Learn Yan Shou Gong online from Master Yap Boh Heong. Click on the link to enroll: bit.ly/3K9w9AC Yan Shou Gong 延壽功 is an Authentic Nei Gong practice traditionally taught to only the most senior monks in the Southern Shaolin Temple. Each of the Yan Shou Gong sets condenses the best practices of the Nei Gong arts, making them: • Easy to learn. • Quick to practice. • Produce real internal skills. Many types of Nei/Qi Gong practices typically take years before a student feels any benefits from the training; Or even worse, the methods don’t produce any results. However, this is not the case with Yan Shou Gong, as the student will notice the benefits instantly, and in most instances, it can begin to deliver results within weeks. Yan Shou Gong also emphasizes the development of kinetic energy and the mind; in Chinese martial arts, these terms are referred to as Jin 勁 and Yi 意. It also teaches the practitioner how to perform techniques such as Grounding, Rooting, and Centering, creating awareness and mindfulness of being in the body. This can improve a practitioner’s martial abilities, but it can also help relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. The comprehensive instruction provided in this course is ideal for martial artists who want to study an authentic Nei Gong system/internal art. It is also suitable for those who have previously been too busy, living a stressed-out lifestyle, and now need to work on improving their health. Inner-door Students Group: As well as the comprehensive video instruction provided within the course, Master Yap has created a private group to personally guide students studying the Yan Shou Gong (Shaolin Nei Gong) course with him. Access to the group is exclusive and only available to students who enroll in this course. Students can use the group to ask questions, discuss the video lessons and share their training experiences with the other pupils. Master Yap will be on hand to answer any questions and share new video lessons with the group. Click on the link to enroll: bit.ly/3K9w9AC
Gotta love it when a martial arts class turns into massage therapy for a little bit. It's so cool to see how interrelated these different arts are. I'd love to learn more about this!
I did a lot of bare knuckle full contact fighting for years, and I used a lot of fighting techniques in my side job as a masseuse. You’ed be amazed at how the two skills intermix.
There's a saying in Mandarin, 十指连心，which literally means "ten fingers connect to the heart". Figuratively, it's to describe the closeness of family relationships. If one member(finger) hurt, your heart will be in pain. There's also another saying, 妙手仁心，which literally means "excellent hands benevolent heart", but is often translated as "healing hands", because it is the title of a modern Chinese medical drama. Intention comes from the heart, and is expressed throught the hands. That's why in Chinese culture, arts and crafts are also considered to be good spiritual cultivation.
Wonderful sharing again. I've been praticing taichi, then, qi gong, for more than 20 years. But feeling that there was something missing. Last year I found a video on The Martial Man with master Yap and I was so happy and moved: it was excatly What I lack! I'm longing to attend the online courses and , maybe one day go to Malaysia!! I have to work hard before, but i really want to learn (as a practionner and as a healer). Again, thank you so much!! Why not visit us here in LaReunion Island? A very nice place!!
Thanks as always for bringing such amazing content & connecting the world to such amazing masters and lineages 🙏 be proud of your journey & don't be harsh towards yourself 😊👊, say hi to Master Yap from me & my wife ❤️💯
Specifically, I think it has something to do with bioelectricity and biomagnetism of the human body. In recent years, there are breakthrough researches on such topics, and I think scientists eventually would dive into these traditions and unravel how it all works. For example, a leading biologist talks about bioelectricy: ruclips.net/video/ZSddchIGNG0/видео.html&ab_channel=LexClips. There is no coincidence that in Daoist neigong classically describes true Yang Qi as liquid-like fast electrical-type current and true Yin Qi as a heavy gathering and containing field.
That was very interesting, it looks like that’s the kind of healing work that was the foundation for Taizu of Wuzuquan, so also helps me understand some of the principles of how Taizu should work at the Qi level.
Хорошая работа с внутренней энергией. Нэйгун ,Кхи Конг, И Кен. Эта техника есть во многих традиционных боевых искусствах. Путь познания этой техники долог.
This phenomena is more than just a little interesting. However, it seems that of all the skilled teachers of this Yi, all explain it with differences. No two teachers explain it the exact same way. I suspect that this is due to each person having a different experience of both Yi and Chi. Perhaps the Martial Man can convince four or five of the worlds leading exponents of this skill set to gather together for Q&A so as to distribute with greater clarity the acme of our internal arts? Thanks for sharing with us. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association
Yi is your intent mind. Intent and logic mind. You have three minds: Yi, Shen and Xin. Shen is your spirit mind and Xin is your emotional mind sometimes called heart mind. Yi (Intent mind) directs the Qi (essence) and the Qi directs the Li (power).

Hi Martial Man - I've paid for the first set of Yan Shou Gong, accessed the first ten videos or so, and subsequently gotten myself locked out! Now, I can't get back in - maybe this is user error on my part, but password reset isn't working (no reset links are being sent to me) and I'm at a loss. There also don't seem to be any contact links on the entire Martial Man site. What now?
Hi Martial man don't always get time to watch your videos. I liked this one and a few others like Sam Chin. Just curious does your channel exclusively only focus on internal martial arts or do you ever interview combatants that helped build our Kung Fu history?
What are the odds of someone attacking you in such a clumsy or static manner? I'm sorry, but these things have to be demonstrated in more realistic fashion.
According to the Southern Shaolin teaching sequence, Yi comes after Jin which is after Li. Li leads to understanding Jin. Jin leads to understanding Yi.
Yi is intention. If you are familiar with breathing into the Dan Tien, the mind follows the breath down into the navel area. Instead of the Dan Tien, you would focus on the tip of the finger. In other words it is the transferring your awareness to various places within your own body. And where the Yi goes, the Chi will follow.
@@yukselp if you have properly cultivated structure and Yi to that level its my experience that your Yi can continue into the object you are connected to. Once in motion, it can’t help but continue moving.
