Taiji Prying Mantis Kung Fu

 

Demonstrations

We have provided some short clips of our basic training.  We hope you enjoy them! 

New Clips!

If you were unable to download your desired clips right away, please try again, as they are popular and the server may be very busy. 

We update this page regularly.  You are welcome to check it our often.

You will need a player that can play WMV (Windows Media File) such as Windows Media Player, etc.

IMPORTANT: For best play back quality, please wait for the file to be downloaded before playing it.

8 Basic Stances  (2.3 MB):  The Ji Ben Ba Shi or Ba Da Ma Bu is quintessential foundation building for Tanglangquan. In CCK TCPM, the Ba Shi (8 stances) are performed as a mini form as seen in the clip. We put a longer pause in between the 3 sections for viewing purposes.

Iron Ox Ploughs the Field (1.5 MB): Iron Ox Ploughs the Field is basic traditional core strength training exercise. It is also almost identical Hindu push up. The mantis version of Iron Ox Ploughs the Field is remarkably similar to Yoga asanas’ Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation).

Ground-Work  (3.5 MB) : Our club in Yellowknife offers a pragmatic approach to reconcile classical martial arts methodology with modern martial sports paradigm. Here are some drills that address the stand up, clinch, and ground phases of hand to hand combat. Besides drilling, sparring is also encouraged to pressure test techniques.  As seen in the clip, there is as much hard work as fun. That’s the basic philosophy of the club.

Xian Ren Gong Shou (immortal arches hands) (2.8 MB): This is the first road of the 18 Luohan Gong and the drills for applying it in self defense situations. Our version is not only a health exercise but also a practical self defense form.

Students involved in the following clips are as follows (written by Kaveh):

Kaveh: Black T-Shirt with Gray Pants (Sifu Hui's CCK TCPM student )

Ron:      Black Tank Top with Blue Pants (TaeKwon Do / Grappling)

The surroundings for the following training sessions could not get any more real than this (for all these clips).  Have a look:

 

Stand-Up-Only Sparring#1(NEW, 6MB): In this clip, these students' objectives are to use kicks, punches, and sweeps to subdue the opponent (of course, without injuring the other person, as it is only a training session-- but a few may slip!) . 

Stand-Up-Only Sparring #2(NEW, 3MB, similar to above)

Stand-Up-Only Sparring #3(NEW, 6MB, similar to above)

Sparing with Take Down (NEW, 8MB)In this clip, these two students are basically going at it almost all out, except that they try to avoid leaving bruises on each other faces (we all have to go back to work next day).  Once a dominant position has been achieve by either fighter then they get back up to go at it again.

To The Ground: (NEW, 5MB, description written by Kaveh): This is a quick demonstration of two students trying to put their techniques and counters to work.  The best way to learn is to get down and dirty in a real outside environment!  Of course, Sifu Hui always manages to slip in a comic moment.  Have a look.
