how many schools from this forum train their elbows and knee's, but i'm not talking about a few drills, but really evolve the usage and training of our knee's and elbows?

They train elbows & knees at sifu Edmund Ng's school.
How are you evolving the training and usage of your knees and elbows other than by drilling them

that's good!
I feel our knee's and elbows are one of the least spoken about weapons within the Choy Lee Fut style.

because i know from my own experience that most TCMA schools have neglected training these weapons.......maybe out of fear of being called "copy cats" to that of Muay Thai.
and let's not forget, we as kung fu people have a bad rap for NOT using pad work, drilling and such......and there are some of those fools who have proven the "TCMA" haters right.
but adding in drills, applications, and whatever you feel you can to fully develop something that was soooooo neglected for so long, is to me "EVOLUTION"
So again, if your school has never really focused on pad work, bag work, or any other contact type drills, and now you do focus on it.........THAT RIGHT THERE......is EVOLUTION!
if you have never done something in your school but are now trying it out for the first time, That is "Evolution"............discovering.......manipulat ing.......modifying.......learning........MR. BEN GASH.......is EVOLUTION!!!!!!

and to tell you the truth, so far up until this point, the only CLF i've ever seen using their elbows and knee's in any way is in the movie who am i- jackie chan.
Chop Choys, spinning back fists, sow choys, upper cuts.......
that's all i've ever seen people use in fights.
but i could be wrong......its just my own experience.

Elbows aren't allowed in most competitions.Chop Choys, spinning back fists, sow choys, upper cuts.......
that's all i've ever seen people use in fights.

At the Ng Family Chinese Martial Arts Association www.ngfamilymartialarts.com elbows and knees are trained.
I train them even more heavily at my school www.hungsingchoylayfut.com and go as far as using elbows in sparring

shaolin Dynasty,
sorry man, i wasn't referring to competition.
i ALWAY focus our training primarily for the streets. Sports come secondary in my book.
and you effort in that gets much respect.
and i was just checking to make sure our clf brothers are on point with having a full array of weaponry. thats all.

MR. BEN GASH.

and to answer your question to why wouldn't I?
because my school was soooooo old school that that kind of training was unheard of.
But that has changed in regards to what and how i train and teach MY students.
and, before you pop off at the gums, your public information says you got 13 years......well.....i've been at this for almost 30 years now.
i know i know what i'm talking about.

How can you work close range (inner gate) without training knees and elbows. Of course you really won't see much of this used in any kind of tournament venue becuase knees and elbows are almost always illegal. Most schools work both knees and elbows in various pad drills, maybe not just as much as some of the longer range attacks since classes are generally made up of beginners for the most part. Even so beginners should at least be exposed to knees and elbows.
I deal with a lot of people from the Muay Thai world, I of course have a lot of students who have done some Muay Thai... I will state in this thread what I have stated to them and the world in general about a million times before
Do you really think the Chinese people walked around for close to 5000 years without ever noticing those hard, pointy objects attached to their arms and legs? Do you really think any martial arts could exist that doesn't use the elbows and knees?
CLFNOLE,
MOST people train for tournaments. We've never really liked them. I don't like judges telling me what i can and cannot use against my opponent to win.
I always keep my training for the streets, where you can use elbows and knee's. as a street fighter i already knew how to use them......but in the initial stages of our training, pad work was never really used. we fought. we learned.........
so i can't speak about the sports aspect of martial arts......that's not what i'm in it for.
and the use of elbows and knee's really came into focus with MMA. so now martial arts schools (tma) are beginning to pick up that type of training.
