Monkey style Kung fu

[Rich_2k3]

Monkey Kung fu or Ta Sheng as it is called in China is a style that focus on rolling, twirling and sometimes playful movements encompassing hundreds of deceiving strikes and techniques. It’s constantly changing footwork and ascending and descending stances tend to lull it’s opponent into a state of momentary confusion and bewilderment, allowing the monkey an opportunity to unexpectedly leap into an attack with haunting accuracy. Has any one heard of this style? If u ever watch it being practiced it looks almost laughable but its apparently very efficient. I think it was created by the same guy who created the Praying mantis style. Check the link out:

Monkey style or Tai Shing Pek Kwar is a very diverse style.

 

Monkey kung fu uses faints and many different monkey characters to fool their opponent.There are different types of monkey.The five types of monkey are tall,stone,wood.iron,and drunken if i remember correctly.

 

Each monkey has it's different fighting concepts.Like stone monkey does alot of groundfighting techniques.So there is alot more that goes into monkey than most people are aware of.

 

Monkey is a very effective style of fighting.The example you used Paulie Zink is not a good example.I don't want to use name but fruad and fake are some of the names used to explain Paulie Zink.

 

I myself use alot of monkey techniques in my personal fighting style.