Any muscle fighting skills can be lumped into Martial Art group. To differentiate Yi strength and Muscle strength based Martial Art, it would be proper and happily propose to you to name your camp as "Yi" Approach Martial Camp，or "Yi" Approach KungFu Camp，意門武術營，意門功夫營。 Approach = 門徑
Yes, it's extremely difficult, mainly because in order to use it properly you need to be extremely relaxed and fearless. All this under the stress of being attacked or even with your life at risk. It needs a lot of self knowledge and that's the most difficult feat your could embark on.
@@Antonio_Egea you don't get the point that in a real fight an opponent wouldn't just threw a straight punch and then stand still like stick. Also a real fight is never this clean because even if you are a trained boxer or wrestlet you will still have a high chances of getting hit so fr. This entire thing in the video is a total garbage
It’s not about applying subtle techniques on the street, mate. Street fighting is for street fights, subtle kungfu is for people who want something beyond mere fighting.
You could do that rolling in wing chun but it would be incorrect because you are leaving the line.... if you leave the line we train to use that against you... would love to see you do it...
What he is showing, is a Demo of Principles, and Methods... of channeling forces Internally (without mere muscle power). If the OP is just as Sensitive (high skill level), then the OP can remain relaxed.. and this Master would not easily be able to move the OP. If you were paying attention, you would realize this is already in Wing Chun's system. The problem is, that too many WC teachers have only been spreading the External... and not passing on the FULL true Internal teachings. I was fortunate to have one WC teacher, that taught one small part of the internal method... and I was able to eventually figure out the rest. That tends to happen, when the fighters you spar against most often, are twice your mass and strength... with decent skill levels. Either you learn the proper internal ways.. or you are getting shut down and Blasted all over the place. Let me tell you the difference, in the most WC of ways. When I used to use WC... I used hard force in my arms, to do something like a Jut Sao (full power). It seemed to deflect just fine that way... and for the longest time, I thought that was exactly how it was supposed to operate. But when I used the proper Internal Power... and only used about 15% power levels... and the MMA fighters arm that I connected with... it nearly shattered his wristbone. He was instantly in pain... and within less than an hours time, the injury swelled up nearly double in size. He was in serious pain, for many days to follow... and I barely put any Jing into it. With Internal power... you are not just using your arms... Instead.. you are using your entire body mass (in the most optimal, and explosive, way possible). Your arm might weight 15 lbs... But thats is nothing, compared to my 180 lb "Arm" attack (full body unified mass). Its certainly a lot more complex than just that. And, it takes slow motion training, found in the first form (Three Prayers to Buddha section, that is repeated 3 times... that section is supposed to take about 16 min long... and you should repeat the entire form 4x in a row, without rest.. to extend your time to a bit over 1hr, as a minimum). It also requires proper deep breathing (audibly loud, in through the nose, out through the mouth), to develop the needed increased blood circulation channels. And again... that is just the start. You know, there are a lot of seemingly conflicting teachings in WC. For example... they teach the high horse stance for the majority of the art... BUT... look at the Long Pole form... and you learn to use the low horse stance. If its acceptable to use this with the pole... is it not acceptable to use it in fighting barehand? Ive tried it, and it works like a charm. You use it as part of a close-range counter-strike... and it becomes inescapable, with the depth and power to take them right off their feet (the quick level change, also makes it nearly impossible for them to counterstrike you, in the process). A lot of WC teachers preach the importance of staying on the centerline. But when you do Chi Sao... you are using two different lines, at the shoulder-lines. Both are equally important, for different situations / uses. WC teachers often stress the importance and advantages of straight line attacks. But in the later forms, you learn some circular strikes, body twisting, and other circular movements. Again, each have their purposes. What about Biu Gee (Finger Strikes)? Why isnt there a Toe-strike kick taught in WC? Its the exact same fighting Principle... just used with the leg. Ive also used this Toe-Kick, to stab a Kyokushin Karate instructors inner thigh muscle. It caused him to buckle slightly.. and he was temporarily unable to move for a few seconds... so I stepped in and did a few handstrikes, that he couldnt defend against, as he was he able to evade / move. It doesnt take that much more time, to condition the toes on the sandbags. It also extends your kicks potential range (another target I like, is the crease area of the hip fold, the abdomen, and of course... the groin). I could go on and on... about so many misunderstandings in WC... as well as so much that has been mis-interpreted, corrupted, and even forgotten / lost. Even hidden on purpose... from key teachers, themselves. Heck... look at Biu Gee. It trains the finger strikes... but, where is the Dim Mak point training, that goes along with it? You often see WC books that show these points... but... the teachers are not spilling that knowledge to the general students... as far as I know / have experienced.
With internal wing chun , you would sink and absorb, also you could redirect the energy into the othe person . This all comes from things such as 1700's white crane wing chun which has something called snake engine . Also there's a concept in jin within wing chun . I'd recommend watching Sifu Sergio videos .
@@TheeMrAbz I may look further but the stuff Sergio is doing is not consistent with HK Wing Chun.... It's simply not what we train and would be considered incorrect or simply outside the curriculum.... I'm a 2nd generation Ip practitioner btw...
