🤔😊😂😥👍
THE MARTIAL MAN This is fake . My system is best
Dangerous to try ? hahah dont make me laugh because amature MMA is deadlier than this
They sucks
You went to all of way Malaysia to sucks...man get a girlfriend...
"youre lucky my hand showed mercy"
What a legend.
A legend indeed!
As a Fujian White Crane practitioner based in Taiwan, I can honestly say this is one of the best examples of FWC applications on TH-cam. You know a teacher is the real deal when he lets the partner attack freely and responds spontaneously in a demo as opposed to having the partner stand still with an arm out like a dummy or only showing choreographed moves.
Reality of self defence,not like fake masters,👍
Agree with you, absolutely excellent, a rare and real kung fu practitioner indeed.
My teacher studied this and speaks about it- the closely related and somewhat rare "Shaking Crane" style. WIth that speed and the internal energy behind it, those quick sharp strikes break bones easily. He also said the shaking crane practitioners had unbalanced chi and were a little crazy... this guy has it, but does not seem crazy. Good practicing to all.
yes but it isn't like the white dude is actually throwing proper strikes with full intent. all of the "energy" talk is BULLSHIT.
@@houseofaction it doesn't matter, I guarantee you couldn't land a punch on that old man.
now say what you want about energy and chi I don't know much about that type of stuff either, but all I can go by is how quick he was moving.
I get the impression this master doesn't seem too concerned with comparing his style to other styles. He's just good at what he does, and if there is any threat to his life he will instinctively find a way to address the situation, and he will hurt you. Very no-nonsense. You can tell that he uses his presence to already control the situation before even touching. ---- Sanchin (and all its cultural-historical variations) is truly fascinating.
He is one of the best ove seen interviewed , its hard for him to show what he means with slow movements becuase he can't have the Qi reaction he talks about, other ppl like to rehearse things, his movements was more realistic and ive noticed Bruce Lee with some of those same movements . this sifu is the real deal
The sifu said he were not know what style you were used ?
He said just don't think any things in the mind and just empty the mind .
He were respond by instinct.
一门深入。Means Focus on Just One Style.
This is the differece between Master Ong and Master Bruce Lee.
If Master Bruce was to just focus on Wing Chun, he could have become the second Ip Mun. However he took martial art as a philosophy study and reinvented the wheel call Jeet Kuen Do and this indirectly over exert what his body can take and on the fateful 20th July 1973, he was downed with headache, took some OTC medication for that and passed away.
@@colinseet7710 Bruce Lee was not good in Kung Fu.
@@KeytoKungFu I am referring to reinventing the wheel. Please read my comments carefully.
That master is scary. What a legend and a fierce human.
I like this old Sifu, he's direct and to the point. I hope his students train hard and maintain this lineage
R Neate
Sifu is rare style of shaolin Wuzu white crane inner hall of shaolin .
His linkage is going to extinction as this style is difficult which no much student ?
Hope he can find the right student to spread this art.
I am his student for near 50 yrs yet is near to his level.
@@vipassanamasterzenng5780 Learn as much from you Sifu as you can and start training new blood.
By the way, in Singapore there is also a San Cheen Do master Teo Choon Teck, is he from the same linage? (www.sancheendo.org/)
@@colinseet7710 don't think they are directly related, but possibly indirect. Although master Teo also from the wuzu lineage, but the emphasis is on tai zu quan.... By the way, all wuzu practitioners are directly or indirectly related...
@@leekc2574 Thank you for your clarification. No wonder Master Teo's movements differs from Master Ong's.
Wuzu form is it originated from Song Dynasty founding emperor Zhao Kuang Yin?
As Master Ong's lineage is White Crane, a few movement he demonstrates resembles Wing Chun.
