Lineage does not matter. The person does! Many of my critics think I'm hiding my lineage and that I'm a fraud. But, the truth is I've fought very hard in court and in life for the right to teach the Martial Arts including Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qigong. I like to be an example of what I believe a true Martial Artist should be! People can call me whatever they want but I tell the truth, I am honest, fun, I train hard, and believe Chinese Kung Fu is and should be free for all to enjoy!!!
And my eagle claw lineage can be traced back to General Gnok Fei. The Grandmaster of my style is Leung Shum. If you want real Eagle Claw Kung Fu with direct lineage to ancient china, I recommend this is where you start.
To anyone researching traditional Kung Fu, particularly Eagle Claw: Eagle Claws are for gripping as opposed to Tiger Claws which tear; SO THEY LOOK VERY DIFFERENT. Punches and blocks are delivered and practiced without tension until the moment of contact. Stances do not have an arch in the back. This is not a matter of style, so much as application. Arched back is a compromise to structural integrity. You cannot connect your punches to the ground unless your back is one with your legs.
Hey there! I did practice Karate as a kid in Canada in Richmond, B.C. close to the Steveston Harbor! I began practicing and studying Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Meditation in high school. I then got to attend a semester of Chinese language in China with Duke University. I got a scholarship to study in China! I got and still get the chance to study kung fu, tai chi, and qigong off and on with masters I meet during each of my China trips! I'll keep going on my next post.........
I was a high school and collegiate wrestler who was trying to earn an academic scholarship in wrestling to pay for my college education but I had a freak accidental arm break during Kung Fu class which ended my wrestling career! 16 screws, 2 plates, and 2 surgeries on my right humerus and elbow! I'll continue more on my next post............
I studied the Northern Eagle Claw system, and this isn't it. This is not traditional Eagle Claw, and you shouldn't be saying it is. The claw is formed incorrectly, it is a Tiger Claw, and that is not the formation of either the Northern or Southern styles of Eagle Claw. The form you showed, well what can I say, I never saw it in the Eagle Claw system. As my sifu would say, "Chop Suey Kung-Fu".
Feliks Gailitis This Jake Mace guy does this with other styles, too. He messed up the explanation of my style, (seven star Preying mantis) so badly that I feel it's a serious injustice for his youtube videos to stay live. He should be yanked off the system and not allowed to make money for perpetuating total garbage! What can be done, is what I'd like to know? (Seriously. The guy referred to the mantis grab arm as a "beak" that you peck with!) Must we endure him tearing apart EVERY traditional branch of Shaolin kung fu?! What can be done?
KFallingRain I've seen his so-called Tiger Claw and Crane, and other videos, and he is a fraud. We can just warn people but I'm afraid there's nothing else we can do. I do know this guy learned his stuff from another fraud, Sin Te, and they had a falling out, but he is still spreading the bullshit of what he learned on these videos. The only credit I'll give him is that he is in shape, but what he teaches is nonsense.
Right. Well...it's a terrible shame. There ought to be a "kung fu" police fine tooth combing this crap on here! Ha! Of course, then, it wouldn't be freedom of expression, I suppose. Ah, well!
Its a weird conundrum because he touts all of this as "traditional shoalin" stuff and its not. Knowing there are SO many branches of kung fu does certainly allow for some interpretation but don't call it traditional, don't compare it to modern Wushu, just say what it is... a personal interpretation. IMO, Martial Arts CAN be more than the stringent, traditional styles - even modern Wushu is a modern interpretation of all of that - but be honest with what you're representing.
SifuFrank! You're commenting privileges are now revoked!!! Please enjoy our future Kung Fu videos! I have practiced Kung Fu full time since I was a young teenager! Any further negative comments from you will be deleted! Thanks, and I hope you enjoy all our future videos! Cheers!
I don't train in Shaolin Do (thank god) but the word from the Shaolin Do folks is that a lot of the stuff that's pre-black belt was created by the "grandmaster" of Shaolin Do. He recorded himself doing the "kata" and argued that that material was copywritten. I assume the stuff on here is the actual "shaolin do" that's some sort of kuntao (Chung Yen Shaolin?). Either way, they took Jake to court, and I assume he lost. Google: shaolin do deposition. That will tell you a lot more.
Wow. Great job man. I took Praying Mantis for year and been dying to get back into it, and then saw this video cause I always loved Eagle Claw. Keep up the great work man, awesome videos, amazing form and skill you have my friend!
