Seriously, this video is supposed to be about the major Kung Fu styles yet you left out Hung Gar and Choy Li Fut, not to mention Shuai Chiao and White Eyebrow styles?
You forgot a major South china style: "Hung Gar kune" (Hong Jia Chuan in mandarin)"The fist of Hung Family", which is a major style (codified by Hung-Hei-Gung, Lok Ha Choi, Tit Kiu Sam&Wong Kai Ying to the famous Wong Fei Hung and then Lam Sei Wing, Chan Hon Chung, and nowadays Taai Sifu Paolo Cangelosi (see "Budo International" magazine and videos for more info).
it kind of is though. In the early days it was just a competition format. But over the years the format has given rise to a quite narrow and specific set of ideas.
Most who practice tai chi do it only as an exercise and do t even know its a martial art, so i wouldnt count them as practitioners. If anything, use of tai chi in a martial sense is very rare.
Yes. I think it's better to be taught specific exercises, strikes, in ways like you would/can use them in combat, though, in a relaxed medium speed. Then you can slow it all right down to fully understand the intricacies of each movement & link it all in. Also training it FAST. Though need to get it smooth first. "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast."
No doubt wing chun is the most known globally kung fu style. That due to someone which name I won't mention it because certain people might not like it if I mention it...
None in UFC, PRIDE, K1, ETC uses Chinese Martial Arts... And those who claim to be the master of CMA, don`t use any movement of CMA when in fight. Everyone practise CMA and self-claim to be the master was destroyed by Xu Xiaodong. Jack Ma even put reward on him if anyone can defeat and not happened yet.
If you're filming an "explanation" video of Tai Chi, you shouldn't bring Zhang Sanfeng with you. Beijing's Chen style Tai Chi was the beginning, and Zhang Sanfeng was added later as a legend. Even Chen style Tai Chi was originally under the influence of Shaolin Quan. Not wutang.
For beginners yes, but less instructivee for those considering to start training one of them. Authors should point out probably the most important thing to take into account, namely the potentials and limitations of one´s personal, body structure and then the future purpose of training: health, sports or self-defence, often linked with cold weapons applications. All the best. Paul,69
you need a better picture for the dragon claw, it's actually a palm strike and then changes into the claw, not to mention the pinky and ring finger aren't so closed, the idea is once you strike or block with the palm, you want to change it into the claw so you can catch the opponents body, pulling him in for a second strike or take down. very similar to the tiger claw but not as forceful of a grab, more like a hook catching the pray.
My late father practiced tai chi for over 60 years. Tai chi is more exercise than combat skills. It's much more for meditation and slow stretching and movements for health than hand to hand fighting.
One thing about Taijiquan is that it's a legit martial art. It was invented to be martial, using weapons, but it was severely washed out throughout the centuries and tailored for health. Nowadays I consider it a post martial art, where 5% is "martial" and 95% is "art". My Taijiquan instructor said he was actually more interested in Baguazhang, because it's less soft than Taijiquan. But students (especially elder) in my country are much more interested in learning Taijiquan than the less known Baguazhang.
ms.annthrope415 Tai chi is not the same thing as tai chi chuan. I think it means different things to different people. Like anything in life the calibre of the teacher is important.
I am a practitioner of tai chi once a week. But in trainee only. But we seem to not be practicing more and more different moves fast enough. And I have been doing it for about maybe 2 and a half years and we always seem to do the same moves repeatedly every time for some frustrating reason.
Tai Chi is a soft art meant more as a meditation and spiritual cultivation. The different branches of Kung Fu are a fighting technique and meant for spiritual cultivation as well, but great for self defense as well.
BodhidharmaAD born 440.he taught zen buddhism at shaolin ,not necessary kungfu as claimed Bodhi likely teach lighteness,something like proper breathing and meditation( Zen).this means senior practitioners can defy gravity , can float and fly

I find it interesting that when people talk about wing chun, Bruce's name gets into the conversation yet many don’t know is that Bruce went away from wing chun starting in 1965 and removed entirely in 1970. He even told his wing chun senior in 1969: "I’ve lost faith in the Chinese classical arts, though I still call mine Chinese, because basically all styles are products of land swimming, even the Wing Chun school. So my line of training is more toward efficient street fighting with everything goes, wearing head gear, gloves, chest guard, shin/knee guards, etc… I’ve named my style jeet kune do, reason for my not sticking to Wing Chun is because I sincerely feel that this style has more to offer regarding efficiency."
Actually there were Kung Fu styles before Shaolin, those were what originated from India. Shaolin was going down hill when animal styles were developed to embrace both the soft and the hard. Strangely both the Northern Shaolin and Southern Shaolin did this separately around the same time in part based on Kung Fu outside the Temples which is why there are differences in their animal styles and what lineup of animals each featured. The Southern Shaolin did it before the Northern Shaolin and their styles still retain this aspect whereas there are many Northern styles that don't mimic animals at all!
@@robertmallory1877 Yeah my research on China's martial arts history led me to it's own home grown fighting system called Chen Fa ( Kempo...) the martial art system of the Chinese military and taoist Tai Chi Chuan which both predates Shaolin Kung Fu by 2000 years!
qigong in tai chi was only added in the 1980's tai chi is about making any part of the body into a lever to get maximum power generation for minimum imput. this is done through making pivots and rotating
Excellent explanation of the true martial benefits of the internal martial arts. U fortunately, you can tell by. Some of the comments that the myth that these styles are only for exercise continues on.

Until you get mauled by one of their open hand techniques. Read materials from Marc "Animal" MacYoung for info on what he called the "mauling" moves that boxers, wrestlers and kickers would do well to fear!
Earlier than the Chinese styles for sure but the earliest Greek combat sports had their influence spread as far as India courtesy of Alexander the Great and company. I'd say India improved on them quite a bit. What I am not clear on is how old the Silat systems of Indonesia. Malayasia, Java etc. are!

Zen Buddhism is just the more widely known Japanese name for Chan Buddhism. For a long time in the West the Japanese practises were more well known than the Chinese, hence the ignorance. But yes as already said, it has Indian origins of course. Anecdotally DaMo / Bodhidarma brought it to China in the 5th century. The Japanese adopted it later from China and of course gave it their own flavour.
That's a myth, there was nobody such as Boddidharma or whoever. None of this originated in India, and that idea has been refuted long ago, even by Indian academics
Tibetean Buddhism is basically the same as Indian Buddhism. Chan Buddhism was eventually subject to Taoism influence. When it reached Japan it was influenced by Shintoism and is usually referred to as Zen Buddhism. Tibetean Kung Fu allegedly was formed after and influenced by Chinese Kung Fu. What is definite is at least one of the Tibetean styles made it's way to Southern China and became known under the name Hop Gar!
The words originally referred to the same arts but when Communist China changed Kung Fu into ever increasingly acrobatic demonstration arts and downplayed actual fighting techniques the Wu Shu name got attached to these "revised" forms.