@@johndough8115 >>What he is showing, is a Demo of Principles, and Methods... of channeling forces Internally (without mere muscle power). So "internal" means "without mere muscle power"? Very interesting, so the power is coming from someplace other than the muscles? Or you mean not relying on just muscles? Because everyone in just about every style understands the importance of structure on some level. Is THAT what enhances your so called "mere muscles"? And use of "concepts/principles"? You pontificate on this stuff as if to reveal something new, which is not new at all..in fact it's far from new. All Chinese Arts have tons of principles and concepts, also nothing new. However these concepts from one art to another may be very different or even contradict each other... In any case these concepts are far from fool-proof and very often fail students due to a lack of realistic training. >>If the OP is just as Sensitive (high skill level), then the OP can remain relaxed.. and this Master would not easily be able to move the OP. >>If you were paying attention, you would realize this is already in Wing Chun's system. We train students to relax starting on day one. And I was paying attention since that first day over 30 years ago, thanks for the tip though.. For starters it's simply not possible to do Wing Chun well if you are not relaxed. >>The problem is, that too many WC teachers have only been spreading the External... and not passing on the FULL true Internal teachings. Oh is THAT the problem?LOL Wow... So what exactly do you mean by "internal"? Ip Man never used the term and since we already established that being relaxed and using structure are critical parts of the system I need clarification on EXACTLY what you mean by Internal. Please post a link or clearly explain what internal is from a nuts and bolts perspective vs external... Moves seen in this video that leave the line are likely outside Wing Chun in terms of energy vector and system concepts. I'd love to roll with this guy and see if he can do what he does to his students to me... I realize that's not going to happen but it would be fun to experience... Wing Chun spends many hours/yrs refining how to generate pure direct linear energy aka "forward spring energy" .. It's refinement and sensitivity to such energy is key to doing the art but not its totality, meaning there are other elements that all fit together to create a Functional Wing Chun fighter... Other concepts or methods are not invalid but may be contradictory to Wing Chun's methods, which I am not convinced you understand... Tai Chi or Bagua simply use different ideas in a different way... A low Gwan horse stance is used to compensate for the extremely heavy weight of the Gwan... Using that stance while doing empty hand Wing Chun is peculiar at best and silly at worst.. If you don't understand what you're giving up then you need to review basic physics...or go train Shotokan and compare that to Wing Chun... A jut sao to "block"? Not very high level stuff there...depending on your meaning... Huge amounts of energy should never be needed, if it is you're doing something wrong and it has nothing to do with spooky "internal" vs "external" nonsense...
I have been training for a long time and I am 2nd generation Ip Man... I have asked many people to explain internal and I have yet to hear anyone do it... As such I tend to think it's nonsense...but I am open to seeing it or feeling it... Or seeing ANY example of it in real fighting...hell it's very hard to find any example of real and effective kung fu fighting in any sport fighting venue let alone pure "internal" Kung Fu. So please explain in scientific terms exactly what "internal" means and how it manifests in the physical world compared to "external"... Or if you simply mean good use of structure, position and energy, please just say that...
@@alvinsunassee4282 There are a lot of Bad martial artists in this world. Just like, there are a lot of bad cooks, poor artists, bad movie makers...etc. I could give 1000 people the challenge, to become an Olympic athlete (such as in Gymnastics).. and maybe 1 of them... MIGHT be able to pull it off, in a +5 yr period. Does that mean, that the art / instructions were bad? Nope. It means, that the students are Sh*t. I used to cross train in other arts, including Boxing, Karate, Muay Thai, TKD. Ive also learned other more rare arts methods, such as Shaolin longfist, Tai Chi, and a bunch of others... including a few weapons, such as Rope Dart, and Nunchaku. I used to spar against fighters of all the well known arts, including MMA fighters. And Ive also sparred against: Capoeira, Mantis, Eagle Claw, 5 Animal style, Shaun Fa, Shaolin Longfist, Kook Sul Wan, Wudang, Aikido, and a few others. Martial arts is pretty popular, in the city where I live... and there are a handful of artists here, that are extremely serious about their craft. Ive met, and sparred at least 5 Masterclass level (Flawless application) fighters to date... where as many artists might never meet a single Masterclass fighter, in their entire lives. Let me ask you... do you think a punch from one system is all that much different from another?! Why do you think a Karate punch, would be more or less powerful than a Boxer, or a Wing Chun punch? Its basically all of the same physics involved. Most of the power output, comes down to the kind of training you do... and how far you Push yourself... to get to a certain level of development. Many, if not the majority of WC practitioners... dont even train outside of class.. and most, dont even spar against non-WC fighters. Obviously, such amateurs, will easily fall to pieces, against the most simple of arts, such as Kickboxing or Muay Thai. They also often do not train enough conditioning, nor Fitness. Where as, I used to do a 1hr hardcore CORE workout, every day, would strike a hardpacked wall mounted sandbag for an hour session (or a free-hanging bag, filled with about 15 to 20 lbs of steel BBs), would heel kick a 4" diameter steel pole while wearing hard leather bottomed dress shoes (no padding, full power, full speed), do full Iron Body conditioning on EVERY part of my body... including chopping my own throat (full power, full speed). I also trained both in and out of classes... a minimum of 4 to 8hrs each day... 7 days a week, 365 days a year... for a solid 5yrs... before easing up on my training. (once you reach masterclass level.. you just need to keep your tools sharp... and so far less training time is needed). I also used to spar various fighters, every weekend. In fact... I made so many contacts, that I ended up forming a sparring group. We had a minimum of 15 different artists show up at every meet... to cross train + spar each other. I know for a fact, that at least two of these dudes, competed in full contact competitions, all over the states. Ive had a handful of fighters over at my house, to see what Kungfu training was actually like. None could keep up with my workout pace, let alone, anything else to follow. Even the MMA fighters, that were over 5 yrs younger than me. Id then ask them to hit the sandbag for 20 min without stopping, barefist... and you could easily tell that their fists were soft, and weak... and their efforts / willpower was very