Shaolin Kung Fu Master demonstrates the “Taizu blade”

[DagwoodDogwoggle]

As someone who boxed first, wrestled second, then studied Kung-Fu for the cultural aspects, then moved onto MMA, I can testify that a lot of this "bullshido" actually works.
The key is simply that you don't "set it up. Your punching, your clinching, whatever, and you see/feel an opportunity to use this pushing hands and it works. "Internal Power" is just physics.
I had a friend who studied Aikido and thought it was great. I told him, "It can be, but only after you become effective at more basic fighting first. Learn to wrestle, box, Muay Thai, Judo - the more practical systems FIRST. Then go back to Aikido."
Anyway, a lot of Kung-Fu does work. The over exaggeration in many of the demonstrations do it a disservice.

I’ve experienced this with a kung fu master eight years ago. I held him back when he forced himself toward me, and then, when he applied his “Chi” I couldn’t withstand the force.
He pushed me back easily.
I was completely flabbergasted by that.

Sorry bullshido connoisseurs, but this is simply a lesson in body structure. This isn't necessarily a technique, its a pillar of martial arts. This can be used in many situations, for example, holding your hands up to block a roundhouse to the face. You want them to be rigid and active so the kick actually stops at your forearms and doesnt travel through into your face.

I used this technique against a beggar in Calcutta. He had his hand extended wouldn’t stop asking for rupees. So I turned my hand like the guy in the video here - using the “ blade” . I even snickered the exact same way . The beggar was instantly incapacitated.

The first movement had countermovement in his arm, applying no pressure. The second movement he used his structure; GIMMICK

[darrylkassle]

All very impractical with an obedient cooperative student.

“After talking for so long, if you still not going to fake shock and let your arms down? I am cutting… your actor’s fee…PUT YOUR ARMS DOWN ALREADY! The camera is rolling!

My late brother would have sailed brother Kung Fu master off a building and people would have heard his Kung Fu laughter blocks away.😊

By the time you want to use your "cut" my hammer would've crushed your nose. No one holds a hammer in still air waiting to be knifed. you just ram your hammer into his face. enough said.

Natural arm becomes blade. I have seen a lot of ex- shaolin monk making living as butcher using their arm as machete. Very cost effective as sharpening it also dint take much as few rubbing on nearby rock is enough. I said ' wow'. ' wow' say it too, out loud three times, that way you can acquire arm- blade too

[nephetula]

Fus time - push sideway
Second time - push down
No can defense deception

If only Khabib and McGreggor knew these techniques they would be great fighters, but alas, they have never practised this deadly art.
