    I always find myself revisiting your videos because theyre just that good, and the desire to learn can be addicting. Have you ever considered doing a video that describes your history with martial arts in detail, how you got into it, the styles youve studied, and the styles youve wanted to study but havent, etc? would definitely be something your subs would enjoy; the students getting to know the teacher if you will :D

    Very cool!!! Can you do a vid on finger attacks to nerves? My Sifu had us toughen our fingers by jabbing them in sand and other things. Then we learned where the nerves were. Crane is an awesome style. Very good for multiple opponents because you can use both arms and a kick simultaneously in different directions.

    Some Secrets: When stretching... use your muscles and push your leg downwards on the chair / ladder, *as hard as you can... anywhere from a few seconds, up to a minute. Then stop pressing downwards for a short while (relaxed, but still in the stretched position)... and repeat this same cycle over and over again... for at least a few minutes per leg. (Isometric Stretching) *Be careful. Before going full strength... First, make sure that you are at least warmed up (blood pumping), and have done a mild stretch at first... without pressing down. Then, when you do press downwards... start off at like 30%, and gradually increase that power level SLOWLY, each Off and On Rep. If you try to use full power all at once... you might break too many strands, and cause the muscles to refuse to stretch any further for a day or so. This could cause an injury bad enough to prevent you from doing anything more with the legs, for about a week. Additionally.. make sure you are breathing very deeply. Long, slow, and full deep breaths... all throughout the entire stretching process. You should breath IN when you are relaxed... and Breath OUT when you are pressing downwards / stressing. The deep breath cycle will do two main things. 1) It will reduce your pain levels. 2) It will create a much better blood and o2 circulation... which will develop your body faster + heal faster + perform better. As long as you are gradual about things... you should be able to keep from injury... and at the same time, progress your stretching progress about 3x as fast, using this method. Also, In the art I studied... one of the exercises we did, had us stand on one leg (with bent knee positioned directly over the toes), for a full 60 seconds. At the higher levels... that was extended to 2 minutes. If you think that is easy... think again. This would then be extended to include: slowly extending the hanging leg fully away from the body... and leaving it extended for several seconds, before slowly returning it to the hanging knee position. This was repeated over and over again, throughout the 2 min or so drill... (+ 2min, for each individual leg) One of my personally developed drills... was to extend from one kick, into a different kick... such as backwards, forwards, sidewards, circular, low kicks to high kicks, high to low, etc. I cant recall the exact order at the moment.. but you are free to experiment. The whole point here... is to never put the foot down, when transitioning from one kick to the next. I think I did a minimum of 4 different kicks, and repeated the Loop of them, at least 5 times in a row.. minimum... without stopping / setting the foot down. At first, I would do this slowly... and later, I would gradually increase the speed and intensity of these chained kicks. At higher speed and intensity.. it really challenges your stability even more. But if you should develop things slowly with accuracy.. to gain the needed strength and surgical control... before practicing the speed + power drill format.

    @Sifu Dunng thank you so much for sharing this video. I couldn't figure out the Shaolin forms being shown at the temple in the pilot of the tv series "Kung Fu" until I saw your animal style videos; they were most likely Choy Li Fut animal styles,right? ~ so cool. So would this particular form be called Hok Ying Kuen(鶴形拳) ? If so, I will definitely search for an instructional dvd. Crane and Praying Mantis are my absolute favorites among animal styles. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful and fascinating cultural heritage.

    I practice Jeet Kune Do since I was about 5 because when I was a kid all I wanted to be was Bruce Lee , I've studied every aspect of combat there is from the way leverage is used to the mentality and everything from a jab to a double spinning jump kick from fists to a Kunai I even learned Martial Arts and Combat Systems to protect the Holstered pistol using pivots , positioning and physics to protect the pistol or rifle and be in the ready fire position Like the SWAT team train I definitely know CQC and CQB. , I was taught my whole life I follow the Jeet Kune Do philosophy of expressing the body through movement Using whatever the most economical attack is required Not really tying myself to a stance but puppetry Drawing in the desired attack and countering The fighting is that of a cobra a creature that doesn't rely on anything but a poisonous strike The Cobra can defeat a Elephant and The Cobra 🐍 doesn't even have arms His attacks are off the center line and are deadly regardless of where they hit So we must make our strikes deadly , venomous even The rear hand is The Cobras head , where the poisonous fists comes from The Lead Hand is the tail Ready to snap out to create distance Be like a cobra
