Good fighting style hungfut, blend of hung gar and fut gar with awesome staff( White Haired Devil being one of its most famous staff masters). I did it when i was a young man then studied taijiquan as a boxing art when i past middle age ( as my hungfut sifu said to me when i passed 40 " do you really want to keep fighting young guys in their prime who never lived as hard as you with hungfut? " thats when he started teaching me taiji boxing.
I think Baguazhang is starting to make a small resurgence. Not as popular as Wing Chun or well known as Shaolin but Baguazhang is a very beautiful martial art.
I'm just curious the difference between Northern shaolin which you practice and shaolin temple shaolin I really liked this video not just cause my style was number one lol Awesome video
Daniel Mah Yeah, but I was thinking something more like the fencing scene from hamlet, but using either hand to hand fighting or other martial arts weapons other than a Rapier. But yeah something along those lines.
This is not unusual, the cast of 'Warriors Two' including Samo Hung didn't know Wing Chun before they started filming. In fact the guy who played the Wing Chun master was purely an actor with no formal martial art training.

I think an honourable mention should be made for Choy Li Fut. Less well known, but perhaps more effective than many kung fu styles (pre-sanda). Their practitioners adopt a kickboxing style in the ring and have held their own as well as defeating Thai boxers in Thailand on occasion in their history.
@Michael Bizaare Better cut half of those unless you're really ready to train 24/7, & i mean it literally. Mastering any one of those you already listed alone would take years with hours of practice every day. unless you're unbelievably talented & has no problems on focusing on kung fu training 24/7 & nothing else, you won't be able to even master 3 of those in 10 years.
@@FalconWindblader I practice XingYiQuan. I Need at least One hour only for YinQiGong ( Da zhuang and Dian Shi Gong), then there are SanTiShi ,Wu XingQuan... People having a full-time job should practice only One style.
It's interesting to see how in the time I've been practicing it, Wing Chun went from being completely unknown, to possibly the most famous style of kung fu
I started with Bujinkan, then began Tan Tien Tschuan, Tai Chi and a bit of Karate, Taekwondo and even Aikido and Judo- now I am learning Wing Chun. What I learned is that every style has its benefits and the kombination is the cherry on the cake for me. (For example when I teach my fellow practitioners some wrist locks- comes in very handy) Bujinkan is my root but what blooms out of it has varied so far that I lost track somehow- obivously it works in Chi Sao and Lat Sau :) Your videos are great and I am glad that I found your channel- keep on going.
There’s nothing quite like the first style you learn huh? Still, it’s such a great time to be a martial artist. So much to learn and so many ways to learn them
Have to admit, I was expecting choy li fut somewhere in the list. For me, it's one of the most iconic styles in terms of movement and posture, and it's definitely one of the more common styles being taught outside of China.
Speaking of iconic forms, I bet you could get a lot of traffic to your channel if you made a tutorial video for the shaolin forms that you mentioned. I would love a praying mantis tutorial, personally. Great stuff
Just incase you guys are nervous about giving a tutorial in a style that you aren’t a Sifu in just cut the b/s. You guys are at the top of your game right now, and better than most sifus out there. Nobody is going to chastise you and if they do, screw’em. Don’t let formality get in the way of your progression and what you have earned.
@@HungGarEarthBender Interesting perspective. I'm not sure if I would agree. I think it depends on how comfortable they are in representing certain styles as well as respecting the wishes of those who taught them the particular forms. I have mixed feelings on the subject, so I'm down for discussion. But, to give some context my teacher cares a lot more about "secrets" to the point that I'm not supposed to even practice certain sets and exercises in view of certain other students in class.

Would you be so kind to link a video that teaches it? I could look it up but I dont know anything about it and can't tell if the teacher is good or not thanks.
