- Tan Jia Quan "Tan Family Boxing"
The Tan family of Yongtai practice various local arts which have evolved over generations to be unique to their villages. Their primary art is Hu Zun Quan with some influences from other local arts. In addition to Hu Zun the Tan family is known to be one of the main surviving lineages of Niu Fa "Ox Method" boxing (not shown in this video or any public demonstrations that I could find).
The Tan clan has a long history of involvement in the military going back millennia to Tan Daoji famed strategist and feared general of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms period.
The Yongtai branch of the Tan clan trace their origins back to Ming dynasty general Tan Mande who moved his family from Hebei to Fujian. His son Tan Jizong was known for his martial skills and was appointed to the feared Jin Yi Wei imperial secret police. Tan Jizong's grandson Tan Xingzu passed the provincial martial exams. At that time in the early 16th century Fujian was having trouble with attacks from pirates. So Tan Xingzu helped by recruiting local troops and leading them to fight against the pirates. Later because of his efforts in organizing the local military and militias to fight he was given a sign with the words "righteous official" engraved upon it by the emperor.
The Tan family of Yongtai today traces their martial lineage back to Tan Xingzu claiming that the Ming dynasty military empty hand and weapon skills he taught were passed on in the family and that later they were mixed with local boxing methods that were absorbed into the village over the centuries.
Today Tan family martial arts are still practiced in two neighboring Tan clan villages in Tongan township.
Their martial arts contain a large number of boxing sets, the main focus being tiger boxing but the Tan family also preserve a lineage of Niu Fa "Ox Method Boxing"as well as some other forms. In addition various traditional strength training methods and skills are practiced as well as a range of traditional weapons.
Brilliant! Thanks for sharing 👊
Westerners watching often misunderstand these forms.
They claim this doesn't look like real fighting and mock these forms.
The true purpose of Chinese forms and Chinese influenced Okinawan katas is to cultivate tendon strength, structural integrity, lung strength and strong circulatory system.
These forms are performed slowly under full dynamic tension when pulling, to grind muscles against muscles, then bursting outward to cultivate fa jing .
The fingers and hands are tensed via dynamic tension during Ji Lik training to cultivate tendon strength for powerful grip.
In demos or in teaching only movement of form they'll be demonstrated quickly for brevity sake.
But in real training these are performed very slowly under full body dynamic tension.
Very painful burning, much tension, complete body workout til complete exhaustion when properly training Chinese forms & Okinawan sanchin kata, respectfully.
This is the true power of these arts.
Just punching a bag, doing Calistenics, lifting weights, grappling doesn't cultivate tendons and explosive fa jing in the same way.
Static tension holds and very slow moving dynamic tension training gets alot of blood to tendons that don't get much blood supply during Calistenics & weight lifting.
So western combat sports athletes too often suffer rotator cuff surgeries and torn/snapped tendons because they lack this knowledge and arrogantly mock this training due to ignorance.
Now you've just been given closed door knowledge, for free, in a RUclips comment, but because people do not value that which is freely given it'll be like casting pearls to swine or giving a holy thing to a canine. The value shall go unnoticed and the closed door knowledge wasted upon the western minded readers.

Okay, I get what you mean that these forms are for strength and conditioning. But in such a venue where people are supposed to demonstrate their skills, shouldn't they be demonstrating the results of those conditioning? In such a demonstration, you wouldn't get your point across by showing normal drills the practitioners do everyday
for most of the audience, unless you also practice these forms yourself, you wouldn't be able to see, let alone feel the dynamic tensions these guys are supposedly experiencing in their bodies.
Good analysis bro, Okinawan and Southern Chinese styles are what is called "Dirty boxing" and was designed to fight and injure an opponent, not combat sport.
The closed door is not wasted on me. I practice these forms (Feeding Crane, Choy Li Fut, and Okinawan Karate) slowly and am amazed at the workout you get when practicing these at what I like to call "Tai Chi Speed". When done with dynamic tension and breathing, my heartrate is in the cardio zone even though to a person watching me doing the forms, it does not look like I am doing much.
Спасибо очень интересно!
Thank you.
Excelent assim Tiger And Crane boxing, #gusmilazzo
Amazing!!!
Totally totally agree. One century from now so much of of the authentic CMA will be lost forever and for two essential reasons: those outside of Chinese are too dumb to ever understand these treasures, whilst the Chinese by and large also fail to care about their own culture.
They use the same boxing guard as uechi ryu. Interesting...
Fuzhou is where Uechi studied. Tiger, and Whooping Crane are the main styles that are at the base of Uechi and Goju.
'similar'. The Uechi claw hand is more 'pronouned'
San chin is a Qi Gong.
@@kevionrogers2605 Whooping Came later than the Crane Uechi's master studied
Amazing
Amazing in terms of? Guarding, aiming, striking, blocking positions all wrong. I can say these guys don't know how to apply the kungfu that they train daily, only posing. Despite all the unique names, it's just crane fist + tiger fist + luohan fist that they don't know how to apply nor having the initiative to figure out how to apply avoiding full contact sparring entirely
@@jayjay53313 It's amazing, there are a lot of people
@@boluo5786 yes, they are there accompanying their children, spouse, siblings, parents that took part in this boring dull competition. Many weren't enjoying the event anyway. Kungfu is badly corrupted nowadays, nothing to learn nor see from this
@@jayjay53313 You are right on a few points nowadays, it is difficult to find real practitioner who masters their arts. martial arts have become a business, and true practitioners as well as true styles are scarce. characters like gu ru zhang or Lin Jinling etc are rare in our time. unfortunately there are a lot of people who say they are masters but do not even master a technique, he masters money that's all, it's a reality. now when i say it's amazing it's because i'm a respectful person.
@@boluo5786 easy to tell whether a kungfu school is McDojo or hardcore by looking at the students and master. If they are all flabby or skinny without muscle could conclude they didn't train anything. If the they are just fit, they do stretch and do punches/kicks. If numbers of students are muscular and tough, confirmed there's harsh conditioning and full contact fighting.
Boring. Nothing amazing or extraordinary, just typical southern Shaolin chuan fa. Except the extraordinarily bad music in the background. It seems all you have to do is come from China, demonstrate your martial art, and people will swoon at the sight. Such hysterics do nothing for the growth of the art. A little like being star struck when meeting some actor while in Hollywood. Meh.... ! All the same we appreciate your sharing.
All that cinisism will get you killed