limited.. as they ended up pausing / taking breaks, despite being asked not to. Then I had one of them try hitting the "Iron Bag" (full of ball-bearings)... and after one mild hit.. the MMA fighter looked at me, like I was crazy. His baby soft fist, used to soft pillow coverings... stinging in pain, and Red from hard impact. One time I had one of my students follow me to one of my training routines, outdoors. There is a concrete racquetball wall, not too far from where I was living. I had him find a pair of hard leather dress shoes.. and we began. Flat foot kicks to the concrete wall... as fast and hard as possible... for a 15 min NONSTOP Set. No slowing down the speed... and no easing up on the Impact power. Less than a 2min rest, then swap legs. Each leg gets both a set from the REAR leg position, and the LEAD leg position. That is a little over 1hr, of nearly non-stop kicking. I used to do that every other day... for probably 3 solid months. He kicked the wall, and was shocked at how hard the impact was... and how much his foot stung and burned in pain... and I could tell that he didnt enjoy it, and... he was intentionally reducing his impacts from that point on. Meanwhile, my kicks were so powerful on impact... that it Echoed throughout the entire neighborhood, like a gunn being fired. I can generate more power from my close-range lead leg kicks, than many fighters can generate from their Rear leg kicks. But what do you expect? If you are used to kicking a soft pillow (heavy bag), with intermittent kicks whenever you feel like it... that isnt going to yield the same kinds of results. I too.. have a 6ft tall Muay Thai bag... and its good for developing Penetration depth. But its not good for overall Impact Power.. and there is virtually NO conditioning at all, from using it.. even if you kick it when it swings back towards yourself. One time, a fighter I used to spar often (whom I used to withhold my power, as not to intentionally cause injuries to him)... told me that WC was Sh*T, and So was I. So the next time we sparred, I gave him a tiny taste of that Kick training I spoke about earlier. He took one step towards me, while starting to throw a Cross. As his lead legs foot planted on the ground.. his kneecap was met by my stomping kick. I used only about 15% of what I was capable of delivering. That was still way too much. The dude, whom has a room full of 1st and 2nd place trophies from full contact competitions... whos limbs could fit 2 or 3 of my limbs within them... dropped to the mat like a Stone... and was SCREAMING, and crying a river of tears. This went on for about 5 full minutes, before two other dudes were able to help him hop off on one leg, back to his car. It took the dude a month to recover from the resulting injury... and I had barely even used a Fraction of what I was capable of releasing. But hey... tell you what... Try out at least One of those training methods described above. Get a pair of used hard leather bottomed dress shoes, and go heel+instep kick a telephone pole / tree for a full 1hr session, as described above. Full speed, Full impact.. no rests during the sets, no slowdown, no impact reductions. And then, go find a reputable Kung Fu school, and ask to try hitting a wall mounted sandbag for at least 30min (barefisted). See the difference in feel, and impact... as it feels like you are hitting a concrete wall... rather than a soft gushy heavy bag. And while you are there... might as well ask for a few personal demos. You might actually learn something... other than running your mouth, with Ignorant Assumptions, based on a bunch of clueless amateurs, looking like Clowns. And while your at it.. might as well try a slow motion pushup set. At least 10 seconds minimum going down, and 10 seconds up minimum. See how many you can do, compared to typical fast sets. If you can make it to 20... Id be surprised. Even more challenging, if you do the WC pushups... where you place your chest over both vertical fists, in the center of your body. If your knuckles are weak.. use carpet. If you have the ability... do then on hardwood, or concrete. Make sure to keep your elbows as close to the sides of your body, at all times. They should rub the sides of your ribcage, as you go up and down. Not point outwards like chicken wings. One part of the WC workout that I was taught, involved 3 sets of 100 crunches, followed immediately by 3 to 5 min of Leg Lifts & Lowers + Legs Spins (about the size of a basketball, staying about 3 inches away from the ground max), and at least one part at the end, where you hold your legs out, about 3" up from the ground... for at least 60 seconds minimum. When I got built up... I put on 15lb leg weights, when doing the leg lifts/spins, for the extra challenge. Try and replicate it, to see how good your core actually is. I also used to do Inverted pushups (handstand pushups), lightly sliding against a wall. (I was also able to walk at least 50 ft on my hands, at the time.. due to such training) Dont give me Excuses either. You have a big mouth... but the real question is... are you willing to exercise your muscles, more than your mouth, and keyboard fingers...
It looks like it until you experience it. Hell even when you do it still looks fake and you'll ask it to be done a dozen times to make sure you aren't going crazy lol. Hopefully one day you'll find a true master
Ah, sadly all such miraculous skills only work on Master's students. Quite a few times the student moved even before the Master applied any "yi" on him.
Not really. They workshop on everybody because it is science. Of course you have to train with reattive partners. But if you train immediately intensive, you can never understand it.
He studied Wing Chun but he stopped at the Sin Num Tao level because he said there’s so much involved at that level that most Wing Chun practioners don’t understand the inter-workings of Sin Num Tao. I believe he is the only one in the world who has studied Sin Num Tao at depth and feels Wing Chun practitioners should learn before moving to the next level.
This is the basics without fighting aspect. He teaches like 7 different styles of fighting using these principles each with a different flavor. Like 1 very linear "Taizu" and the other twists and coils "Lohan".... etc.
Cmon now man I get it that martial and spiritual go together but in a street fight or any other form of hand to hand combat it won’t work. Much respect to the master.
Unrealistic as is much of Chi Sao. Do a little hard contact, unscripted sparring. No one Bridges and just leaves their arm there and no one strikes with no forward cast of their body.

Yan Shou Gong 延壽功 is an Authentic Nei Gong practice traditionally taught to only the most senior monks in the Southern Shaolin Temple. Each of the Yan Shou Gong sets condenses the best practices of the Nei Gong arts, making them:
• Easy to learn.
• Quick to practice.
• Produce real internal skills.
Many types of Nei/Qi Gong practices typically take years before a student feels any benefits from the training; Or even worse, the methods don’t produce any results. However, this is not the case with Yan Shou Gong, as the student will notice the benefits instantly, and in most instances, it can begin to deliver results within weeks.
