law hon gung

A little late, shaolin form gun gou,from india . fighting cane set of all animal motion, been practicing this form for about 30 years,its pretty nasty,has mantis 3/4 stick,long blade fighting techs.

Merry Christmas everyone, and best wishes for a happy new year,from Farest Fighting Arts.

Zhong Gau I trained with Lau cheng (Shi Gong Cheng) in san fran,shi gong of seven animal style,on a side note,I dont think panther was ever a legitimate style on its own and most shaolin animals were mixed with other animal movements and noone of them were of pure animal styles on there own,tiger/crane or mantis/monkey which I disagree with,each animal has its own distinct way of moving which could confuse someone that may practice a style such as cobra or crane which have also been mixed in the past,not saying its wrong,just not of pure art style.

pentex facing the knee forward is a very vulnerable position,86 it and switch to a wu chi,when passing through the hang leg posture from the wu chi you can still kick fast of the front foot,if your in a cat and someone pops a fast knife edge your knee is toast! and this dosent mean that the wu chi is a fixed fighting position.

hey you left out bear and mongoose?

I dont think anyone on this earth should be called master,at least I wouldnt call anyone that,I called my teacher Shi Gong

I think the difference would be martial art vs martial way,a martial way is something that has been derived from a martial art,to serve another purpose. japanese arts with the suffix word do in their names are martial ways not martial arts. Example aikido the way of harmony,tae kwon do the way of kicking ,karate do,the way of open fist,hapkido,the way of harmonious energy,these martial ways were created to serve some other use, aikido,for example,was created to bring an attaccker down without harming them,a nicce idea but not as useful as a true fighting art, the korean,japanese and similar systems were adapted to tournament play, a sport,not a martial art, this popularly used, loose intrerpretation of them,martial arts, has diluted its meaning. lets look at the deffinition of the separate terms, martial of,or belonging to war,war like bold military. Art; human creativity,skill acquired by study and practice,any craft and its principles,something done skillfuly,a sensitivity to beauty, Combined,these mean a high degree of skill at things belonging to war,not to tournament or play fighting,but acctual combat.

I completely agree with spaceman,Salute!

while war and revolution transformed 20th century china,archaeologists were probing the nations roots. up came hard evidence of the seemingly mythical shang dynasty-and bronze age culture no one had dreamed of. during the excavation.a bronze temple bell was unearthed with this diagram engraved around its circumference,when i first started training with the late shi gong cheng in san fran he had drawn this diagram to help aid in the learning of his families workout forms,the box represents the foot work and the lines extending off the cornners are attackers coming in,teaching how to defend from a four directional attack.this is a very basic training app,but eather way its the same diagram and the temple bell has been on display around the country,i saw it in seattle wash.
