I love your work brother! As a practioner of yang style taji quan kung fu i can attest to its effectiveness!
Wow, I really admire the teacher for making such an effort to impart all that knowledge using a language that he isn’t fluent in.
Yes, not an easy task.
Shows the good spirit and dedication this teacher has :)
Sound like awesome martial skills👍
Man, I really like this teacher. He’s very Pauoa life. It’s all about the art. He always showing the guy what if feels like and giving him the bamboo image to use with training. There’s no ego. Just art. Thank yo so much for sharing.
New generation Sifu(s) know that traditional martial arts deeper levels of knowledge will fade away if not shared. This Master knows how to share it without simply exposing it. I appreciate his willing to spread the word in a language he does not have full command of.
Real Pak Mei Kungfu is extremely rare and this teacher has the knowledge! He has given away many secrets in this video if you are smart enough to know what he is explaining. Listen to his explanation of 'Ton & Tow'. You don't often get these kind of insights being shared on a public video, very rare indeed. Thank you so much for making this information available to the public sir.
Thank you for the comment. Yes, you are correct. Sifu Adam shared a lot in this interview.
Ville-Pekka Turpeinen I want to find a Pai Mei Kung Fu teacher. May I ask for information on your teacher?
Ville-Pekka Turpeinen Who is your sifu?
Albert Ortega Sifu Adam Chan has schools all over Europe. It would be wise to contact him and see if he can assist you.
Absolutely. Float, sink, swallow and spit are actually what a western boxer does as well, if you watch their body dynamics (though they spit a little differently due to their fighting on a springy surface rather than flagstone). Over-mystification has done a lot of damage to the reputation of Chinese boxing.
I've had a chance to watch several of your videos. In this video, as in many, you find explainations & a kind of wisdom that are hard to find. Thank you for your efforts in the martial community!
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback and comments.
Great comment and I couldn't agree more.
I've been learning this style for the past year and loving it. I still got a long way to go though. ☯
Pak Mei 7th Generation rock!!! doing good my fellow Si Hing
It is an interesting style. It remember naha styles of karate and wing chun. Thanks for sharing
Miguel Lopera you're welcome
Naha is more influenced by southern crane but with wuzu quan,southern mantis Tong Long/Chow Gar and southern dragon they all are quite simular and share many concepts.
Gieszkanne interesting I’ve heard of White crane and Wuzu Chuan but never Southern Mantis and Southern Dragon
@@ninjaboy5191 Southern Dragon and White Eyebrow are often taught together, depending on the lineage. Both come from the 5 elders who escaped the burning of the temple.
@@ambulocetusnatans Ik about them being taught together but they claim Ng mui is credited to the southern dragon style which is simply not true
Jackie Chan said that he learned this style..no wonder his moves is very epic
Thanks for this video Kieren and Sifu Adem. To look into the serects of this art Pak Mei. Other than the abdominal move there are huge similarities with classical Wing Chun. By watching this video, It's good to see the similarities and differences of these Hakka arts.
Indeed thank you! All the comments I’ve read for this video share their appreciation of both the Sifu and the interviewer. That’s fantastic because these rare art forms need a platform to continue to have a life to inspire others. Being a New Yorker I’ve had the lucky opportunity to have studied a Northern Kung Fu system for 15 years then moved onto Ng Mui for 3 years then Bak Mei for another 2 years. I so enjoyed the over lap of Ng Mui and Bak Mei and my instructors were fantastic- I’m so, so grateful for everything these generous people are sharing.
Thanks again for the fantastic video!
Please seek out real master of bagua or Yin style bagua (He Jin Bao) would be a great start! Also a Xing Yi master ‘if’ you can find one. 🙏🏻 many thanks for all your efforts!
Deei Saat never gets any love! Lol. Great video Sibak Chan!
this channel give me new fire, thx a lot really thx a lot !!!!
16:59 We have the same thing in Chen Tai Chi, the contraction of the body and expanding. Good stuff. I learned a lot from his holding action with the rolling of the fingers.
Tommy Ford I’ll have to ask. We do forms and practice the techniques in the forms on each other. Right now I am on Chen 56.
With all due respect,it's a different kind of force than what you do.
You guys missed out on getting to touch hands with the late Y.Q. Wong. He passed a few years ago in TN. His power projection was something right out of a movie.
Fantastic stuff - thanks for the upload and very glad you picked a hakka style. Super interesting to compare this with my own experience in southern mantis, so much overlap in terms of the core 'powers' and in application. Going from totally relaxed to that sudden 'shock power' is something I really struggled with in terms of rising/sinking - however, I ended up 'getting it' in quite other circumstances while training in Taichi - strange how these things can overlap in seemingly quite different arts. Fingers crossed you find an equally expressive and knowledgeable Dragon Sign sifu to share their insights at some point.
