- In Quanzhou, the most popular style practiced is Wuzu Quan, or Five Ancestors. This style takes Taizu Quan as its basis, and adds elements of four other styles. In this two part episode, we learn about Wuzu Quan from Master Zhang Xiao Feng.
In this series I team up with Jesse Enkamp aka the Karate Nerd to travel to Fujian province, Southwest China. We are here to explore the arts of Southern Shaolin, particularly the arts of White Crane, Five Ancestors and Luohan. If you wanna check it out early, its already being uploaded to / monkeystealspeach or will be released on TH-cam around March/April next year

You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Angel Sebastian instablaster ;)
@Reuben Marcellus I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Reuben Marcellus It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
I was in Quanzhou in 2016 for the International Wuzuquan Federation conference.
My favourite moment of the trip was when our group were training in the park beside the hotel early one morning. This elderly gentleman walking by stopped to watch. Bear in mind that in Quanzhou they rarely get Western visitors and they are tickled to see Westerners. But they are really delighted to see Westerners practising the local martial art.
Anyway, this gentleman quietly watched and when I finished my form, he gave me a thumbs up and said: "Wuzuquan. Hăo!" I was so chuffed that I just bowed to him and he walked away. I wish I had taken a photo with him.
This Sifu really generated a lot of power in his form, and he seems to be humble and good natured, this is a great series and oh man was the pole demonstration impressive. I was curious where he developed his forearms.
He has the true essence of this form ,very powerful thrust .
it's mosty his fat snaping back that give the effect tho. Power is average
@@sylviesoleil8977 I'm sure you have vids of your own superior martial skills on your onlyfans page.
You said "thrust," huh-huh
Very interesting. I’m a karate guy so I love seeing the collaboration with Jesse. Great work🥋🙏
That guy looks strong as a bull. What he did with that staff takes an incredible amount of strength
He sure was strong! I struggled to hold it straight
similar pole movements to wingchun...excellent vid
@citizens_crusade now cant help but wonder if way back in the day when starting out it was like fma were u use weapons straight away so many added benefits i think of using weapons straight away just for the power training...would take a whole new slant on training and u mental jewels when u are training as well
During the Ming Dynasty (14-17th century) weapons were the primary focus, but then in the Qing it shifted towards empty hands
think we need take it back to weapons training and emphsis on the concepts behind the weapons movement transition of power into empty hands as i have found in my own training with weapons(with the weapons i use not many by the way) i only use wing chun weapons but it covers so much as im sure other systems weapons training does to
This looks A LOT like Uechi-Ryu Karate style Katas!
Wuzu is call 5 ancestors and combine in to one.
1)Tai cho style very hards like karate.
2.)Monkey style is the leg work.
3)Lao hun is the swing and hook like the boxing.
4.)White crane is the wing and flapping against the wind.
5.)Bodhidharma is the chi and shen plus the form all integrate into One.
As also meditation is require to train the mind into stillness and empty the cup .
Some call it zen kungfu
Mainly is meditation.
Maybe it should be karate looks a lot like this style...
Uechi-Ryu is a direct descendant of Wuzuquan (5 Ancestor Fist)
@@_rami_745 Really.... To cool.
thanks for reviewing so many different kinds of kungfu, really interesting !
Love to see it. Must be a strong guy. I studied lethwei / myanmar traditional kickboxing. Went there too... I love to see you guys explore a trail of martial arts
Was introduced to you through your travels with the The Karate Nerd recently. Thank you Will. Such interesting stuff.
Welcome to the channel!
I return to this video periodically - this is what real power looks like.
You must find one of the warriors of Wuzuquan from Indonesia, namely Lo Hak Loen son of Lo Siauw Gok and grandchildren of Lo Ban Teng pure lineage directly from Ho Yang and Yue Tjoen Gan. They are one of the best in the world.
Great to know that there are still some good kung fu masters around, wonder he's based in Jakarta?
id.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo_Siauw_Gok
@@leekc2574 Yes, Lo ban Teng in Jakarta
WOWSERS.... His staff demonstration was very impressive! We call that the dragon staff form. Not sure what they call it. Also, what a kwoon!
