10 Killing Hands

[TenTigers]

A lot of kung fu (including Wing Chun) is supposed to be that way - no going back and just dominating the opponent's space - but unfortunately, nowadays many schools do not practice in such manner. That is why it was refreshing to see sifu Yui's video clips.

that was my point. That is how Hung Kuen is supposed to be played. The trouble is, too many people don't teach it. I have seen so many "well-known "Masters" teach techniques that show the defender stepping back and blocking, sometimes up to three times, before launching a counter. Try doing that with a resisting opponent, trying to tear your head off. No Way.
In our Hung Kuen, we "attack the attack."

"the dead can't attack".

Sanjuro_Ronin,

No need to apologize; in fact, thank you for sharing.

I knew other martial artist could fill in the gaps with their own experience, which you did. Just because I didn't want to give all my techniques away doesn't mean no one else can share their knowledge

That's why I did this video on the results of the 10 Killing Hands as opposed to the usual name and application. Everyone can achieve these results with their own techniques from their own style; it just so happens that these are some that we teach at New York Hung Ga.

It makes sense. Going back (unless it is really an emergency and cannot be avoided) is not taught in the kung fu styles I am familiar with.

The trouble is, too many people don't teach it. I have seen so many "well-known "Masters" teach techniques that show the defender stepping back and blocking, sometimes up to three times, before launching a counter.

The problem is that the world is full of "well known masters". These well "well known masters" produce their fair share of students (sometimes with "decades" (LOL!) of experience) who are clueless about such basic TCMA approaches to combat and hence even more clueless about the deeper and more profound aspects such as the internals and their various dimensions.

Unfortunately, this does not stop these people from sharing their "wisdom" with the MA community and as a result the TCMAs are in the mess they are in now with pseudo kung fu-ists and glorified kickboxers holding the monopoly on what "good" kung fu practice is supposed to entail.

Try doing that with a resisting opponent, trying to tear your head off. No Way.
In our Hung Kuen, we "attack the attack."

And that is real kung fu.

So again it is good to see video clips of authentic kung fu methodology.

It seemed very much like a "Hasayfu leopard" fist actually...

I heard that fist shape being called a tigers paw in my line. It comes crashing down with the fore knuckles to the side of the face. Temple, eyes, ears, jaw take your pick. I love that move.

Conditioned fore knuckles are a must!

Good video Sifu Yui. Looking forward to seeing more clips.

Our school has that hand form as 'pao choy' (leopard fist not uppercut)