@@colinseet7710 From my understanding, Song dynasty founding emperor was good at martial art. He visited Shaolin temple to see more art forms in the temple. Upon the request of the chief monk, the emperor also shared his martial art. The chief monk was impress with the emperor's martial art n asked for permission to be practised in the temple, thus the Tai Zu Quan is being passed down till today. Wu Zu consists of 5 styles, namely Tai Zu, Bai He(crane), monkey, Lohan and the Lady(玄女）。
Master Ong is more crane style inclined, with a bit of monkey style.....
Master Ong is one of good martial artists around. Happy to see that. Cheers
You can see by his attitude, and his movement, that he has a fighters mindset
Much is hidden but awesome nonetheless
This man demonstrates that one can still incorporate the spiritual elements of such fighting arts without sacrificing directness and efficacy. Seriously, the mans speeds even at his age is impressive and he makes it look so effortless, it's as if these techniques are but reflexes to him. Not to mention despite how slight his movements seem, there is good deal of power behind him. It is as they said in the video. It's as if he's putting his whole body into these movements even if all the mechanisms behind it are not visible to the human eye.
Sifu Wong CK is so fast can’t catch by naked eyes.
His70 yrs of progressively training till today.
Every day is an inspiration to him.
He train to empty this mind as focus at present moment waiting for any respond with an instant reflex with such a fast speed at his age.
He is speaking Taiwanese or fukenese

Sifu Ong CK
Speak in Hokkien .
One can clearly see the influence this style had on Okinawan karate, especially uechi ryu & goju ryu.
I agree. I've practiced Uechi ryu since 1971. We call it Sanchin but the link is obvious.
Yes
I agree.
You can feel it
@@shevetlevi2821 I agree I am also a practitioner o f UECHI RYU karate
but don't forget white crane has 5 different branches... this is just one of them and maybe others also have influence too..
And Wing Chun also!!
Incredible interview. For those young folks who aren’t aware The Martial Man knows how to fight and fight well. If you watch his face the whole time, he’s bearing witness to next level education. This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen in quite some time. This channel is amazing.
As Malaysian eventhough I'm Malay. I'm so proud our country have great Master here. Salute from Silat Practitioner.
Surprising, isn't it.
Yet they all look like ordinary 'uncles', not muscular gym nuts.
Even more surprising is the extensive and in depth influence of chinese kungfu
on silat in the region.
Thanks for your kind words, this old man is my grandmaster and i am proud to learn White Crane kungfu under him.
@@wertyyuipowertyyuipo learn until become grandmaster ya. Take all the knowledge. I wish all the best to all of you. Especially your grandmaster.
@@Billy-Mandalay agree
@@insurancewhen0095 thank you you are most welcome , i wish too ,now i do it daily non stop even the most basic move. I really love and thanks my Sifu and also my grandmaster Ong
Crazy how fast he can move for his age!
For any age...
Badass !!
wow, his speed and accuracy at that age is amazing! Clearly there is power in this form.
mjphyil yes I agree. Master Ong’s speed and accuracy is quite amazing for his age at 84 years old
@@THEMARTIALMAN 84 years! O.O
Francesco Lo Cascio yes

His moves are like crane snapping, flapping it's wings. Very interesting sifu.
Karate's root is from this style. I look at Uechi Ryu Karate and I can see lot of similarity along with other Okinawan style of Karate that derives from this white crane kung fu.
That gentlemen is worthy of a full documentary. A treasure the world should be able to learn from before all of his mindset and generation are gone from this plane.
Thank you 🙏🏻 so much for providing access to his wisdom and Qi
Yes agreed sir.
It soon on extraction list.
This style is difficult as it is keep progressing.
As he is 70 yrs of training and no limit of progress.
Of the mind and body.
I am his student for 50 yrs and still in progress.
@@vipassanamasterzenng5780 I would definitely like to see more
11:21 a real kung fu movie sound effect
If you have microphones you will hear those sounds even if you are teaching to cook or cut your hair. They are not intensional "effects". But when you practice with loose clothes you hear a very similar noise, of the fabric whipping with the body due to inertia. It is more normal than it seems.
