VAHVA, could you ask the master about the position of this art in relation to the ancient warriors, in application with long and short weapons such as spears and swords? I really appreciate your work. Thanks for you and the master.
This gentleman is probably one of the very last teachers of pre cultural revolution Kung Fu in existence. I won't say Real Kung fu, because Wushu IS real kung fu, but it is practiced for performance. This Kung Fu is completely different than Wushu. It is Combat Kung Fu, taught by someone who has spent their life mastering it for that purpose. I have loads of respect for this man, and I hope he passes it on to someone who studies it the way he has and can pass it on. otherwise the art may be lost forever.
As a former greco wrestler: actually, you do grip the wrist with the thumb in greco, preferably index and thumb around the wrist an the other fingers on the meat of the palm. Thumbless is mostly for upper arm and high forearm grips, on wrist it's mostly an option for 2-on-1 since it's slightliy quicker, but with the thumb you can twist the hand and lock the elbow in addition to the shoulder.
It is incredibly interesting to watch him perform the "katas". The INTENT and the muscle activation is UNREAL. In a way it is similar to the old school strongmen light dumbbell stem where intention drives all muscle tension. Also notice how stupidly conditioned are his hands?
Ive watched two of your videos now, your knowledge spreadz with the application, not as in spreads from person to person, but more like a extensive outward flow, I have studied gojuryu and a bit of boxing, and im starting to piece some thingz together while adding, changing. You are good. Thank you grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan.
"I live my life a quarter fist at a time". Winnings winning. On a more serious note, this Master seems deadly! The ending scene really captured the intensity well.
I know nothing about any martial arts... But I'm impressed that every movement, even the lightest one is an advantage for the next one... And so goes on... Wow, so it is not just a desicive hit, it's like a Chain of many possibilities involved in everything he does. Wow. My mind is overheated... Thank you. Beautiful art
Good day to you and sifu. Ive study Choy Li Fut for a very long time and though i like a lot of other fighting style art: Bei jing, Tong Long, and 7 Star Praying Mantis. I never thought much about Monkey even though my sifu was good friends with the Monkey King's son and my teach showed me the Monkey Hammer fist form. I still had no interest in the style until now. Im very impress and am interested in learning the online course.
It's interesting to see some techniques cross over between arts. I've seen the striking with the wrist before it's called a feeler backhand strike in Praying Mantis Kung fu. Really cool stuff Much respect to you Sifu.
Learned the same type of claw grip in Ninjutsu. The index & ring finger pokes the eyes , the middle finger strikes between the eyes and also the thumb hits the philtrum, right under the nose/upper lip area.
Hello again from Canada will Grand Master Jiang Yu Shan be covering the psychological dangers of qiqong meditation? He mentioned in one video he has to make a seperate video to explain i am looking forward to it!
This is only the second video of yours I have watched, I was skeptical of you at first, so many fakes out there, but then your grabbing techniques and pressure point techniques in this video convinced me that you know your stuff. Nice technique!
Basically strengthen every part to be able to hit with whatever is closest. Also the no thumb grip is much stronger and secure in a bear hug for a throw, and quick to disengage.
Not so. Perhaps years to be proficient, but not decades. I learned Praying Mantis Kung Fu from my Master (maybe a three decades he studied) whose fingers felt like iron rods when he raked them up or down your rib cage. So, in that case he fits your assumption. But, I studied there a year before moving (in the Military), and I have studied with my current Kung Fu School about 3 years (1st Degree Black Belt there) During sparring, I used Mantis Fist striking at sparing partner's shoulder and he suddenly dropped low... my Mantis made contact with his cheek instead and ruptured a blood vessel in his eye... he had to go to Urgent Care. I wasn't even striking hard... just fast, so he could not intercept. Plus the strike is circular, so it got past his defense. Point being, we study enough physics to understand f=ma (Force = Mass x Acceleration). You don't need the mass of an entire fist to create damage. Acceleration is the key. And you achieve this by being completely relaxed until the point of impact. The other Style I learned from was Hsing I Chuan, or Mind Fist. Internal style, but it appears external, because it looks like hard impact. But, true mastery is to achieve soft and quick. Tension is at point of impact. We practice Eagle's Claws and Mantis Strikes on the Wooden Dummy. A year or so of this, you will gain some proficiency. But, fingers go to soft body parts like eyes, against the temple, into the Pressure points below the nose, the throat, groin... soft tissue areas. A Disciple who is dedicated can learn these techniques to the point of being useful after years, not decades. Take care.
This is similar to leopard and tiger style in hung gar you sink ur fingers into the joints of the arm or wrist and then strike or pull and rake down this called tiger claw but most mma people won’t understand how this effective
Different tools for different tasks. Options. Pushing or striking fingers into the eyes is a tried and proven pressure point technique. Pushing or striking anything fairly edgy into the throat is a tried and proven pressure point technique. Stabbing with a blade is a tried and proven pressure point technique. It becomes stupid when someone thinks that any one move is going to handle all problems though.
I have the theory that the pressure point thing began as a misunderstanding because is true there are parts of your body that always are going to be fragile like your eyes, throat ,ears,nose,groin etc. So probably that was teach as "no matter who you fight if you attack those parts you are going to do at least some damage" , thousand years past and the idea was twisted to "If you punch a guy in this parts he is going to fall in pain", another thousand years and now the idea is " If I touch you in this little point behind your ears I'm going to instant k.o. you" and because the idea sound so cool and mysterious traditional martial artists just rolled with that. After all even today the thing that separates a good martial artist and a legendary martial artist is how good they are at marketing themselves.
Could you talk more about what Sifu is doing at the end of the video ? It looks a bit similar to Sanchin Kata in Karate. I want to know more about this please. Thank you for the video
Sanchin comes to karate from it’s White Crane kung fu origins. White Crane influenced many martial arts in China. So many styles have similar dynamic tension and breathing exercises.
Monkey king Fu? What if his opponent knows giraffe style? Could his art form help him defend himself from an onslaught attack by a master of 'dessert eagle' style. Or what about of some one challenges him to a fight and that warrior knows 'these are my four mates, get him boys style' I'd love to see monkey Fu in UFC it would e amazing to see a master wipe the floor with those MMA poses 😂
Vahva, you're all open to learning movement...of all kinds...but then you arrive to martial arts and seem dumb-founded by archaic, impractical, obtuse hard-forms and techniques -_- I don't get it. I'm gonna assume this guy is your long lost father or something :p
Check out his Qigong, some of the methods are head and shoulders above what everyone is doing in movement training right now. The knowledge in movement is severely lacking with no proper understanding of either strength training or internal processes (qigong covering breathing, mind etc.). As for Kung Fu, a lot of it is very refined movement as well. It may not just be what you consider “movement” right now. Self-defense is extra we decided to do for the people who are interested in this kind of stuff. However we are returning to our typical content soon once we finish this Kung Fu / Qigong chapter for a while
How to destroy your hands and still not be able to fight. This man has incipient arthritis and his hands were shaking slightly. Maiming you’re body isn’t healthy and you have much better options when it comes to martial arts.