Yan Shou Gong also emphasizes the development of kinetic energy and the mind; in Chinese martial arts, these terms are referred to as Jin 勁 and Yi 意. It also teaches the practitioner how to perform techniques such as Grounding, Rooting, and Centering, creating awareness and mindfulness of being in the body. This can improve a practitioner’s martial abilities, but it can also help relieve stress, anxiety, and depression.
The comprehensive instruction provided in this course is ideal for martial artists who want to study an authentic Nei Gong system/internal art. It is also suitable for those who have previously been too busy, living a stressed-out lifestyle, and now need to work on improving their health.

There is no coincidence that in Daoist neigong classically describes true Yang Qi as liquid-like fast electrical-type current and true Yin Qi as a heavy gathering and containing field.
In other words take control of spine of opponent through sensitivity 🙏🏼
Great video 🙏🏼
Good to see using martial art with qi qong.
That was very interesting, it looks like that’s the kind of healing work that was the foundation for Taizu of Wuzuquan, so also helps me understand some of the principles of how Taizu should work at the Qi level.
Thank you for the demo but you haven't shown us 'how' to do this. :(
Because it was a demonstration. Not a tutorial. What did you expect for free?
Thank you very much Sifu, really beautifull
❤ The influence of the fascia is fundamental. Exercises are helpful.😊
Absolutely!!
Great to watch.
Want to see more videos like this in this room like Master demonstrated.

This phenomena is more than just a little interesting. However, it seems that of all the skilled teachers of this Yi, all explain it with differences. No two teachers explain it the exact same way. I suspect that this is due to each person having a different experience of both Yi and Chi. Perhaps the Martial Man can convince four or five of the worlds leading exponents of this skill set to gather together for Q&A so as to distribute with greater clarity the acme of our internal arts? Thanks for sharing with us.

5 instructors at the same place, all sharing their knowledge… that sounds like The Martial Camp 😉 themartialcamp.com
Yi is your intent mind. Intent and logic mind.
You have three minds: Yi, Shen and Xin. Shen is your spirit mind and Xin is your emotional mind sometimes called heart mind.
Yi (Intent mind) directs the Qi (essence) and the Qi directs the Li (power).
@@THEMARTIALMAN On RUclips discussing amongst themselves their understanding for our benefit. Some of us can barely afford our rent let alone airfare to Thailand, the cost of the camp, and other expenses. That was the intent behind my statement. Something concise, something for the everyday student. All the best.
@@THEMARTIALMAN That initial demonstration of how you made his shoulder, arm, hip and feet 'stop responding; looked very impressive.
How do you achieve that initial connection to the part you want to affect and 'stop it working' ?
By yi he means focus/atention?? Like feeling your own hand but you feel the other person's hand like we are the same thing??
Thank you 🙏
Any time!

How do you develop Yi energy? I think it is not included in wing chun, is it?
Exellent ! Now i know there is 6 energy and what they do! Tks sifu🤝🙏
🙌
There are Eight Energies, not Six. All Eight Energies are actually only One. One Energy, Eight Manifestations
where is the school of this master located?
we are based in Malaysia
Wowww this is good
Hi Martial Man - I've paid for the first set of Yan Shou Gong, accessed the first ten videos or so, and subsequently gotten myself locked out! Now, I can't get back in - maybe this is user error on my part, but password reset isn't working (no reset links are being sent to me) and I'm at a loss. There also don't seem to be any contact links on the entire Martial Man site. What now?
Face it buddy, you got scammed by a bullshido artist.
OMG this is awesome!
I wish there was a teacher in the Indianapolis area.
It would’ve been nice for the student to explain the feelings he was getting.
Hi Martial man don't always get time to watch your videos. I liked this one and a few others like Sam Chin. Just curious does your channel exclusively only focus on internal martial arts or do you ever interview combatants that helped build our Kung Fu history?
For a long time I ignored RUclips recommending this channel videos to me, because I thought it is called "Marital Man".
What are the odds of someone attacking you in such a clumsy or static manner?
I'm sorry, but these things have to be demonstrated in more realistic fashion.
5:45 He says: "I put Yi in my finger". How?
According to the Southern Shaolin teaching sequence, Yi comes after Jin which is after Li. Li leads to understanding Jin. Jin leads to understanding Yi.
Yi is intention. If you are familiar with breathing into the Dan Tien, the mind follows the breath down into the navel area. Instead of the Dan Tien, you would focus on the tip of the finger. In other words it is the transferring your awareness to various places within your own body. And where the Yi goes, the Chi will follow.
@@josephsnodgrass146 Is sending chi to fingers enough or should I put an intent to relax other persons facia, or (martially) to move his body?
@@yukselp if you have properly cultivated structure and Yi to that level its my experience that your Yi can continue into the object you are connected to. Once in motion, it can’t help but continue moving.
I guess you better go to class and find out you won’t learn it sitting on the couch!
Any muscle fighting skills can be lumped into Martial Art group.
To differentiate Yi strength and Muscle strength based Martial Art, it would be proper and happily propose to you to name your camp as "Yi" Approach Martial Camp，or "Yi" Approach KungFu Camp，意門武術營，意門功夫營。
Approach = 門徑
The Martial Camp is a 14 day event featuring five masters of various arts. You can find out more about the event here: themartialcamp.com
God help anyone that tries to apply this in the street.
Yes, it's extremely difficult, mainly because in order to use it properly you need to be extremely relaxed and fearless. All this under the stress of being attacked or even with your life at risk. It needs a lot of self knowledge and that's the most difficult feat your could embark on.
@@Antonio_Egea you don't get the point that in a real fight an opponent wouldn't just threw a straight punch and then stand still like stick.
Also a real fight is never this clean because even if you are a trained boxer or wrestlet you will still have a high chances of getting hit so fr. This entire thing in the video is a total garbage
Yep that's when you get a rude awakening
This is like some Adam Mizner... stuff
It’s not about applying subtle techniques on the street, mate.