He seemed to want you to attack him far harder and stronger!
this man, his punch movements.. Very much look like Bruce Lee!
seeing him move I have to say that man, even at his age, is a bad ass and I'd say he could take most people many times younger than him. That is a true trained martial artist.
But not though...
Can't imagine how strong he is, when he was young
The photo shown at 1:29 in the video is of Master Ong when he was in his prime at 55 years old.
@@THEMARTIALMAN damm he looks super fit even at 55.
@@THEMARTIALMAN what? his prime was at his fifties?? Awesome!
@@THEMARTIALMAN damn he was pretty buff lmaoo
The best masters actually get stronger. Too much external muscle size can interfere with speed and flow. Internal energy grows over time, technique improves. Don't mess with old masters!
Thank you.
One of my favorite styles, thank you for sharing this sifu 🙏
This Master is one of the few that looks like he really understands what is required to apply his style in a real fight! Really good to see,
Another proof that the chi is just as important for any movement and strike to be effective. The simplest movement can be devastating. 😊
whats a good practise to develop qi? qi gong ? tai chi?
@@heyoooooo I am not sure. My friend spent one year in Taiwan learning Chen style Tai Chi where he learned his chi kung. He practiced every day with the Sifu which costed him some bucks, but worth every penny. He's able to move his chi around his body.
Observe those energetic peaks in the open hand form and with the staff his student demonstrated.
Very telling. Very illustrative of the 3 battles. Any good martial artist knows the struggle to combine breath with movement, and
energy. Thank you so much for exploring the deep aspects of these Eastern styles. Invaluable content.
Idiot. That old fuck would ghost your ignorant ass.
Yes, the correct way to breath. I am even now learning that there is a proper way to kiai. And there are different kiai, according to different moments of the battle.
David Rieger the breathing is one of the most misunderstood parts of the form. Breathing is done through the noise, however the breathe is expressed from the mouth. You’re right about the different Kiai’s. Various sounds create a specific vibration in the body which is coordinated and paired with certain movements to generate maximum power.
@@davidrieger1483 i wonder, should i shout "KIAII" before or after the strike?
@@ruud4508 Well you want to Kiai as you are striking. However, it should not be extremely loud. Rather it should be a low tone, smooth kiai to ride the rhythm of the strike. If you try it and feel yourself it actually makes a lot of sense.
Spirit here means:
Open up the eyes like a ball .
Bite the mora teeth as hards as possible.
It bring out the the nerve of the neck.
Bring in the stomach.
Squeeze up the ass.
Draw the energy in from the ground.
Then every stroke and strick it come in an instant like this Sifu wong cw.
This is the secret of shaolin inner hall show by sifu.
Thank you!

What is mora teeth? You mean molar?
@@truthseekerknight1281
Molar teeth.
Also the jaw is clamp
There by all the neck nerve is lifted.
I am a karate practitioner, and just watching this has given me tremendous insight into several of the Kata that we practice and has even shown me some new applications fo techniques contained in the kata that I would never have noticed.
We would please to show you more insight that will enhance your kumite. Few can ippon you . I assure you

Hmm someone is flirting with you and it sounded very very creepy.
Yeah totally. I have learned a few forms of Sam Chien/ Sanchin and now feel like I never learned a thing. I feel like this opened a new door or two.
I moved to HK over 7 years ago to Study Hung Kuen and do research into how the techniques compare to other martial arts! Keep up the great work!
I am so impressed of this master! Thank you for your great job!
I think this might be the specific lineage of White Crane that influenced Uechi-Ryu. This was amazingly insightful.
This man may be old but he knows how to really apply energy and spirit
2:30, 3:20, 7:05, 8:03 - 10:00
Direct strikes are enough. There's no need to use too much
Spectacular! Thank you for making this available!
angstgegner
Is there is a documentary about his life is more wonderful.
Like how he was train by his Grand Sifu Chua Chun .
How he came down to Singapore train us ?
He used his whole life in Kungfu and open a clinic the injure like broken bone etc.
His secret never reveal till soon going into extinction.
