@@brandontodd14 best answer ever, it's the art of scamming, you're right. This master is fake McDojo looking forward to scam 💸 out of students' wallets. He applied those moves wrongly
In Gung-Fu there really is no such thing as a Master.. You're simply a Master Student as all Gung-Fu can never be learned in 10 lifetimes. That's why in old Kung-fu movies, even a Shaolin Monk who was the top exponents of Gung-Fu would only say they know a LITTLE Kung-fu
wow, I really love the 5 Ancestors Fist. I think the instructors you were interviewing really sold me on the system. plus, they were funny, witty, and seemed like they could make the material understandable and more importantly...learnable. keep up the good work
It’s great you explore other systems! You being a artist yourself! You understand their principles. Lot better than someone who hasn’t been expose to other styles!
Wow. I am starting to understand it all now. I totally understood what the master was saying and doing because I am just knowing how my structure works. It is quite an amazing feeling to finally understand how internal arts work. As soon as I understood, my mind and body simply became one and the body understood the mind and the mind understood the body. "Too seek hardness, you must seek softness first." I need to meditate on this now. Wow, my percpective has changed dramatically. Thank you Martial man for this interview. Keep going. My question for you is: What did he whisper into your ear?

The originators of these styles of martial arts are brilliant and very intuitive to human biology, ergonomics, reflexes, etc., as well as physics, Qi, etc. I love the thought they've put into developing these styles.
Love it. Very interesting how closely float, sink, draw, and expel correspond to peng, an, lu, and ji from taijiquan. I'm a bagua/xingyi/taiji guy, but my Sifu also teaches white crane and Wing Chun. He's told me numerous times that white crane has the full internal picture. The southern short arm styles are very clever. Thanks for the work in producing your vids, and thanks for sharing these wonderful interviews.
Love love this video and the masters. Thank you master Krygier! Long time practicioner here. Seen this done by few rare masters. The explanation is done well here. In my long search journey, I found high martial arts and high faith to be parallel. Saw the 5 elements explained differently here. My goal was to conquered martial arts. The opposite happened. Martial arts conquered me. "I have to know myself first before the enemies". I am so humbled by this journey. Amen.
I've dealt with internal martial arts practitioners over the years to know that trying to get these guys off balance is like trying to push over a tree. They are so well grounded, it's ridiculous. Your caption at 0:32 was spot on about not being able to see the power on film.
These principles can be applied to a lot of styles but it seems that they fit in perfectly with the Southern Chinese/Hakka styles. A good majority of those styles seem very external, physical and reliant upon strength, but this has really turned my interpretation on it’s head. Fantastic interview. Thank you for your work and featuring these two masters.
I can see why my two senior students were so impressed over 30 years ago when they first encountered this Method. Of course, they only witnessed the APPLICATION of the "non-physical" aspects but had not studied long enough to be exposed to those aspects of the Martial Arts, (the Internal methodology). We referred to this application as an "Invisible Tie", (as is sometimes taught in the study of Aikido), and it greatly enhances what we referred to as "Facilitating Compliance" Again, thank for posting information on this Method, and for showing the existence this type of "Hidden" knowledge . . .it's the only way that real knowledge can progress.
THE MARTIAL MAN, I taught to a closed door group of people for lot of years and the only way into the group was by invitation. Even then, what the person invited saw was controlled. I chose not to teach anything to a person of questionable character, (a bully), that would make it easier for them to harm someone. Although my view hasn't changed, I realized that many of the people I chose to teach were actually reasonably capable Fighters who had a Nature that made them much less likely to be a bully. I will email the Master of this school and offer some "insights" that he might add to his current store of knowledge if he is interested. I do not require any reciprocal response from the Master . . . but some feedback would be nice. Again, great work these posts Be Well
i REally like this ... This is what Sifu Sergio was trying to explain on his channel in his last videos .. but a lot of people out there did not understand and he got discouraged and stopped making videos now .. REally good for THE MARTIAL MAN to bring this understanding to the World
Esteemed experts of Wu Mei, many thanks for the beautiful explanation of the principle of leaving back our hand, I saw in Shorin Ji Kempo defence against graps, offering no resitanc, but moiving off the line and countering weither with a suporression block. And the four priniples , Judo is probably the best known sport havin adopted and still using it. Goodhealth, appreciating students and persevierence. Paul,67, retired instructor of Karate.
