Apart from what everyone has already mentioned, I really love how the Chinese teacher is so eager to pass on his knowledge. Without people like him, so many of us would be left in the dark. It's also thanks to you Jesse for going and bringing that knowledge out to us. It looked like he really liked having you. I hope you are able to go back and train more with him.

Sensei Jesse, you are doing the world a great service by archiving this knowledge in video form. Please keep it up!

I like that you framed this as both a demonstration and a disussion - good to discuss and learn with Kata - thats one of the best things i enjoy doing with my Sensei trying to to understand the how, what, when, where, & why

Jesse I just saw your trip to China and was inspiring! You are doing a super important work here on passing down knowledge and keeping traditions alive. I would love to see the other 3 katas, you should definitely go back! Thank you for making us leave this dream trip!

Hi Jesse, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I’ve practiced a variety of arts in the past 30 some odd years, isshinryu, shotokan, northern preying mantis, wing chun, under qualified instructors, and a few others as a result of a curiosity to just compare different styles. It is so fantastic what you’ve done in finding the source of it all, not to mention the father of “ The oldest known Kata”! WOW! Tremedous!

I love this kind of videos where Jesse explores ancient roots of Karate.You are great presenter.Thank you.

I love this! I've been practicing traditional Northern Shaolin for 14 years now and I love history and Okinawan Karate, specially the connection with White Crane which I know a little bit.

I typed up all of the movements of the first Incense Shop Boxing form in detail the best I could following the video, and then your video answered all of my questions! Thank you for your help. -Shaolin disciple & karateka

Outstanding work here Jesse. Thanks for passing along this knowledge to help us understand, not only application, but history. Thank you.

It's amazing. What you show at 10:30 can be found in a lot of our traditional Pencak Silat styles here in Indonesia. Great video!

I'm 35 years old and always wanted to start karate .. watching your videos was the push i needed to overcome the shame and signed for shorin ryu . Thanks Jesse ... Keep up the good work. Big hug from an argentinian.

This is a brilliant comparison Jesse. Thank you for that!

Tucking the tailbone is also important for many Chinese martial arts. While I was practicing Tai Chi (both Wu- and Yang-style) I noticed how important it is and how much it changes the "kata". Great work on this video as always!

Wow Jesse , you’re inspiring me to get back into karate.

I am very appreciative and happy with your efforts to find out about KATA from the original martial arts BECAUSE now KATA in karate is just a movement without content in the sense that many people do it without knowing the essence of the movement! hopefully you will share more of these things with us

So cool. I really enjoy learning the roots of my karate training. This is a perfect addendum to your China series. Thank you!

Damn Jesse, I really freaking love these kinds of videos of yours!!!

Never let karate go completely. Even if you just move thru stance and punch. Pick 1 or 2 katas. Sounded like you let your karate go. It's not about fighting. There's so much more to it as I think you know.

7:20 the move is almost identical to the way a lot of goju ryu practioners perform their osai-uke, particularly those who've trained under the jundokan such as myself. A prime example would be before the last punch in saifa kata or after the sets renzoku punches in sesan

He explains it in his China Trip videos. It's called Incense Shop Boxing. Jesse first visited a White Crane master but it felt not close enough. Then he had a disappointing experience at the Southern Shaolin site. They were wandering about until they bumped into two student with whom they exchanged ideas, to then be kicked out by staff; off that received some intel that one of the 'original' styles is now known as Incense Shop. The story is that when the fighting monks got kicked out by the CCP, some of them regrouped and secretly practised behind an Incense Shop. That guy is one of the few left that still knows about the style. Given the circumstances over the years, it was difficult to gather a large enough group of students to keep the style alive. They might but but I think this footage will become a historic document for future karate history researchers! (By the way, there were a few other encounters with different Southern style practitioners but they seemed tangential to the main thrust of the story. Don't skip them, though! The form applications they show are real eye-openers. Lots of trapping going on that is not evident from the form moves, moves that have a lot in common with moves in katas.)

Very cool but this also show that Karate Masters were really modernizing Kung Fu. Could you show the complete today's Seisan bunkai?

Thank you Jesse for posting, sharing, and Explaining what was shared and imparted to you. I hope you share the second part of the kata that you referenced earlier in this video. Grateful.

Thanks. This is pretty much the way I learned the original and it’s evolution in Okinawa karate. A lot of people don’t seem to get it that the Okinawan masters often adjusted Chinese forms to conform to Okinawan karate kihon, which makes them look a little different, as you show so clearly. Fun to watch.

That's amazing

This is getting very interesting! For military practice I expect to see more arm breaks in martial arts. We see them in the European manuscripts. Even though we haven't kept up on that as being a continuous art we have The manuals of fiore, tollhoffer, and others that demonstrate the necessity of grappling with swordplay. What is often referred to as winden und binden ( winding and binding) which is this sort of circular motion has during contact with your enemy in order to change your position to gain mechanical advantage. Fiore in his manual promotes his techniques with the idea of how often he's broken people's arms. But you'll see no groundwork at all in the manual. all of these holds and breaks are done from standing positions. A single arm wrap followed by a strike very similar to what we're seeing here. He goes to show the universality of combat arms and the military practice of martial arts. It's roots in military practice rather than self-defense.

dude, your sentence is somewhat confusing: Winden und Binden has very little to do with ringen and arm breaks. That is not to say that winding and binding is not important, or is not the art of getting a mechanical advantage; nor is it to say that Wrestling is not important in Swordplay, because especcially arm entrapments and jolting "breaks" are really important. ( I have some vid's on my channel highlighting wrestling, especially arm wrestling techniques) It's just to say that your sentence makes it look as if these two concepts were intertwined, which they are only peripherally.

As usual ..... Brilliant! Thx Jesse Sensei! Who would have thought?!

To see more whipping forms, you can look up another Chinese kungfu style called Piguaquan/Piguazhang (or "Pi Kua Chuan/Chang" 劈挂拳、劈挂掌、披挂拳) which, in the variant names, literally translates to "Chopping/Cleaving/Unrolling" + "Hanging" + "Fist/Palm". The older (and my preferred) 披 name primarily describes the action of unrolling something (e.g. a carpet) or throwing on something (e.g. a covering) but can also mean to scatter/spread apart (typically solid, non-granulated) objects or used in context of opening something. The younger and current 劈 name is much more aggressive and means chopping/cleaving/hacking as with an axe. Interestingly, the Chinese characters reflect this ideological change from a "hand" radical to a "blade/knife" radical.

Interesting how varying lineages developed this kata in different ways. Of note for me is that when I learned this kata well over 30 years ago, when studying Ryukyu Kempo, the whole kata was practiced more slowly with dynamic tension. Though I have moved on to different systems, I have always been fascinated by history of the arts. These are fantastic videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I was watching the very well done demonstration on this video posting (good stuff by the way) marveling how many of the movements were internal hidden in the the external movements. When I originally learned the form (Shuri- ryu) it took me years to realize where they were (and there are abundant variations to work from as well). The point, the art is much more than what is seen and the teaching / learning is only the beginning. Best to you and yours.

It's mind blowing you could tell the tiny differences in each style; and I think you should be proud for having "re-discovered" that original Kata!

That was enlightening! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. Of everything you have shown in your videos this kata is the one thing I most want to learn.

Your Video is a most generous gift, highlighting the vital details of this remarkable form and it's Martial DNA. Deepest Thanks and Best success in your training.
