    In this episode, we travel to Wenzhou, China and meet with some badass Nanquan (南拳 Southern fist) masters. One of them is an old man and makes me grab his balls so I can feel him suck them inside his body (so awkward).
    Fun fact - the guy they had me fight in this episode on the beach is a convicted felon, spent much of his life in jail for killing someone accidentally in a fist fight. He told me this after I fought him.

    The only problem with iron shirt is that it doesn't protect the head or legs. Of course its better than nothing.
    Also the original purpose of iron shirt was for health promotion. Its only later was it used in kung fu.

    Hi Eric, I appreciate your sharing this video. Did you do the subtitles? I was wondering if you have a way to make the English font more legible. Against a black background, the letters are OK, but anything lighter and it's very hard to read.

      Thanks for watching. Yeah, the subtitles are awful, you can thank CCTV 4 (the channel this was broadcast on) for that. Wish there was better ones, but not bad enough to create them myself, haha.

    The style that is mentioned.....magnificent and bizarre five-base boxing....is that the actual name?
    As nanquan is actually a class of martial arts (the southern fist) and not a style per se
    So what other names does the magnificent and bizarre boxing have? Is it an amalgamation of the southern styles?
    It seems have Wing Chin trapping and southern white crane testicle pulling techniques......seems to be mash of styles

    • @EricCouillard
      @EricCouillard  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Rohit, thanks for watching. Magnificent and bizarre five-base boxing is probably a shitty translation from the folks at CCTV. What time in the video did you read that subtitle? Let me know and I can tell you the name in Chinese to give you a better idea of the specific style.

    • @rohitprabhu2758
      @rohitprabhu2758 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Eric Couillard
      No. I should be the one thanking you for your contribution in this showcase of lesser known martial arts.
      Magnificent and bizarre five-base boxing comes at around 4:40 and 4:50 and at numerous other time throughout the video. They also mention the special technique (Shadowless death point striking) to be a part of this style
      I didn't know the subtitles were that shitty. No wonder all of the terms used in this video came up with zero Google search results

    • @EricCouillard
      @EricCouillard  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If I remember correctly, this specific style of martial arts is basically about to be lost. There is no English name because it's mainly only practiced in and around this location, and I don't believe the master has chosen a descendant to carry it on. The Chinese name is 雄奇五基法. You might find some info searching in Chinese.
      "Shadowless death point striking" basically just refers to pressure point striking (often referred to as 'dim mak' in English, which is based off the Cantonese pronunciation of 点脉) done without looking at the point being struck. Instead of using their eyes, practitioners use feeling and standard measurements from one point to find another point to strike. You see this in a lot of old school kung fu movies.
      As far as I can tell, these subtitles were not made by people who speak English very well. If I could I had to guess, they were a vain attempt to meet the minimum requirements of a show being aired on CCTV, the "International" channel. Sorry about that! Let me know if you'd like any more clarification.

    • @rohitprabhu2758
      @rohitprabhu2758 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Damn
      It's sad seeing such good styles fading into oblivion
      I did search the Chinese term that you mentioned
      I found a link to a particular link where there's apparently a DVD with this master's photo on it
      Here's the link: www.21wulin.com/wlshop/goods.php?id=1739
      If it's possible, do let me know what this DVD is about. Is it the same CCTV video footage or is it an instructional DVD for learning this art?
      A Google translation of the title says it to be the Hung Chi fist (I guess)