Excellent insight into a great style. Some people watching this may think this is total BS but until you've felt this type of power yourself, you'll never know about it until one day it may lick you down when least expected. Great video!
thanks you so much for all your uploads! I always look forward to your content, it's great to be able to explore these different arts and concepts, and I'm greatful to you for sharing it all!
No thank you, for sharing this great videos. I was lucky to train at some very good teachers. I learned the original Wing Chun, which uses the hip and round movements, like in Tai Chi. Ip Man wing chun is a simplefied form of the original system. Siu Lim Tau looks completely different, much more power. I also studied Ip Man wing chun for seven years before I learned this system.
I'm impressed about this kung fu it's awesome! And how it's related to Wing Chun. I turn now my practice into internal since I noticed that how very powerful can be the internal arts
@@brandontodd14 of course they can, they improve your power and speed based on relaxation and body structure, but you have to do a lot of sparring, just training the forms will not make you a good fighter
Simmmilar principles exist and are passed down in many styles.. but it's great to see them in practice and shifu is right.. these tactics represent the "secrets" of martial arts...
He probably told him to tense his hands, and aim his fingers towards his hip. you can see how his fingers tighten or go rigid I know this because I studied the same art. Your welcome.
This is really good work. Good video, great content! I appreciate the work you have done here, thank you for sharing it with us. I'm truly captivated by the masters and the arts.
My teacher used to use a similar touch at times. One time he reached across the dinner table at a cafe to demo a point...he used his single finger to close my ear opening by pressing the tissue over my ear canal opening (I don’t know what it’s called). It stunned me. I froze. I’ll never forget it.
Send a copy to Michael Jai White. I've heard of the 5 ancestors fist years ago, but I've never seen anything like this. I can imagine how one might be able to set up joint locks with these techniques.
It would be fun to train with these guys, and fun is the biggest motivator for most people because we are always big kids trying to be adults. So fun is our reward every time. Wu Mei must have been an incredible warrior. The amount of energy and deep thought the ancient Chinese put in to fighting techniques was incredible; way way deeper than what westerners did, which is nothing relatively. The Chinese went beyond scientific to finding methods that they couldn't explain. Imagine how much trial and error was involved over centuries. Their power was in numbers. If you have millions trying different things, the odds are way higher that they will be able to conquer the ones with only thousands. It's also the mentality. The western mind needs logical explanations, so we miss the boat. The Chinese found things that worked so who needs an explanation. The search for an explanation came later. Think that the Chinese discovered things before having any clue what or how or why. That's why they are way way way ahead. The westerners laugh at them because they don't understand but the Chinese are much stronger because of their leaps of faith. They discovered ways to beat someone much stronger than themselves, while the brute strength westerners continued to find better ways to increase their brute strength. So now a skinny short Chinese guy can destroy a big strong westerner using methods discovered by trial and error on top of science. That's why they say it's a cultural thing. Westerners think it's not real because it's totally against their way of thinking, so they continue boxing. The mma world realized that boxing is only a small component of fighting so they brought things like Jiu jitsu into their way of fighting. Next is the internal arts and the smart ones will take a chance and learn one of those arts to enhance what they already can do well and defeat everyone. I am waiting for the first successful internal practitioner to fight in mma. The guys who run mma today will not like internal guys because of how easily they will destroy everyone else. At first, fights will last 2 minutes, which will not be fun for the fans. A great fight now is the one where both fighters last long by connecting with many strikes and being able to continue despite being hit many times. So the worse the 2 fighers look at the end of the fight, the better the fight is considered. A great internal guy will end the fight quickly, not being hit more than once. But imagine 2 great fighters with great brute strength AND both good with internal techniques. That would be a great thing to see. That would be real explosive power against real power. It will take a big change in mindset for fighters and fans. The fans will have to learn about what they are watching or it will make no sense and they will think it's bull and not pay to see more. Fighting arts will start evolving much faster soon after the first mma fighter with internal skills shows how great his abilities are. Then weight will lose advantage for awhile until they all use internal methods. It is cool because fighting on the street will decrease. The reason is tbat the big strong bullies will think twice before risking that their small skinny target has internal skills. The internal masters are usually more spiritual and meditate to improve tbeir relaxation, giving them more depth of character and reduce ego. Of course there is no perfection. We can only hope for improvement. Have fun and please excuse my long winded comment. I had a lot to say but I tend to go on and on. I just hope there was at least a bit of wisdom and worthwhile info in what I said. I am very curious to know what people think of what I wrote.
