    Will, many thanks for the amazing material. In many ways, the solo forms recall Okinawan karate but the theory behind the practical moves are so similar to the southern styles of chinese martial arts. The mantis forms executed by the Jing Wu team are so Hong Kong style ! Cheers !!

    Bro, not sure where you are now. But if you’re still in Malaysia, I really hope you have the chance to interview Master Siow Ho Phiew (萧斐弘师傅) in Kuala Lumpur. He is the father of modern lion dance. Definitely worth your time!

      @@MonkeyStealsPeach maybe not worth your time. Master siow is very good n influential but he has been marketed way too much.
      His contribution to modern lion dance is immense but it came with a cost. Lion dance in Malaysia today has been gentrified to be more of a business or a sport rather than a culture.
      Real traditional forms of fuo shan and even he shan has now made way for this acrobatic showmanship with very little cultural meaning besides being a shallow gentrified fanfare. Reminds me of a circus actually.
      Gone were the days when lion dance was accessible to every family during the new year. Troupes will visit each house regardless how much were paid.
      Now u make an appointment for them to come and pay hundreds if not thousands for a 10 min often lackluster show.
      Otherwise u have to go to a shopping mall to see some acrobatic performance.
      To be fair its not master siows fault. He did the best he could but later generations just got greedy n lazy.
      I've actually asked him about this. Maybe if u were to interview him you should ask him too. Lol

    @7:05 it always amazes me when you get to some of these predecessor styles to Okinawan karate (or like he said influenced by white crane) that they can be so darn familiar in practice but the execution is just different enough it doesn't quite feel right.
    At the same moment it makes me kind of sad that in the 50s 60s and seventies more diversity of these sister and cousin arts didn't penetrate into the Western consciousness. Because there is such a big depth of unique experiences and techniques. It also speaks directly to why these videos are so important to get to larger audiences because instantly we get to be dropped in to things that are not familiar even with a lot of study. Love the videos

    Martial arts clubs in temples are like football clubs in churches. They happened to be members of that community, so they got permission from the community leaders to practice in their premises.
    There's a larger Hakka population in East Malaysia, i.e. Sabah and Sarawak. There might be some cultural exchanges there, which would explain why Silat and Eskirma is similar to their kungfu style.

    cool vid
    when u get back to aus maybe invite some yters to ur house for kf lesson tea food and kf culture thing for publicity
    cold ones r 2 aussie ppl who drink and interview and do dumb products and merch. maybe not best fit to invite but wanted to recommend u to watch if u want some aussie revelry
    interesting to hear abt the lineages. makes me want to learn more about mine
    hard to find a balance between niche and detailed vs overview for general audience. this vid is a bit niche i suppose. maybe upload vids that are more basic to bring newcomers in to ur channel alongside more detailed vids for the veterans? i dont mean to harp too much on the business of the channel, just thought id put my thoughts out rather than not say them.
    in watching the last few vids im still (as a novice) just distracted by thinking "ok but does it work in a real fight," whenever i see people do their forms or even technique examples. i mean there was a certain point in the vid where a guy went at you for a sec and you two kind of flapped ur hands about... there was another time where the guy was talking about being in a social situation where ur not in guard, and then u move ur hand up to smack an aggressor out of the way...
    i guess it would be interesting to see more examples of sparring with ppl u interview. especially a highly skilled practitioner vs a novice. of course its hard to overcome the mental block for a novice to go up against someone who hes intimidated of. but at least youll be able to slow mo it and see how, say, superior footwork benefits the expert. ik its prob hard to ask ppl u interview for sparring demos, bc u dont want to cast doubt on them and u want to b respectful. again just thoughts.
    id plug merch more if u can or at least ur patreon. ik its a pain to plug but theres no reason u should put in a lot of time and energy for zero in return... at least if its whats paying ur bills. other thing - im on ur email list and i get ur vids in advance before when u release on ur channel. im like, i didnt pay anything, y am i getting to see these in advance? (did i pay something?..) perks should only be for payers imo. cold ones actually releases footage for patreon members that isnt released to the public.
    interesting note about practice spaces and the practicality.
    im gonna search ur channel but if u dont have something on this already, id love to see a vid explaining a bit about the original kf texts, how to understand them, and where to find them on the net. ik that its probably hard to understand much at all without a scholar's advice. but since im training solo rn, i find myself interested in at least glancing at the original texts... ik one was like written on pieces of bamboo rather than paper in an ancient chinese dialect... i do see quite a few ppl on reddit talking about training solo, and i always recommend they work with someone in person, but that isn't always possible for ppl.
    im also interested in world cultures in general (altho having uncle sam breathing down my neck every time i watch a yt vid makes it hard to learn). so info about food, etiquette, social situations, clothing, history, etc. interest me. and they are great fodder for newcomers. im sure u could even sell an introductory chinese course for english speakers.
    i wish ppl, esp christian american conservatives, would have more of an open mind to the world and want to learn rather than go to war. seems like a lot of the talk today is about separating people by race or ethnicity and clinging to culture and being secretive about it. lo and behold communities are segregated and when people do cross lines there is violence...
    i dont mean to end on a negative note. keep the great vids coming!
    general anatomy and physiology and safety tips would be good too. ur an online sifu rn eh? unless ur sifu would not think it appropriate for u to "teach" at ur level yet, or wouldnt say u can call urself a sifu just yet, at ur level, in this online dojo...