I Just Love The Fact Of You Talking Chinese So Good!
Great episode! Thanks for sharing these.
At first I thought the kata was a complex version of wansu but then, no, sanchin on steroids? The intensity, power and aggression is impressive. Definitely very similar to what I was taught in Okinawa - the c shaped stepping was drilled into us from day 1 the idea being to be able to explode forward at any moment and generate power from the ground up and out. Very cool indeed
I see similarities to Ryue Ryu's Katas like Anan, Paiku, Ohan, and Heiku.
Great video and great master of WuZu Quan, thank´s for making this documentary excellent content!!!
I just watched a video one. Both are great. This Sifu has a lot of speed and power. Excellent
This is really similar to karate. YOU can really see that this style is his forefather
Fascinating! You can really see where Karate got it's forms from
Great demonstration by the master!!!
His mastery of sanchin is incredible. Ty Sensei 🙏
From my limited konwledge of the five ancestors fist I think that kata he demonstrated was songsui not sanchin.
Its not Sanchin/Sanzhan... but I suppose what he mean is that he must have a good Sanzhan to be good at the rest of the system
I too thought it was Sanchin
@@mikepcastro3458 sanchin was created from those forms
Thank you for this!!! This is what I wanted to see in Jesse's videos!!!
His video was released today
And that's how I found you!
Keep up the good work!!!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy my content too!
I was hoping Jesse got to see this, decades ago , a strange book hit the Martial Arts world on this style and Ryukyu Kenpo people were fascinated because of the obvious similarities. Great post, oddly, I learned some Xing Yi Quan, then recently a bit of the Dai Family methods and I have started watching your channel daily. Take care.
Thanks for sharing about wuzuquan, it will be wonderfull if you can collect many style of San Zhan/ San Chien / Sam Chiang from many kungfu style in Yong Chun and Quanzhou.
Myself also practicing Hokkien Kungfu / Yong Chun Kungfu in Surabaya, Indonesia. I learned my sifu The Kang Hay. Lineage from Grand sifu Kwee Khing Yang.
I share also my San Zhan style in youtube in case you want to see.
If you compare the way doing the San Zhan of many style then you can see the way energy and explosion power differentiate of each style.
Have a look at my second channel Monkey Offers Peach. It is an archive that has many Sanzhan variations
1:46 Man, you have to be in really good shape to do that form like that, it looks easy, but it's not.
I'm pretty sure I have seen this martial arts before while watching older martial arts films I just didn't know what it was called at the time. I was looking up Channing Tatum's bio and found out he studied it so I naturally had to look it up. What an amazing art form.
One of few rare good wuzu practitioners around. Cheers
amazing master
Strong dude. To move that staff is no easy thing.
Excellent
Awesome...
What is that weapon
And The Videos Are DOPE!
I find your videos fascinating. In view of the failure of some styles to cope with attacks by MMA practitioners, could you do a video on why this is happens.
Ive had the idea on my mind for a while, but need to do such a big topic justice. Lets see....
great stuff😍
Serious man!
很精彩的视频~
Karate nerd is going to upload this in next week
Good demonstration .
What's the Kata 's name ? Thank you
Lol at mobile phone ringing while he’s doing the form
Skilled master
Do you know a channel focused on Li JunRen lineage of five ancestors fist ?
how long is that staff? :O
wah, impressive power and strength. Notice he uses similar whistling exhalation from diaphragm as per white crane
Wuzu Quan (Chuan) in Mandarin / Ngo-cho Kun in Cantonese.
Ngo-cho Kun is the Hokkien (Southern Fujian dialect) pronunciation.
A step is neither soft nor heavy. It a step is the expansion and contraction of your spring.
Hey will I learn tai chi Kung fu I am going to move to China when I am 17 I hope I get to see you I want to learn every style of Chinese martial arts I live in Oklahoma you are the best
Karate Indonesia osh...
It would be fascinating if I could see something on my screen.
I'm so confused now I did wu zu quan as a kid and mu school did this forms aswell but then the was alot of things that were suspisous like the master can transfer his chi into a jacket or wallet and give it to others to use so like is it a fake school or real because we did training similar in the video.