I really appreciate your work. Thanks for you and the master.
those hand deformations tell a story. This guy has done a ton of hitting hard objects with his palms, fingers, claws. bones have grown denser

He already has a few very advanced or master level students I think
Some guy: What’s up dude? *throws a high 5*
The Sifu: So you have chosen death..
Truly amazing. When the world starts to catch on, your courses could have a huge impact on the modern understanding of what our bodies are capable of.
As a former greco wrestler: actually, you do grip the wrist with the thumb in greco, preferably index and thumb around the wrist an the other fingers on the meat of the palm. Thumbless is mostly for upper arm and high forearm grips, on wrist it's mostly an option for 2-on-1 since it's slightliy quicker, but with the thumb you can twist the hand and lock the elbow in addition to the shoulder.
this guy is a legend. he comes from an amazing lineage. so much ancient knowledge.
That monkey fist looks brutal. I never thought that human fingers could turn into daggers. That’s fierce.
It’s amazing what conditioning can do turn our bones into weopons
I did not know what Vin Diesel is a kung fu master
😄Good eyes
Underrated
Worldwide martial artists ..when you see hands and forarms like those you instantly know this man body is trained like a weapon !respects
It is incredibly interesting to watch him perform the "katas".
The INTENT and the muscle activation is UNREAL.
In a way it is similar to the old school strongmen light dumbbell stem where intention drives all muscle tension.
Also notice how stupidly conditioned are his hands?
That's a very, very interesting and authentic teaching.