If you guys have watched Jackie Chan's Snake in Eagle's shadow movie then there's a character in it by the name of Master Han, and his fight scene is at 1 hour and 2 minutes I wanna know what style that is
Friendly pointer about the meaning of Gung Ji Fook Fu. The literal meaning is "Gong-Character Taming Tiger". The "Gong-Character" is the Chinese character for "work" and I agree that it kinda looks like the letter "I" written in a similar fashion to the one that gets hopped on by a lamp in Pixar movies! 😂😂😂
Actually, "little idea" isn't just about what the style has to offer, but also, it teachs you everything has a beginning and you have to empty your mind before filling it with new concepts (idea). Sam Bai Foot section is where you empty your mind, before it before it becomes faster and explosive. You go from a small yin, to a expansive yang when performing Siu Nim Tao.
Great video. Lower your taan sao. The angle is too high to be effective under pressure. There's so many amazing styles of Gung Fu out there and it's great seeing them showcased and talked about 💙
@@lohan570 Well, I suppose Yang, even though it isn't the one I'd choose to learn for myself, it is the most widely practiced and hence, the most iconic in that sense. But just as in your praying mantis part you mentioned the many praying mantis forms, it could have also been done with Taijiquan. I understand the scope of the project of narrowing it down to the top 5 however. :) I have a feeling though that even random people off the street that know nothing about Chinese martial arts would at least have heard of Taijiquan vs any of the ones listed here. ;)
I trained Northern Shaolin under Sifu Shi Guolin's intensive summer course. It allowed me to understand the fundamentals of Shaolin techniques as well as to appreciate my other arts like Karate and Ninjutsu that also had their foundation in it. Omituofo!
@@daltondammthebabe Shorinji Kempo was practiced by many of the Buddhist monks that brought the philosophy to Japan and in many of the forms can be found movements that are exactly the same as those found in taijutsu kamae and waza
Kung Fu is the most famouse Martial arts yet many keep of using Karate instead. The most famous person we know today that knows or Master of Praying Mantis is Jet Li, you didn't include him 😧. People, well in the Philippines always misuse Karate like when they refer to Wing Chun or any person who knows martial arts. Now people are kinda confuse of what is the difference between Wushu ans Kung Fu.

@@CarlosCruz-mw4hp I know. Would you be interested in sharing your interpretation of the Tan Tui movements? My Kung Fu Group for instance has interpreted most movements as takedowns and chain wrestling techniques besides road 2, 5, 7, of course. For example in road 1 you use the first movement to trap your opponent's right arm with your own right arm and apply an elbow lock, then you step behind him and push the trapped arm down. When you then do the typical long fist "punch" you would actually be pushing the opponent over your leg. If the opponent blocks your arm you would use your elbow to push and if the opponent then slips out of your elbow push you then trap his left arm with your left arm and use your right fist to push him over your leg. And then if the opponent steps back you just follow him and step behind him again and repeat the technique combination on the other side.
Nytro Dralyg They can be used as punches and kicks, but in my experience, it’s not very practical. But my kung fu brother has done it in tournaments he is effective with road 1, 2, and 10. In my experience, I use them as take downs. 2 it’s a bit tricky. As you wrap your “kicking” leg on your opponents leg and the arms use the push and pull concept. I used it once. Brought someone down. I used 11 once on some guy trying to revisit. That was the first time I used Tan Tui. They step forward it works, they retreat I follow or step through. It’s not like I picked what road to use, the technique just comes out. I find out what road I did after the event it’s done. Which has me wondering how to make Gong Li Quan practical. I’m not too sure about that one.

Of course all tiger forms at least have the tiger claw hand in common....
Yes! Bhak Tang Lang ! Northern Praying Mantis... Wong Hon Fun! Great vdo thank you for recognizing Praying Mantis as one of the top 5.... its a popular system, but there’s only a few lineage offering the authentic system in the world.. - Gun Orachan 9th Generation disciple under Grand Master Yuen Man Kai (8th generation) under the Wong Hon Fun Lineage
Nice to see a lot of positive talk in the chat. Everywhere els I see UFC fan boys boxers and wrestlers trashing things with no true knowledge what what it is or its history.
I'm relieved to see that myself! Though I'd like to think that even some MMA practitioners are starting to realize the merits of the traditional arts :)
Literally just got home from wing Chun session and we where discussing how Shaolin is long while mantis is close wing Chun falls somewhere in between. Wing Chun is my primary style but really want to add mantis and a few on this list to my arsenal.
