🤯... Big Brother Chan is so humble 😇 I don't even practice Wing Chun, and yet here I am, feeling like a kid listening to family history around a camp fire. My only complaint is that the video is too short 😜
I’m a Hakka Kungfu practitioner and basically nailed it on the head at the end. Most of the techniques and things don’t work (or work that well) without the “gang tan ging”
Evo's Basics. Have you got fingers like Hooks and Daggers. Can your wrist snap and sprung opponent like a spring coil. Can your palms slice like a cleaver that can dislocate an opponent's fist. And your arms like rattan that can break the arms that throws the punch. Paralize the leg that does the kick. so on and on and on. Regards, (劲武门)UFA.
100% agree - ging is the product of ‘gung Lik’ training - hard and prolonged effort over a long time. Ging can’t be obtained in 5 minutes….. once obtained the arts come alive and even the blocks are strikes (such is the force behind them) this is the age of instant gratification so seeing this type of shock force will become rarer and rarer as hard to find students willing to submit to hard, gruelling, boring grind. You must learn to eat bitter before you taste sweet……⚡️
Excellent. My Hakka roots support what you say👍👍. Where I grew up, most Chinese were Hakka. Yes the Hakka martial arts were mostly family names and they are not too widely known outside of the area I grew up in. Much thanks to you, Sifu🙏🙏🙏🦄🦄🦄
Greetings Adam, some of the things you speak of what the Hakka People endured I’ve heard in our Families. We were told to never admit you practice any martial arts. Never start a fight, avoid until you’re touch or danger for life. Always be respectful to everyone. I did that for a while, then I started practicing everywhere I went in public, after meeting one of my teachers. So relaxing and kool☀️🌿🙏🏾
Best Teacher out there IMO for Chinese arts. Very Open and honest about each art. I’d definitely attend a seminar and I don’t even study WC or Chinese arts at present. Keep the great vids coming.
Man this is fire 🔥 Love the knowledge as a WC guy this is seriously important! Sifu Adam just does so well with sharing this knowledge. Thank you Sifu Adam 🙌🏾
I don't know how else to say it other than you're a really good guy. And you know you're stuff. Thank you for representing the Arts the way that you do. God bless and peace be with you.
Thank you for your detailed history of your background and the culture you come from. Sounds very familiar to the original Okinawa karate. The use was utilitarian not sport or fame. My Tai-Chi teacher’s father-in-law knew Hun gar for family and village protection not show. In many villages and bigger towns there was not an organized police force that in modern times we have today.
Hey Adam, thanks for answering my question, that was really insightful and very much chimed with my understanding of the Hakka arts, while giving me some new insights. I'd wondered for a long time why Pak Mei was the only Chinese style that used the double crutch/tonfa but now it makes more sense, and also the point about explosive force from any direction which I don't think I'd fully appreciated until recently - focusing on up, down and out, to the exclusion of in, left and right. I also agree that the idiosyncratic element to the Hakka styles is the power generation which isn't always displayed, even by long time practitioners, although it was your expression of it that made me think you must have had more experience or understanding of it, than just the rudimentary. Any way, love the videos; I've also done a little wing chun to supplement my Pak Mei and found it useful to extrapolate those elements that complemented my Pak Mei, which your videos continue to do
Sifu Adam, I have friend that teach SPM, and he let me feel the shock power and it’s is truly amazing. Could you also speak about Buk Sil Lum? Thanks great insight as always.
I watched both this video, as well as the one with the question about taiji. Many years ago I read an article that stated that in internal arts one trains from soft to hard, and in external arts the train from hard to sort. Having trained a form of northern shaolin for years and then crossing arms with a "REAL" neijia practitioner, my structure would be broken in the middle of a very fast and powerful trap. I've trained neijia arts ever since. Still, I thought it was a fairy tale because I have never encountered a shoalin art with that kind of power. BTW, when I say soft, I mean internal and heavy with the ability to make one float. Recently I watched a 2019 martial camp in Thailand with two wing chun practitioners and a 5 ancestors practitioner who had these skills. There's also Sam Chin (I lig chuan) who was brought up in Hakka arts. He says his basically tai chi was created through Hakka arts and bagua. One of the WC (Sergio) practitioners went to China to research WC and found it was originally a mix of southern white crane and Emei zhaung. In conclusion, it sounds to me that you have never met a "REAL"highly skilled tai chi practitioner. But I would also agree that WC was indeed influenced by Hakka arts.
Hey adam, do you know anything about hmong people? The story of hakka people sounds similar. I looked it up and it said hakka descend from Han and hmong people. Idk if it's the same hmong but if it is, then that's dope!

I would say it's the Long, Short, Spring Tendon force. No body will teach them openly.
@@deltaridge2688 people openly teach it, but whether people train it enough to attain the skill is another matter.
@@Hakka_Charlie Have you been training with a child standing on your finger tips and lifting them up with your arm stretched straight out.

I feel like I get more learning about certain aspects of Kung Fu from you than I will ever get from my own Sifus.
Those 11 minutes went by quick. I always enjoy when Adam talks about the philosophy and history of the martial arts.

Absolutely fascinating!
You should write a book on this.
I've never heard anyone talk this much in detail about hakka martial art history.
I don't know how else to say it other than you're a really good guy. And you know you're stuff. Thank you for representing the Arts the way that you do. God bless and peace be with you.

Very informative! MEGA RESPECT to this man for his knowledge and thanks for sharing!✊👊
Proud no-nonsense
hakka here. ✊
Very cool of you to share this historic background information about the Hakka! Thank you! 🙏🙏
Excellent. I agree with you.
This would explain why so many MMA and UFC guys get beat up pretty bad in the streets. While Wing chun folk manage to survive violent encounters.
Great info and history Adam. Thanks
That was insightful, I love your video, you have helped me in expanding my Wing chun understand and several combat application thanks a million
Very good info.. thanks for all the background on the Haka arts..
Can you share some wooden dummy techniques that you find practical?
WOW this is very great to know ,... I do 25 years wingchun, tong long and Taichi Yang at Québec, ...
Great work brother.

If you want research about “short explosive power” check out Pak Mei and Hainan Kungfu

I heard them referred to as village styles like Ha Say Fu.
Question is gangin the same as Fajin, I started baji and I love it.. but I struggle with the language.. thanks
Aloha from Hawaii 😎🤙
I didn't realize White Eyebrow was a Hakkanese art.
Hakka style is like the Gypsy Style Boxing of China
Why are the Hakka styles pronounced in Cantonese?
ZXD I Liq Chuan is another hakka influenced art that is recently codified.
We ain't got no time to play , sorry to say , you have to take someone quickly✌