Once again, it depends upon the person. True, some arts may have a more realistic curriculum and selection of techniques for one on one combat, but you still have to customize an art for a person. The techniques you might teach to a teen aged boy might not be at all appropriate for a 70 year old woman. Not only might she not be able to physically perform the techniques, she might be able to gouge an eye, yet when the situation actually occurs, she might not be able to bring herself to do it.
I'm not bashing the video at all, I'm glad to see people off the couch. I'm a practitioner of eagle claw style and have been for over a decade and a half. The eagle claw style focuses on the ripping and clawing motion of an over strengthened open hand style. It is an exceptionally brutal style focusing on ripping at the vascular and respiratory system. This is good stuff, but not eagle claw. I hope this comes across as the constructive criticism I mean it as. I have nothing but the best of intentions. A lot has been lost through the years in regards of Gung Fu and it is easy for even very educated people to become confused. I don't have anything to gain from this post as I stopped offering courses around 7 years ago and never charged anyway. Again, great video wrong understanding.
it'd be great if you posted a link to a video which you do consider to be "real"...for selfish reasons, I'm trying to decide whether to join a club and I'd like to see some examples.
FilthyMcNastyAzz I'd love to do that. I've been trying to get a bushcraft and survival channel going. Having some content on unarmed self-defense might fit really well. You can find my channel at Coyote Tracks, it only has a couple of videos. It will probably be a couple weeks until a proper guinea pig shows up for me to film. (I've literally turned into the old hermit on the mountain cliche, complete with fu manchu.) Until then a really great place to start finding out what is what is a book called the Bubishi. It's a series of documents that have been passed from one Gung-Fu practitioner to another for hundreds of years. It is where I started so many years ago and a great place to start for anyone interested in learning any style of Gung-Fu.
I completely agree with master Mace about the free issue. Since even a high quality free education it's hard to find or give; Your way it's completely laudable, and your lessons are very complete too. In fact everything I've learned about kung fu last moths it's come from your videos.
I followed, taught for, and learned from some Kung Fu teachers for about 8 years but I don't like to talk about them and/or bring any attention to them. They sued me in Federal Court for years. We ended up settling amicably last April. I left their organization years ago and I don't agree with the way they teach, train, treat people, run their business, etc. So my experience in M.A. has led me to honor people who are skillful, fun, practice hard, and have great morals, not blind lineage!
It look like you stoled from teachers for years. Not to be rude but everytime I look at one of your videos it just looks like bs to me. Once again, not trying to be rude but you shouldn't take what you seen once and try to bounce and flip it like you a master at it. And nobody cares about your so called successful businesses, we talking martial arts...
pressure points are divided into those that kill, those that paralyze , those that neurally and those that disrupt the Qi(chi) flow of the victims body.One may learn them if the sifu deems the student pure in the heart with no intentions to harm and that when you enter the 108 tecniques and have past all 10 Elements which happens beyond the black belt (10 to 12 years).Most come to learn them after they have become masters themselves and with over 30-40 years of practice.
Considering I am skilled in Jiu Jitsu, having taken it for so long, I can get the monk on the ground, and choked out in a split seconds. And my Taekwon Do is all leg attacks. Monks train mainly to block attacks from hands. And MMA helped me enable myself to throw punches that put out 800psi. The human brain can sustain long-term damage from 300psi, and I am putting out 800. If I landed a full power hit to the chest, it would break ribs. If I did a front snap kick, I could break his neck.
No art is superior to any other art. It is how you interpret and implement at a personal level. No art has ever fought another art. It has always been a person fighting another person. The results can even vary every day. If a master of art 1 just happens to be sick that day that he fights a beginner of an "inferior" art, he might lose due to a lucky punch. That event did not establish the beginner's art as superior. It was just an incident without meaning. The true worth of an art is personal.
Well just an fyi katas are a set of techniques, not just one big fight plan. A good kata would have individual techniques you use in a fight. Katas are practiced a lot so you get all the techniques "embedded" into your mind so you don't have to think about which technique you have to use, it just comes to you. When someone practices a kata it's a good idea to imagine yourself fighting someone so you really get the technique down.
While Taekwon-do is mostly based around Chagi (kicks), it shares very similar hand strikes as Kung Fu, such as the four-knuckle strike, eagle strike, and tiger claw. My taekown-do experience has not only taught me very powerful, almost un avoidable kicks, but it has taught me how to avoid just about any hand attacks, and even most leg attacks that can be thrown at me. If I performed a Tornado kick, there's little to no chance that the monk could avoid it, and that tornado kick would put him out.
