This was just a performance like you see in Moon Festival or New Year not a real fight. People here really think they will cut each other with swords on film?
That depends on what you consider real Kung Fu. Is real Kung Fu performance-based, or is it actual fighting? This video was a demonstration video, a performance. An actual fight would not involve most of what you saw here.
The difference is during that time, although the pattern doesn't look that fantastic, people are training to kill. Nowadays people are just training for the forms with no intention to kill.
No, the difference is that now people are training Wushu which is a combination of multiple styles with the functional component removed, like most TMA it devolved over time for various reasons. Outside of Sanda the stuff people train thinking it is "Kung Fu" wouldn't work even if they tried to train for practical fighting purposes. I'd also say the form here is an aesthetic one, this is done as a demonstration for people to join the school.
This looks like Wuzuquan, which I practiced for two years. My teachers would dominate all the kickboxing-rule based tournaments they entered. It’s very hard to see from this, but the power a proficient practitioner can generate is very, very impressive. I can understand why people would think it’s ineffective, though. I say this as someone who switched to BJJ. While wuzuquan lacks in the grappling department, I definitely would die/be crippled in seconds going up against a skilled wuzuquan fighter
uh huh....most Kung Fu is sadly going to not stand up to even a semi decent Karate person. I love Kung Fu, don't get me wrong but you indirectly hit the nail on the head, the lack of skilled fighters....I think soon we are going to see Kung Fu as a proper fighting art go extinct and just be theoretical. I am saddened to say that but most teachers are paper tigers. Yes we don't do martial arts only to fight, I know there is so much more than that but let's be honest about.
@@TheStrataminor In my experience ,there are definitely fake wushu masters around. I can only talk about what I’ve seen firsthand: the Wuzuquan guys clearly dominated those mixed martial arts tournaments with kickboxing rules (no grappling, no low kicks). Our best fighter (18), who was a red belt at the time, went up against a karate black belt (32) and beat him. He was also skilled at taekwondo and kickboxing, I should add. Had a trial lesson at a shotokan dojo a few years later, and their black belts were at such a much lower level than the wuzuquan red belts (two steps from black). I’m not anti-karate in any way. Japan is actually my home, and there are definitely amazing karate fighters around. I have actually also practiced an ineffective Korean martial art, which they kinda brand as Korean shaolin. It looks beautiful, but there’s basically no sparring, so there’s nothing martial about it. Let’s hope true wushu stays alive, eh :)
Old footage can be cleaned up and even colorized to an amazing degree now. You can easily search YT for much older footage than what is shown here and it's unreal clean. Even the movement of the people (like when they're walking as an example) is evened out and you can see that they walked normally back then, as we do now. LOL! (you know what I mean)
I like that... might need to steal the term "communist floppy swords." My wushu friends have no idea why I'm offended by their weapons and butterfly kicks.
Falso. La federación Jin Wu abrió las puertas al kung fu recreacional una década antes, además de que la persecución politica a maestros no se inició sino hasta la revolución cultural.
so, no butterfly kicks and guys pretending to be a frog on the ground like idiots? Cause thats what they do in the shaolin monastery and they claim to teach the real ancestral 38th generation stuff..
As far as Japanese are concerned, they never attacked China until they had a modern army. Before that they never dared to pick a fight because China was the dominant power of east Asia culturally, politically, and militarily. As far as the west is concerned, they only dared to mess with China when they had guns and canons both of which they originally imitated from the Ming. Apparently, you have no knowledge of history and your ignorance is in part forgivable, but the Chinese took on all individual fight challengers during the humiliating opium days and won with pride. It seems that you have a personal issue with the Chinese. Work on your humanity instead and spend less time hating. The Chinese are here to stay so learn to get along and live along.
Aí que você se engana. Pesquisa no RUclips, LANGYU CAI. e outra, não dá para saber se naquela época a China nas mãos nuas venceram os europeus ou japoneses, agora que os armamentos dos próprios eram mais eficazes do que os chineses, sem duvida.
@@AnonymousTraveler-ze2vm umm they invaded China and Korea in the late 1592 Imjin war way before they had a modern army. lol Research history before commenting......
Essentially it is a dance, it's a display to fit the culture at the time and isn't fighting. There are certainly fighting techniques in there, you just need to know what to look for. There would be no way of telling if they could fight from what they are doing here but 1920's China was arguably more dangerous than our sanitised modern lives and the techniques in Chinese martial arts like this, are the same for every other martial art so it's fair to assume that martial artists in China could fight.

Sure... Chinese Bob...
Drums are dope.
Their skin was much darker than today’s Chinese by far.
Nice 2-man set with the dao, cool weapons footage! ⚔
Amazing. Growing up I would watch Shaw brothers martial arts movies. Truly awesome and inspirational athleticism.🙏🏽😎
Intriguing historical footage.
Fantastic video it's good to see guys with real Kung-Fu.

Classic & priceless
Thanks for posting this, at last some authentic looking Chinese weapon forms
This is inspiring. It's like a movie, unreal!
Yes it inspired me to sleep.
Wow, this film is freaking fantastic! I'd really like to see more of this video.
Nice dancing..
Wicked cool!
Excelente!!!
I like it when the guy did a kung fu
It's good to know that kung fu movements existed in real life and is not just a fanciful creation of the Hong Kong film industry
What?
See, kids, why you shouldn't take drugs.

Ah, the 1920s. When the only way to eat...was to die!
Thanks very fast or is that the film?
Nice dancing and choreography.
Superb!
When practice it's the best, when real fight look like a children play.
Baguazhang saber!!
Are you sure this was from the 20s? The motion is quite smooth for a film of that era.
It was what I was told but I can't be certain. The soldier uniforms look to be of that era though.
Sure it is
Very hard to tell.

is that the original music? I don't think they can record sound in that era, yet?
I don't know but it was on the video when I came across it.
They are advance in china while the wesr have silent movies

У меня всегда один вопрос : почему среди японцев , китайцев и корейцев нет известных спортсменов , владеющих холодным оружием?
a capoeira da China.
1st time I've seen CMA without communist floppy swords
I like that... might need to steal the term "communist floppy swords."
My wushu friends have no idea why I'm offended by their weapons and butterfly kicks.
@@randomdds right that’s not real wushuuu not traditional kung fu
This was pre communism in China.
"Floppy swords" are so edgelords on RUclips who think they can fight dont get cut which I know you would.
Wow! My comment was going to be "and those aren't Wu Shu weapons"!
You act like those “communist floppy swords” can’t cut. No, they can’t stab, but they can still make you bleed.
As useless then as it is now as far a defensive combat/combat sports go.
That's a lot "African slaves" practicing KungFu!🤨
🇦🇺😎👍
Eso es opera china el Real kung fu no se podía mostrar
Falso. La federación Jin Wu abrió las puertas al kung fu recreacional una década antes, además de que la persecución politica a maestros no se inició sino hasta la revolución cultural.

Es un show no es una práctica real
Não se trata de show e sim, de uma demonstração de uma cultura.
That guy dodging the spears,wow.If Kung fu would have been kept in its original form,we wouldn’t have the BS that we have today.
No wonder why they have never won a fight against Japanese or European
I'm Chinese, I'll fight you
As far as Japanese are concerned, they never attacked China until they had a modern army.

definitely they will be killed by japanese samurai.
when you fight with enemy you cant let him see your back.
