Share your techniques

I will be back here later. I hope that we can share through video, pictures or just discuss techniques that we find useful.

Kung Fu Man

By the way can we post pictures in these forums? I am not talking of video, but pictures?

Use photobucket.com and just use the image code.

Hey,

I hope to have some pics soon of different techniques. Just been busy a bit recently.

I hope to also show techniques against grapplers attacks from a kung fu perspective.

Feel free to post any techniques or picture or descriptions that you like.

I'm assuming these techniques have been practiced against trained "grapplers"? Or are you defending a double-leg takedown from a Kung Fu student who has no idea how to do a double-leg takedown?

Regardless, I have a facepalm prepared for these pictures should they ever get posted.

A facepalm isn't enough. The "grapplers" you see in articles where you have a striker defending against a grappler, well they couldn't grapple their way out of a wet paper bag.

..from which hands/footwork?

I like combinations that end with chop and pau choy, especially the ones that leave you in a forward stance, "square" with your opponent.

It is interesting how the pride wells in here, and other forums. I haven't even shown any techniques yet and I hear attack after attack. People just assume things without even seeing them. This is not wise.

Nice Pics, but so true. KungFuMan, it's not about pride. It's about education. I've had to swallow my pride here many times. Get it right and stop being a space cadet. Many Kung Fu guys (and I'm a Kung Fu guy), don't know how to grapple. Which is a pity because it should be included in a complete Kung Fu syllabus. My grappling is more limited to stand up, from my training in Wing Chun. But I also know how to perform a shoot from training with some grapplers.

My arrogance and ego were beat out of me by my Sihing and other training partners. Physically. I used to be a c0cky little kid who thought I knew everything too. Then I got my ass kicked, repeatedly.

Now I just try to learn and improve. I still have lots of PRIDE in my system and I believe I'm on the path to using what works and what doesn't. I love CMA tradition and culture, I'm Chinese for crying out loud.

Just because you like to fight and to learn doesn't mean you're an arrogant asshole. The only people I show any sort of arrogance towards are people like YOU who deliberately make my martial art look bad!

This one is a square on combo, gwa sau chop.

Lead with either hand. Normal gwa sau . . . as your finish the sau choy bring your opposite hand to your head/ear level and drill down.

LOL what is a kung fu perspective.

I've never heard of a Kung Fu perspective. The only perspective I want is the perspective I have when I beat down arrogant assholes who denigrate the martial arts!!!! Video footage is much better, any fool can pose for a photo and look good. Actions speak louder than words.
