Simplicity and power, he looks hard of hearing and even short sighted but his technic, skill and style is amazing.

This is a valuable treasure for mantis style and martial art. Hope this old grand master is still healthy and well.

Remember, this old man is more than 90 years old! still fast and strong! plz respect!

@@jackeylee0513 No that's the result of training his whole life to be able to be that quick and agile for his age. His health certainly is most impressive also. Most people die young and few make it to 80 even. Not everything is about fighting. People today would just blow your fucking brains out if you put hands up in the streets. It's not about adding inches to your dick to be the man, it's about surviving in this fucked up world and living life to the fullest. MMA is not just Muay Thai and Ju-jitsu. It's called MIXED martial arts for a reason and it's not limited to a human cock-fighting cage either. Plenty of MMA fighters cross-train in various kung-fu disciplines and exercise regimes and have benefited. No-one gives a fuck how hard your roundhouse kick hits the leg but many do when they see someone like this who's still got it at such an old age.

This elderly gentleman signifies one MAJOR thing that makes me prefer traditional martial arts over MMA. Look at how well he moves at his age. Yes, maybe MMA can beat TMA, but I really don't want to be all beat up and sore when I'm old. I want to be like this guy if I reach his age.

MMA "wins" under certain rule sets. On the street, it's the man/woman and not so much the system.

MUCH RESPECT! Real Mantis Master sharing his wisdom! Thanks for posting this video!

As you get older it's not your power that leaves you, it's your speed and reflexes. However this master is a very rare example of someone who has managed to retain it and still give the other man a run for his money at 3:43. I hope he's still alive but this looks older than the date it was posted though... what an inspiration to many who train on what you strive for. Respect to him and god speed.

Excellent! Yes, this guy understands. Watch closely, most of us (unless we move,) will never have the opportunity to learn from someone like this directly in our lifetimes. For many of us, this is it! But it can be done.

A real master from real kung fu👊👏👏👏👏👏

This gentleman is awesome. I would love to learn from someone like that.

These are the masters hidden away in China who are the gems of martial arts I wish I could spar and learn from this master. 😊

Good to see some old mantis like this.. no magic. Just years of practice alignment and power.. direct... tendon power

That's traditional old school martial arts. The way he trained back then clearly shows his discipline in comparison to what they do today.

Toda la experiencia y sabiduría en este venerable anciano mi más profundo respeto, saludos Maestro.

Ce vieux grand père est très fort. C’est un très grand Maître !

A Real kung fu Shifu who knows his craft. A Rare one indeed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us shifu. God give you long prosperous life and peace. Love and Respect from India 🙏❤💪

A lesson to us all. Great respect to you sir, you are an inspiration to us. God bless you.

At 0:50 the benefits of the "Re-adjustments" and "Re-alignments" to the distance and positioning between himself and his opponent, this old man, using his "Chin" or "Jaw" to make the adjustments to the distancing?)? Maybe some old-school method of using the opponents extended fist by placing his fist within reaching distance of your chin and the sides of the jaw, thus ensuring the correct distance to "deflect the incoming hand with very little body movement, then shoots out a very direct straight left punch that looks QUICKER and STRONGER than what he was throwing BEFORE his RE-ADJUSTMENTS and RE-ALIGNMENTS. Maybe its a method of making the adjust taught to him by his master, or maybe he learned how to do those things on his own. I don't know what he is saying. I would love to see this translated to English. My analysis is solely based on what I'm seeing. In any event, this old man, is absolutetLY FANTASTIC! I couldn't say enough good things about him. I would love to be his Praying Mantis student. I got MUCH RESPECT for this old man, and the bloke blessed by God to be on the other side of this old man... I'll be back to review these gentlemen's "Hands" again...

Very interesting point and refreshing to hear/see. Thank you for your wonderful insight!