I train in Hikuta and I know that to defeat these guys I need to be way faster than them. I must not let them feel my structure. That is if I can deliver a straight un-pulled Kuta punch to the head FIRST before they would react. I feel nothing else would work. Much respect to these guys. Thanks for posting these videos.
@@brandontodd14 Yeah, I can now safely say can beat anyone. Period. I hope to one day post videos of real fights (not sparring matches) but the problem is it is hard to convince people to fight for real without rules and a ref or when there's no one around. Real martial art does not exist.
@@brandontodd14 I believe Hikuta is becoming banned from the general public by Governments. It should be. It is not for sports. It is for killing instantly. 1 second is too long in Kuta. There's no stance for punching, kicking and take down. It is not a system that takes years to master like Karate, Wing Chun or Jiu-Jitsu. For me Kuta is one big sudden move with tremendous power. For grappling, if you learned from Al Abidin or Jack Savage you would have incorporated into your training advanced ground fighting skills. However, they may come in handy if you're being choked while lying down sleeping. The Kuta punch is what wins ALL fights ALL the time because it is so fast and powerful. It is triggered by startle reflex. As long as you're awake and and if you're being startled or charged by boxer or grappler or anyone 9.99% of the time they will find themselves lying down at your feet. You will punch them so fast and hard even before you become aware yourself. And if you're not startled as in a friendly spar you can trigger the reflex to harness power. Kuta will become permanently instilled into you about 3 months of training if you only train for 1 hour every day. None of my friends can hold me or take me down even if I tell them before hand what I will do. You may want to check out Dok Lee's "The art of controlled violence" on Amazon. It may be the only Kuta training available for people who do not have access to an instructor.
Clear explanation and wonderful videos. I am not a martial artist, but I was able to do these with a friend by following along. It was not perfect and not elegant, but it was much simpler and more gentle than expected. It really didn't require much force. But, as someone else said, I know I can't learn how to think this way or how to apply it by watching by watching youtube.
@@hanksimon1023 Yes, understanding it is better. Instead of stating facts on what one has read, it is best to experience it first hand. Facts and experience are very different.
Explains how these skinny Kung Fu masters are capable of such feats as those for which they are renowned. They do not rely on physical strength, but rather these subtle energies.
Michael Lorenzo there's more videos of Master Yap and the 5 Ancestors Fist system in the member's area of my website. themartialman.com/members-only-videos
On the first part video, I thought that the Taizu part was really similar to Taiji. Here, as a Taiji practitioner, I could have thought that this vid is talking about Taiji if I was only to see without the sound.
@@jordansmith446 not entirely true. Daito Ryu has been around and evolving for at the least 1200 years since the beginning of the takeda family styles passed down from the emperor's family. The Japanese mentality is entirely different in application. Nothing in traditional Daito Ryu with the exception of connection and structure breaking is anything like most of the kung Fu styles. They are like apples and oranges. Both are fruit but the similarities end there. All styles will share some concepts because there are only so many ways to do things in the world. That doesn't mean one always birthed the other. Te even in ryukuyu before the addition of kung Fu to it was indigenous to Okinawa. It became karate after Kung Fu techniques were added. Kung Fu came from India if you want to say one thing always birthed the other. Buddhism came from India and Shaolin was created by an Indian so there's that. But I wouldn't call Kung Fu Indian because people in India aren't practicing Kung Fu in Mass nor did it flourish there. See my point.
@@billgober2 only that Kung Fu coming from the Indian monk is nothing more that a legend with lack of concrete proof. Yet there are strong evidence of the link of Karate to Southern Chinese fist, and certain branch of jiu-jiu-su crediting their arts' founding to a man from the Ming dynasty
@@billgober2 Tang dynasty back in that period you mentioned.... was when loads of Chinese stuff got absorbed into Japan. This includes what okinawans attribute their art as "Tang Hand"( pronounced 'kara-te') as originally introduced to Japanese Officials, which got rejected and renamed as "Empty Hand"(also pronounced 'kara-te'). Is the Takeda family you refer to of "Shingen Takeda", renowned Samurai Lord during Sengoku era ? Also renowned for introducing Chinese influences in territory Administration among others(since it was later absorbed into Japanese administrative methods)? Wouldn't be surprised if Chinese Martial influences were also introduced then, apart from military Tactics.
