Kung Fu in the movies

[TigerClaw]

Hello all, I know that many kung fu movies are full of bad techniques etc. But there are some that have real kung fu, here are a few examples. But even the real kung fu is slightly changed at times as you will see. I am speaking mostly about the forms displayed.

etc etc.

Just a thought about kung fu in some films. I know that some of the fighting scenes aren't that good. But if you look close you will se some real Kung Fu forms through out.

Yes they are, and still good kung fu forms. I like Lau Kar Fei & Chen Kuan Tai

doing the two man stick form and Hung gar. That was a good movie, i think it was called Challenge of the masters. It is hard Movie to find. I found it on VCD long ago.

Some The kung fu I showed here is from many famous Hung Gar forms and others. I have learned Hung Gar forms from my instructor Master Lin many years back. The reason I am showing these is for enjoyment and to see forms that some of us may have learned in the films. It is fun to watch a from that you know like the tiger crane and remember all the hard study in practicing it and then to se it in a kung fu movie.

I have already mentioned one of my schools named E-Chaum Mun where my teacher taught traditional Hung Gar, Northern Shaolin, and White Crane, and you know that from the other forum.

JD, we all know that he's a master of movie-fu. In DL, he only used movies to illustrate his points about TCMA.

Benn, there you go again, lying as you often do about me. It seems that when you run out of any real argument you just lie or twist the truth. Any person that really watches on should be able to see this.

I did post video of myself doing snake postures and I did show pictures to show my points. When I posted some old traditional Kung fu stuff that was just for entertainment.

Your dark snakey videos were crap. So were your photos which literally prove nothing about your so-called skill. It just shows that you are a poser.

I suppose you are an expert with snake style and you understand what I was doing? I have had others say they were good and not crap at all. In fact my students love the snake style and many of the drills we have done.

But coming from a man that has only a few years in martial arts and who has a strong bias towards me and who even thought that I speeded the snake videos up, (which I did not) and who most likely has no idea what he is talking about when he attacks my videos. Your comments mean nothing.

By the way I would trust with my life some of the snake techniques in combat. And when I have had men attack me in the past the snake techniques were the most effective.

And the photos I showed were slightly bad quality, ( I mean the actual camera etc.) but the techniques were very solid and would work excellently in combat against grapplers. Like I said, go and try to attack the vitals when you are grappled and watch what happens. If you don't think MMA type fighters would expose such areas, I have shown from actual MMA fights where certain techniques could be done. If you watch the next MMA fight on TV you will see how many times the vital areas are exposed. But again, this should be obvious to any martial artist that has more than three years or so in a style.

I spar with guys who use snake style techniques. What you showed was ugly, slow and weak. Even they laughed their asses off watching you and asked me whether you were serious or if it was just from a movie. Your a fake clown. Go back to your LARPer dream world.

I would really like to see you spar with the so called snake fighters. Post it in here, and we will see how a couple years of training has paid off for you. I think you would not dare do such a thing. But it would be entertaining. And I would like to see how these snake fighters move. they better be very good or their laughter will make no sense.

By the way you must have swayed them against me from the start. I cannot imagine anyone else who loves snake style thinking badly of other snake style fighters. And you should ask them if they think their snake fighting could stand up against MMA type fighters and grapplers? If they really exist that is.

What I posted wasn't ugly at all, In fact some have said the opposite. But by the way I am not just doing things for the visual effect, I do techniques that work in combat. I would like to see your two friends video tape themselves doing snake moves and lets see their speed and fluidity? I am curious , why not get them to show us, or else they are not that quick and fluid and their techniques are very basic.

Also I would like to see you show me your fastest hand movement techniques and post it here so we can see.

The only slow thing I showed you was the slow applications of the techniques. The medium speed, (not as fast as I can go) was on the video where I was doing moves alone. By the way I have seen many snake moves that are not done fast and they are still effective. To be able to transition from one move to another is not easy, especially doing it fast.

When they asked if it was "just from a movie" , what did they mean? Did they think I was from a movie?

[Ben Grimm]

KFM, I'm not going to post something for you to steal and claim as your own. You want to see my hand speed? How about when my fist hits your face a few times before you can even counter. Because I'll knock you flat on your ass and out cold.
