Well done Will sifu! 👏Hope to follow your footsteps and visit the Philippines myself one day. 🙏Keep up the great work! 🔥
Thanks Jesse! Just let me know and I’ll put you in touch with these guys!
Looking forward to see you here in Pilipinas.
Once you visits Philippines hope you can feature the Sikaran. The Filipino art of Foot Fighting.
I met master Lu in manila once before way back 2008 long time, ago, I got the previledge also to visit, Beng Kiam who teach the same style White Crane Fujian. Ling Nam has that too, they are great masters, master Lu, Master Tan. But one club did disappear, is the Philippine Enee, headed by Ang Li Sing and his son Ang Lip Ben, they teach Chi Dian Boon, but you cannot find it there in chinatown they migrated to canada. the only authentic chinese martial arts left in manila is Kong Han, Beng Kiam, and Ling Nam.
I think Master Ho in Malmö is an whell known wuzu quan master if my memory donsent fail me :)
This beautifully illustrates how much of the original Chinese Kung Fu was preserved in Okinawan Karate.
Great Video, I have lived in this very building for nearly 3 years. Sifu Henry Lo is my very good friend and brother..I look at him like a elder brother and mentor during my time in binondo. Its great to see that he didnt change a bitconsidering ist 13 years ago since I moved back to germany. He actually let me use his school to teach hung kuen when I lived there. Great times!
That’s great! Henry is a really good guy and I feel we became good friends after this trip! I’m going to visit him again to go diving together

Good to see you back on the path of doing interviews in Asia again after the long covid lock down and lock out! Can't wait to see more. Respect the martial families in the Philippines!
As a Goju-ryu practicioner, I've enjoyed watching ancestor style of my style. Thank you! Although forms may differ but principles are the very same, obviously. And I'd say that drinking wine is much enjoyable way of knowledge transfer than internet. :)
Greetings, I can see and understand you enjoying this. Me too! The wrist knocking was reminding me of the wrist- and forearm hardening/conditioning techniques we do in Shorin Ryu. (You can see this in a partner exercise here: th-cam.com/video/obEsDzZ3Slc/w-d-xo.html)
I try to train and harden my arms and hands at work by hitting metal pols or surfaces because I don't have a partner I can train with. I had the pleasure of a blackbelt's arms at the lesson. It hurted, but I was more on fire then to do more conditioning!
Thank you for sharing this videos! They show very nicely the lineage of traditional Okinawa Karate techniques to it's chinese roots.
@Aiden Fisher I'm able to read wiki sources, too. But are you aware that a crane is one of five ancestors here? So what do you see?
@Aiden Fisher can you list them, please?
@Aiden Fisher : you said Goju-ryu has corresponding katas in Fujian Baihe-quan. List them please.
@Aiden Fisher so you're a complete trash talker, aren't you? If you cannot support your claims, STFU (usually it helps to save teeth).
This video means a lot to me. My family is Chinese from the Manilla area. I remember my uncle showing me Wuzuquan when I was a kid. He didn't train at the Kong Han Athletic Association but apparently another school which was nearby. My father told me there was also Tai Chi offered in Manilla's Chinatown at the time (60 something years ago). He also says that though the majority of Chinese in Chinatown were Fujianese, there was a smattering of Cantonese. When I showed my father the Hung Kuen I learned in Hong Kong, he said he remembered some Cantonese doing that as well. Thank you for highlighting this part of Chinese martial arts culture!
How many Chinese Filipinos still speak Fujianese? I met a few young ones who couldn't. I believe the Cantonese were from Taishan.
Did he train in the Lo Cho temple ? I may have spelled it wrong
Fantastic sir! So good seeing our headmaster talk about our art! Thank you for the exposure sir! 💪👊
You’re welcome. Master Henry is a great guy and has become a good friend!
Awesome video !!! This is a great art , I feel very fortunate to have studied it under Sifu Jeff Yang 4th generation in the Kong Han Ngo Cho linage in relatively small town Ohio . This art and the Kong Han school have lots of history and legendary figures with legendary stories. Definitely a fighting art that runs very deep for those willing to look beyond the surface !!! Thank you for making the trip and sharing this art with such a large audience !!!👊👊👊👊👊
Being an "Old School" Tang Soo Do blackbelt. I love seeing the intersection of the variations of the China Hand.
Missing the old days! Great interview of Master Henry Lo!
Good that you features Manila Chinatown Kung Fu. Very underated.
The wrist knocking looks the same with what we do here in Surabaya. Good video👍
that was really a pleasure thank you very much!. It was really envigorating!.
Amazing to hear the historical context, really cool video
Hey Sifu Will, I am a disciple of Sifu Russ Smith and our WuZuQuan or NgoChoKun Lineage traces to the Philippine Beng Kiam Athletic Association Located in Manila i believe. A rich Lineage of Fujian Five Ancestor Boxing from one of the famous Sijo Chua GiokBeng's (Cai YuMing) top students GM Tan Kiong Beng, One of the NgoCho Ten Tigers.
That’s awesome! Russ is a great guy
What is their address and website/Facebook group?
Very interesting part about the whole body getting repaired and renewed after the injury, not just the injured part. That's why it is also beneficial for your health to donate blood.
Really great new stuff!!! Please more.
Excellent insights into the culture and applications of the art form. Thank you.
Cant wait for part 2 sir
wonderful video love it.
