@@EvosBasics thank you Arthur, really appreciate your feedback! 🙏

@@indyjones1970 thank you Sir! 🙏 Are you practicinf this system in Japan?

@@ChowGar I practice alone as there is no school here. I have many Karate, Judo etc options, but nothing compares to Tong Long

@@indyjones1970 prqcticing alone needs dedication. You must love it really to keep up practicing. Who are you learning from?

@@ChowGar I studied under Sifu Paul Brannan in Brisbane, Australia. The more consistently I train, the better I feel, so I might argue that its easy to train. Hehe

@@indyjones1970 keep it up! 💪

@@szenyanistvan many heavy questions :) Will try to answer them.

@@PakWarriors829 God bless you too!

@@frankmartinez4856 that is true, also real kung fu does not necessarily mean training for life and death situations, but following a method which goes beyond techniques and fancy things, just being practical, useful, impactful, deep, giving something which won’t be given by just going Ng for techniques and forms. Those alone are empty.

@@ecnivmarng7163 thank you for your comment. Where is he not straightening it?

@@ecnivmarng7163 yes, he is really fast with the movements.

@@kiumarsafsharnaderi9389 with us that is achievable .

@@bartomiejkoodziejczyk2457 Hi, thank you for the question. A few years ago we bumped into a Polish Chow Gar website, which was surprising first. I suppose that is the system what you have practiced. As we checked we realized that is a completely different system, with different ancestors and origin story. Our system is called Tung Kong Chow Gar Tong Long and it is a Hakka Southern Praying Mantis variation. No connection of whatsoever to that system. The Chinese name is also different just the writing with Latin letters are similar. The system you mentioned shows similarities with Hungarian Gar and northern styles. In our system the frame, the power generation is very different.

@@houseofkungfu2543 thank you for your kind words. Yes, you comment and like is a support to make this system more accessible, known, popular, which is our goal 🙏

That is cool!

Thank you!

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you!

Thank you Gerald! 🙏

Thank you for your kind words 🙏 Must have been great training with Sikung. Unfortunately we met him only twice when he was 89 and 90 years old. He was still fantastic. We were very lucky for those opportunities.

Definitely

We also have similar trends in Hingary. Foreigners are more interested in some cultural aspects than the locals. Maybe after some generations the trend will change.

Thank you for your kind words.

Thank you for your kind words 🙏

there's no such thing as chow gar, all real spm people know this and it's not a mis pronunciation , there is only Chu Gar, The great supposed grand master of this system , Stole the system after his teacher died and changed the name to chow gar, Then lied about his teacher saying he learned from a different master, Long story short No One in The Real China Mantis circles respects this linage and there is no GATE KEEPER which is a lie, There is Only Heirs!, Henry poo Yee Is also a Fraud but that's a Different Story.

Actually, there are many so called practical videos on RUclips on this topic, those inspired this one. The most practical advice: 1. Realize the possibility of being attacked by a knife and avoid it before it happens 2. When it happens, try to run if it is possible, instead of trying to fight against it The brutal truth is that even if you are very skilled, the chances to get stabbed, wounded or even killed is very high. Anyone can have a knife, does not need any special skills to use it, they can move with it very fast and unpredictable. It is enough a small cut to get in shock phase which can last seconds, during that time they can do anything with you.

However, if the person is highly skilled unfortunately he may be able to counter the two on one but it's a better option than one handed control!!!

Even if we develop more socio-economicly equitable societies, there will still be some bad people. In reality, there are no knife defenses that will always work effectively!!!

Even the two on one might not work!!!

What we say is very important, at least as important as what we show.

Thank you for your kind words 🙏

Hip is one part of the power chain, definitely one pf the most important.

There are no sound effects used in this video, what you hear is the sound of his punch as his power goes through his arm.

Indeed he is in very good shape :)

It depends on which Wong Chun lineage are we talking about.

Real traditional Kung Fu is for fighting. Beside that is has many more purposes. The reason why nowadays people feel that Kung Fu is not good for fighting, because most of the system lost their original way of practicing.

What do you mean exactly?

@@ChowGar I like kwong sai jook lum. I would like to see how similar chow gar is. I want to evaluate your system to see if it is something I can learn from. I want to limit my investment until I know for sure

@@christoddes and what is your idea? How to do that?

Yes, he used to sell such DVD-s. We are also the disciples of Gatekeeper Grandmaster Ip Chee Keung and did practice with him many many times in the last 20 years. Based on that we have created a very thorough online course in which beside the system curriculum we incorporated all our training and teaching experience.

Interesting view, thank you for sharing it. Always interesting to see how people who do not have experience with this system interpret what they see from the videos. The extension of the arms have a specific purpose. It is not about how to hit people, it is about to emphasize a certain posture and principle and to teach how to bring out the force until the and of the arm. Hitting works differently in real application. This system is a principle driven system and teaches, emphasizes certain postures and body mechanics to make the movements more effective. By the way in boxing you can also find very straight punches with extended arms and the body tuned into the punch. What can make Chow Gar look strange is that in practice you can see it done with both hands, but as I said the perception is different from the real meaning of the exercise. I am not sure if it is understandable but I tried my best to explain it.

@@ChowGar It is extremely interesting style of MA.The principles interest me more than 'street' applications & my interest in MA is Form as means of conveying principle & movement & as vehicle for self-realisation & cultural appreciation. Chow Gar is little known where I live & what I have seen of it on RUclips is fascinating & amusing too. I appreciate your explanation of principle & body movement. Mantis is fascinating insect & I have been capturing them for pets since early childhood. Mantis is symbol of courage & singlemindedness. I would like to learn more of this style & I may train Chow Gar if opportunity presents. My humous take on style may seem disrespectful, but I comment as to how I honestly think after viewing. The movements like insect are somewhat disconcerting. If confronted by adversary trained in this style I would avoid. The mind of Mantis is insect Mind. Fascinating & alien.

@@tertia0011 your comment is not offensive or disrespectful at all, rather interesting as I said. For us after almost 30 years it is natural but I absolutely can understand that from outside might look weird or strange. Actually this style does not try to copy the mantis but instead goes for absorbing the mindset and instinct of the mantis. Of course there are certain posture which might remind to the insect but that is not the goal.
