So happy to have found this video there where a couple of kicks missing from my arsenal that I wanted to learn and one I have never seen before, the ghost kick.
Great! But the "inside" and "outside" crescent kicks - you should reach (to slap) with your foot to the outside extended palms, instead of bringing your palms towards your foot. This requires to twist your hips and torso when kicking, and lets you generate more power from the kicks ;)) Also the front snap kick - there should be a loud sound when your foot slaps the palm. That is a requirement for this technique. That's just a small but important detail. You are doing awsomely great !!!
Ive noticed that the official Shaolin Temple basic kicks are done while standing and stepping forward like you show here.. but in the Northern Shaolin that i learned, we would do most if not all these kicks in a low archer stance and not move forward but the rear leg would just go back into position. We would do all the forward thrusting kicks, back kicks, crescent kicks all from that low position. Of course, nowhere in our forms or basics did we have a roundhouse kick, I've always wondered about that.. but it seems that the inside and outside crescent kicks accomplish the same thing while being able to use the hands simultaneously as opposed to a roundhouse kick where the hands arent very useful. Awesome job on the variety of kicks you show here!
Shenn Speaks I was made to do it in the way you described as well. Both are good to train. One teaches control and the other teaches advancing, among other things. I always like to see and hear how others practice their basics. It usually says a lot about their style’s flavor.
I practice every day whenever I can. I have been wanting to do applications videos for a long time, but I can't find any volunteers among anyone I know. As soon as I find someone I'll get on it right away!
I spent many years doing "air" kicks or slapping the hands against the kicks, which looks and sounds cool.. but after all that time I found that there wasnt the realism of hitting something for power.. so i made various padded kicking posts so i could actually kick and feel the power going into something.. a heavy bag doesnt seem to work well for this, so that's why i created my own training devices.. hehe.. I found that some of my awesome air kicks had no power and from actually hitting something, I had to re-examine how the kick can work to actually transfer power.. anyhow something to think about.
Actually, on the subject of slapping kicks, I didn't learn this until meeting my most recent teacher. Any time you slap your kick, it is simulating grabbing onto something and forcing it into your kick. Like a head for example. I think it's pretty neat.
I have only taken two classes so far but I do really enjoy it. I am taking lessons at Dynamic Fighting Arts in Cincinnati Ohio. I haven't asked anything about lineage. My Sifu is David Seiwart.
It is always a possibility. It will always be missing something though because of the lack of a teacher and 1st hand experience. A lot of people train from online videos nowadays because of the lack of training facilities and that is fine, but if you have the chance to train with a qualified master go for it because Chinese Martial Arts have a lot of small subtleties that without proper guidance will more than likely will be overlooked. Good luck with your journey.
You are welcome, hope you are still practicing? Do you know the fighting application of this movement? That would be a great follow up video that I would like to see.
I unfortunately do not know the Chinese names for them. But "tui" with the third tone is leg and "ti" with the first tone is to kick. I'm sorry I can't give more.
For the Northern Shaolin curriculum that I upload videos on I attained teacher level. I also take classes in other styles such as Hung gar, Tai Chi, and Drunken Boxing. Do you enjoy your Shaolin classes? Does your teacher teach your lineage?
Red Jade Martial Arts of McHenry YESSSSS! You go man! I just started studying up on Northern Shaolin, because I want to learn something physical during quarantine. I used to do a lot of Tae Kwon Do a while back, and while I know they are pretty different, I am hoping that my experience in that may help. The punching form and roundhouse kick seem pretty similar. Also I’m 6’8 and sorta heavy (as would be expected), so if I do manage to learn this my nickname would be the Volcano, as it was fire that drew me to it. The reason i’m mentioning that tho, is do you know of styles that would benefit a bigger opponent like me?
@@barretthoven Its not the style really that is used by different body types, but different body types give different advantages in any style. Being tall gives one an advantage of having reach and weight to use against your opponent. Though that being said, no matter what style you practice, those advantages should not be used as a crutch. That way when you fight someone taller or stronger you are not at a loss. But in the end martial styles though appearing different have the same base. Martial Arts is Pizza. Styles are toppings. First we find what toppings we like. Later we realize that it is pizza no matter what topping it has... Mmm pizza.
it's quite good but when he does the sweeps, his standing leg is not low enough. Maybe he got power in the kick but he probably will only hit his opponent's knee or shin, instead of sweeping is legs away so he falls on the ground.
I agree. Such is the curse of filming oneself doing martial arts and then looking back at it years later. It's quite embarrassing, but it's also good to look at to see how much you've grown.
@@redjademartialartsofmchenry That's actually true. I'm practicing Seven-star-Mantis-Kung-Fu for nearly 10 years, and I looked back to old videos of me practicing forms, kicks etc. and compared them. I wouldn't say it's embarrassing, It's more of a proof that if you keep practicing, you for sure become better in it. And of course it's a lot of beautiful memories of practicing back in the day 😁
Yeah. This video was from several years ago, and now looking back there are lots of things that needs fixing. Thank you for the constructive criticism as well.
If people can learn and master kung fu from a video, then they must be working very hard. Only so much can be learned this way without being able to touch and feel an experienced master. It usually results in "paper tigers", all show, no substance.