    In the security industry it is common knowledge that most martial arts
    guys are useless in a real fight. Saying that, if you are a natural born
    fighter, learning martial arts will show you how to become better, and
    if you are lucky enough to be properly trained by a genuine internal
    master you have just won the jackpot of life. They very rarely go public
    but some Western guys, Bruce Frantzis (Adam Mizner, Damo MItchel, Mark
    Razmus) are the real thing.
    The internal skills can only be taught by hands on interaction (at the
    moment) and turn the body into a set of exquisitely tuned elastic
    hydraulic rams with sympathetic resonance awareness.
    Chi is real but a very difficult for the mind to grasp as a concept but
    let's try anyway;)
    Bouyancy creates a centre to peripheral potential force that relative to
    gravity is crucial in terms of biophysics. Like a rubber submarine,
    with a rubber central heating system inside it. The deeper it goes
    underwater, the more it pushes back aginst the crushing forces around
    it. This crushing force is fed through the rubber walls into the rubber
    pipes and struts inside the submarine and is continuously shifting,
    changing density and changing volume.
    Even when completely still, the potential force stored in the elastic
    tissue is significant. Any oscillations caused by sonic / seismic type
    energy the submarine encounters due to environmental noise AND internaly
    generated sound /pressure waves are altered by this potential force
    because density changes pitch, tone and volume. The curved surfaces
    angle of the elastic membrane tissue changes as it is compressed and
    relaxed but even while still, acts as a parabolic sonic mirror to any
    internal vibrations, curved egg shaped parabolic surfaces being the only
    efficient shape to deal with pressure differentials and bouyancy
    requirement.
    Here for the rubber sub analogy to continue we have to fill the
    submarine with water and lift it onto the air, let's call it "H.M.S.
    human body" an anti submarine, whose job is to protect the water inside
    being evaporated off in all directions, and the sailors called kidneys,
    liver, spleen from being too dry or roughly treated.
    The parabolic mirror shape of the fascia and skin type outer layer of
    the H.M.S. human body means that any regular sonic activity inside the
    submarine, eg.sailor heart playing his drums, will bounce around the
    watery internal cavities for a long time as water conducts sound
    brilliantly. As the sound waves bounce off the satelite dish shaped
    outer shell, in certain places in the "human body" the sound waves form
    standing waves and nodal lines of extra volume and relative silence ,
    especially if someone left the sound system on and it is generating
    feedback in very tight high pitched ultrasonic frequencies, and very low
    throbbing infrasonic frequencies.
    Air behaves like a fluid and creates 1.03kg of force per square
    centimeter at sea level, the human body has on average nealry 2 square
    metres of skin. That is two tonnes of crushing force being generated at
    seal level relative to being on a planet such as Mars. If one stand
    inside a large enough bell jar and releases the potential energy, ie
    create a vaccuum the body expands as the potetial energy is released.
    Does that mean that through diligent practice one could gain the ability
    to dilate the central nervous system in it's entirety and release this
    potential energy in tiny, invisble ranges of movement? Hell yes! you
    just have to learn to NOT think for long periods of time as thinking
    contracts the nerves. Plus have fantastic postural alignments and
    superlative breathing habits.
    Come on people, two tonnes of force at your fingertips!
    The art is called nei kung and is popular in parts of China. I learned
    it from a strange and wonderful man called Bruce Frantzis who runs a
    company called energy arts. I am steeped in the language of physics from
    my family background (Father, grandfather all physicists) yet i learned
    these skills out of neccessity as i was disabled in my late teens. I am
    trying to engage with open minded people about the possibility that
    there is a difference between genuine fighting masters of the art trying
    to talk to scientists and hippies and armchair warriors mouthing off
    because they want to feel special. Please check out my TH-cam channel
    where I show these phenomena in action and let me know what you think.
    While breathing from your lower belly;)

    Love the Art, but it all goes out the window when you get punched in the face. The mysticism of Kung fu is fading rapidly due to technology showing just that. :(

    • @EricCouillard
      @EricCouillard  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      most of the mysticism is bullshit. but not all.

    • @combatfitness7092
      @combatfitness7092 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      all of them are bullshit.. they teach you all the foms, and all these bitch slapping ways of fighting.. eg wing chun.. and yet..... when the full contact fights happen, wing chun becomes an art which is all about rushing to your opponent and trying to straight punch them in the face many times with some kicks.. they will not use any combination hand trapping.. thats the reason why western arts are more successful.. because they focus on what works in a real fight and go straight to the point