@@billgober2 Also to be Accurate ...... kungfu was Not introduced to China from Shaolin. If you refer to saying Shaolin Style founded martial arts.... It is basis or origin for Most known martial arts today like karate, silat hand to hand, five ancestors....so on so forth . But Not those like Taichi, Wudang Mountain, obviously. Martial Arts have long been live and thriving before Shaolin. Oldest found "Martial Art" came from cave in China, originating 20 Thousand(20,000) years ago. Of which some subsequent methods devised in China, were deposited in Shaolin's repository via warriors retired in Shaolin Monastery, or methods otherwise. Existing Indian contribution in Shaolin very likely to be Chan Meditation and attendent yogic stretching exercises. Also referred to as qigong exercises..... which should be far inferior, to exquisiteness in Wudang's qigong/taichi exercises. Most(if not all) of the hundreds of martial arts stored in Shaolin highly unlikely had anything to do in origins from India. You just can't visualise Indians executing something like Okinawan Karate for instance naturally, with typical Indian Body anatomical movement ratios(long thin limbs, movement/timing/inherent sense), do you ? Wouldn't feel Organic(natural development). Although the Missing/burnt/gone "Monk's Fist" might have something to do from Indian source.... but uncertain(and uncertainable thank northern barbarians).

Yes, but why have masters only shown their skills with push hand demonstrations and never with any actual sparring? I love Tai Chi but in order to be able to fight you must train to fight.
For what it's worth, this lineage introduced me to heavy contact sparring. I went onto do Kyokushin karate, great style and hard training, but not nearly as sophisticated as this. I love both for different reasons.

Great video. I have watched this more than once. I noticed the wing chun wooden dummy and I assume they have incorporated it for their own Five Ancestor and Wu Mei practice (unless they also teach wing chun)????
Amazing!!! More, more, more information! I have luck that in my city is a friendly guy who learnt from Chee Kim Thong! I hope in time he can teach me that!! 😁 I did also wing chun for years and other MA... And yes you can win fights (i. E. With wing chun) against average aggressors - in my area many people know - and we have all kinds of very good MA instructors and Hools and so on here! You know?
I appreciate this video and this was a good breakdown on dealing with energy but I wonder how effective this would be against a fast moving aggressive attacker like Mike Tyson. 🤔

So now a skinny short Chinese guy can destroy a big strong westerner using methods discovered by trial and error on top of science. That's why they say it's a cultural thing. Westerners think it's not real because it's totally against their way of thinking, so they continue boxing. The mma world realized that boxing is only a small component of fighting so they brought things like Jiu jitsu into their way of fighting. Next is the internal arts and the smart ones will take a chance and learn one of those arts to enhance what they already can do well and defeat everyone. I am waiting for the first successful internal practitioner to fight in mma. The guys who run mma today will not like internal guys because of how easily they will destroy everyone else. At first, fights will last 2 minutes, which will not be fun for the fans. A great fight now is the one where both fighters last long by connecting with many strikes and being able to continue despite being hit many times. So the worse the 2 fighers look at the end of the fight, the better the fight is considered. A great internal guy will end the fight quickly, not being hit more than once. But imagine 2 great fighters with great brute strength AND both good with internal techniques. That would be a great thing to see. That would be real explosive power against real power. It will take a big change in mindset for fighters and fans. The fans will have to learn about what they are watching or it will make no sense and they will think it's bull and not pay to see more. Fighting arts will start evolving much faster soon after the first mma fighter with internal skills shows how great his abilities are. Then weight will lose advantage for awhile until they all use internal methods. It is cool because fighting on the street will decrease. The reason is tbat the big strong bullies will think twice before risking that their small skinny target has internal skills. The internal masters are usually more spiritual and meditate to improve tbeir relaxation, giving them more depth of character and reduce ego. Of course there is no perfection. We can only hope for improvement. Have fun and please excuse my long winded comment. I had a lot to say but I tend to go on and on. I just hope there was at least a bit of wisdom and worthwhile info in what I said. I am very curious to know what people think of what I wrote.
