Ngo Cho Kun

[jingshen]

the bending in of the knee it not so much for protection of the groin but more for the rooting effect. you should be able to protect your groin but blocking correctly, lifting your knee or simply not being there?...by focussing both knees down diagonally you can generate a donward energy that enables you to root very well...imagine a rope around both knees, in the middle of that rope a heavy weight pulling them down...makes your stance strong and posture very stable, but also allows mobility.
the other similarites are nothing to do with finger strikes or the way we hold the fist but the energy used to deal with an attack and the generation and delivery of power. look past the simple hand forms theres a deep er art behind them

[krys]

yes, we practice a very fluid form of pushing hands. also all of the forms 'catching' contain sensitivity training as well as the set sparring drills and one step sparring drills. Basically you learn to feel the opponents movement and posture through your forearm and then use their energy on them.

Is this pushing hands like Taiji? What do you mean by catching if I can ask? Arm and leg catching?

I practice sensitivity in Wing Chun (changing hands, sticky legs), filipino Silat (my main art) and Systema...In filipino silat there is a kind of sticky leg, sensitivity is trained with contact through the whole body (leg to leg, back to back, arm to the body), lots of catching exercises also.... Systema uses this too, it looks like Taiji sensitivity exercises but at all levels not only in stand up, on the ground and with weapons....

[jingshen]

similar ti taiji pushing only less structured...catching is the opposite side to out forms. when you have learnt a form you learn the correct posture, feeling and to generate and deliver power through catching. A partner will stand in front of you and almost mirror your movements adding resistance and pressure to every movement.

next subject .....'rooting'

i have worked, like i said before, withh BJJ practitioners and they find it very hard to 'shoot' onme as they normally would anyone else, also i have pushed hands with people from various 'internal' arts and indeed wingchun and have found our stance is by far more than capable of dealing with all. Im not saying its magical and yes i have been taken down but i do find the theory and practice of rooting to be very advantageuos...any thoughts?

I believe rooting to be the most important factor in the ability to produce heavy power. Without it you float too much and cannot generate the power properly.

I have not had the opportunity to train with a wrestler or grappler so I don't know how well I go against the shoot, but I have touched hands with internal practitioners and my rooting is what has saved me every time.

China is now starting to recognize the importance of TCMA. TCMA is now starting to expereince a renaisance, the training the essence & the philosophy is now being explore & sponsor by the chinese goverment all thanks to China's economic prosperity & with that comes the desire to seek & reestablishe China's heritage & tcma is part of that rich heritage.

Soon all tcma, will have incorporated san shou sparing as the universal tournament sparing for all kung fu styles at the same time preserving their own respective style's identity.

The First International Traditional Chinese Martial Art was just held in Ti Chiu, China & it was a success.

It sounds like Hung Gar almost with the conditioning and low stances. What do you guys think?

There ares ome similarity in term of muscle tensioning, but in technique execution nck tend to concentrate on short range & the development of explosive attack.

In term of fighting stance, nck have a narrower & higher stance. It is square to the shoulder ( just like boxers or MT ) more natural stance.

[konghan]

natural stance, square to the shoulder.
