New video from Chen Yong-Fa

[extrajoseph]

CYF has just put up some new video on his new website and youtube, you may find you do things differently to one of Chan Heung's direct descendants, but at least you can see and hear some of the names in Cantonese for the movements as passed down by the family.

Not bad for someone who is nearly 60, don't just look at him, look at his students, a teacher is defined by his students.

And he's not fat. Overweight teachers give HORRIBLE first impressions. How can one say an art gets them into shape when the one teaching is ginormous? This guy is a lean mean machine.

don't hate on the ginormous. it's a sign of insecurity

Kung Fu and Health
By Ho Ngau

Exercising is vital to blood circulation and general well-being. Inactivity on the other hand, may result in listlessness and poor health. There is a large variety of exercises and sports. For simplicity, Chinese Kung Fu martial art is outstanding in this respect.
Good health and self-defense go hand in hand with Kung Fu and its practice. In exercising, it needs neither a partner nor special installation, and can take place anywhere. Despite the many varying styles and systems, Kung Fu is never divorced from its principle aim; that is good health and self-defense.

My only preference has always been for Choy Lee Fut style as established by Chan Heung. Practicing is divided into internal and external methods. The items to exercise include footwork, boxing forms, weapons, sparring, wooden dummy techniques stage of stance=footwork and boxing form are as follows: (1) Ng Lun Ma (five wheel stances) commonly known as Jarp Ma, (2) Ng Lun Tsui (five wheel punches) commonly known as Che Kuen. The five wheel stances consist of the basic practical footwork of the style. The stances are further distinguished by the low and high stance.

Firstly, there is the See Ping Ma (square stance). And the footwork demands that the stance be maintained in the correct posture when advancing, retreating or turning to the left or right. The others are Tiu Ma (tip-toe stance), Chin See Ma (clinging stance), Lok Kwai Ma (kneeling stance) and Tu Tan Ma (pushing-plucking stance).

The threshold to the boxing forms is in achieving thoroughness in footwork. The Ng Lun Tsui are Kwa Tsui (reverse punch), So Tsui (sweeping punch), Charp Tsui (straight punch), Cheong Ngan Tsui (eye-aiming punch) and Lui Yum Tsui (groin-aiming punch). All these when combined with Ng Lun Ma is very effective in coordinating movements.

Che Kuen and Jarp Ma is another way of saying Ng Lun Tsui and Ng Lun Ma. except Che Kuen Jarp Ma is not so much a name but more of a description or verbs on how to do things. That is one Che Kuen and Jarp Ma while doing Ng Lun Tsui and Ng Lun Ma.

It's a sign of obesity, neither good for health nor self defense.
