  • This common Karate technique is NOT what you think! It's actually a secret hand signal from Ming dynasty China. It was invented by anti-Qing rebels who formed secret societies to overthrow the government. This video explains why it appears in traditional kata from Okinawa - the birthplace of Karate.

    Hi Jesse, this is a really interesting part of the history of kung fu / karate. You say the Qing Dynasty crushed many of the secret society groups except for the triads, but if you read about Sun Yat-sen, the first president of the Chinese republic that overthrew the Qing dynasty, you’ll see he had very close links to the secret societies, linked up with Kung fu. Many argue the secret societies were a huge part of the rise of the Republic of China and the ultimate overthrow of the Qing dynasty, so their aim was realised after all (but they were unprepared for the rise of the communist party in China). Their influence can still be seen in Taiwan. I know Martin Watts has a bit on all this in his book on White Crane’s history. Very interesting historical stuff!

      It's said that two members of Triads are now in the head of the comunist party. And Triads were against rebellions in the Hong Kong last few years.

    This salutation exists in silat as well, especially in Indonesia. Silat masters explain it as representing opposing forces like hard and soft, but it's always acknowledged as being of Chinese origin

    @kwanarchive 2 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    For any of those interested:
    The character 明 is simply the characters for the sun and the moon put together as one character. It means "bright" because it would be bright if both the sun and the moon were put together (not in an eclipse way, of course).

    My Sifu is the inheritor of the Southern Hakka Mantis Fist and many of the movements are similar to Karate Wing Chun and White Crane. It also has a signature form called Sam Bo Jin that is clearly an ancestor of San Chin. He say that the hand symbol is also the unification of Wen (Scholarly arts) with Wu ( Warrior Arts) excellent video though. Rei!

    @hirorop5367 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Love this history lesson. Being 1/2 Chinese & 1/2 Japanese and studying martial arts from both I find this so fascinating about my ancestors 🙏 When i start practicing this in the Katas, it’s is so powerful and has an even more powerful significance with your history lesson.