That was beautiful.
Thank you
very valuable videos!
I train in Hikuta and I know that to defeat these guys I need to be way faster than them. I must not let them feel my structure. That is if I can deliver a straight un-pulled Kuta punch to the head FIRST before they would react.
I feel nothing else would work.
Much respect to these guys. Thanks for posting these videos.
Here's how you defeat these guys: literally train 6 months in any real martial art lol
@@brandontodd14 Yeah, I can now safely say can beat anyone. Period. I hope to one day post videos of real fights (not sparring matches) but the problem is it is hard to convince people to fight for real without rules and a ref or when there's no one around. Real martial art does not exist.
@@banzavatoka5929 What is Hikuta's answer for the ground?
@@brandontodd14 I believe Hikuta is becoming banned from the general public by Governments. It should be. It is not for sports. It is for killing instantly. 1 second is too long in Kuta. There's no stance for punching, kicking and take down. It is not a system that takes years to master like Karate, Wing Chun or Jiu-Jitsu. For me Kuta is one big sudden move with tremendous power.
For grappling, if you learned from Al Abidin or Jack Savage you would have incorporated into your training advanced ground fighting skills. However, they may come in handy if you're being choked while lying down sleeping.
The Kuta punch is what wins ALL fights ALL the time because it is so fast and powerful. It is triggered by startle reflex. As long as you're awake and and if you're being startled or charged by boxer or grappler or anyone 9.99% of the time they will find themselves lying down at your feet. You will punch them so fast and hard even before you become aware yourself. And if you're not startled as in a friendly spar you can trigger the reflex to harness power.
Kuta will become permanently instilled into you about 3 months of training if you only train for 1 hour every day. None of my friends can hold me or take me down even if I tell them before hand what I will do. You may want to check out Dok Lee's "The art of controlled violence" on Amazon. It may be the only Kuta training available for people who do not have access to an instructor.
thanks for sharing uour ansesters therys of the art that is very important
very well explained
Nice video Kieren. I'm a sceptic, but this was physically well explained.
Hi David G. Smyth, I understand why you would be skeptical, I hope you get the opportunity to experience this for yourself sometime soon.
Clear explanation and wonderful videos. I am not a martial artist, but I was able to do these with a friend by following along. It was not perfect and not elegant, but it was much simpler and more gentle than expected. It really didn't require much force. But, as someone else said, I know I can't learn how to think this way or how to apply it by watching by watching youtube.
@@hanksimon1023 Yes, understanding it is better. Instead of stating facts on what one has read, it is best to experience it first hand. Facts and experience are very different.
Your videos are amazing and its very cool to know how deep Kung Fu can be.
another great video thaks a lot
Thank you
I reaaly want to learn from them
You're very welcome to come to The Martial Camp 2020 and learn from Master Yap and Sifu Ben.

Explains how these skinny Kung Fu masters are capable of such feats as those for which they are renowned. They do not rely on physical strength, but rather these subtle energies.
Very interesting
MW L Thank you.
i want more of this
Michael Lorenzo there's more videos of Master Yap and the 5 Ancestors Fist system in the member's area of my website.

phenomenal teacher hw actually told him the truth of it that's so rare
On the first part video, I thought that the Taizu part was really similar to Taiji. Here, as a Taiji practitioner, I could have thought that this vid is talking about Taiji if I was only to see without the sound.
Amazing! These sticking freezing energy also exist in Daito ryu Aiki JuJutsu. Look at some Okamoto Seigo videos here.
Those styles you mentioned adopted it from the chinese. Kung Fu is the ancestor of all Japanese systems
@@jordansmith446 not entirely true. Daito Ryu has been around and evolving for at the least 1200 years since the beginning of the takeda family styles passed down from the emperor's family. The Japanese mentality is entirely different in application. Nothing in traditional Daito Ryu with the exception of connection and structure breaking is anything like most of the kung Fu styles. They are like apples and oranges. Both are fruit but the similarities end there. All styles will share some concepts because there are only so many ways to do things in the world. That doesn't mean one always birthed the other. Te even in ryukuyu before the addition of kung Fu to it was indigenous to Okinawa. It became karate after Kung Fu techniques were added. Kung Fu came from India if you want to say one thing always birthed the other. Buddhism came from India and Shaolin was created by an Indian so there's that. But I wouldn't call Kung Fu Indian because people in India aren't practicing Kung Fu in Mass nor did it flourish there. See my point.
