Chen Xiaowang Applications DVD excerpt, Laojia/19ct w/ fajin

Chen Xiaowang Applications DVD excerpt, Laojia/19ct w/ fajin, off "Ancestral Chen-style Taijiquan: Internal strength learning boxing and coiling slightly"

Also, for English speakers - the translation is obviously very rough. This is one of those reasons to 1) learn Chinese, or 2) watch these DVDs over and over to start to get what is meant. Both are good. :-) And, of course, to concentrate your attention on the fine movements of such a master of the body. What he says is important, how he moves is its manifestation.

Also, I feel sorry for the guy in red. He really gets tossed around, even though I'm sure Chen Xiaowang isn't trying to break him. Though the clipping back to bigger angles is poorly timed, as always on these DVDs... The "Too much production" problem in this whole series (green-screen dragons, waterfalls, etc. taking away from Chen Xiaowang's amazingness)

Lastly, the final bit on this DVD (this is the last 10 minutes) on the applications of foot stomp and downward punch is golden. Super helpful for me.

Ric Meyers on the art of Kung Fu movies

The Fight Nerd caught up with Kung Fu film historian and author, Ric Meyers, at the Great Allentown Comic Con, and discussed his book "Films of Fury", as well as some of his favorite movies and martial artists, and hsi deep thoughts on the style of Kung Fu itself. You can also enjoy me being awkwardly shoved by Ric at around 1:20. Not the first time it happened, probably not the last either. It's good to be The Fight Nerd!

Monkey Wrench Beats Kung Fu

More Basic Cranes.

Traditional White Crane Kung Fu, just like most TCMA, is based on the 5 classic fundamentals.

"Strong, fierce, tight , stable and small "

Fuzhou Crane places strong emphasis on tight, stable and small which could be explained as cohesive stable moves executed in a continuous flow without break. All directions of force must be synchronized.

During the early phase of Fuzhou White Crane training, "tight" hand drills are done repeatedly until each student achieves a smooth flow.......

"Body and hands move as one".
