- Synopsis:
This instructional video is from Warrior Body Buddha Mind an Australian based company that teaches traditional Chinese Martial Arts and has released some instructional dvds of the rare Omei Bak Mei system. They are also Australian representatives of the Doo Family Kung Fu. The video teaches the first form from Omei Bak Mei called Yum Yearng Jik Bo Kuen (Yin Yang Straight Step Punch) and it is taught by Sifu Garry Hearfield. Garry has 25 yrs of traditional Chinese Martial Arts under his belt (or should that be sash) predominantly in Yau Kung Mun. Before the form instruction begins Garry takes us through how to make some training equipment that will develop the bridge and the grip. He shows us how to make a roll bar out of a metal table leg filled with ball bearings (I’m working on mine at present!), one from larger sized PVC pipe filled with water and a leather chin na bag filled with ball bearings. He also covers how best to train with these. SIfu Garry then covers the correct stance, posture and how best to generate the coiling power. He also covers the Fau, Chum, Tung, Tow (Float, sink, Swallow, Spit) method found in Hakka Arts. He then breaks the form down starting from the opening salutation (he even explains the meaning behind the salutation) and then covers each technique found in the form. - Genres:
