Hung Sing Martial Arts Blog

[Shaolindynasty]

I started a blog a few days ago to helpe spread info and inspire my students in their training. The blog will cover topics from traditional aspects of Kung Fu and some fitness, training etc. I thought I'd share the posts here since they are relevant to some of the converstations here.

The topics covering martial arts practice are written from my perspective as a choy lay fut practitioner. Thats why I chose the southern section of the forum.

only 6 posts so far but i will update as I get more

Great posts! Very informative.

It's great to see articles like this that make Choy Lay Fut relatable on day-to-day training level, and how it is relevant today.

I appreciate the articles on history, culture, etc. - those are very useful and necessary, too. But your angle on methodology and best practices for today make it very tangible for people currently studying and practicing the art.

I've always appreciated articles that are committed to demystify and explain the process of learning and achieving success with Gung-Fu.

Thanks for this, I look forward to seeing more!

Nice spear training. I was noticing your thrusts and your lead hand was palm up. do you find that effective for you? sifu always taught us to have palm side facing down when we thrust our spears ...LOL. thrust. spears. i'm a hom sup.

i guess my question is, does doing it that way guide it along better? just a question.

I twist my hands. kinda like wringing out a cloth. When I finish the thrust my palm is angled downward but when I make contact sometimes I get stopped during the wringing motion so thats why it looks like palm up.

The wringing motion gives me a nice drilling effect on my thrust lol

Oh wait now i see it. you mean on the long thrust. My palms face inward towards each other. Angled downward but not completely more like diangonal
