Hi. I'm Sifu Romaine here to teach you the tiger and crane self-defense techniques. First we'll look at the crane techniques. To look at the crane techniques we have to understand that the crane is an evasive, quick moving animal. To form a crane's beak, you bring all the fingertips together. We can use the wrist to block or to hook. We can use it to block this way or to hook this way and then poking with the fingers to the eyes or other soft, vulnerable areas. Let's begin with the first technique.
Blocking inside, Mr. Robinson goes to the outside and pokes him in the eye. Let's look at it again. This time, Ty will attack him with two hands. And again. One and two. This time Mr. Robinson will follow with a crane link block and a kick. Now let's take a look and see what happens if he blocks the kick.
Now we'll take a look at some of the tiger techniques. First we have to understand the tiger claw. The tiger claw is a five finger claw, fingers bent. We can use the palm heel as well as the fingertips to not only claw and rake but also to get into vulnerable areas. We begin with a single punch. Mr. Robinson blocks, grabs, and tears. Now he's going to follow that technique with another tiger claw using a palm strike. Begin.
This concludes our demonstration of tiger and crane techniques.

oh i did hung gar in liverpool china town in 1982 only 6 months,but no one has ever hit me since,i was here wondering if they would show the crane move i learned,,from low down the body twists as we come up,using hips and that movement to thrust a crane poke,,, not shown here but should be as it shows how to use the body to put real power onto the hit :-)

@moonlooksnicetoday7198 11 жыл бұрын

Shaolin is certainly strong but it was not the moves that made them strong. It was the discipline and will to fight instilled from the start. Personally, I travel around China a lot and have learned a lot from various masters. Xingyiliuhe has always struck me as the one with the best hard style moves and Baguazhang has amazing soft techniques. It all comes down to how long, how often, and how hard you train.

In this style you train for three years between each black sash, my instructor is a fifth degree black sash and has been training for twenty years, call me a liar if you want to, but find a real Shaolin Kung Fu school, and try to armbar the Sifu, most Kung Fu instructors plainly state that there are no rules in a real fight, so grappling in this style involves eye gouging, groin tearing, biting, all kinds of ways to counter grappling, and, in this style, a lot of the forms can be used for multiple opponents, standing up and grappling, as of Saturday I am now a certified green sash in this style and I promise you it comes in handy out in the real world, I can modify a lot of the techniques that I've been taught and compete in mma, which is what I plan to do with my life right after I turn eighteen, still got a few months to train, I'll be a brown sash by then, and by the time I turn twenty, I'll have my first black sash, after that, I'm going to compete in mma, and I'm going to make sure that the art of Shaolin Kung Fu gets the respect it deserves.

How about the same level of fighters fight and c what happens... Do u guys watch film on every aspect of fighting or just learn that style bcuz a mma fighter learns every martial art not just 1 so when u try ur chop stick poke 2 the eye and catch a spinning elbow and get ur back took and put 2 sleep does ur finger pickle jar poke help or tell u what 2 do then?

shaolin have a rule about parts of the body which you do not engage cause they are deadly. Those guys might teach shaolin from the looks of it but i wouldn't recommend poking someones eye cause first of all you could leave him blind second of all that's not the Shaolin way of dealing with people. Also, Shaolin don't have belts sash or whatever there is no ranking system when you're training in traditional shaolin kung fu.

This thing seems nice... for theatre, if you want to work on a technique both practitioners need to work at the same level of speed, it can be either super fast or super slow, only then can you truly tell if your technique works, also,let other dude keep attacking in order to understand better whether or you were able to dominate the situation, from perspective there is nothing stopping him from throwing another move, be it a punch or a kick or anything else

I personally think it Could work, but would take a lot of time and practice. Back when these things were created, I may have this wrong, but I think martial artists practiced for at least 3 hours a day. Don't hate if I'm wrong on the technicality, but point is just don't think people should write it off so easily.

palhaçada pra quer bater com a ponta dos dedos se depois de defender ou bloquear acertar com os punhos(um soco) surtirá bem mais efeito?

@giovanni9298 8 жыл бұрын

o punho humano, sem exceções, é uma área muito frágil do ser humano, pode quebrar muito facilmente, é mais efetivo golpear com a palma do que com o punho, a palma não pode ser quebrada, é a ponta dos ossos do ante braço, o efeito, se feito corretamente, é o da estocada de um bastão, o punho tem um segmento de ossos (parte anterior aos dedos) que se apoia no pulso, por isso quando se desfere um golpe com o punho inevitavelmente o pulso vai receber um recuo e dissipar parte da força do golpe, mesmo que se faça flexões de punho ou qualquer outra coisa, você só diminui esse efeito mas não desaparece, alem do mais, os ossos de apoio dos dedos são muito frageis e golpear socando pode faze-los quebrar, principalmente os que apoiam o anelar e mindinho, as pontas do dedo se usa para arcetar o olho, garganta, tempora e ouvido, nesse caso é mais eficiente que o punho pois com as pontas do dedo vc consegue segar o oponente definitivamente, esmagar a garganta, impactar a tempora ou atordoar o oponente com mais pressão (pressão aumenta conforme vc diminui a area que recebe uma força, P=f/a em que p é pressão, f é força, a é area), com o punho só atordoa alem da possibilidade de quebrar a mão ser alta.

Kung fu is really fancy but when in a real fight, you can hurt yourself really hard. Your nails and fingers is in peril. After block an punch or kick, i really want to go for a jiu jitsu throw rather than crane hits by my fingertips. Or sweeping him feet really high, so he can fall well, right on is head.

@911shan 8 жыл бұрын

+- Ryz Actual Kung fu practitioners actually strengthen the tips of their hands by striking hard objects repeatedly, causing micro-fractures in the bones, which are then hardened when rebuilt by the body. After years of training, they can smash their fingertips and rip off solid cement if they felt like it. I have seen actual demonstrations of Tiger and Snake style. I, myself, am a practitioner of Kickboxing and Muay thai however. (Better suited to street fights)