Awesome video!
hi! while you're in Binondo, you might want to check out Philippine Wenyang Sports Association. I learned traditional wushu there when i was in college. I practiced Qixing Tanglang Quan (seven star praying mantis fist). My shifu was Arnold Buenviaje. He still actively teaches wushu and lion dance today
Pretty sure that is coming up
Ep3 😊
nice! subscribing for more content 😁
Do you know William soon?
Ling Nam athletic association
Hi Sifu Will, if you interested you can visit my sifu in Semarang, Indonesia, he is like "time capsule" of kuntao from Southern China, because our great grand master Louw Djing Tie came to Java before Ip Man was born. He practise Yong Chun, Wu Taichi...and some more. Our dojo is Garuda Emas Sematang.
Thank you! Feel free to send me some info to my Instagram @monkeystealspeachofficial
Daymm louw djing tie is a kung fu legend or pendekar in indonesia right ? Do you have any other branches in jakarta or tangerang beside in semarang ? I’m really intrested to learn
Great stuff!
Another great video dude :-)
Thanks mate!
Very interesting indeed! Many thanks :)
this was great. the Kung Fu lineage I'm training has similar exercises. my sifu is in Taiwan, the school is called Peng Lai. northern praying mantis.
Interesting to see how fujian martial arts went southeast to the Philippines as well as northeast to Okinawa and then Japan. That pole training looks really interesting and there were a lot of other pole weapons racked up in that training space. Excellent video Thanks for sharing.
Awesome!!
This is Naveen an amateur Boxer.. I enjoyed watching your video.. good 😅
Cool, I will be in Manila this coming week, going to check out Chinatown and martial arts there too. Are you still there?
Damn, sorry man Im back in Australia now
0:39 ahhh, the Jeepneys, trademark of the Philippines! I was in one once when some prankster threw a huge firecracker in it, everyone just covered their ears and went along as nothing happened lol.
Haha that’s crazy
I am living in Metro Manila. How to find this martial art gym? Do they have website or facebook group?
you make the best martial arts history videos, soon you will cover every style around the World
Thank you! Covering every style would be a huge task though!
Please, what is Master Zhang Xiao Feng's Wuzuquan lineage? ho yang pai, tai cho, bai yu feng or yong chun?
What a nice man...,a treasure!
I met master Lu in manila once before way back 2008 long time, ago, I got the previledge also to visit, Beng Kiam who teach the same style White Crane Fujian. Ling Nam has that too, they are great masters, master Lu, Master Tan.

I trained briefly in 5 Ancestors Fist, which while called "Tat Kun To" in the Philippines, I was taught it is named "Ngo Cho Kun" In Fujian. I'm a little confused by the naming difference here.
Ngo Cho is the Fujian dialect pronunciation, whereas Wuzu is the standard Mandarin. I use Wuzu to keep it consistent with my other videos so people know its still the same style
@@MonkeyStealsPeach Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification.
Thank Very much 🤙😁👏👏👏👏👏☯️🐲 awsome
Very interesting and I am interested to learn martial arts, which part of China town of there wuzuquan school? Thank you for your .blog I like it ❤️
Wuzu Quan is mostly in Quanzhou, you can have a look at my videos from my trip to Fujian province
Would be nice to see the cross over of fma and kung fu in the Philippines.
i've been there 2 years ago. before the pandemic happened. i did not know there was a kung fu school there
Every time I look into Kung Fu it looks so not that useful from the outside when you just look at the form and don't know what's going on, but then they go into the application and the literal second thing they'll teach you as a single leg takedown lol . Kung fu is gangster like that
Are they currently accepting students? I live near Manila so I can visit the place if given the chance
Just search Henry Lo on Facebook. His profile is a picture of him scuba diving
great video, i would love if you so would come to switzerland to our traditional school of hunggar, we are the school under direct lineage of gm chiu chi ling and my sifu martin sewer is going to be the succesor of him, i am sure we could do great content and spreading southern chinese martial arts more, please feel free and hit me up if you would be interested in that😊
Thanks! But I’m based in Australia, its a bit far and expensive to travel to Europe right now
Should do chinese martial arts in Indonesia next. Known as Kuntao.
I’m planning it haha
Isso não serve pra nada. Funciona apenas em filmes de Kung Fu!😑🇧🇷
Lord, Manila has gotten so dirty... I have not been back there since 1995... I miss the days that President Ferdinand Marcos was President... That was when the Philippines was the envy of Southeast Asia where other countries sent their brightest for education in Medicine, Pharmacology, and Engineering... Not any more...Ay, Nago... Pinoy accent and all... Talaga... Suddenly I'm hungry for Pancit, Balut, and Hopia....All originated in China that ancestors brought to the Philippines.
Those are nice moves. I would put it in the martial arts category and not real combat. A real fight is over after 2-4 seconds. Do you also do these movements in a practice fight, where you can feel it realistically? A real punch from cover takes less than half a second for a practiced fighter. For inexperienced 1 second.
He was explaining, not fighting. Henry had many full contact fights in the 80/90s, which he discusses in p2
Would love to see how Chinese kung fu in the Philippines deal with the local knife arts.
"Join the dive side."
This is the most fake martial art i have ever seen
Five handed BS
Hong Seng is a better club than Kong Han. Hong Seng-s style is better.
cringe bye
Nice, but seriously,pretty useless in an MMA fight.
