Traditional Martial Arts - PART 3 - Kung Fu Report
This is Part 3 of our discussion on traditional martial arts. We will explore the question of 'what to do against a tackle' from a traditional martial art point of view. Weapon training plays a very important part in how we move and many attributes transfer to empty hands. Let's discuss it!

Greetings Adam and Chris. Thank you, separate nothing☀️🌿🙏🏾
At the first national competition in 1928, only a small handful of fighters were proficient in western boxing. By the time of the 1929 tournament in Hangzhou, all of the finishers in the top class (the top 10) had significant practice in western boxing (all of the top 10 were Guoshuguan students, and all sparred extensively and studied boxing (the captain of their sparring team placed in the top category in the 1928 tournament with a combination of Xingyi and western boxing)). Additionally, anti-western boxing rules were instituted part way through the Hangzhou tournament. The argument was western boxing impeded the display of traditional Chinese methods, and to better judge the fighters based in their traditional methods, the use of western boxing had to be restricted. In the Hangzhou tournament, this was a ban on consecutive strikes to the head with the hands. In counter point, finger spears (to the eyes and throat) and groin kicks from the traditional arts were banned from the start. If these tools hadn’t been banned, it’s quite possible that western boxing would have been much less dominant as a means of controlling range and entries. Finger jabs are longer range, lower commitment, and harder to defend against than closed fist jabs and the groin kicks of the longfist systems are deployed in such a way that they can severely constrain the stepping patterns used in western boxing (the Thai round kick and teep can similarly disrupt western boxing movement and attack patterns).
What you said about weapons in Wing Chun is the same with us in Choy Li Fut. So many of our open hand techniques are from holding weapons.

I wish that choy le fut was as common as boxing. I come from an fma/Irish cane/piper background, and when I try to use my natural mode of movement, I find choy le fut and karate(minus the kicks) to be the most similar. If I could get access to live sparring within a traditional art, I would never do standard modern boxing like I am forced to do now
i love how chris is visibly happy about each demonstration he survives lol
Man, my heart goes out to Chris. I was my Sifu's main demonstration partner because I was the most muscular of his students and could withstand demonstrations the most. It ain't fun but it's beneficial from a learning perspective. Hang in there Chris. LOL
Man I love your stuff you're a great martial artist thanks for the input
I learned Olympic fencing and stage & screen fencing; 2 different ways of training, but in the context of the latter, the teachers explained why s&s fighting was not usually realistic due to the way the narrative needed to be told. They also talked and demonstrated more realistic moves as a means of contrast. When using one blade, you turn your body to give the least amount of target; when using 2 blades you want to be able to engage them at the same time (sometimes shield and blade which at certain times in history was the norm, if you lost yout spear😂).
Hi Adam, really appreciate this content. You're a great man!
Great stuff! :)
Hey Adam. I had commented on one technique I thought looked off. On Dominic IZZOS show. Now, I’m super nice to him. I stop by. I’m supportive, just like I do here. He doesn’t know that we’ve seen each other’s stuff. But anyways.. he got al mad at me, as if I had said something about you personally. 😂lol. To the contrary, I was real clear about it being a “FUNNY TECHNIQUE “ and made sure to state that your #kungfu is a beast. 😂so if you hear about it. Now you know. Chris’s GAANG SAO attack. He counters, and you had one hand underneath his, allowing him to hit if he wanted too. One of those slips I suppose. But your top arm was underneath his TOP GAANG. 😢I was confused. Lol😂. Nothing serious brother. I support you. 💯💥🙏㊙️percent. I just really hate how nowadays we can’t even have a differing opinion without somebody starting shhh. 😂modern conveniences I suppose.
🙏
Great Stuff! Always check with Grandmaster to make sure your individual concepts are proof-in-concept real. At least, that's what I think one should do.
Cool stuff again, but when a tribal artist was inside a boat or house or inn etc weapons were to long to be used. Hence the Samaritan carried a long and short sword, the short for use inside. If one’s weapons are to long to be wielded then we should be looking at the empty hand arts used. And I believe this is what’s referred to, if incorrectly as functional martial arts v traditional. Be interesting on Adam’s view on what systems were used during these situations.
Can you recommend any training in Chicago?
100% Sifu. Just need to know how to move quickly and effectively. truedat about weapons too. and fight open hand like you have weapons in your hands, and if you really have to fight for your life , grab anything and use as weapon, throw dirt, sand, rocks, garbage, whatever...
Hey Adam Chris What’s your take on what Tate and his minion s Say about woman having no place learn martial arts
I think a lot of people shy away from or discredit the types of fast open hand striking demonstrated here is the liability of them hurting their own hands it takes time and concerted effort to get to a point where you can instinctually move from one strike to another in close range. The risk of not responding correctly combined with the chance of damaging ones own joints makes it less applicable to an average person. Easier to just keep the hand closed in most cases.
If someone teaches me weapons, not that'd I would or could say NO. But really, going up the ladder like in Corporate World is a good idea to get the perspective you need. It's as Computer Science, anyone can get you there. In my all days, I've never seen anything slightly has it is like you describe or narrate or not make it like to be or.
I find open hand more dangerous than a fist!!
If I had to carry a weapon, I would carry a pistol, why carry a pole or wing chun short swords. That doesn't make any sense.
