The Frode post good kung fu thread.

My teacher from 86-88, performing Qigong i hate even to watch...
fast forward to 2:02, enjoy:

 


I really like the technique that the instructor is showing here - incidentally, it's functionally pretty identical to a technique used in savate competitions too, the coup de pied bas.

 
That's a very good channel about Kung Fu.
A really nice fellow visits Asia to meet masters from various arts.
I really like his Taiwanese series of episodes, like this one.


To me kung Fu like Baji are very interesting.
They seem more like civilian defence programs to give an average guy some clever hacks to beat someone in a self defense situation, by teaching him how to hit hard how to take an angle and grab and joint lock his opponent.
Stuff that they could definitely work against an average Joe or a bigger guy that overestimates himself.
 
Maybe the most impressive Kung Fu practicioner I've seen.

He seems to generate a lot of force with minimal hip movement.