Thank you for the comment and for sharing your experience training in Mantis. I'm a fan of the Hakka styles, I hope to feature more in the future months.
@@THEMARTIALMAN You should definitely have a look at Henry Sue's tonglong school in Australia, it would be worth your time
Nice Job Adam Si Hing
Very Good Explanation!
My respects to the dedicated teacher and practitioners for training the arts the way it’s supposed to be. I train Ho Yang Pay Ngo Cho Kun but my mother side is Hakka. Always have a soft spot for Bak Mei.
Great interview. Keep up the good work. I'm always interested in why a style does such and such movements. It is bc they are trying to generate a certain kind of power; and how they generate the power determine they way they move.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for putting out great content!!
My pleasure!
Fantastic video! I’d love to learn the system, I’m a WC student so I’ve always been fascinated with white eyebrow. They’re both short first so theres a lot of overlap but the philosophy and some applications are drastically different.
Supposedly Bak Mei and Ng Mui were classmates, so there is some connection.
I just came across this PS5 video game called Sifu which is based on Pak Mei Kung Fu!
Indeed, Bak Mei Kung-Fu is sophisticated because the techniques are Non-telegraphic. It has direct movements enhanced from one of the precious part of human body, the Spine. Moreover, the hand strikes emulate the power of the Tiger's Claws.
Bak Mei is the root of wing chun in shorter version
Art of Pak Mei..in the beginning sifu was showing PAK MEI phorm, can you upload it in whole? MUCH APPRECIATE
thanks for the real importance of the arts very gratfull
Thanks Sifu
Great video Sifu
Very good teachings of Bak Mei basics. 👍
Wow there is another Adam chan who's also a master martial artist? Lol. Check out the other Adam Chan's channel. Incredibly skilled man and great teacher.
Yea, when I saw the title I thought it was him for a minute.
The Kungfu Report
The most incredible instructor I ever had who accepted challenges with a signed waiver was Keith Fain sifu of Clarksville Tennessee.
Lao wei san is another great master in Pak Mey to have in consideration.
This snap shot doesn't do the style justice just how brutal it is on the body even obtaining a foundation before you even start jik bo! Developing the 4 energies in the Dan tien is very very hard. And holding full body tension really kicks your arse, no matter how fit and strong you are! For a hobbyist, it was just too much and dreaded class after several months! :-(
@True WingChun wtf?? You know nothing about me you clown! I've been doing WC since 2001. I studied dragon for a while which is another dark and brutal art! Then the class was migrated over to pak mei. Pak mei and heavy weight training don't mix, so I chose the iron! Ive also studied tai chi and feng sao for a short spell as well as regular zhan zhuang and qigong. Soo shut the fuck with your nonsense! True wing chun?? Fucking hell... What lineage are you? This should be a right old laugh.....????
I wrote 'hobbyist' cos in approaching 40 and with a family and a wife with poor health, I can't make class all the time! I'm not a professional fighter so that makes 95% of martial artist fucking hobbyists at best!
@@mrrobot2697 and you wonder why the traditional martial arts are being lost, think about it.
How can I get a DVD learn pak Mai always want to lean can you help me out here. What styles of kung fu made up the style of pak mai
bing bang bing bang bing bang bong
Awesome!!
Mike Sheng thank you!
why you no put the Nima king one on TH-cam, but all the others?
The video interviews go on to my website months before they are released on TH-cam so that the members of my site who are helping to support my work can enjoy them first. Nima's will be released in time.
Oh ok Understood.
11:08- 11:12.....interesting! I practice Matsubayashi- Ryu (a student of Toshihiro Oshiro is my instructor) and we learnt even during a seminar these same move- deflect and counterstrike at the same moment!
We are all one!
great style
Yes, I agree.
is it similar to wing chun?
Thank you!
Ni hao Sifu i am from Germany and Thank you very much to sending this Gread Video. Me Sifu Wang Fulin from Gjindao teatch my 5 Jahr,s Pack may called Gjindaou Bai.
This is great stuff!!! :)
Martial Man love your vids. Great stuff as always!
Isn't this the style practiced by pai mei !?
@@Veepee92 five point heart exploding technique and ball vanishing technique ! 😂
Nice.
The Phoenix Eye is a powerful effective tool.
Essentially contraction of the fingers into a tight ball then immediately release like a wound up spring. Also the abdomen tighening is a big focus of energy generation
Really cool video as always man! If you ever visit Bak Mei teachers in the United States, stop by Dragonhouse MMA in San Francisco, the head sifu there comes from a well respected Bak Mei family. His name is Zhong Luo and he's well versed in Bak Mei, Long Ying, and Mongolian Wrestling.
