@@sosmexin2078 That's a typical hard vs. so called "soft" styles comment. Master Yap has advanced his skills far beyond a "philosophies of movement". If you don't think his level of skill wouldn't help you in a combat situation--you're the one that is delusional. Or you don't understand the internal arts. Other problem is that there are so few practitioners of the soft styles that have reached this level of mastery. It takes years of practice to reach his level of skill & you'd have to do it under the guidance of a qualified Master of the art. Whereas, a few short years of practice of the hard arts & you have something that will for sure help you in a combat situation.

How many hours training would you say it takes to understand the song .. i mean to be able to not use force and return the other persons power so it does not effect you at all..? I have just started internal with Siukee Wan .. he has written a book called Wing Chun, Sil Nim Tao - the internal path .. i recommed it highly... I was ready to move house just to find a good teacher ..i'm so taken by this art but i am now 47 yrs old and feel gutted thtat this information was not told to us at a school level.. knowing many truths today this does not suprise me in the least... the healing power of the internal has been supressed for many years and for various reasons... these videos has once again put me on a journey of discovery ... thank you and thank all those who have shared this knowledge .. bless all

That technique displayed at the beginning is the same as one of the techniques done Goju Ryu’s Seiyunchin kata. This is awesome! Thank you both for this

Read my latest article discussing the history of WuMei and her art WuMei Quan on my website: themartialman.com/the-history-of-wumei-passed-down-from-grandmaster-chee-kim-thong

wumei taught yim wing chun only one set in her collection and created a whole system.... imagine how extensive her full set of forms is......

Another great and comprehensive interview Kieren, and about an art I have never even heard of. The external arts are fine if you are not planning on ageing, and something we begin with. If one studies the martial arts for long enough and are lucky enough to meet someone with genuine internal power there is no going back, you just have to go there in the end eh.Thanks, Rob Lindsay.

That is just wild. I've trained enough years to know and understand intellectually what he's talking about, but I don't have the physical skill. I've never seen that 4 strike back fist before. I'm still learning after 33 years!

His ability to redirect your own energy seems outside of the usual newtonian physics. I wonder can this only be used with people? Can it affect animals, or plants or even inanimate objects like weapons?

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve never seen this system before. Ideally this needs to be experienced first hand from a Sifu of his caliber. Just watching the video doesn’t fully capture what’s happening and the power you’re experiencing. It was similar with training under Chu Shong Tin many years ago.

I would love to begin learning the first form of Wumei. I have Taiji/WC and 5 animals background and have enough foundation in sung and tendon release/strengthening to understand and mimic some of these skills(in slow non-fighting speed only). Each internal art builds a new mind or perspective to make it work and though internal arts have many similarities they each have fundamental differences that require nuances like learning the location of where those 4 stings in the back are located. It would be of great help and insight to have a video explaining the string theory of the body as it is seen by a Wumei practitioner.

Just to be clear, 'Cotton palm' refers to an evasiveness that allows one's center to be difficult to find. It's a softness that allows a reversal from defense to offense and is a feature of good 'push hands' practice.

That's because Karate was originally Fujian White Crane. After the White Crane martial art made it's way to Okinawa, Japan, it became Karate. White Crane is related to Wumei, and White Crane also has something called cloud hands, I think. Martial Man has an episode on Karate where he is in Japan. I think that episode covers this.

Faced with a master of this system id kindly concede the fight and bow and beg to become a student.

There seem to be a wide range of styles with the name Wumei but with very little in common besides that. Some are very soft internal arts like this, and others seem totally external with just a few gestures in common.

Allways try their techniques against jab, 1,2. Hook, uppercut, overhand haymaker, low kick, clinch. This whole thing leaving the arm strikes is confusing too many people about the reality of fighting. And how they entry on boxers guard.

People often try to compare a boxer, who is literally made out of muscle and could potentially kill someone with one punch and trains all day, to masters who have gotten a reduced form of their art. People did not create martial arts for fun, they did it to kill. Obviously back then there was much more experience in actual battle and the styles were much more refined. Who is going to win in a standoff: A guy who practices at a gun range, or someone who has served in the millitary and has been in multiple deployments? Huge difference.

What he does is similar to what the old martial artists did with the internal energy and meditation/breathing etc..