Wuzuquan is real. That "master" you mentioned sounds shady.
i like especially how he uses all his abdominal area in every move!.
This Sifu movement more experienced, focused, sharp, and crisp.
is there any way to contact zhang xiao feng? I plan to go to fujian and i practice wuzu quan in my home country so i would like to learn from him when i visit
His Wechat ID is pqpqpq5589
You uploaded this before our karate nerd
Hey, we actually worked on this project together, but both with our own focus and portrayal based on our different backgrounds. So what we are both releasing comes out at different times.
@@MonkeyStealsPeach yeah man that's all right, I am enjoying your video. Now I am watching the weapons. All the best dude.
Welcome!
This is not fighting.... this is more art than fighting.
GOOD KUNG FU!
讚👍
请问现在福建还有没有林贤五祖拳的徒弟徐金栋的师兄弟吗？
I am aware that his kata is not sanchin because it is Kung fu and not karate. I was trying to point out how much the same they are, the similarities in essence between karate and Kung fu show that they are in fact the same thing and not different as many tend to believe
This isnt, but Wuzu Quan’s first form is Sanzhan. If you watch my Taizu interview from Singapore you can see the Sanzhan as Wuzu and Taizu are essentially the same
Do you have a link sensei?
The end screen of this video should display it
🙏 ty Sensei
The other styles don't "come from" Wuzuquan. Wuzuquan is a synthesis of 4 other styles; 5 in the case of the Chee Kim Thong lineage through Wu Mei.
Very good video, thanks for sharing. But at the begining, I don't think the statement is the correct understanding. Five ancestor fist is a composite style of fujian white crane, taizuquan, luohanquan, and monkey style. Not the other way around. all of those styles must have preceded wuzuquan to become it's five ancestors (fifth ancestor is Bodhidharma/Da Mo chi-gong but not a quan style in-and-of itself). Five ancestor fist is the child of those five styles.
(Sorry in advance if I mistook what you said in the video.)
If you watch the next episode where Master Zhang talks, you will see he explains the make-up of Wuzu as you said
Very interesting. I always assumed Bai He and Luohanquan preceded Wuzuquan, and that it was a synthesis art. I guess your theory is that it was “split apart” at some point.
I said it the wrong way round lol! Taizu and Luohan are the oldest, and yes Wuzu is a synthesis art. What makes it confusing is that Taizu and Wuzu are often used interchangeably too
Monkey Steals Peach That makes more sense. I’m loving the videos on the Southern styles. I’m a Xingyi/Bagua/Taiji guy, but I got my start in CMAs with Choy Li Fut, and my IMA teacher also knows Wing Chun and White Crane. These videos, and Martial Man’s, are making me want to ask him to teach me some White Crane.
@@CrossingFist Crane is a very cool style. I'm the same as you though I practice northern stuff.
Monkey Steals Peach Yes, I know. I saw your interview with your Taiji Tanglang Shifu. He seems like a very cool guy, and he clearly has the goods. That Mantis footwork reminds me a lot of Bagua.
I want him to fight xu xiao Dong
Xu Xiao Dong isn't a good fighter; my money would be on this guy.
Xu Xiao would run.
xu xiao dong only dare fight some fake kungfu guy
@@xinyiquan666 unfortunately not some, but many fake kung fu guys around.... Hahaha
@@xinyiquan666 Well his whole point is to expose fake kung fu guys so I don't see why he should fight this guy at all
I came here after watching karatenerd.
is this the same guy who was an episode of kung fu quest he was a body guard in taiwan?
No, this guy is from Quanzhou in China. A couple of teachers in later episodes were on Kung Fu Quest though
@@MonkeyStealsPeach ok he just looks very similar to a guy in that series maybe same style to.
I have a friend who is a student of the guy in Taiwan you are thinking of. Im hoping to visit Taiwan sometime soon
@@MonkeyStealsPeach ok nice you gona film it
i think this guy an the dude in taiwan are probably only a hand full of guys who efficient in there actual kung fu and keeps the name up in real combat maybe?