This elderly man proves that tendon strength is vital and often what Westerners lack and fail to train. Muscle breaks down quickly as you age but tendons stay sturdy for the most part. This is why this can move with such speed, reaction time etc
Master Lee
Yes
Sifu Ong CK
Said that this pull up the neck nerve as biting the jaw.
It allow all the organ and nerve to regenerate it healthy systems .
Till now age 84 .
Well noted.
To the west, size is a big deal.
To south east asians,
a lean, wiry frame
can endure more.
Thank you for sharing this! Absolutely amazing spirit.....
Love this chap need him around my area-Bless him,never underestimate Anyone!
It's amazing how his whole being can transform so instantaneously. At any age really, but especially at his age. And the motions are so fluid, all instinctive. Decades of practice!
This man has got a body of a teenager although he is an elderly. That is probably the beauty of king fu, not its efficiency.
Kraft Werk Master Ong is in great shape for a man who is 84 years years old.
@YK Yeah, Master Ong doesn't look his age at all. White Crane Kung-fu is working for him :)
He already captured your spirit.... nice life long practice.
Thank you
all in the breath..great video
Nice video. I lived in Asia for over 25 years and sought out old and genuine masters, who are sadly declining. To grasp the traditional teachings that are dwindling can help in the learning of mastering your own style(s). To find the seed in the curtain of clouds and indeed, the continuous training that one must prevail, you can find and understand what has been passed on through so many generations. Again sadly, that “seed” is being lost in today’s times. Take time to see and “feel” what was, and what is now. Oh, yes, I’m now over 70 and truly treasure those encounters and teachings that might get lost in the future.
In the modern day.
The seeker is for thrill
Entertainment and short term joy.
It is true were forever lost as very fews is interested in a long journey of practice and only successful if the seek is found .
Even the karate 10 Dan keep seeking the original source like shaolin till bodhidharma.
Do you think bodhidharma ready teach kungfu .
I doubt so.
He only teach no mind
No thinking
No fear
Just be still like a matrix.
I love the noise made by his bones every time he strikes or moves.
Amazing document. Nice work letting eveyone know about these true masters. Thanks a lot.
Great demo fo how the inner strength work when real fighting. The Master is quite a model. So are you.
You mean how it doesn't....work.. in real fighting..
Cool video, I love how you get the background story of the family and origin.
Liked
Cheers
I luv the sound effects
It probably few coins in a box inside his pocket..
I'm from Spain. I was living in Japan and practicing Japanese traditional karate for 8 years there. After knowing this style I feel that I wasted my time doing something that has been so watered down and ideologically biased that it is not even healthy. They teach you that typical "macho" kamikaze type of thinking of "always charging forward and never step back", which never matched my personality and I felt always pushing myself too much to change myself to something that I'm not.
When I was searching the roots of karate and I found the white crane style I felt in love with it. Even I'm now 44 years old I want to learn it and reset many wrong things that I learned from Japanese karate.
But here, in Spain, I think that there are no masters of this style. Where I live there are many Chinese people but I doubt there is somebody knowledgeable about this who can teach me. It would motivate me a lot to learn it because I'm now with depression and anxiety. It would be a way to correct my mistakes in martial arts which are also connected with a life being forced to be unnatural.
AWESOME Video, THANK U VERY MUCH👍👍👍😍😍😍
We need the tiger counter part🙌🙌🙌
amazing
Great Sifu, great video 👊
how quick are his fing hands, one system he's learnt for most of his life, a true expert.
i thought those sound effects are only on films
I'm from Malaysia and he is speaking in Hokkien. The truth is, i understand the language but if there is subtitles. Im gonna use it to it's maximum xD
Old man can kick ass. Take a bow granps.
what a great interview
thx for your contributions
AWESOME
The hand trapping technique from this master reminds me of Bruce Lee's JKD stuff. Great video and a lot of respect for this master.
Awesome thank you
No problem!
This old master is still in his prime! God Bless him
9:05 Good example of putting the body behind a hand technique.