@@billgober2 only that Kung Fu coming from the Indian monk is nothing more that a legend with lack of concrete proof. Yet there are strong evidence of the link of Karate to Southern Chinese fist, and certain branch of jiu-jiu-su crediting their arts' founding to a man from the Ming dynasty
@@billgober2 Tang dynasty back in that period you mentioned.... was when loads of Chinese stuff got absorbed into Japan.
This includes what okinawans attribute their art as "Tang Hand"( pronounced 'kara-te') as originally introduced to Japanese Officials, which got rejected and renamed as "Empty Hand"(also pronounced 'kara-te').
Is the Takeda family you refer to of "Shingen Takeda", renowned Samurai Lord during Sengoku era ?
Also renowned for introducing Chinese influences in territory Administration among others(since it was later absorbed into Japanese administrative methods)?
Wouldn't be surprised if Chinese Martial influences were also introduced then, apart from military Tactics.
@@billgober2 Also to be Accurate ...... kungfu was Not introduced to China from Shaolin.
If you refer to saying Shaolin Style founded martial arts.... It is basis or origin for Most known martial arts today like karate, silat hand to hand, five ancestors....so on so forth . But Not those like Taichi, Wudang Mountain, obviously.
Martial Arts have long been live and thriving before Shaolin. Oldest found "Martial Art" came from cave in China, originating 20 Thousand(20,000) years ago. Of which some subsequent methods devised in China, were deposited in Shaolin's repository via warriors retired in Shaolin Monastery, or methods otherwise.
Existing Indian contribution in Shaolin very likely to be Chan Meditation and attendent yogic stretching exercises. Also referred to as qigong exercises..... which should be far inferior, to exquisiteness in Wudang's qigong/taichi exercises.
Most(if not all) of the hundreds of martial arts stored in Shaolin highly unlikely had anything to do in origins from India. You just can't visualise Indians executing something like Okinawan Karate for instance naturally, with typical Indian Body anatomical movement ratios(long thin limbs, movement/timing/inherent sense), do you ?
Wouldn't feel Organic(natural development).
Although the Missing/burnt/gone "Monk's Fist" might have something to do from Indian source.... but uncertain(and uncertainable thank northern barbarians).

Thanks for sharing your material. Your lucky to meet, talk and especially feel these masters
The stuff higher than Qi is explained throughout in this book "Zhuan Falun".
Excellent explanation.
Thank you
I am a bit skeptical but I am still open to being convinced. I wish I could participate so I can truly know what is going on.
The only way to truly know is to touch hands and feel the energy being used.
Yes, but why have masters only shown their skills with push hand demonstrations and never with any actual sparring? I love Tai Chi but in order to be able to fight you must train to fight.
Lots of high level guys that I know spar, including Taiji :)
For what it's worth, this lineage introduced me to heavy contact sparring. I went onto do Kyokushin karate, great style and hard training, but not nearly as sophisticated as this. I love both for different reasons.

Great video. I have watched this more than once. I noticed the wing chun wooden dummy and I assume they have incorporated it for their own Five Ancestor and Wu Mei practice (unless they also teach wing chun)????
Its very very interesting. If they an Border of Age ??? Or can everyone start with Practice ??? Its to fight against chronic Pain.
Amazing!!! More, more, more information!
I have luck that in my city is a friendly guy who learnt from Chee Kim Thong!
I hope in time he can teach me that!! 😁
I did also wing chun for years and other MA...
And yes you can win fights (i. E. With wing chun) against average aggressors - in my area many people know - and we have all kinds of very good MA instructors and Hools and so on here! You know?
thank you for sharing
amazing both teachers
What did he whisper in your ear at the 7 minute mark of the video?
Where do these two teach?
KL, Malaysia
I appreciate this video and this was a good breakdown on dealing with energy but I wonder how effective this would be against a fast moving aggressive attacker like Mike Tyson. 🤔
6:57 What did he whisper?
Wow !!!
Sifu whispers in ear:".. Now visualize to willingly send your your energy from Hara(or feet) to my hips.." 😁
Seems like a very knowledgeable sifu.
Thank you for the comment. Master Yap and Sifu Ben have a wealth of knowledge.
