As someone who has studied Hung Gar in my past, it is a great video. These are great self defense techniques , but need to be supplemented with regular sparring by the students. Once they know how to spar , figure out distance vs a non compliant opponent , their confidence ,and ability to apply these techniques will improve.

My father is an Internal and Wing-Chun practitioner, it takes a deeper understanding (feel of quality in techniques) to appreciate what is being shown. In his eyes he would see what you are sharing as more then generous, thank you for your insight sifu. As far as MMA, that is comparing apples and oranges. It is so sad when martial artist have to turn comments and ratings off just because others can not appreciate a teacher's generosity. If something does not work for you then it takes a modest person with good temperament to keep their opinions to themselves.

@@trondyne3513 No, it's not. Some techniques work in a sporting environment and may fail in the real world, ex MMA style, ground grappling against multiple opponents. That HAS failed in real life encounters. MOST traditional arts don't do it because they recognise it as dangerous. The only reason it works regularly in MMA is because MMA competition is always one on one. If they had 2 on 1 MMA fights...nobody would be grappling on the ground. MMA fights don't involve attacks from behind..at least not initially. But, traditional martial arts do address that.. people do try grab/hit/stab, etc, other people, from behind, in the real world. MMA is not the last word on fighting, dear sir.

a very interesting and well done video! I read a lot of criticisms of traditional kung- fu in the comments section. I think some people fail to realize that kung-fu was a way of life, and not just a few quick lessons to prepare for a fight in a few weeks or months. I have gained much through traditional training as I have from non- traditional ( Wing Chun) training. Unless I missed something, I don't think any sifu expects a student to rigidly adhere to every fine point of his system in a real fight. My experience is that by practicing low stances and exaggerated postures, that in a pinch the body will respond with whatever degree of technique is necessary to achieve results. Thank you for sharing these techniques.

The problem is not what a Sifu might expect a student to do in a "real fight" the problem is that the student should be fighting in class and there should be no question of what works... Those low stances have a purpose, just as in Western Boxing not all boxers dance around yet they knock people out... If people are wondering what will work then there is a real problem because it means you haven't learned how to fight you've learned something else...

As a pratitioner of Taoist Kung Fu, I've had the same experience. I even taught "sticky" or "pushing" hands to my brothers wrestling team in High School with good results. A wrestler can not wrestle if he cant even grab you. And most wrestling matches happen because both people WANT to wrestle, or were trained to. It's not that hard to slip away and stay away for those who do not WANT to wrestle or brawl.

Great exposition. Well done, Sifu Yui. Thanks for sharing.

Applications are always contextual. It is not a question of the attacks themselves being often used and to defend those in a determined way rather than to be ABLE to use these techniques in the case of possible attacks. More to understand as technical options for the special kind of attacks.It also makes you less vulnerable if you know such techniques.You can´t defend yourself properly against techniques you don´t know yourself. Action and reaction..very very nice. Thank you for this one

Back in 1978 Sifu Yee palced more emphasis on the techinque rather than the target. The techniques were as I expressed them in my article 9 poison hands in IKF. Sifu Yee and I disussed this numerous times the main grouping of the type of technique double hands, no shadow kick etc. This makes it uniquely Hung Ga.

Great variety of technique! Good Hung Gar!

Good video. I like Hung Ga's weapons forms too.

Hi Jarrmful, the technique you are referring to can actually crack the eye socket - a major target since it's so close to the cheek bone- if your hands are conditioned and you whip it fast enough. Speed is no good if you don't train your body to withstand the stress you will encounter, that's why the conditioning of the hands, the feet, in fact, the entire body, is important.

Hey 1776JMB, one of the things you need to do is build up your finger strength and the squeezing power. Hung Ga has many training methods to do both (like Tiger Claw training). And then you can rubber band a bunch of round chop sticks together; then practice grabbing them, digging your thumb into and separating the chop sticks, and squeezing the bunch together. There are many other ways, but this one comes to mind immediately.

Great video and direct techniques. thanks for putting it up! Respect. in Southern California there is a very good teacher who was a class mate of Y.C. Wong under Lam Jo his name is Sifu Bucksam Kong (Kongs Siu Lum Pai) in Glendale California. He is a legendary traditional Hung Gar teacher. check the school out, there are some good senior students there as well :)

this is awsome nice!!! thanks!