Yes Sifu Wong CK never move a step and just leave the body behind.
That is still like a rock as the empty mind ready to react to any respond.
Leave the body behind.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing
You know how powerful he is just looking at his speed, no chance have this with only phisical power.
Beautiful art and skills displayed
Impressive old master, not only has power, great workable techniques, but fantastic sound effects 😁
Another fascinating upload and insight both into a fighting style and the sifu behind it - the 'spirit' or presence is an interesting aspect too. I can see obvious parallels with hakka flavoured arts here in terms of the instant spring reaction/power and trained intent. Thanks Keiran.
That's exactly what I thought. I've seen a hakka martial art performance before and remember a similar body vibration aspect to it.
great video
This was great. The way he used his bodily energy and loose limbs was very effective. He has very direct movements that should secure victory. Also the technique is not precise it is fluid, like water. Meaning all he has to to is be flexible, and overwhelm you. I also noticed an advanced spiritual energy. Not in the sense of a monk or religious man, but spirit of the warrior was prevalent. Going full speed, you can seriously hurt somebody like this.
sadly if you go to a mma gym, no one there knows about spiritual energy.
Sifu wong said his kungfu is for defend only.
After 70 yrs of training .
Till today Never get to used his art.
Thank you so much for share it. I am very fanatic of southern wushu, in special bei he quan (white crane fist).
The "pulling up the neck to raise the spirit" is part of Taiji too, and perhaps is common to many kungfu systems, with variation. :)
And yeah, I gotta say as well, the speed and accuracy with which Sifu Ong *springs* into action is phenomenal !!!
My favorite video on this channel, I am very impressed about his speed hands, beautiful style, long life to this grand master.
As a Malaysian I am proud.
Be careful.
Every ordinary looking
chinese "uncle"
or malay "pakcik"
could be a crazy expert. lol
Just watching him move and vibrate teaches San chin
Oh this Sifu is amazing 🙏, thank you for this video. What a spirit.
May be one of the most interesting White Crane 用法 (practical application) on TH-cam
I’ve sat here stuck watching this video over and over. To see Candace Xpress to Andrew how she saddened that he left Christianity all the while reaching to him the need of a strong advocate like him to speak the truth to help our failing country is truly heartfelt and amazing. Andrew is a true ambassador to upholding men, his faith and the truth. You can see it in his eyes and the way he gulps, he felt her plea.
This video is awesome. Respect this sifu
Very Good vídeo! Like
I train in Ngor Chor Kun (Five Ancestors Fist) and the main core of the system is Sam Chien. It's good to see a true Kung Fu master at work here.
Powerful !
That’s awesome, you can really see the crane in the movement.
I believe what Master Ong Chin Kwee has to say about 'spirits is true. There is a correct spirit and an incorrect spirit, that's it. According to this clip, a person can learn to harness the correct spirit by engaging themselves with the 3 battles. This makes much sense because I know that if I am filled with the incorrect spirit, I am already defeated and it is impossible to survive, you cannot, and you will end up a 'dead man walking, like me. Therefore, if I am dead, the only way for me to live and survive is to harness the correct 'spirit'. By achieving this, the correct spirit will live for me, if I am lucky, because I cannot, I am already dead. -"Boogie Theory"
You should try and get an interview with Grandmaster Victor Kan in London - is a powerhouse of a man.....
at 84, this sifu can break your wrist and arm easily if he wants to! it's like natural muscle instinct. look at that speed! training must be very tough during his time.
Sifu Ong CK
Was train by Grand master Chua kun.
He still a kid at age 14 yrs at kampong.
That was around 1930 and in the kampong has Harding any entertainment or night life.
I heard he pratice inside the fish pond where there is a lot of green sloppy weep.
As every step he move must lock his lifted up the ass to maintain it balance .
I thing today no one can survive under this environment of the 1930.
I don't think it would be any tougher than the training professional fighters to through nowadays. In fact you could say the training was likely easier, though the conditions would be worse and the knowledge less, I guess that could be construed as difficulty.