But, your handgun is not on you at all times......My kung fu is!!! And, your handgun does not train your health, fitness, flexibility, cardio, brain, bones, immune system, longevity, or strength like my Kung Fu does!
You are entirely correct. I see absolutely no eagle claw kung fu in there. And I was wondering why he was holding a tiger instead of a proper eagle claw. He should demonstrate some forms like Wu Hua Bao, Xiao Ba Mian
I se a man that is willing to teach online for those who have no Gong Fu in their town and like Damon said do the techniques work? well, Jake Mace has a great Horse stance that some one that learned from a book could never acquire. He said he left his org, years ago so give the man a break! How many know taolu? So Kata is used, btw taolu means set way, so people who have no Chinese Martial Arts background understand. just remember some one made all MA up in the past. folk systems to Shaolin.
No martial art is superior to another. As a matter of fact, a lot of martial arts are derived from others. Kung fu (also known as gong fu) is not a tree of martial arts forms, but rather a phrase that basically translates into "hard work, better results". All styles are different, and vary in difficulty, when learning.
Jake the truth is that no matter what lineage you have, guess what if you cannot preform and teach then who cares,,, too many put too much into lineage. I have a great one, but I chose my Sifu from the skill of his disciples and my seniors... it takes one class and prior research. DO what you DO brother and don't let the hatful people keep you from living your truth.I heard what happened and I can only imagine the pain you felt and doubts in yourself but I think what you do shows courage man!
I can't believe you got sued. Reinds me of Bruce Lee. Personally I don't like techniques and all that, I like meditation, horse stance, hardening techniques, pain. conquering the self. I like to sit and watch a movie with my rock on my legs slapping and such, it's like a hobby. But you are flawless in your execution and your horse stance looks unreal. I mean it in a good way. I live in Texas, if I lived in Arizona I would train with you.
4:28 : My dad trained Jiu Jitsu for about 15-20 years, and he ALWAYS told me: "You don't show your back to your opponent, it's like asking to get punched/kicked/stabbed/etc. ... and I agree with him: if you were to spin like that you'd get hit on the spine, probably be paralyzed and pretty much beaten up in a matter of seconds, or he could just throw up his leg and kick you in the nuts "OPTIONAL!!!" I'm not trained in Kung Fu, but I did Jiu Jitsu (only a few months so.. yeah it's irrelevant) AND have had many fights 'cause many people don't like me :P, and have won pretty much every one of them. I've also have a pretty good understanding on what to do and what not to in fights and have never injured someone severly (not even a bruise, even tough I once pushed a guy with one hand and "little" strength and he fell over a table bumping into the next one) and still stopped or even paralyzed them for a bit (always catching their heads before they hit the ground... often with my foot). Thanks for reading up to this point.. if you have.
How could they sue you? That second move was pretty cool I may try it out in sparring. it seems like you know a few different styles of king fu, are you able to blend them or would you defualt to one style and simply teach from memory the others?
hi jake, i was about to ask a question, when i noticed some of the comments on here, personally i think u are a fantastic martial artist and a great teacher, dont let these fools get u down with dumbass comments!! keep on doing what u love !! ..... and now for my question lol, could u possibly do a quick demo video on how to properly do that double smash kick u do in the tao lu above
could you explain what exactly was copy written? certainly you can't copyright a strike or stance. So was it forms or something like that. Curriculum could be anything.
if you are near Arlington there's Dr John Painter at the Gompa. I just googled martial arts and texas and came up with alot of hits. Where are you located?
what if the person doesnt freeze in motion like the guy in the video and follows through with a kick or punch or clinches you or something then what do u do
when i see u grabbing his neck and pulling him to the ground straightly, i always imagine if there's a tiger in that case, also tiger mostly stuns the enemy by grabs. i mean i like to see how those techniques work i'd like to see more videos about stuns and like tiger forms.'
Of course they can. They are the instructors, a special case, and have practiced the art for many decades (probably) on an almost daily basis. But, the martial arts are not just for the instructors. The vast majority of the elderly cannot do this, and I will bet that even the instructors of that age can no longer perform as they did when they were in their 20's. But, they probably don't have to. They have most likely refined their techniques to be the most effective with the least effort.