Yegenek, if someone was to copy what they see on this video exactly, no one should get hurt, as no one was hurt during the filming of this video. If someone was to deviate from what is shown, then injuries can happen. That is why proper training is needed to do these or any other technqiues as stated in the "Disclaimer" at the beginning of the video.

@NewYorkHungGa: Thank you for posting these techniques. These are definitely techniques one can use to defend himself and to end a fight quickly and properly. Also, is Hung Ga a short pronunciation for Hung Gar? I am interested in learning more about the style. Thanks and good day!

🙏☯️Great demonstration of the killing hands. Indeed they are for one thing and one thing only, killing your opponent, which is the only time that one should ever have to fight anyone to begin with.

@cal086 You're misunderstanding me; to best illustrate some of the ways to achieve the "10 Killing Hand" RESULTS (that's what I was talking about in the beginning of the video), I used these particular attacks (there're others but I can't show every possible way) - most from an attempted grab, but also some from straight punches. Its hard to film at full speed because then I'd have to counter at full speed and its VERY hard to pull your punches.

@cal086 Because this video is about the "10 Killing Hands", not a self-defense against jabs/straight punches. I would use different techniques to counter those (such as a Leopard Fist after a parry, or a front snap kick), not necessarily the 10 Killing Hands.

yup only question thought is there a video on blocking those moves or countering them??

Hello, I have a question: Why is your five animals so different? And if so, can I learn your version of five animals form?

From what I have gathered from this video, Hung Gar at a combat only level is drilling in the places to aim for in order to take out the opponent. I like it, it's one thing to preach "all you have to do is hit this vital part here" and practicing it in an efficient manner/ getting the mentality down.

NIce stuff!

Very informative video. Very complete solution to deal with both wide attacks and tight centerline attacks. A friend of mine once show me this video asking me to teach him Sup Duk Sao. He is a police officer who wished to learn Hung Ga killing moves like Krav Maga sequences. I asked him to drill himself in the basics first. It is hard to teach someone something advanced without foundation and martial ethics.

There is so. Much Aikido here. I’m 67. And I remember seeing Hung Gar. Leopard Style. I studied Poekalan at 12 years old. Animal FormKung Fu. Very similar.

hung gar is an awsome style,some cool techniques there.

@BushidoCode72 Actually, I've seen friends practicing the first technique of hitting the ear. They had 40 plus years experience in the arts. One of them accidentally made contact to the ear, and not even that hard, and it incapacitated his partner. Also, most application drills are done with obvious or slow attcks first to allow someone to develop the range of motion, then, speed is added later to make it more realistic.

THIS IS VERY NICE GOOD

Gratitude.

Muito bom

Did I not say that there are many ways to achieve these results? It's Hung Ga because I teach Hung Ga. Against a skilled opponent, another skilled person CAN get to these places just as they can get to any other parts. It's all up to the individual.

I am a practitioner of Hung Ga for a year now. these moves serve as a very good lesson to me. I am actually looking for Hung ga's training method on the mook jong and find it hard to access. Can Sifu help in this area too? Thank you!

Hi bornehere, The attack you are seeing is an attempted grab, although it can be done when someone tries to punch you too. What I'm doing is moving out of the line of attack, redirecting the force with my forearm as I step into their dead angle, riding over their attack, jamming their arm by coming over and trapping it. By sinking down, I displace their balance, and I strike their groin with my trapping hand, seizing it as I strike. And the rest is, well, there on the video...I hope this helps

Agreed, even if many would argue that real fighting is a lot more fluid than what is being demonstrated on his 'training dummy'. Punching people in the throat probably looks like a good idea to some watching this video, but what happens when their larynx collapses and you're left with a manslaughter rap ? I realise that 'martial' means war but unless your in Afghanistan, the legal system might not see it that way. Might seem an overreaction when we have YT vids demonstrating knives and guns being used for 'self defence', but that's presumably in situations where you are being threatened by an armed attacker not some drunk throwing a haymaker.

Do they teach in san francisco area??

What about the one demonstrated in Donnie Yen's Wu Xia (Swordsman), where you use what I now understand is ox-horn to the temple? I thought at first it was just obvious, cause the temple is a well-known weak-point in the martial arts community, but you found it necessary to show going for the groin. Protecting the "masses," or is there a part 2 I should look for?