A very fascinating video.
Thank you for your introduction to this teacher. I hope the rest of your visit with Jiang Yu Shan was equally rewarding.
Thanks very much for this video, you are a great grandmaster Jiang yu shan.

Hello, Sir I'm a INDIAN person and I appreciate your physically activities. From now on I will also learn. Thank you for this training.
You know Kalaripayattu?
He is a good Teacher, with fun attitudes.
phenomenal knowledge. i know what its like to be the demonstration dummy, but its also a great honor
Good day to you and sifu. Ive study Choy Li Fut for a very long time and though i like a lot of other fighting style art: Bei jing, Tong Long, and 7 Star Praying Mantis.

0:22 I've been hit with that middle finger from someone with the proper conditioning, and boy, do you feel it.
I love how indept his explanation of the technique is
Learned the same type of claw grip in Ninjutsu. The index & ring finger pokes the eyes , the middle finger strikes between the eyes and also the thumb hits the philtrum, right under the nose/upper lip area.
V. Diesel should do a movie with Sifu as his brother... that would be kick-ass. The audience might even believe it is his real brother.
Really interesting.
Love this Master...
5:23 Easy to break the thumb. When grabbing someones arm with the fingers and thumbs its easy to break the thumb. Very easy.
Hello again from Canada will Grand Master Jiang Yu Shan be covering the psychological dangers of qiqong meditation? He mentioned in one video he has to make a seperate video to explain i am looking forward to it!
I'm seeing the hand development, his hands are thick and powerful looking
This is only the second video of yours I have watched, I was skeptical of you at first, so many fakes out there, but then your grabbing techniques and pressure point techniques in this video convinced me that you know your stuff. Nice technique!
I love these videos. I wish I could be trained in the arts by someone so skilled.
do not wish.
Make time for it.
alot of time.
a life time.
Thank you for sharing the succinct break down of your learnings. 📿🙏🏻
Hi brother.. Very important learn 🤝
"You want to see a red face?" That made me laugh out loud! XD
Thanxs for sharing
Basically strengthen every part to be able to hit with whatever is closest. Also the no thumb grip is much stronger and secure in a bear hug for a throw, and quick to disengage.
I'm not expecting a reply, but does he have a physical school he teaches at? Would love to train with him.
I want learn it
He need to condition his fingers for decades to make those hand stances practical.
Not so. Perhaps years to be proficient, but not decades.

Hello Sifu.

This is similar to leopard and tiger style in hung gar you sink ur fingers into the joints of the arm or wrist and then strike or pull and rake down this called tiger claw but most mma people won’t understand how this effective
once in a street fight i hit someone with my wrist. he was too close to be punched. it worked really well
Are we still talking about deadly finger pokes to pressure points? I thought we were past this already. Ugh

Awesome advice!
Dude is so cool
REAL KUNG FU AWESOME
Are you for real?
How do you monkey kungfu if your hands are wrapped in an mma bout?
@Rob Parker that would only work on 50% of the population
Jiang Yu Shan XoX
Could you talk more about what Sifu is doing at the end of the video ? It looks a bit similar to Sanchin Kata in Karate. I want to know more about this please.
Thank you for the video
心意把。The heart and mind moves.(sequence)
Sanchin comes to karate from it’s White Crane kung fu origins. White Crane influenced many martial arts in China. So many styles have similar dynamic tension and breathing exercises.
@@edwardstanulevich1764 Thank you for your answer
Sanchin comes to crane and Okinawan arts from Fujian Luohan Boxing. Fang Chiniang's father was a master of Luohan from Fujian Shaolin Boxing.
This one is so scary , this is the part I don't like about kung fu.
Oss🙏🏾
Sifu is a killer and I love it
I can feel the strength in his moves even though he's on video. I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of The Master's punch.
Tha'k vayli ?
Это смешно убрал кулак сторону по этому этат удар и неучат
Who thought it was Vin Diesel at first glance?
His hands are so swollen

Thumbs up if you might use your COVID stimulus check to take the Monkey Course!
Whoa, why is Avicii training with Vin Diesel?!
Oh dear stop with this silliness

His hands are healthy and likely more mobile than yours. Shaking is entirely in your head
😂😂😂
What is so funny about this? You imply this is a hoax?