There also isn't much weight moving in those strikes so they will be pretty quick, the same as a boxers jab.
@@AveSicarius
This is kind of internal organ and all the main 12 nerve to rejunibenate and alive.
As age 84 grand master Ong is super at the speed.
Normally breaking limb is waste of time.
It go direct to dip out the eyes and twists the balls.
It is not heavy weight challenge but life and dead.
So it healthy and alive is more important than challenge.
@@vipassanamasterzenng5780 you cannot break someones limbs that easily, especially when you are older. It requires a lot of leverage in a particular position, usually in a grappling scenario not the movements you see in striking here. It is also very difficult to accurately gouge out someones eyes, or to attack their testicles given the conditions in a real fight.
With adrenaline going, both of those attacks will not put someone down even in the unlikely scenario you get them off.
If I get you in a rear naked choke and you attack my eyes then you get your neck broken, if I'm striking and you try to attack my eyes while I'm moving my head; you get a blast to the chin.
Do you see the trade off in that scenario? I can't see very well at worst compared to being unable to fight.
Such techniques are unrealistic due to the conditions of combat and generally only included when you don't actually do any stress testing, not to mention legal issues even if you did manage the impossible and pulled it off.
@@AveSicarius
Grand Sifu Ong CK is a bone healer etc.
Surly one is smaller in size and has weak bone.
Were be easily break.
If the opponent interlock all joined with chi and yi
With the strenght intact .
Yes is difficult to break them.
i was reading online and they have a white crane kung fu school here in alaska. but thats also 2 hours away from me. and for that reason im going to be taking up seibukan jujutsu in a month or 2 and working towards a 2nd black belt in another style. i have 1 black belt already in chinese kenpo took me 4 years to get it but all that hard work payed off.
"When Sifu goes into this state you can almost feel there's a presence there."
I love kungfu anyway
Pelo que conheço é uma boa técnica de bloqueios e contra ataques. Em um ataque em briga de rua no meu ver é eficiente!👍👍👍
Much appreciation sir! Yet another awesome video. I learned some minor crane during my Shun Wu Tang training but this is on another level! I hope this guy has trained at least 3 people to carry on his system....as hes def old school about his principles with regards to students. Respect to him for sticking with it. Lots of people teach for the money and not for the continuation of system and it shows now-a days with Gungho kungfu with no real ability. Keep up the good work and belated happy holidays!
Hope he long live and train more people
Thank you! It is refreshing to see another iteration of Sanchin, one of the oldest forms (kata in Okinawa) that is central to many martial systems.
Yes this shen (意)
Is alive like a cat.
the real ip man
This is literally the most mind blowing thing I have ever seen
Thanks for watching!
This is very interesting. I tried practicing the Shen spirit concept clenching the molars and focusing intent in my Silat and to my surprise it's gives me a sort of goosebumps sensation, (and excitement) sort of feeling which definitely helps create an inner energy. This White Crane is very good Kung fu I feel.
PhilipTheRed
Yes it is inner hall of shaolin only teach Shen ( 意）。
Very rare and soon face extinction.
Serious Sifu Reminds me of the Chi gung guys Master Alan Lee would have come by the school on occasion!
Energy and speed, got it!
Having practiced Southern Chinese arts for a bit now I finally have an understanding of what I'm looking at. This is top level kung fu. Simple skills with simple body mechanics and structure practiced ad nauseum develops a ridiculous amount of refined power in the movements. "Chi" is just a concept. It's not magic. See "The deep front line" and human movement science. It can't be judged from the mechanical perspective of western boxing.
very interesting. Studies point to the origin of karate coming from this style. seeing its hard and soft aspects it is very clear the similarity. mainly okinawa styles goju e ueshi Ryu.
Yes sir .
Thank you.
There recognise the origin.
God bless you with lots of love Grandpa 🙏
One of bests films on Kung Fu masters ever, congrats. PS. The sound effects better than Hollywood action movies!