Street fighting is for street fights, subtle kungfu is for people who want something beyond mere fighting.
And apparantly these techniques don't work on people who don't believe or people who have their tongue in the wrong position 😂😂😂
Actually it's not truw
You could do that rolling in wing chun but it would be incorrect because you are leaving the line.... if you leave the line we train to use that against you... would love to see you do it...
What he is showing, is a Demo of Principles, and Methods... of channeling forces Internally (without mere muscle power). If the OP is just as Sensitive (high skill level), then the OP can remain relaxed.. and this Master would not easily be able to move the OP. If you were paying attention, you would realize this is already in Wing Chun's system. The problem is, that too many WC teachers have only been spreading the External... and not passing on the FULL true Internal teachings.
I was fortunate to have one WC teacher, that taught one small part of the internal method... and I was able to eventually figure out the rest. That tends to happen, when the fighters you spar against most often, are twice your mass and strength... with decent skill levels. Either you learn the proper internal ways.. or you are getting shut down and Blasted all over the place.
Let me tell you the difference, in the most WC of ways. When I used to use WC... I used hard force in my arms, to do something like a Jut Sao (full power). It seemed to deflect just fine that way... and for the longest time, I thought that was exactly how it was supposed to operate. But when I used the proper Internal Power... and only used about 15% power levels... and the MMA fighters arm that I connected with... it nearly shattered his wristbone. He was instantly in pain... and within less than an hours time, the injury swelled up nearly double in size. He was in serious pain, for many days to follow... and I barely put any Jing into it. With Internal power... you are not just using your arms... Instead.. you are using your entire body mass (in the most optimal, and explosive, way possible). Your arm might weight 15 lbs... But thats is nothing, compared to my 180 lb "Arm" attack (full body unified mass).
Its certainly a lot more complex than just that. And, it takes slow motion training, found in the first form (Three Prayers to Buddha section, that is repeated 3 times... that section is supposed to take about 16 min long... and you should repeat the entire form 4x in a row, without rest.. to extend your time to a bit over 1hr, as a minimum). It also requires proper deep breathing (audibly loud, in through the nose, out through the mouth), to develop the needed increased blood circulation channels. And again... that is just the start.
You know, there are a lot of seemingly conflicting teachings in WC. For example... they teach the high horse stance for the majority of the art... BUT... look at the Long Pole form... and you learn to use the low horse stance. If its acceptable to use this with the pole... is it not acceptable to use it in fighting barehand? Ive tried it, and it works like a charm. You use it as part of a close-range counter-strike... and it becomes inescapable, with the depth and power to take them right off their feet (the quick level change, also makes it nearly impossible for them to counterstrike you, in the process).
A lot of WC teachers preach the importance of staying on the centerline. But when you do Chi Sao... you are using two different lines, at the shoulder-lines. Both are equally important, for different situations / uses.
WC teachers often stress the importance and advantages of straight line attacks. But in the later forms, you learn some circular strikes, body twisting, and other circular movements. Again, each have their purposes.
What about Biu Gee (Finger Strikes)? Why isnt there a Toe-strike kick taught in WC? Its the exact same fighting Principle... just used with the leg. Ive also used this Toe-Kick, to stab a Kyokushin Karate instructors inner thigh muscle. It caused him to buckle slightly.. and he was temporarily unable to move for a few seconds... so I stepped in and did a few handstrikes, that he couldnt defend against, as he was he able to evade / move. It doesnt take that much more time, to condition the toes on the sandbags. It also extends your kicks potential range (another target I like, is the crease area of the hip fold, the abdomen, and of course... the groin).
I could go on and on... about so many misunderstandings in WC... as well as so much that has been mis-interpreted, corrupted, and even forgotten / lost. Even hidden on purpose... from key teachers, themselves.
Heck... look at Biu Gee. It trains the finger strikes... but, where is the Dim Mak point training, that goes along with it? You often see WC books that show these points... but... the teachers are not spilling that knowledge to the general students... as far as I know / have experienced.
With internal wing chun , you would sink and absorb, also you could redirect the energy into the othe person . This all comes from things such as 1700's white crane wing chun which has something called snake engine . Also there's a concept in jin within wing chun . I'd recommend watching Sifu Sergio videos .
@@TheeMrAbz I may look further but the stuff Sergio is doing is not consistent with HK Wing Chun.... It's simply not what we train and would be considered incorrect or simply outside the curriculum.... I'm a 2nd generation Ip practitioner btw...
@@johndough8115 >>What he is showing, is a Demo of Principles, and Methods... of channeling forces Internally (without mere muscle power).
So "internal" means "without mere muscle power"? Very interesting, so the power is coming from someplace other than the muscles? Or you mean not relying on just muscles? Because everyone in just about every style understands the importance of structure on some level. Is THAT what enhances your so called "mere muscles"?
And use of "concepts/principles"? You pontificate on this stuff as if to reveal something new, which is not new at all..in fact it's far from new. All Chinese Arts have tons of principles and concepts, also nothing new.
However these concepts from one art to another may be very different or even contradict each other... In any case these concepts are far from
fool-proof and very often fail students due to a lack of realistic training.
>>If the OP is just as Sensitive (high skill level), then the OP can remain relaxed.. and this Master would not easily be able to move the OP.
>>If you were paying attention, you would realize this is already in Wing Chun's system.
We train students to relax starting on day one. And I was paying attention since that first day over 30 years ago, thanks for the tip though..
For starters it's simply not possible to do Wing Chun well if you are not relaxed.
>>The problem is, that too many WC teachers have only been spreading the External... and not passing on the FULL true Internal teachings.
