Good clip, looks pretty good. So is that your sifu or sihing?

He's actually my sihing if you look at it because his sifu was my sifu as well, but he was bestowed the title of sifu before i started at the school ,so i call him sifu.

yeah, he'd kick my butt with it all the time.

His power and speed is amazing ,i could never hit him when we sparred.:mp5:

Then i learned that knowing some monkey helps you very well when fighting against a monkey stylist ,otherwise it's a very confusing style to fight against.

UNPREDICTABLE!!

is the right word for monkey style.

That was a great clip. He obviously has a lot of skill. :)
 
Cool indeed. Are you learning that form?

What's different between southern and morthern monkey?

Nice clip Tiger fist.

I have a question, does anyone have an idea about how to use such moves for fighting?, I mean were these moves made for show or it was established for self defence in the first place?. Is there any video that shows the southern monkey style in action (in a fight).

I can very much vouch for the effectiveness of the techniques, don't confuse the movements with Wu Shu or Chop Suey movies. The form was done at a tournament, so of course a lil more flash is needed, thus that stop and go type of movement.

Monkey is a very effective style of fighting, the basics themselves are very applicable.

There is nothing wrong with the domonstration, the show was perfect.

Another question: is the southern monkey practised as a whole style ( I mean like Karate with many Kata and rankings) or it is a part of a whole style with other forms of fighting (I mean a specific form of a certain style)?.

It's taught along side of another style which is Cheung Kune Pai (Southern Long Fist) but it's a stand alone system itself. It has many sets and subsets.
