I developed this Rattan Ring form from the Chuka SPM Saam Bo Gin. Due to the nature of the ring some techniques had to be slightly modified in order for the form to flow. Using the ring helps keep both hands feeling pressure as well as keeping true with the Yin/Yang principle, not to mention how it helps condition the bridge. Much respect to Sifu Tony Blum and Manuel Rodriguez who keep Sifu Wong's Chuka Mantis going. I hope this makes you :)
@guiltybystander77 - In this video the rattan ring is being used as a tool not a weapon. The purpose of this tool is to condition the arms, develop proper hand placement, and especially develop transitional tension between both hands. It's a mobile wooden dummy, a tool, like a punching bag.
Well done Sifu Welther.
wow
Beyond impressive. Rare is it that I come across a video that makes me stop and say damn. Best use of the Rattan Ring I have ever seen.
Impressive use of the Rattan Ring, an under appreciated device with much to offer the dedicated practitioner, 5 Star! - Ging Lai
the main principle of this ring is very smart. the circularity of the movements.
It's a brilliant tool.
Thank you for sharing your form. Greetings from our SPM Sou Gar Style (Hakka PM) from Germany!
Thanks, I needed that today God bless you. He's not only my Master but a good freind.
great hand and footwork.i've seen this a few times and notice more everytime i've seen it.
inspiring work ,thank you sir.
I also enjoyed the book you published.
Thats cool!
Thats the best rattan ring form I've seen. Must get one so I can try this...
Great set! Thank you for sharing!
Very nice! Thanks for sharing this.
In my opinjion this form is very useful and nice. The Rattan Ring is useful in Praying Mantis Kung Fu practice .
Great job! I see you all your effort shine! 5 stars!
As long as He's your master I wouldn't worry who you learn from. Process what you learn. Keep what is good and leave the rest.
Cool form! Really good use of the rattan ring.
loved the video very well done
I think this form is very nice and very useful. The rattan ring is an amazing training and conditioning tool. My teacher showed me other ways of single and double person training with the ring and its as I said AMAZING :-)
very clever. well done you
excellent adaptation and sticking...
I don't know about being similar to WC energetically. I guess it depends how close your looking. I use the larger rings 14-16". I use the larger diameter for conditioning the the bridge as well as keeping both hands alive.
Very cool !
Very concise movements. You vids are sweet.
best ring form i have seen
Thank you.
Nice moves.
Your style does intrigue me, in many ways so similar to the version of Fukien white crane taught me and yet in many way so alien, shame I'm on the wrong side of the pond to touch hands with you. Thanks for your replies and videos.
Very nice!
Air Cycles has to do with how you breathe when you fight. Proper breath control is how we keep our strikes measured and powerful. Learning to control your "air" to get the most out of it is what I call "Air Cycles". Smaller cycles focus on concentrated calculated strikes while in large cycles there is much more movement and rapid strikes between breaths. This is one way our form training is used to build Dan Tian power.
Beautiful :)
Thank you, one thing that I am curious about at the beginning of the form just after the opening fist you perform a downward double double phoenix-eye fist punches followed by a biu jee movement (for want of better term), I have noticed similar movements in other versions of SPM as well, what is the function of these movements?
great!!
Mastery!
I've seen people use the ring as a weapon but that is not it's primary use. It's a tool for training. The purpose of this tool is to condition the arms, develop proper hand placement, and especially develop transitional tension between both hands. It's a mobile wooden dummy, a tool, like a punching bag.
cool, haven't seen it with the ring until now.
Excellent! It is the non-Chinese practictioner, being free from traditional baggages, will take kung fu to the next level thru their willingness to experiment and innovate.
Purchased 3 different sizes of rattan rings and one of your tutorials on your website,
i'm 8yrs behind these videos, I've gotta allot of work to do, do you still teach nowadays or retired,
Thanks for sharing your teaching,
Love from London.
Great to hear!
seems similar on an energetic level to wing chun ring. what size ring do use?
Danke !!
These rings are not expensive and can be found online. Look for rings with 14-17" diameter to work with. I like the bigger ones bc they are more difficult to use and require more attention.
Are you able to make your own rings, like is a 6 inch towl ring good to practice with?
I've seen qi gong teachers use these and other similar tools for their students to perfect fluid movement and grace.
No problem. I'm always free to discuss.
Your answer reminds me of a Fujian Yong Chun White Crane saying '100 students, 100 San Jans (three wars form)'. What do you mean by the term air cycles?
What size/diameter ring is that? And is the diameter measured by the inside or outside of the ring. Thanks!
The reason why there are so many versions has to do with the nature of Southern Chinese Martial Arts. Every branch of SPM has its own SBG and some have multiple versions of SBG. In Chuka SPM there is one version. However, the form has many depths so it can be trained fast, slow, different air cycles, emphasis on short power, or emphasis on more complex techniques. 5 different people could do our form and it could look different.
How many versions of Sam Bo Gin are there? Out of curiosity why Hurricane Fist?
Chu Gar and Chuka are the same words/names just spelled differently. As far as the art is concerned the difference is with the lineage. Different teachers may have passed things down differently. Our Chuka Sombogin form passed down through Sigung Wong is different from the form passed down from Gene Chen. It is essentially the same art but many of the drills and philosophies may have variations. Who are you learn Chu Gar from?
Where is a good source to obtain one of these rings? I've played around enough with the wreaths used for crafts... wanting a real ring :)
You can use this in Wing Chun? Hmm, Ill have to try that. Southern Praying Mantis is also something Id definetly look at to adding to my own fighting method, in that case.
I know Sifu Manuel but I did not train under him. My Sifu is Tony Blum who also studied under Sigung Wong.
Nice job. Now switch to an iron ring and continue the good journey.
Nice idea, especially since its hard find good partners for this style. (Where I am).
I want to learn SPM so much but there are no classes given anywhere near me. Is there a way to learn it on my own?
No Mason, but I know you have had a few lessons. I'm sure you could teach him a thing or two when next you guys hang out;)
Is the ring use as a weapon, or is it use as a training method??
Do you study with Sifu Rodriguez?
what school are you from.....
@teeroee hurricane fist martial arts in madison wisconsin.
