Kung Fu with sports gear

[Eddie]

this is a form using a golf club. It has some spear, saber, tiger hooks, even chain whip type moves in it. Very entertaining

That reminds me of SPL. I remember IKF ran an article on how tai chi would improve your golf game many years ago. We need to make forms for all the sports clubs - baseball bats, hockey sticks, croquet mallets, heck I'd love to see a skateboard form that had a good kung fu foundation. Funny stuff. Good to see some people pushing the edge of the envelope with this kind of stuff.

nice!!!!!

but seems like the golf club would break.

[gwa sow]

skateboard could be used in bench forms

[Mano Mano]

There’s a little damo in there as well.

I would make up a form using my favorite sport, but it would require drugs,booze, a hot bebe, and a bathroom stall.

Looking forward to seeing it on youtube already.

It was just swing-your-skateboard-around stuff - nothing like a form like this one. More of a self defense trip than martial arts. There was a movement just prior to the Cultural Revolution which developed forms from commonplace items like sledgehammers and sickles, not unlike the Okinawan farm weapons. There's actually quite a bit of this sort of stuff in PRC, especially in the folk styles. I even have a book on commonplace items as weapons - stuff like benches, chairs, yokes, etc - plus the stuff in Deqian's Shaolin encyclopedia (chopstick and bowl, brooms, fans, shoes, et. al.) It's ironic to see sporting equipment. Perhaps that's the benefit of contemporary leisure time.

if there ever were a form that incorporates hockey sticks they would have to include the technique where you grab the back of your opponents jersey and pull it over his head and then uppercut him. that would be rad. i love the hockey punch.

That was almost as cool, but not as deadly as my momma's double wooden spoon form!

It's a slow newsfeed day on the web.

BusinessWire · Tuesday, Jul. 13, 2010

Ryan White, black belt martial artist, golfer, and certified fitness consultant, has today released his groundbreaking fitness DVD, entitled Black Belt Golf: White Belt Lesson. White spent the last 10 years putting together this power training program designed to transpose secret martial arts training techniques to boost the power in your golf game to stratospheric heights. In the White Belt Lesson, the complete DVD experience provides audiences with guided meditations to get in the game, warm-up, stretches, and secret black belt golf moves that increase stamina and power for the golf course afterwards.

“As a multi-sports athlete, I have found Ryan’s training system to be extremely helpful! Not only has Ryan’s training helped me improve my speed, flexibility, and endurance, but it also has increased the power of my kicks,” said Cole Fipps, soccer, track and field athlete. “I highly recommend Ryan’s program to anyone who is serious about improving their performance.”

Black Belt Golf:White Belt Lesson’s ultimate goal is to increase power. By combining and concentrating the agility of martial art techniques and athleticism of golf, this program is designed as the ultimate next step to boost your game. These exercises were created for any individual interested in learning basic techniques in both sports. As a result, they may also become a better golfer, and more mindful athlete.

“I have never had results this dramatic, this quickly,” commented Seth Solomon, 3rd Degree Black Belt, Desert Martial Arts.

Taijiquan Hockey Stick Form (Part 2)

well...uh...I guess it's performance art. lol

there was no utility to the hockey stick motion, either as a weapon or as a hockey stick and a couple of portly fella doing some half arsed taichee whilst clutching a hockey stick....

I once saw a group of portly women who formed their own ballet club. They were utterly terrible and looked like 10 pounds of sausage in a 5lb wrapper in their outfits and one or two of them were so big they need a three-three...

anyway, that "taichi" with a hockey stick thing reminded me of that.

silly.

a hockey stick is for two things.

1. whacking a puck

2. shoving someone into the boards
