Martial Art of Kung Fu


hi welcome to watchmojo.com i’m your
host leila today we go in depth with one
of the leading experts in white crane
kung fu who tells us about this
traditional martial art basically white
crane kung fu is a style of traditional
kung fu that comes from Fukien and China
which is as province in southern China
the white crane style was invented by a
woman and consequently the system
focuses on dodging and striking pressure
points so we’re main fist technique is
this way so it’s almost as if we’re
trying to nail points like like a dagger
originally it was meant as a
self-defense method in the crude as
possible means and notice people died
but this is 400 years ago they trained
with weapons obviously it wasn’t for art
it was to defend the village of course
today the health benefits people who do
martial arts tend to eat well go to bed
early train every day so when you’re 40
you’re probably in better shape than
most of your friends so of course is a
benefit to that too and you have some
skill and self-defense if ever the need
arises can it just be a hobby as well it
can be a hobby but you have to take
things in their proper perspective and
today’s society everybody’s in a hurry
they want to learn violin and five quick
easy lesson you can’t learn violin that
way if you do kung fu once a week it’s
ok it’s better than nothing but you
can’t really think you’re doing chinese
martial arts most people were trained at
least an hour a day six days a week i
see that you have some weapons here is
that just to develop skills so of course
originally these weapons were used in
combat for us we’re still using them
with a combat approach in mind and of
course in the civil society i’m not
going to grab a big sword and run down
the street what we can do however
because we’re training with heavy
weapons like traditionally those heavy
weapons will make us develop our arms
shoulders body dynamics also in complete
systems like why crane we have so many
weapons that after studying about
eighteen weapons anything becomes a moet
een this microphone is a deadly weapon
the rope around the microphone your shoe
is a deadly weapon so once you know how
to use so many weapons anything you have
in your possession can become a weapon
and that’s one of the goals thank you
very much for your time you’re welcome