Absolutely correct! Training deepens sincerity, and crushes vanity. Humility leads to wisdom. We share the same goal. We share the same sacrifice. We share the same respect. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association

Also consider these to be Wong Fei Hung's 10 Cheap Shots/Fight Dirty/Anything Goes techniques. Do whatever it takes to survive. They won't get you a standing ovation but if you rip a guy's neck tendon out or rip his penis off or uppercut him in the throat or actually land a solid strike to the tailbone, the fight will probably end.

Hi MrMidnightSpecialist, you are correct in that Hung Ga and Hung Gar is the same, The difference is that the usage of GA is the correct Cantonese pronunciation as Hung Kuen is a Southern Style a'la Canton. The usage of GAR is more Westernized and is used a lot too, but Ga is closer in sound than Gar - both meaning "family".

@cal086 Also, the goal of this clip is to illustrate the results you want to achieve to end the fight (with whatever technique you want to use), If someone was jabbing, it may not be feasible to use any of these techniques, but rather others (like a Chop Chuy) to counter. For a straight punch, you can certainly use the Sup Ji Sau to trap, and then do the "Break the Face" palm to the face. No disrespect taken - good question.

Not hug, more like grab :) Anyway, I chose these attacks to illustrate the "Killing Hand" technique you can use. You can certainly use other techniques like I stated, and not all techniques will work in all sitchies.

Oh ok Sifu, well, if you or anyone in the amazing Hung Gar family considers moving west, we have lots and lots of room for you here in San Diego, and lots of sunshine to practice in!

@cal086 Southern Praying Mantis is good stuff, good internals in the later stages.

I realize these are all static moves, but at least they are against a looping right cross (very instinctual attack) and not a stepping karate lunge pump with the arm left out. Very cool.

3:54 i know this move, they use it in the form Fu Hok Seung Ying (tiger and crane), actually, not just this move, theres a couple moves from that form they use in this video

Pretty dangerous techniques, do you think, well is it allright to broadcast these in a public media?

@BushidoCode72 If you paid attention to what was SAID in the video, no one ever said these were "killing" techniques. Of course it's rehearsed, its an informational video. For your edification, I choked out a high school champion wrestler, weighing 100 lbs more than me, and had 8" over me, over 10 years ago - when I was less skilled, not with any of these techniques, but definitely with Hung Ga kung fu techniques. Brush up on what the term Bushido means before you use it as your call name.

These 10 Killing Hands of Hung Gar are really dangerous if you apply in real life threatening situations, it must be practiced with caution, if you use it properly it will be a valuable self defense technique.

Nobody is going to fight by bear hugging you.

"Killing Hands" easily applied to Bagua Zhang (or most other martial arts). Thanks, but maybe you should tell us what positives can be learned from Hung Ga. I've always understood Wong Fei Hung to be the "Good Guy ".

@ Crack the Groin, the red shirt guy just wanted a hug. (I can't imagine why else anybody would come at you like that.)

oh man, these moves are dangerous! that's why kung fu is rarely seen in competition it at all.

@TheRoeliskoel Agreed, the attacks are not full blown attacks. More like "this is what you can do if someone does this". After all, this is not a "fighting" clip, but rather more of a self-defense clip using Hung Ga's 10 Killing Hands theories.

Because it wasn't like a videotaped challenge match. We were playing around at first in my living room because he thought he could beat me and then things got heated; I choked him out with from behind because I was faster and slippier than he was.

Where can i find this studio!?!?!?.Im a martial artist my self!,I learn shaolin dragon,tiger,and cheetah!,and a little of mauy thai and taekwondo!,self tought (wing chun&jeet kune do!)...I will love to go there and but my skills to the test!..but first who is this guy!!?!?..he seem a little skillful!.But anyways great video!.

OK listen up guys.. TMA or traditional martial arts is legit in many ways.. not all ways tho. MMA comes out of TMA but MMA has good and bad as well. MMA is a sport mostly, and TMA is really not effective as a sport, and only effective at the beginning of a street encounter. MMA and TMA complement each other, but there is no substitute for training in speed, power and technique including all aspects of fitness. All combat is about movement, application and impact.. simple, not easy
