Jeff said Sifu Greg is 52. Very inspiring to see how slick and fast he stays at this age. Head movement, footwork and counters are crisp just like a boxer. Fighting him when he was in his 20-30s must have been a death sentence. 😅
Thanks for the positive comment, and support 🤙🤙🤙
Agree !!!
Not really death sentence. Most martial artists are gentle, not barbaric.
@@Sang_Akrobatis 🙏🙏🙏
That's what sparring everyday does to a man
The first guy which Jeff Chan sparred is tough. He's fast.
Thanks. 🤙🤙🤙 I appreciate the great comment 💪
I'm really happy you got to do a collab with Jeff Chan, sparring was the only thing that was missing here and you showed it to us the best way possible!
I love this! Glad to see other Kung Fu stylists training with fighters from other systems!
Right on!!! 🤙🤙🤙🙏
Its what we need. Hopefully Jeff can take what he learn and apply it in his fights even if he doesn't call himself a Kung Fu practitioners we can recognize what techniques work or how to improve them through him because he has that experience and technical knowledge.
As a practitioner if traditional martial arts, this is a blessing to see. Only a few close friends have seen and/or understood the capability of okinawan karate. But ive also boxed for many uears, so thats helped hybridize my style
Awesome. Thank you for enjoying and encouraging these types of positive encounters. This was a great collaboration. Appreciate the support 🙏🙏🙏🤙
That’s the way to do it if you mix boxing with traditional martial arts you’ll be great at combat/sparing
awesome rounds :). Kung Fu is legit!
Appreciate you Coach Jeff🤙🤙🤙. Too many people misunderstand real kung fu and how effective it is. Appreciate the support and the opportunity to bring what we do to the RUclips community. 🤙🤙🤙🙏
Considering one can attain "Gung fu" in anything, I would say that one could find Gung Fu in MMA.
Absolutely correct 🤙🤙🤙
I love this. I love seeing traditional Chinese martial arts being practiced live, as a living art. I wish my kung fu experiences involved live sparring!
Thank you. Chinese martial arts should have always been trained as a live art. Fighting and sparring is a sure way to pressure test your material. Thank you again for the support 🤙🤙🤙
Sanda looks so fun, great content!
Found you through Jeff’s vid. You guys are awesome:) I’ve been dabbling with many different styles through my life. Martial arts is life. Guess I was an mma fighter before I rented my first ufc Vhs in early 90’s. Now at 48 I wish I was as crisp as you sifu:) Keep up the great work! Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Greetings and thank you for watching my content. I appreciate the kind words and the great comment. Blessings and light Sir 🤙🤙🤙
I'd love to see this with open finger gloves, Kuoshu rules letai fighting.
It was a great time. Jeff was awesome, and everyone was working and not trying to hurt each other. The main thing is to bring Real martial artists together and have them understand that we are more similar than different regardless of style. Thanks again for watching and supporting. I appreciate it 🤙🤙🤙
I hope this channel blows up, great content
Wow. Thanks 🤙. Appreciate that 🙏🙏🙏💪
@@AuthenticShaolin Keep going man, glad to see someone showing why traditional martial arts deserve more respect, I hope the culture changes someday
We also train our drills on both sides, good stuff. Keep it up !
Thanks so much. So important training on both sides 🤙🤙🤙🙏
Great head movement and distance control Shihgung Gregg. You can see the switch fighting works exceptionally well.
Thank you brother. Most fighters don't switch, but it's very effective, especially for one sided fighters. Thanks again for your support and for watching our content🤙🤙🤙
Respect !!! that was great !!!!
Thanks for enjoying the content 🤙🤙🤙💪
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 awesome!
Yes it was💪💪💪
Outstanding!
Thank you🤙🤙🤙. It was a great time.
Great stuff
Thanks🤙. Appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏
Just subscribed to your channel. 💪🤙
Awesome!
🙏🙏🙏💪
Sifu I hope you can also show us a techniques for knife defense. Thanks
Yellow shirt did great! That was a beautiful sweep
Awesome. Thank you. That was Lao Shi Ryan. Very proud of these guys 🤙🤙🤙
Do you know any king fu schools in Jersey that train like this I wanted to learn kung fu or mma I always liked king fu
anything of any focuses would hold up to mma in long term if u actually spar with variety of people,test ur strategies & conditioning + constantly reflect and revalidate urself, even if u ain't pro,u will be decently good anyway.
IT wont matter what u call ur style or what u choose to glorify as a focus in fighting skills to name ur school, if u have been going through the above lately and let ur friends/students/fighters do the same with humbleness and always ready be humbled, then i doubt u would suck
Probably the simplest way to put it
Respect to all of you and great sparring sessions💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching🤙.
Appreciate it 🙏
LOVED 😍😍the Sanda!
Thank you 🤙
@Authentic Shaolin Kung Fu most welcome. It was awesome. I miss it.
9:02-9:06 and 9:18 are very beautiful. Somehow I'm getting the impression that martial arts is 50% distance control and 50% cardio?
The one who controls the distance wins the fight, after that it’s you’re skills being a complete fighter and then comes back to the person
Footwork and distance helps control the fight, but all aspects of the fighter makes him/ her a great fighter. Experience, time, dedication to your craft, and being a continuous student creates amazing warriors🤙🤙🤙. Thanks for watching and supporting 🙏
Of course it does. it's been around too long not to.
💯 % 🤙🤙🤙💪
It was watching Jeff sparring with you guys on his channel that brought me here. 🤘
Awesome. Welcome to the channel🤙. Please subscribe so you get the most recent vids coming out🙏. Thank you for the support 💪💪💪
The Sifu is amazing!!. What is the difference between this style and Sanda?
Thank you🤙. No difference. Sanda means free fighting, which means to take your style of martial arts and utilize it. We train Traditional Northern Shaolin and use the techniques in our system to fight. Thanks again for watching and supporting 💪💪💪🤙
@@AuthenticShaolin Thanks for the reply. You are definitely a true martial artist. I'm going to follow your channel
@@juanignaciobarberis7595 awesome! Thanks for the follow. I appreciate you being a part of our growing family 🤙🤙🤙🙏
You use Sanda?
Yes sir🤙
4:43 dang if the punch did without the glove, his knuckles will hurt so bad. That part of head is the bodypart that have hardest bone
Absolutely 🤙🤙🤙.
Will there be a myth Buster about Crouch Stance in the future?
Probably not lol, but we will have more myth busters vids coming out. Thanks for your input 👍.
Where is the difference? I can see a slight difference but it’s like doing Sambo rather than shaolin
That's the true point. Slight differences in the entry and execution of the technique. We are more similar than different. All the training I do is norther shaolin ( lohan chuan ), but adaptability is key when fighting different styles. We do Sanda / Lei tai. Thanks for watching and appreciate the input. 🤙
@@AuthenticShaolin hey thanks for the reply, I have done southern praying mantis taught by sifu tony Clements not sure if u heard of him he’s a great Sifu also mixed with someone shaolin, thanks
That's because most attacks were dodged/slipped. Distance control is still meta. Look for strikes from both sides that were responded with blocking instead of dodging. There's a lot in the pair of 8:22.
@MrHacked19 Awesome🤙. The purpose of my channel is bring martial arts together and not have us separated. Thanks again for watching and for being a martial brother 🤙🙏
@@AuthenticShaolin thank you
Shaolin what?
Lohan chuan is the base of our training. 🤙
Zero shaolin Kung fu was shown this day
This is beautiful! 🤜🫷
Thank you for your support 🤙🤙🤙