Kind of depends whether it's Hakka Mantis or Shandong Mantis. Northern Mantis almost has a closer range than the southern because of the grappling and takedown strategies.
Songshan Shaolin, Northern Shaolin and Cha Quan have a lot of common ancestry so I can definitely see how those three look a like. Hung Kuen and Wing Chun have very distinctive looks. What this says to me is that China is vast in area and history and as such, Chinese martial arts change gradually from region to region. Hung Kuen and Choy Lay Fut, while distinctive in their own rights are going to have a number of techniques that look rather similar. Wing Chun will look similar to other "close quarters" styles such as Bak Mei or Dragon style. Every style I mentioned in this list has a pretty direct connection to the Shaolin Temple
Hey there was a great video, very informative. T-shirt looks great but I wouldn't want to use it here in the Bronx NY somebody might want to beat me up just to see if I know anything lmfo lol 😂
@@alexliu5636 true but it depends on the branch, I've seen An Wushu Baji and it kinda has the flashiness, also The Grandmaster movie is a good example of baji in film, otherwise like most northern styles, it's not recognizable compared to the styles of the South when it comes to film depictions due to convenience and other factors.
I have studied martial arts while I lived in Taipei Taiwan and later when I lived in the Shandong province of the peoples Republic of China I was fortunate to study with some excellent masters of praying mantis kung fu, regardless of what people say about traditional arts it is a treasure to have as a repertoire for your own personal development 學習螳螂拳就讓我很容易的學別的拳法 I just recently learned taming the Tiger form it’s totally worth learning... hung gar and choy li fut are just amazing!
Hung Gar is an example of southern shaolin. They wanted the fire kingdom to be distinct from the earth kingdom so they went with northern shaolin. Also, the four bending styles are based on the styles practiced by the show’s martial arts advisor, Sifu Kisu- one of my elders in Northern Shaolin.
Because Tai Chi is generally useless. Even the forms explored here are little more than dancing, and would get you absolutely pummelled by a decent MMA fighter. But Tai Chi is especially useless in reality. Might look nice in a Golden Harvest movie, but it is utterly useless
@@wosandberg Yang Tai Chi actually has some of my favorite clinch techniques for San Da. But I shouldn't expect an armchair expert like you to know anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I do vaguely recall seeing a book or something along those lines. I’ve never really seen a northern tiger form however
How is Northern Shaolin different from SongShan Temple Shaolin?
Mother of all martial arts = Kalari
Fu Jow Pai by Grandmaster Tak Wah Eng. Also Tiet Kuen
Yes! Bhak Tang Lang ! Northern Praying Mantis... Wong Hon Fun! Great vdo thank you for recognizing Praying Mantis as one of the top 5.... its a popular system, but there’s only a few lineage offering the authentic system in the world.. - Gun Orachan 9th Generation disciple under Grand Master Yuen Man Kai (8th generation) under the Wong Hon Fun Lineage
Yang Style Tai Chi 108 should have been on the list
Awesome video! But my feelings are a little hurt, no mention of my Choy Lay fut style? It’s ok thought, still love these videos 👍
I love CLF! I would totally learn it if given the opportunity
yeahhh way to represent Hung Kuen !!! Great work brother !!!
Northern shaolin is firebending and hung gar is earthbending
Thanks for this knowledgeable video Dmah it's very helpful .. you're awesome.
THIS IS MY SHIT!!! I love learning about what is the signature moves stances and shapes !!
Kung-fu kittens! Best of both worlds!
Nice to see a lot of positive talk in the chat. Everywhere els I see UFC fan boys boxers and wrestlers trashing things with no true knowledge what what it is or its history.
I'm relieved to see that myself! Though I'd like to think that even some MMA practitioners are starting to realize the merits of the traditional arts :)
Shout out to GM Bow Sim Mark @ 1:22. she had a son. Some people might have heard of him...Donnie Yen.
Hehe good catch!
Yeah hung gar. Greatings from switzerland from a student from GM Martin Sewer
Greetings!
Literally just got home from wing Chun session and we where discussing how Shaolin is long while mantis is close wing Chun falls somewhere in between. Wing Chun is my primary style but really want to add mantis and a few on this list to my arsenal.
