tai, are the 2 key teachers in my White Crane kung fu journey.

From Sifu Xia, I got all the forms and drills. Sifu Li, on the hand, brought my understanding of Whooping Crane to the next level.

Much of my Whooping Crane’s old history manuscripts and manuals are handed down to me via Sifu Li.

Regards…

Well continuing with my “thang” ; this time, Lohan Boxing.

I was taught at the very outset of my White Crane training that “Lohan” boxing played a significant role in the evolution of Whooping Crane.

But with a background in Shaolin Lohan, this concept was to me, at that point in time, a little hard to recognize.

Shaolin Lohan and Whooping Crane are as different as night and day as far as I was concerned.

Over the years, I’ve discovered that “Lohan” boxing took many diverse routes after leaving Shaolin walls assuming different shapes and forms.

In recent years, I found one line of Lohan that is particularly fascinating to me.

A mixture of Lohan principles and I-Ching and spawning a hard/soft adaptation.

The clip I got here is one of their Lohan forms; Da Louhon or Big Lohan.

This form is portraying one of the 18 Luohans; big and fat and supposedly clumsy in movements.

Just like in “druken” boxing; you appear drunk but not, here the idea is to appear inept but actually staying in full control.

Another obvious characteristic is their fa-jin; almost Tai Chi like in many ways.

Regards.

Hi everybody,

Got another CLF clip here.

Dragon form ....nice.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ty48iE7GLY8

[CLFNole]

I am not sure if that is the dragon form. I remember seeing this before and I thought this form had a different name.

Won't know exactly; I don't do CLF.

It did say "Dragon" on the disc sleeve.

Got another clip here; 2 Guok Gar application techniques.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uHtV-l7hLU

Hi everybody,

Read someplace in this forum “old Nan Quan” is more martial than the newer stuff.

Got a clip here that might just back that up ….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvKoonyyrOs

Now, crossing over to the internal styles; Chen Taiji.

Love the collection by this Sifu, very well-explained and he even includes the 7 characters fist poem that most folks don’t study these days.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZldU9ETBcw

Regards.

Hi Mr. Ling, hi everybody
I contributed one for my opionion very nice form of Chen Taiji called Thunder form

Hi pakhok,

I think you should include all your other youtube links; the various Cranes from mainland.

In fact, the "Long-limbed Crane" clip contain 2 forms.

The first, done by a monk, is a Wuzhu form. This monk should be from Quan Chou and I saw a couple of them here in Sarawak recently.

These guys are very powerful....

Also if you visit www.wulinijia.com, you'll find a very rare "Choy Mok" clip in the "free tour" section.

Regards.

[htowndragon]

do you have any tibetan white crane or hop ga clips?