Oh is THAT the problem?LOL Wow... So what exactly do you mean by "internal"? Ip Man never used the term and since we already established that being relaxed and using structure are critical parts of the system I need clarification on EXACTLY what you mean by Internal. Please post a link or clearly explain what internal is from a nuts and bolts perspective vs external...
Moves seen in this video that leave the line are likely outside Wing Chun in terms of energy vector and system concepts. I'd love to roll with this guy and see if he can do what he does to his students to me... I realize that's not going to happen but it would be fun to experience... Wing Chun spends many hours/yrs refining how to generate pure direct linear energy aka "forward spring energy" .. It's refinement and sensitivity to such energy is key to doing the art but not its totality, meaning there are other elements that all fit together to create a Functional Wing Chun fighter... Other concepts or methods are not invalid but may be contradictory to Wing Chun's methods, which I am not convinced you understand... Tai Chi or Bagua simply use different ideas in a different way...
A low Gwan horse stance is used to compensate for the extremely heavy weight of the Gwan... Using that stance while doing empty hand Wing Chun is peculiar at best and silly at worst.. If you don't understand what you're giving up then you need to review basic physics...or go train Shotokan and compare that to Wing Chun...
A jut sao to "block"? Not very high level stuff there...depending on your meaning... Huge amounts of energy should never be needed, if it is you're doing something wrong and it has nothing to do with spooky "internal" vs "external" nonsense...
I have been training for a long time and I am 2nd generation Ip Man... I have asked many people to explain internal and I have yet to hear anyone do it...
As such I tend to think it's nonsense...but I am open to seeing it or feeling it... Or seeing ANY example of it in real fighting...hell it's very hard to
find any example of real and effective kung fu fighting in any sport fighting venue let alone pure "internal" Kung Fu.
So please explain in scientific terms exactly what "internal" means and how it manifests in the physical world compared to "external"... Or if you simply mean
good use of structure, position and energy, please just say that...
@@alvinsunassee4282 There are a lot of Bad martial artists in this world. Just like, there are a lot of bad cooks, poor artists, bad movie makers...etc. I could give 1000 people the challenge, to become an Olympic athlete (such as in Gymnastics).. and maybe 1 of them... MIGHT be able to pull it off, in a +5 yr period. Does that mean, that the art / instructions were bad? Nope. It means, that the students are Sh*t.
I used to cross train in other arts, including Boxing, Karate, Muay Thai, TKD. Ive also learned other more rare arts methods, such as Shaolin longfist, Tai Chi, and a bunch of others... including a few weapons, such as Rope Dart, and Nunchaku. I used to spar against fighters of all the well known arts, including MMA fighters. And Ive also sparred against: Capoeira, Mantis, Eagle Claw, 5 Animal style, Shaun Fa, Shaolin Longfist, Kook Sul Wan, Wudang, Aikido, and a few others. Martial arts is pretty popular, in the city where I live... and there are a handful of artists here, that are extremely serious about their craft. Ive met, and sparred at least 5 Masterclass level (Flawless application) fighters to date... where as many artists might never meet a single Masterclass fighter, in their entire lives.
Let me ask you... do you think a punch from one system is all that much different from another?! Why do you think a Karate punch, would be more or less powerful than a Boxer, or a Wing Chun punch? Its basically all of the same physics involved. Most of the power output, comes down to the kind of training you do... and how far you Push yourself... to get to a certain level of development.
Many, if not the majority of WC practitioners... dont even train outside of class.. and most, dont even spar against non-WC fighters. Obviously, such amateurs, will easily fall to pieces, against the most simple of arts, such as Kickboxing or Muay Thai. They also often do not train enough conditioning, nor Fitness. Where as, I used to do a 1hr hardcore CORE workout, every day, would strike a hardpacked wall mounted sandbag for an hour session (or a free-hanging bag, filled with about 15 to 20 lbs of steel BBs), would heel kick a 4" diameter steel pole while wearing hard leather bottomed dress shoes (no padding, full power, full speed), do full Iron Body conditioning on EVERY part of my body... including chopping my own throat (full power, full speed). I also trained both in and out of classes... a minimum of 4 to 8hrs each day... 7 days a week, 365 days a year... for a solid 5yrs... before easing up on my training. (once you reach masterclass level.. you just need to keep your tools sharp... and so far less training time is needed). I also used to spar various fighters, every weekend. In fact... I made so many contacts, that I ended up forming a sparring group. We had a minimum of 15 different artists show up at every meet... to cross train + spar each other. I know for a fact, that at least two of these dudes, competed in full contact competitions, all over the states.
Ive had a handful of fighters over at my house, to see what Kungfu training was actually like. None could keep up with my workout pace, let alone, anything else to follow. Even the MMA fighters, that were over 5 yrs younger than me. Id then ask them to hit the sandbag for 20 min without stopping, barefist... and you could easily tell that their fists were soft, and weak... and their efforts / willpower was very limited.. as they ended up pausing / taking breaks, despite being asked not to. Then I had one of them try hitting the "Iron Bag" (full of ball-bearings)... and after one mild hit.. the MMA fighter looked at me, like I was crazy. His baby soft fist, used to soft pillow coverings... stinging in pain, and Red from hard impact.
One time I had one of my students follow me to one of my training routines, outdoors. There is a concrete racquetball wall, not too far from where I was living. I had him find a pair of hard leather dress shoes.. and we began. Flat foot kicks to the concrete wall... as fast and hard as possible... for a 15 min NONSTOP Set. No slowing down the speed... and no easing up on the Impact power. Less than a 2min rest, then swap legs. Each leg gets both a set from the REAR leg position, and the LEAD leg position. That is a little over 1hr, of nearly non-stop kicking. I used to do that every other day... for probably 3 solid months. He kicked the wall, and was shocked at how hard the impact was... and how much his foot stung and burned in pain... and I could tell that he didnt enjoy it, and... he was intentionally reducing his impacts from that point on. Meanwhile, my kicks were so powerful on impact... that it Echoed throughout the entire neighborhood, like a gunn being fired. I can generate more power from my close-range lead leg kicks, than many fighters can generate from their Rear leg kicks.
