Take Qualified Instruction from one of the more respected Schools of Chinese Kung Fu
The Yi Zong Kung Fu school has it origins with Gao YiSheng in 19th century China, it was passed to Zhang Junfeng who escaped to Taiwan from the Communists. Zhang taught the Hong brothers, and the exceptional Hung Yixiang taught my teacher Luo Dexiu.
Each of these teachers underwent years of intensive training. Compared to many other modern systems, YiZong has retained a lot of material, retaining the 3 systems of Bagua, Tai Chi and Xing Yi in their entirety.
Each of these arts retained in the lineage helps develop skills aimed at different individual goals, levels and ages. This is the traditional method in Chinese kung fu. After learning the basics a student chooses the art, or pairing of arts, that supports their goals.
Learning the entire system is only meant for the teachers, who are few in number. Typically, teachers in the YiZong school begin training in their teenage years and have attained some level of success in full contact competition.
Students are also held to a certain standard within the school. Choreography is not enough, the principles, concepts and martial application are included. It should be noted that traditional applications have been preserved in the YiZong system. The methods do not rely on fighting methods re-introduced from MMA, boxing or Muay Thai, as is the case in many kung fu schools today. We have enormous respect for modern methods and do not fall into the error of rejecting them either.
Quality, personal attention
Internet business is typically about scaling: millions of views and millions of ‘followers’. But not here.
If you prefer a more personal situation to learn in, you have found a good place.
Real Kungfu requires relationship and attention for a good transmission. These courses are on the internet, but they are about Kungfu.
I don’t want faceless followers in an unbalanced para-social relationship. I am committed to encouraging genuine connections between real people. If that is something you’d like to support and be a part of you are welcome.