I definitely recommend 👌👌
Kind of depends whether it's Hakka Mantis or Shandong Mantis. Northern Mantis almost has a closer range than the southern because of the grappling and takedown strategies.
Honestly, they all looked almost the same to me 😳 Only Ip Man’s White Crane looks a bit different
Songshan Shaolin, Northern Shaolin and Cha Quan have a lot of common ancestry so I can definitely see how those three look a like. Hung Kuen and Wing Chun have very distinctive looks. What this says to me is that China is vast in area and history and as such, Chinese martial arts change gradually from region to region. Hung Kuen and Choy Lay Fut, while distinctive in their own rights are going to have a number of techniques that look rather similar. Wing Chun will look similar to other "close quarters" styles such as Bak Mei or Dragon style. Every style I mentioned in this list has a pretty direct connection to the Shaolin Temple
Oh man, thanks so much for explaining and telling...! Would like to know more about these kung fu styles and martial arts..........they're cool AF :o
I wish I could show you guys Bajiquan. I feel you'd appreciate it
Baji Quan is amazing!
Hey there was a great video, very informative. T-shirt looks great but I wouldn't want to use it here in the Bronx NY somebody might want to beat me up just to see if I know anything lmfo lol 😂
I was expecting bajiquan to be on the list but great list neverless
Bajiquan is awesome but it lacks flashiness and is probably really hard to look impressive on film .
@@alexliu5636 true but it depends on the branch, I've seen An Wushu Baji and it kinda has the flashiness, also The Grandmaster movie is a good example of baji in film, otherwise like most northern styles, it's not recognizable compared to the styles of the South when it comes to film depictions due to convenience and other factors.
can you show plz im going to high school next year
I am currently training a Chen style Tai Chi Chuan
How bout tai chi? Yang style tai chi is probably the most popular Chinese art.
You might be right!
Great video and 100% want your shirts
Please make a video on how to learn druken fist
I have studied martial arts while I lived in Taipei Taiwan and later when I lived in the Shandong province of the peoples Republic of China I was fortunate to study with some excellent masters of praying mantis kung fu, regardless of what people say about traditional arts it is a treasure to have as a repertoire for your own personal development 學習螳螂拳就讓我很容易的學別的拳法 I just recently learned taming the Tiger form it’s totally worth learning... hung gar and choy li fut are just amazing!
Buy the way, I have just finished learning 道门八段锦（钟云龙道长). I am thinking of learning Bagua!!!
Awesome!!! Go for it!
Cool man. Enjoyed the summary.
That was great, but can you do 5 kung fu styles that you never heard of before???

I want learn shaulin kungfu
Isn’t firebending inspired by southern Shaolin Kung Fu? I know Hung Gar was the inspiration for Earthbending and Tai Chi for waterbending
Hung Gar is an example of southern shaolin. They wanted the fire kingdom to be distinct from the earth kingdom so they went with northern shaolin. Also, the four bending styles are based on the styles practiced by the show’s martial arts advisor, Sifu Kisu- one of my elders in Northern Shaolin.
Daniel Mah very interesting. Thank you
Hello, I'm from Brazil and I wanted to know if you teach online
I don’t teach regularly but who knows, maybe in the future?
Congratulations on the growth of your channel guys. I remember when you guys were at 70k subscribers. Now yall have over half a million
Thanks for sticking with us all this time!
Ihr seit die besten hi from Germany
Love the Master of Tai Chi music in the background. When will the Martial Club Hoodie be back, Daniel?
Which size are you looking for?
@@lohan570 I'm looking for a large.
I practice American Kenpo but thank you so much for preserving the beautiful arts of Kung-Fu for the internet generation.
Hello
Still can't believe you skipped Taijiquan...
Because Tai Chi is generally useless. Even the forms explored here are little more than dancing, and would get you absolutely pummelled by a decent MMA fighter.
But Tai Chi is especially useless in reality. Might look nice in a Golden Harvest movie, but it is utterly useless
@@wosandberg Yang Tai Chi actually has some of my favorite clinch techniques for San Da. But I shouldn't expect an armchair expert like you to know anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