But what do you expect? If you are used to kicking a soft pillow (heavy bag), with intermittent kicks whenever you feel like it... that isnt going to yield the same kinds of results. I too.. have a 6ft tall Muay Thai bag... and its good for developing Penetration depth. But its not good for overall Impact Power.. and there is virtually NO conditioning at all, from using it.. even if you kick it when it swings back towards yourself.
One time, a fighter I used to spar often (whom I used to withhold my power, as not to intentionally cause injuries to him)... told me that WC was Sh*T, and So was I. So the next time we sparred, I gave him a tiny taste of that Kick training I spoke about earlier. He took one step towards me, while starting to throw a Cross. As his lead legs foot planted on the ground.. his kneecap was met by my stomping kick. I used only about 15% of what I was capable of delivering. That was still way too much. The dude, whom has a room full of 1st and 2nd place trophies from full contact competitions... whos limbs could fit 2 or 3 of my limbs within them... dropped to the mat like a Stone... and was SCREAMING, and crying a river of tears. This went on for about 5 full minutes, before two other dudes were able to help him hop off on one leg, back to his car. It took the dude a month to recover from the resulting injury... and I had barely even used a Fraction of what I was capable of releasing.
But hey... tell you what... Try out at least One of those training methods described above. Get a pair of used hard leather bottomed dress shoes, and go heel+instep kick a telephone pole / tree for a full 1hr session, as described above. Full speed, Full impact.. no rests during the sets, no slowdown, no impact reductions. And then, go find a reputable Kung Fu school, and ask to try hitting a wall mounted sandbag for at least 30min (barefisted). See the difference in feel, and impact... as it feels like you are hitting a concrete wall... rather than a soft gushy heavy bag. And while you are there... might as well ask for a few personal demos. You might actually learn something... other than running your mouth, with Ignorant Assumptions, based on a bunch of clueless amateurs, looking like Clowns.
And while your at it.. might as well try a slow motion pushup set. At least 10 seconds minimum going down, and 10 seconds up minimum. See how many you can do, compared to typical fast sets. If you can make it to 20... Id be surprised. Even more challenging, if you do the WC pushups... where you place your chest over both vertical fists, in the center of your body. If your knuckles are weak.. use carpet. If you have the ability... do then on hardwood, or concrete. Make sure to keep your elbows as close to the sides of your body, at all times. They should rub the sides of your ribcage, as you go up and down. Not point outwards like chicken wings.
One part of the WC workout that I was taught, involved 3 sets of 100 crunches, followed immediately by 3 to 5 min of Leg Lifts & Lowers + Legs Spins (about the size of a basketball, staying about 3 inches away from the ground max), and at least one part at the end, where you hold your legs out, about 3" up from the ground... for at least 60 seconds minimum. When I got built up... I put on 15lb leg weights, when doing the leg lifts/spins, for the extra challenge. Try and replicate it, to see how good your core actually is. I also used to do Inverted pushups (handstand pushups), lightly sliding against a wall. (I was also able to walk at least 50 ft on my hands, at the time.. due to such training)
Dont give me Excuses either. You have a big mouth... but the real question is... are you willing to exercise your muscles, more than your mouth, and keyboard fingers...
Number 4 shown in the video is the wrong character for Qi 氣
Yeah, unfortunately I didn’t spot the typo until after the video was uploaded. The correct character for number 4 should be 氣. Thanks for the comment.
The student is over exaggerating and making it look like those bullshido videos of guys leading people down dangerous paths
🤍
The student is thinking of a polite way to ask The Master for his enrollment money back

It looks like it until you experience it. Hell even when you do it still looks fake and you'll ask it to be done a dozen times to make sure you aren't going crazy lol. Hopefully one day you'll find a true master
Ah, sadly all such miraculous skills only work on Master's students. Quite a few times the student moved even before the Master applied any "yi" on him.
There is no miraculous skills in kung Fu
Feel it bro, I can attest to it. When you do not have the experience you cannot see the hidden within the movement or the force within the movement.
Not really. They workshop on everybody because it is science.
Of course you have to train with reattive partners. But if you train immediately intensive, you can never understand it.
มวยเด็กเนิ๊ด
another freaking fake kung fu master?
Not everything you don't understand is fake. He is showing the art he knows and making no claims.
He studied Wing Chun but he stopped at the Sin Num Tao level because he said there’s so much involved at that level that most Wing Chun practioners don’t understand the inter-workings of Sin Num Tao. I believe he is the only one in the world who has studied Sin Num Tao at depth and feels Wing Chun practitioners should learn before moving to the next level.
easy to say... talk is the actual cheap thing.
Stupid to try to hit someone stand to far back.
yes, right, you will see these fake attacks almost everywhere!
Party tricks . Useless in fighting
Yes, like running, jumping the rope, doing push up, squatting, hitting the bag, and weight lifting.
😂
Simultaneously impractical in a fight and really relaxing to watch :). Possibly practical to massage and meditation :)
This is the basics without fighting aspect. He teaches like 7 different styles of fighting using these principles each with a different flavor. Like 1 very linear "Taizu" and the other twists and coils "Lohan".... etc.
Cmon now man I get it that martial and spiritual go together but in a street fight or any other form of hand to hand combat it won’t work. Much respect to the master.
Unrealistic as is much of Chi Sao. Do a little hard contact, unscripted sparring. No one Bridges and just leaves their arm there and no one strikes with no forward cast of their body.
In fact these are not the reasons to do chi sao.
So of course you cannot expect results from it.
You look at it from the wrong perspective.
A Big Placebo treatment. Never pay for this type of crap