I studied basic kung fu for 2 years in my early twenties. I didn’t get it til the last 6 months when I started sparing. The repetitive motions I thought were boring and tiring became automatic and i had a glimpse of what it’s like to be a competent fighter. This man legit muscle memory especially for someone older than 65!

You see a lot of footage of older practioners thinking they are something. This is the real deal. If you love traditional Mantis, this is your man. Still quick at his advanced age, still a master of center of gravity awareness. We should all hope to be that able at that age. It's not just a martial art, it's a mastery beyond fighting. The mashing and bashing of MMA is impressive. But it is utilitarian. This is art.

Just imagine his skills when he was 30.

This is what real wing chun look like as well, not many wc masters can ever attain this level of fluidity

This is mantis not Wing Chun

its obvious the old man has skill, the reaction speed is impressive for age.

The old Mantis Master's lesson begins at 0:30. He is displaying how he makes his "Adjustments " to his body and distancing relative to the opponent. Then, you see his opponents incoming hand deflect more efficiently, and now the right-hand blocking is more efficient. "Hand-Chasing" is the word I "hear" to identify the action of the old man's right hand following the opponents left "Incoming" hand deflecting it, then shooting out a straight right. Oh, and before the "Adjustments" and "Alignments", this old man, lands a solid right straight into his opponents chest.

He sounds like Yoda. ^^

I can't believe he is still able to do this at 105..!!..

Pops still got some kick ass left in him his technic is immaculate

I like what he said in the minute 3:02 , totally agree with him

Old dude is ace!

Semplice e diretto, molto efficace... Il vecchio la sa lunga. Grande! 👍🙏

A master at work. Awesome

Jedi master.

Impressive !!! so much good information

Simply amazing!

Amazing speed. I could have used this knowledge when I encountered bullies in school.

The reason he is rag dolling the students is because they cannot see his next move. They are truly ignorant of his next advance. The man can hurt you. He can reverse a joint or place you in a position where you will hurt yourself if you resist. This creates fear. So to be safe they go limp and “accept” what he will do next... It’s not that they are allowing him to knock them down. They are “accepting” his force in order to protect themselves. They do not “Know” what he will do after each move. So it’s only safe to go limp like that and fall or sway as he imposes in them in order to be safe. If they actually exert themselves or resist him, he could capitalize and easily dislocate or break bones because they literally have no idea what he is going to do next. Try and understand this. He knows the form, he has all the answers for THEIR advances...they are trying to LEARN his advances... The only way to be safe is to give in to him.

Excellent video thank you so much for sharing it with us

Beginning at 2:16, this old man goes on to demonstrate absolutely the BEST variation of the left "Sticky Elbow" into the left "Propping Elbow" I've ever seen! And I've seen my share of "Sticky" and "Propping" elbows. This is STILL and absolutely MASTERFUL Performance...

never seen this master before. he is very good

The way of use his two hands looks like a viable way to use two daggers.

Holy cow! Now that's Kung-Fu!

A pesar que es un anciano tiene energía de sobra.... Es por eso que viven muchos años.... :')

His reflexes are dynamic

Wow! Beautifull and simple at the same time! What is his name?

Quick swift reflexes become the Master's second nature

Damn that hand movement at the end was really fast

I've been fortunate to study Southern Praying Mantis for over 20 years from a third generation master of Ip Shui, and it was taught traditionally. This is why our classes remained very small and many students gave up because the training was too hard. This Kung Fu system is brutal in fights when you fully attain the higher power levels, coupled with speed. It's a very aggressive martial art that preys on the opponents lack of a strong bridge. A proper Mantis fighter will close the gap, invading your personal space and launch flurries of attacks, which are extremely difficult to block or evade. Even boxers become disoriented because they need to keep their opponent at a certain range in order to launch their punches. I've tested my style against many of my friends who've extensively trained in boxing, muay thai, wing chun, shaolin long fist, and so on. When a proficient southern praying Mantis fighter closes the distance, it removes these fighters' arsenal of tools and makes them feel very vulnerable.
