Oh!
That’s crazy!
I’m 82 years of age!
Pull it up!
I’m trying!
I’m trying man! I can't!
Hi guys!
Hi, this is Jingyi.
Today we’re going to try something different.
Kungfu!
And I’ve got a special person, Hanley.
What’s up man! Nah, I got it from here.
It’s episode three.
It’s your boy Hanley.
The last time y’all saw me, I was on Goldthread, cooking.
Today we’re going to do some kungfu,
with an 82-year-old man.
Y’all already know how it’s going to go.
I’m going to lift him up with one hand.
We are going to be respectful to Chinese martial arts,
pretend like we’re not just there for one day,
and then we are going to rate it, out of five.
It closed on me!
My guy, man, my guy!
Hello!
Hi master!
We’re here to learn kungfu from the master.
Welcome, welcome.
This is the master.
Master Li Chan-wo studied under grandmaster Mok Kwai-lan,
who was married to legendary kungfu master Wong Fei-hung.
Change your clothes first.
Thank you, thank you.
This is it man! We got the uniform man!
We’re going to dress up as these real disciples.
Have you seen the back?
is one of the major kungfu styles in southern China.
Hung Gar is about hard energy,
which is very powerful,
but also about soft energy.
Wong Fei-hung has three famous Hung Gar kungfu moves.
The first is called gong, or Taming the Tiger Fist.
The second is Tiger Crane Paired Form Fist.
And the third is Iron Wire Fist.
You might have seen these rings
in Stephen Chow’s blockbuster movie
“Kung Fu Hustle.”
Today we will teach you some simple kungfu moves.
It’s a simplified version of Taming the Tiger Fist.
First move, it’s about harnessing hard energy.
Don’t shake like that. You need to use your strength.
Bend your fingers, otherwise they’ll get hurt easily.
Not shaking. I need to use my strength.
Relax your right wrist.
1, 2, 3.
Then put your hand on your waist.
We call this move bikkiu. Raise your hands quickly, like this.
Bring your arms up into a folded position.
Don’t hunch your shoulders. It looks very ugly.
Then, stretch out your arms.
And fan (do a semi-circular motion with your arms).
And then ding (lock your arms).
There you go!
Then, raise this hand and punch to the side.
Your palm should face this way.
This way!
This is called chuen.
And this is lau (squat slightly).
Stay there.
Wan.
Circling,
left side, right side.
Wan is to channel your qi.
Now zai.
Lower your fists
near your stomach.
The other way.
These are the 12 Bridges moves.
This is simplified. Simplified version.
It’s not simplified at all to me.
One movement is One sequence.
(The original set has) 108 moves.
In total for Hung Gar kungfu?
No, only one set
of Wong Fei-hung’s Hung Gar style.
Which part of my body should I use?
Arms.
Extend your arms!
Divided into two parts, two ways.
Steady. Hold here.
And then punch.
I actually want you to yell.
You can yell “Hey!”
Hey!
Lift.
Hold something
to pull it up.
And then bend down.
These moves are part of the 12 Bridges.
Is my kungfu different from Hanley’s?
No, you guys are the same.
She doesn’t know what she‘s doing.
I thought it’s different, different kungfu.
It’s the same thing man.
Try to pull my arm.
Oh!
That’s crazy!
I’m 82 years of age.
I’m using strength to try to pull his hand towards me.
Now I am going to use my strength.
Oh, that’s crazy!
I’m trying to pull his hand over to me but I can't.
I’m going to use my strength!
One, two, three!
Wow!
Pull it up!
I’m trying!
I’m trying man! I can't!
The strength and the power are coming from my hands.
It also felt like the amount of strength that his hand has,
it’s like when you pull it,
you feel like you were trying to lift his whole body up.
It’s crazy!
My strength comes from the iron rings.
Only the greeting.
You try!
Step forward.
This is called the Tiger Claws move.
And this is the Tiger and Dragon move.
Pull back.
You feel heavy?
How to measure this weight? You go get a liter of water
and you put it in a plastic bag.
Then you put both liters of water, one in here, one in here,
and try to bring it back home.
Ah, not bad.
It’s okay!
Don’t hurt yourself.
I can try like two more (rings) for each arm.
When did you start kungfu?
Seven and half years of age.
That time I got really sick, so Wong Fei-hung’s wife
Mok Kwai-lan, she said, “You have to learn kungfu,
otherwise your body will be very weak.”
So kungfu is good for health.
I’m 82 years of age. I still can learn, can teach.
I’m 27.
Very good.
I thought I could’ve just like.
He was like, “Pull!”
I was like, “Bro, can man. I’ll do it right away like that.”
And then I was like, “Wait, what.”
All he needed was like one move!
GG man!
Tell me Hanley, did the kungfu master blow up your mind?
Obviously, he’s got impressive core strength
that I was like underestimating him for.
It kind of hurt my ego a little.
I’m a little sour,
a little sad.
I’m 27.
He is 80.
I definitely expected myself to win at some point.
What about you, Jingyi?
I think kungfu is definitely a good way to keep
your body in shape,
but i prefer yoga, honestly. Compared to kungfu.
I mean kungfu is too like, rough.
I’m going to rate it three.
I definitely want to see kungfu films
or some documentaries about kungfu,
because I think it is more like a culture thing for me.
I personally rate it a four.
Obviously, we just went there for a day
for the experience,
but I feel, once you join a program
or even try to put yourself into this practice,
it’s about discipline, right?
You keep doing the daily chores
and doing whatever that gets you into the next step,
learning new moves, practicing memory.
Having good self-discipline is one of the key components of doing kungfu and stuff.
doing kungfu and stuff.
It is a new takeaway from city life, right?
I feel like going to the gym and all that stuff, it gets so crowded.
But going to a nice little neighborhood
and embrace yourself with a team
that just like practices (together).
I would call it like meditation
but presented in a martial arts way. It’s cool in a way.
All I am saying is man, kungfu is the s—.
We will put about 40, or 50, or 60.
As long, as much as he can handle.
Jingyi? Is there a safe word?