Thank you for the comment info about the school. I will certainly check it out if I'm ever in that area. Thanks again
Is that the big dude with the tattoos? Yea, I wouldn't mess with that guy.
Where can you find the Pak Mai style in Richmond, VA
So this is the Style of kugfu at the Video Game Sifu is inspired by
can you dra a conclsion between bak mei''s contraction and that of say dai xinyi who have a similar body contraction. as u know many more of the old masters emphasized this C-back type of posture to include taijiquan as well. thx.
Where can I learn this martial art?
Tense and soft is polarity. It’s external in nature. Not internal condition.
Hung gar, you most show The Tiger first
Looks like a mix of southern mantis and wingchun
What about take-down defense?
Κυριάκος Μουντάκης good question. Pak Mei has its own ground fighting system and even its own form dedicated to ground work.
@@THEMARTIALMAN I can't find anything on TH-cam. Any suggestions or links? Thanks.
I have only seen the ground fighting in person and have never seen anything online. Pak Mei is a very secretive style and there are many things they (the teachers) won't share in a public video
Ville-Pekka Turpeinen that is not the form I was referring too but thanks for sharing.
Can you arrange some sparring between styles?
Very interesting. Doh je
Vip sifu
14:56 real soto uke in karate
Uncle Roger even can kungfu damn
What's the song during the introduction called? Up until 0:40
It's called 'THE MARTIAL MAN's intro song' ;)
@@THEMARTIALMAN Hey, thanks for answering! Where did you get it from? I heard something extremely similar and Dizi-based in a videogame I played as a kid
Verry similar to chow gar
Yeah this looks legitimate. 👍
Mang fu chut lam? Bak Mei? I'd be interested to see
Bak mei is Jackie Chan’s style
It is a great art but, no offense, it needs more way to defend against kick. Moving your entire body to take a kick requires you to see it coming, but usually you don't see it coming, you can only react to it.
Where does he teach?
Sifu Adam teaches in Hong Kong.
I'm also Bak Mei
It's too bad he was never taught to tuck his chin. It just sticks out there waiting for a good cross.
Maybe maybe not... Really dependends on his fighting level. You would probably not be able to.
There's always one....
「oh oh-」
17：20
Lol
Master I want to learn bak mei
There is another Adam Chan you should interview. ;)
@Tommy Ford I have no idea why you would call him an idiot, but yes.
I have no idea what you're talking about, but apparently he lost to someone? So what?
I'm curious about this master that beat Adam. Adam chan has the fastest eye gouge I have ever seen. When was this? Was this recent. This master must be god level. What's that master's full name?
@Tommy Ford I want to check out this master Chen guy that defeated Adam chan in Vancouver. Adam's eye gouge alone is on par in speed if not faster than the Bruce Lee screen test eye gouge. So if this master Chen guy beat him, he must be amazing. For you to make fun of Adam, you must be really impressive too. Have anything I can watch?
@Tommy Ford ok, well what's this sifu chen or great master in Vancouver you're talking about. I want to check it out. You sound impressive, anything I can learn from you as well?
In all honesty it is hard to learn real Qufu these days cause much lineage was lost
Man I'm sorry this is all hypothetical it's like swimming on dry land like Bruce said
Why have you cajoled yourself that Pak Mei is secretive style? This has been practiced for many generations. When young I learned this 1,100 days in of 3,000 at temple... The key is to generate core power and disperse to corresponding appendage. As far as being struck, one can utilize the sensation to produce even more concentrated output.
Love to all.
Nice story
@@THEMARTIALMAN ???
Is that a murder hornet at 8:03?
sink fire ground. or fayin. sink 6 force one moment. like one objetive.
Who is here after playing sifu ? 😂
白眉九步推 white eyebrow 9- step pushing?
Gau Bo Tui - 9 Step Push
I like young Chinese Kung fu masters, who are eager to teach. The old sifus bill shit too much , too busy boasting about themselves.