This is some cool stuff dude. Dont let the haters bug you. Id kill to learn this shit, im just stuck in Texas (love my state, but no Kung Fu close by :/ )
When was the last you took on a Kung Fu master? Because if you're interested, I can give you names and addresses of some serious Shaolin masters all over the U.S, and you can see if what they do works or doesn't.
My left ear really enjoyed this video...
I agree, that's pretty annoying.

We will! This week we will be adding more!
You called the Tornado Kick, Double smash😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tornado with non kicking leg flying in the air

Kung Fu is about versatility! Water must "flow" but also "crash"! Tense when you need to be and Soft when you need to be! :)

This is not traditional eagle claw kung fu i been training eagle claw kung fu for years and i can see this is nothing
I love how fierce and swift this style looks. Really cool.
Glad you all are liking the Eagle Claw! Hope you get it down!

Cool! Nice pic on your TH-cam channel btw!
I teach the same thing! General Yue Fei! We also teach General Yue Fei's special Qi Gong! Search for it on our channel!
My school is rawlette texas, and we're focused on eagel claw.
While Taekwon-do is mostly based around Chagi (kicks), it shares very similar hand strikes as Kung Fu, such as the four-knuckle strike, eagle strike, and tiger claw. My taekown-do experience has not only taught me very powerful, almost un avoidable kicks, but it has taught me how to avoid just about any hand attacks, and even most leg attacks that can be thrown at me. If I performed a Tornado kick, there's little to no chance that the monk could avoid it, and that tornado kick would put him out.

I'm not trained in Kung Fu, but I did Jiu Jitsu (only a few months so.. yeah it's irrelevant) AND have had many fights 'cause many people don't like me :P, and have won pretty much every one of them. I've also have a pretty good understanding on what to do and what not to in fights and have never injured someone severly (not even a bruise, even tough I once pushed a guy with one hand and "little" strength and he fell over a table bumping into the next one) and still stopped or even paralyzed them for a bit (always catching their heads before they hit the ground... often with my foot).
Thanks for reading up to this point.. if you have.
How could they sue you? That second move was pretty cool I may try it out in sparring. it seems like you know a few different styles of king fu, are you able to blend them or would you defualt to one style and simply teach from memory the others?
Ying Jow Pai = Eagle Claw Style
hi jake, i was about to ask a question, when i noticed some of the comments on here, personally i think u are a fantastic martial artist and a great teacher, dont let these fools get u down with dumbass comments!! keep on doing what u love !! ..... and now for my question lol, could u possibly do a quick demo video on how to properly do that double smash kick u do in the tao lu above
could you explain what exactly was copy written? certainly you can't copyright a strike or stance. So was it forms or something like that. Curriculum could be anything.
if you are near Arlington there's Dr John Painter at the Gompa. I just googled martial arts and texas and came up with alot of hits. Where are you located?
what if the person doesnt freeze in motion like the guy in the video and follows through with a kick or punch or clinches you or something then what do u do
vARY GOOD
Can you do the rest of the follow up videos for these form? I want to practise this form and use it as a main source of self defence
Good job, very well presented! :)
Hey, does Steven Anderson ever come in your dojo?
The stances look not tight. The kicks don't kick in the head they kick the waist or legs.
"not F.U. but Fu" haha, really cool video
Ha. Eagle Claw in Pheonix.
FLOWER!!
Lily Lau where are you?
This is awesome!!
when i see u grabbing his neck and pulling him to the ground straightly, i always imagine if there's a tiger in that case, also tiger mostly stuns the enemy by grabs.
i mean i like to see how those techniques work i'd like to see more videos about stuns and like tiger forms.'
Of course they can. They are the instructors, a special case, and have practiced the art for many decades (probably) on an almost daily basis. But, the martial arts are not just for the instructors. The vast majority of the elderly cannot do this, and I will bet that even the instructors of that age can no longer perform as they did when they were in their 20's. But, they probably don't have to. They have most likely refined their techniques to be the most effective with the least effort.
What, no spin to win?
some video from eagle claw in a real fight?
at 4:49 wouldnt it be better to use a brazilian jiu jitsu tarantula hold, lock and trap aside from the Eagle claw
0:50 - Can't find that video, sorry. Would like to find it :)!
This is some cool stuff dude. Dont let the haters bug you. Id kill to learn this shit, im just stuck in Texas (love my state, but no Kung Fu close by :/ )
When was the last you took on a Kung Fu master? Because if you're interested, I can give you names and addresses of some serious Shaolin masters all over the U.S, and you can see if what they do works or doesn't.
