I'm a Hung Kuen practitioner that moved to Hong Kong to learn. Over time, I've taken classes in Muay thai, Judo, BJJ and others as a way to learn how to apply the techniques and defend against the other styles. What I found was this: The shapes in the forms (taolu) in Chinese Martial Arts are so ancient that they can be applied across all of the arts that I have named. But, without actually practicing with a partner or other people then one cannot improve the actual roots of the system - just as we cannot become happier without others.
I love that this woman is 73 years old and has flexibility that trumps most 18 year olds. The lesson to take away from many of these CGTN Kung Fu videos is martial arts will keep you physically fit and mentally alive. Considering the few number of fights one is likely to get into in most modern day societies, this is a really good reason to learn martial arts.
I am in [somewhere] In China and we get into fights almost every other day. Sometimes with cheap weapons and knives. So your comment is nonsense. People get killed without any ability to fight.
@@ErraticFaith Learn to read. "most modern day societies" is plural and your exception of somewhere in China doesn't make the rule. So your comment is nonsense.
Both this and the CLF forms are derivatives of the Shaolin plum Blossom. Where CLF added the signature moves like the Sau, Jong or Kup this form seems to simplify a lot of the Shaolin internals and twisting to something easier to transmit, which makes sense if this was codified around the time of the cultural revolution.
Hello guys. does anyone know where this style is still taught in China? I learned that the Beijing Huaquan Research Association has unfortunately been closed
@@jerichotam1360 If your "point" is that this is martial arts so there's no concept of beauty in the movements, you are wrong and you wasted your sarcasm. If instead it's that this is not martial arts because it looks like a dance, see above.
That would be helpful, it would begin the process of removing impracticality. Though, it would be nice if cultural movements remained after purging the art.
During the Qing Dynasty, practicing martial arts was prohibited that is why many people created their own fist style mostly based from the Wudang Style fist as the Qing doesn't know the Wudang Style fist. Blossom Fist comes from Tai Chi style fist which was based from Wudang Style fist creates by Taoist monks.
@@ecnivmarng7163 Oh jes, I em berry berry wyse (joking!) ; ) All jokes aside however, this lady is outstanding. And I have a small tiny tinsy little bit of background in this field with which to offer a paltry judgment.
I HIGHLY doubt it but I don't believe that should be an L on her part. I'm learning that while I have gripes about Kung fu becoming more of a visual art vs self defense pressure testing, I can appreciate it for what it is. She doesn't seem to be hard stressing it as like the ultimate defense anyway. She doesn't come across like some of these wing chun guys and Tai chi folks who have never sparred. So if they don't come come arrogant with skills they don't have, I'd let them be.
see, that's the problem, believing seriously that kung fu is not for fighting kung fu means acquire great skill through hard work. yes it is for fighting and for health conditions, many kung fu practitioners don't live long because of smoking habits and some because of bad Qi gong practice that leads to strokes.
love the art but like most of these arts they lack power. bruce lee was the one who showed how hard you must train to achieve this you must train with diffrent styles of fighting like ju jitsu or mma or any other art learn different techniques to overcome weakness in your art we need to modernise these arts to keep up with the western arts
Now have them do mma with mma regulation. Or else you gonna have some mma guy chalenging wushu guy to trash wushu. Kinda like muathay. Its a martial arts, its also a competition. You study it and then you go to the ring. Same with boxing. Theres ni such thing for wushu, theres no habit of going into the ring.
You know some people don't give a damn about MMA and this has nothing to do with MMA at all. I wanna learn these types of martial arts but I don't give a damn about MMA or even interested in MMA. Ik it's mixed martial arts but I don't really care about that
I study Kung Fu to overcome my own physical limitations and for health and longevity. I personally don't care about mixed martial arts and hand-to-hand combat in the modern world is obsolete.