They should show light sparring/free movement in every episode. I love traditional martial arts but it would be much better to see it in live movement. I’m not saying to do hard sparring and bang it out. Literally just want to see what it’s gonna look like in a more live non-set play. Just 25% sparring no gloves, open hands what ever they want. Just not always stand still techniques. I’m saying this all with love and respect because I’ve enjoyed studying traditional martial arts and they have lots of useful things. Then we can see what actually has any potential of usefulness from these various arts. Not just “I would do this and then this if you did this or that, etc.” Much respect
Like i said, im not talking about banging it out uncontrollably like chumps. more then likely it could be a student of the teacher and or Kirin himself. If i was looking to see power they can hit the heavy bag and i can see it. But im talking about fluid movement to see the actual reaction time and reality of something they are talking about. Some would refer to this as "technical sparring". If someone cant control their power then they clearly lack control and if you dont have control then they're probably an amateur . Thats the same as someone who plays music only being able to play at a loud dynamic and never a low volume or intensity. Its not hard to do light controlled sparring at all unless your a complete ego-filled asshole who wants to just win instead of refining the application of tecnique. Obviously if they are going to demonstrate what im asking, it should be someone who is good and controlled and is not going to try to win. All im asking is if they wanna show a technique or an idea in the fashion of start and stop, then they should also show what it might look like in real movement, where people are moving freely. Doesn't have to be fast or hard, just natural and light. I'm saying this because i know traditional martial arts has many great things to offer, and even has some ideas martial that can definitely be applied to where the martial arts world has evolved to. But only through a more fluid live play is it going to get some good information across to the majority of people. Im not saying everytime they need to do this with everything. but if they are showing a "martial" technique from their system, or some advantageous body mechanic, its going to be better to see not only in stop and go, but also in just a slightly more free movement modality.
(sorry for any and all grammatical errors, im only trying to explain what i meant in the beginning because i think your not understanding what i meant) thanks for replying and continuing discussion.
None of this "you punch like this (slow motion) and I counter with this (arm parry or wrist lock) followed by these series of 4 counter strikes" stuff works in a real fight. Watch a boxing or MMA match, or a street fight. No one catches the other guy's arm to do any fancy techniques. When people attack for real, the strikes come too fast and to unpredictably. You either dodge it, block it, or parry it. There's no way anyone can use these techniques worth a damn in real action. Don't believe me? Ask a friend or even your girlfriend to stand within striking distance of you (not 7-8 feet away) and try to hit your face as fast as they can. Even if you are probably the faster one, you'll be surprised how often their hands gets through and hits your face. That's why you never see this in a ring or cage. Theory does not equal reality. By the way, I studied Bak Mei style too.
Totally agreed I trained for years with in Australia pak mei with my friends father who was a so master. And then sparred a kick boxer this was in the early 90’s and quickly realised how useless it is. Lack of conditioning lack of effective techniques and realistic training quickly switched over to kickboxing and now Muay Thai to which I have been doing for over 17 years never looked back. Muay Thai would easily smash any pak mei master or student they as you don’t fight like them and not stuck with useless methods, lack of conditioning and ineffective outdated training and techniques. Not saying that Muay Thai is the best but it’s a style or fight art that’s constantly proven in the ring and cage .. and always proves it’s self. When was this stuff last used in combat?
Random repulsive rapid firey movements-Pak Mei style..
Oriental philosophy always talks like that-energy of eternity conquering everything
Relies on opposites
I didn't like the fighting techniques. It would have been better to have performed a technique in a eyebrow stance using white eyebrow techniques.
you should do a video on dragon style in hk, pak mei is originated from dragon style
Nice video was just annoying me how many Times he says for example
Nick is not nice ! How annoyed I feel about whites being not white in their view of equality. Discrimination against people not born with English !!!!!! LLewdlyn
nick llewellyn - 😂😂😐 and you can speak fluent mandarin? I thought not ...
and we know nothing thanks
This was painful to watch due to linguistic barriers. It would have been better to interview Mike Doucet.
I feel the same way about Sylvester Stallone and Ozzy Osbourne. Regardless of race or ethnicity, unintelligible is unintelligible!
Matthew what thing? Some English-speaking people are impatient about a non-English-speaking person speaking English. One who listens to the language and not the contents is a prejudiced person who misses the crux of the message. Prejudice and discrimination can never be erased from these people. What if he doesn't teach in English and you're demanded to listen to his Chinese? You'll be suffocated !
I enjoy hearing from Sam Chin, William Chen, Bruce Lee and teachers from my own lineage, but this interview could have been done better with a translator and subtitles.
Hold my wheelchair.
Very brutal moves and reflex for its name. It wasn't that brutal in english if someone ask you "how will you fight me fucker? " you will reply "Pak mei"
As far as the balms and cream pain relief you’re pushing, your body will absorb toxins whether it be synthetics or bio amalgams, this will compromise your Micro biome count. This effects the primary thyroid artery thus immune system. Pain can be something to be celebrated, we must experience all ends of the spectrum, allow yourself to feel pain, do not take drugs or any suppressants or relief and your body will flourish, it is simply pain, allow it to be just as you should be in your moment.
his technique and mind is good but his body is not good. gotta pump some irons and do cardio if he don't want end up like wing chun dude that face mma fighter.
不如你再詳細 D 教鬼, 唔該
Priest pai mei is the only one who fought
It can't apply in mma, too danger
One and two? Good luck. The reality is one. One split second. You don’t get offense and defense. That’s “wo Shan” Kung fu... what I think Kung fu is.
I want to see this fool in the octagon!!!
I wanna see you on the lei tei
