    Styles like LF and Tantui often get a bad name as being useless for fighting due to their large extended postures and Wushu-ish appearance. Master Han's demo has certainly shown that nothing can be further from the truth.

    Really nice! I used to train Tan Tui, but seeing them come to life is a genuine treasure. I'd only like to add that the principle of using the same patterns with and without weapons is very much present in Philipino Martial Arts. Always nice to find resemblances across the spectrum.

    Very knowledgeable and he can teach without trying to bully or dominate others. I respect this man a lot.

      Absolutely. I have come accros more than one martial arts teacher who wacks you when demonstrating and then disingenuously, says, "sorry, sorry are you OK?" when you know darn-well it was intentional.

    Love seeing northern styles that are obscure in the West like classical Long Fist getting coverage for English-speaking audiences

    People make fun of Traditional Martial Arts, because they often fail under MMA rules, but there is a certain strength, timing, and speed one gets from this type of training. I'd love to see these traditional schools do more sparring/grappling so they can show what makes their styles special in sports fighting.

    There are 2 types of Kung Fu teacher. The ones who keep it super close to the vest and hardly show you anything and the ones who are like "Look at all this cool stuff I know". I much prefer the second group. :)

    Pure awesomeness! I hope to be able to meet this Sifu again. We trained together at his Uncle and Aunts gym, although unlike this young master I am not a closed door disciple.. His stances are masterful. I hope to connect with you again. Sorry I could not attend the grandmaster's funeral, I had COVID at the time. Peace be Sifu Leung and Love to his family. - Thomas

    The Guoshuguan was a major national effort to transform and modernize martial arts and their instruction in China. Taiwan is the best preserved repository of those traditions. Han Qing Tan was one of the top 10 finalists at the 1929 national tournament in Hangzhou. Fan Chi Sau was another significant representative of those traditions in Taiwan. He was especially respected for his Jian.