Tao huo XING nah tao se tjiao Cheng si nenng Hai ghji xin Lao nah qwuan te
Doing single repetitive techniques like kicks or punch for thousands times is better than training kata, ive tried it in kyokushin before with my pal we ditch the kata training and intead focusing on punches and kicks we become much more better in sparring
You should do both.
Sparring is not be all and end all of the art... For lifetime practitioners they can't spar for the rest of their lives....
I am a Kyokushin karateka like you. At the dojo, there are times when we want to spar and focus on drills, and our teacher obliges, but he always makes sure to make us have at least one session dedicated to doing kata every few weeks. We even do bunkai for the movements in the katas, which is rare for most contemporary Kyokushin schools that teach kata for students so they can advance to higher belt ranks. He makes us do this because he says we must not forget the traditional aspect of Kyokushin Karate, because if we did, there would be no difference between us and kickboxers in terms of fighting. It is the katas that make karate, well, karate. I am not saying you should not focus on sparring and training drills - they are certainly what makes Kyokushin the art it is today - but you should not neglect kata completely. It will certainly be a refreshing change from all of the padwork, and who knows, maybe you might learn something new about the art we practise.
Beautiful, but where's sparring and real applications????
Pretty easy to get those real applications watching his training, if you have the MA experience.
Tá parecendo mais com karatê que kung fu
A China é um lugar grande e o chamado "Kung Fu" engloba muitas artes diferentes. Além disso, o Wushu moderno não se parece exatamente com o Wushu tradicional. As artes de Fujian têm muito em comum e parecem bastante diferentes das artes de outras partes da China. O Karate de Okinawa vem das artes de Fujian, daí a semelhança.
@@WuzuquanSpain Na verdade o Karatê se originou primeiro do shaolin.
@@WuzuquanSpain Segundo os relatos, o shorinjin kempo foi o berço do karatê no Japão. O primeiro karatê
@@yanglikungfu452 Shorinji Kempo foi fundado no Japão em 1947 por Doshin So. O Karate foi introduzido no Japão por um Okinawa, Gichin Funakoshi em 1922, que havia estudado Shorin Ryu e Shorei Ryu. Os okinawanos negociavam com os fuquineses e praticavam Karate há séculos antes disso. Shorinji Kempo definitivamente não é a base do Karate Japonês.
@@WuzuquanSpain Sei não, as histórias não contam assim, mas como não treino karatê, meus colegas q treinam, vc deve tá certo. Mas O Shorin Ryu deve toda sua base no shaolin kung fu, é os relataram q Shorinjin Kempo surge assim como o Karatê de Oknawa grã do shaolin Kung fu, afinal os japoneses herdaram tudo da China, até mesmo a cultura. Mas so falei devido como o vídeo
A essr brav si brav
Però tien nu footwork streuz assej
Autentico
Truly impressive I have seen such kind of master when I lived in Taiwan, nice people with real ability, but it doesn't work once the fight incorporates kicks and take downs.
karate修炼方法和武器跟功夫一摸一样啊。为何还叫karate。我很不懂日本武道和中国武道有啥区别。
空手原来叫唐手，琉球人把福建武术学了之后的说法是”这是唐人的手法”。可是日本帝国期间，唐手到日本大陆，他们为了民族主义要删除跟中国的关系。就把名字改成”空手”。基本上是这样，你还是查查百度确认我说的对不对
How long he can last with a street fighter??? Two minutes??? Less?
You had serious doubt about this type of martial arts. Instead of wanking around with fearsome named styles, just pick a Kung Fu man who sincerely train his body to be an armor of steel, hands of iron palm, reflexes faster than a cat they can beat any of your brute street fighters. Your disappointment is, these men don't strut around challenging everyone for fight because they don't have to. Real fighting for survival takes seconds not grappling for each other's arses on the ground.
Nice to see but for self defense 😬
Im sure master Zhang is strong and all. Although he looks kind of fat, i bet his core is powerful . But seems you doesn't have much leg flexibility and his hips are kind of stiff.
… looks like Chinese Karate to me …. not really wing chun, he is using alot of space ..
Who said its Wing Chun?
what a crock