UNBELIEVABLE!!
A true priceless, living example of a heroine!!!
Mad respect to her for carrying on the tradition of Blossom Fist into the 21st Century.
陶冶情操之拳，闲暇健身之舞。。找一方天地自娱自乐，陶醉而已。踞一些迷徒迷妹，打造烘托一些文化的气氛。当然，年龄到了。练武的心也就变了，所谓的拳也变味了。这就是我的观感
Shes like a 1000 watt Blossom Amp
This woman is my new role model! I want to be that flexible at 40, let alone in my 70s! ☺️
so grateful to see these skills
instablaster.
Nobody wants to compliment this madam's flexibility?
I want to.
Everyone wants to. I just feel slightly warm doing so about an 73 years old
It's impressive, but hyper-mobility can be a blessing and a curse.
This style is amazing!
And this girl is so graceful and tough!
Only found this series yesterday, it's lovely
This Blossom Fist is absolutely fantasitc!
I never forget this style, the moves is so soft
Ive been blessed to see you do this with your body and mind - thank you
花拳和太极拳有异曲同工之妙。花拳是甘凤池所传，他本身就是内家拳出身，后来在内家拳的基础上融合进了少林拳的内容。而且花拳套路运动量大，养生价值比太极拳要高
所有的传统武术都是异曲同工的，並没高低之分，也沒内外家之分，都是外练筋骨皮，内练一口气的，练对了，养生价值都是一样的。
感觉就开头那句的意思 指上打下的吧
Oh yes i agree i was saying that about her yesterday😜

Wish I could learn from the madam
Thank you for posting this video!!!!🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mis respetos, que gran maestra.
I must have missed something; was that 70 years old or 20 years old? It looks like 20.🙏❤️
I am amazed and greatly impressed with the flexibility and grace of this elder who practices this art. She seems like a gentle sweet lady.
Wow this woman is incredible
Did u c the stretching?
Waow
七十一岁的年纪看起来像六十，身手矫健，膝盖不疼，是真功夫。
Amazing woman..
She is absolutely amazing and such great grounded life long practice and flexibility!
Is this Meihuaquan? Plum Blossom Fist?
Looks very similar to Mui Fa Kuen of Choy Li Fut. In fact it looks exactly the same.
Both this and the CLF forms are derivatives of the Shaolin plum Blossom. Where CLF added the signature moves like the Sau, Jong or Kup this form seems to simplify a lot of the Shaolin internals and twisting to something easier to transmit, which makes sense if this was codified around the time of the cultural revolution.
no, is flower fist.
She's adorable !
Would love to have this woman as my Sifu!
敬佩
因何只有花拳，但秀腿跑到那里？

¡Sí, esto es genial!
好了😊😋😂😁😄😆😭💖
1:42～2:09 これだけでも十分にスゴい。
Okay I would like to see other 71 one year old people be as flexible as this....goodness! I am only 44, and I am not this supple..
Agreed. I'm Canadian and unfortunately, everyone is obese and diabetic by 30. Haha.
讚讚讚
小时候，听过这个拳
Brilliant
Me with my mid 20s watching how flexible this Lady is.

Love it, somebody tries to take her purse and will be sorry.
花🌸拳可以混合八卦掌或形意拳，应该会更美。因为柔中带刚，以柔克柔，以刚克刚，花拳柔中化刚。
八卦掌 形意拳 傳聞是清末民初的假大師所創，用來街頭賣藝表演用的，花拳我看也差不多，什麼剛柔講的那麼厲害，吹牛吹上天了
是花拳还是华拳？
花拳 flower fist.
Im going to practice martial arts to my old age just so i can do what she was doing reciting something gansta from Maoism or Taoism
呵呵，我是绣腿传人，请指教
I wanna see buddha palm technique

I didn't know the Chinese government funded it. Awkward.
I didn't know where were so many Kung fus systems.
I kinda wish that they still sparred more.
That would be helpful, it would begin the process of removing impracticality. Though, it would be nice if cultural movements remained after purging the art.
我真的不相信她能打过一个170的正常男人

China kungfu for healthy and longlife not for fighting..

花拳繡腿

mei hua quan
No, it's not meihua, it's huaquan 花拳
這運動很好，不如叫花之早操，你這個別說拳擊手，普通人的快拳你都擋不住，實戰的時候誰會跟你撸手玩繞圈圈,兩個老人家在玩遊戲叫實戰嗎？

Real combat is useless in the modern world. Who are you fighting every single day? I train for physical fitness and longevity.
No, this isn't real combat! This is Practice using the forces and forms that would be used in real combat.