I've seen these kicks many times but never knew the names until now. Awesome upload.
"fire bends"
Northern style kicks are to the point..nice!🙏🙏👊
Great form. You have put in the sweat & hours, young grasshopper. Serio, great job. Never give it up. Martial Arts training never lets you down.
Like the Master Po reference!

3:44 Continuous Sweeping Kick, eh? We have something similar (the exact same moves, with added flair) in breakdance called the Coffee Grinder
Great technique
Thank you!
ShaolinMaster27 the side thrust kick looks like it uses the man sau on wingchun
It's amazing and very helpful for me..thank you so much
Thank you!

Good for you! I hope that Shaolin Kung Fu will have a great impact on you like it did for me! Happy training!
Great video!
Thanks!
good stuff man keep up with the videos.
+jrayers Thank you!
+jrayers Thank you!
Great video. I am taking Northern Shaolin classes now. If you don't mind me asking what rank do you hold?
You are welcome, hope you are still practicing? Do you know the fighting application of this movement? That would be a great follow up video that I would like to see.
Okay, so, this is the Majima's thug style
Super
I train Shaolin Kung Fu. Your technique is very good. I was looking for a video just like this but with Chinese names. Do yo know them by any chance?
I unfortunately do not know the Chinese names for them. But "tui" with the third tone is leg and "ti" with the first tone is to kick. I'm sorry I can't give more.
Excellent! Are you familiar with double shovel/spade leg?
Hmm. Maybe not by that name. Could you describe it for me?
Can't say I'm familiar, but sounds awesome.
For the Northern Shaolin curriculum that I upload videos on I attained teacher level. I also take classes in other styles such as Hung gar, Tai Chi, and Drunken Boxing. Do you enjoy your Shaolin classes? Does your teacher teach your lineage?
So Tai Chi, Hung gar, and Northern Shaolin. You just need circle walking and you’ll be the avatar.
@@barretthoven Well I've now been doing Bagua for a while, so I guess I'm the avatar now. Though a pretty lame one. No powers or anything. ;)

Did I miss d front jab kick 前蹬腿?
Nice xD
When you go back to a hanging horse you should hold it for a couple of seconds when doing a roundhouse kick. It will improve your balance.
Elliot Borge Thanks for the tip.
***** No problem.
南拳北腿 SOUTH FISTS NORTH LEGS. Southerners focus on fist fight while northerners kick.
back sweep sweep earlier

u still training

Can i train Shaolin kung fu alone?
EpicLego Guns depends
Very stylish but too girlish and without power and speed
Not girlish. But some of the techniques lacked intent. It is what happens when you don't know what a technique does. I've been there myself! 😸
Is it really a good idea to put this on video? Only people who train really hard should be taught this art.
If people can learn and master kung fu from a video, then they must be working very hard. Only so much can be learned this way without being able to touch and feel an experienced master. It usually results in "paper tigers", all show, no substance.
