Learning the Prototype of Shaolin Kung Fu - YouTube Series

[Leo Shaolin]

I embarked on a journey back to the roots of Shaolin Kung Fu!

I didn’t even have to leave my garden for it, but it was a journey back in time, accompanied by modern technical aids. Now, if that isn’t the harmony of Yin and Yang ☯!

In my brand-new YouTube series, you can follow along as I learn a historic Kung Fu set (a sequence of techniques) and learn a lot about Kung Fu philosophy yourself.

I also share some tips that I use to work through and internalize complicated things.

Preparation is important for any project. And that’s what the first video is about, where you’ll learn a lot about the history of Kung Fu and the chosen set.

The real fun begins in Episode 2. ?

I’m glad that this project, which I worked on all by myself for weeks, is now seeing the light of day, and I would be very happy if you could help the videos reach a wider audience with ? and comments. Thank you for your support!

Enjoy watching ... and surely learning something too.

Thank you Sifu Leo for sharing some kung fu mnemo-techniques

[Leo Shaolin]

Always happy to share my knowledge and experience, dear Siheng!

Awesome!

But the secret that I really want to know, is what sort of grass do you use on your lawn? Mine starts to get bald patches if I train on it a couple of days in a row. :'(

Haha, do you mean the dandelion field that is interspersed by clover and a few blades of grass?

When freshly cut, the "lawn" looks quite okay. At least it's green.

Normally, I'd switch my starting point every day I practice outside. But wait for days 5 and 6 of this series.

Will I mange to learn the routine of this long set on day 3! Find it out! ?

Kung Fu philosophy and learning tips included.

Sifu likes to praise me for the precise execution of my Kung Fu. And while I constantly find details to improve, I frequently receive compliments on my "perfect form."

Kung Fu offers plenty of opportunities to channel my perfectionism.

It's nice that the techniques look particularly polished as a result, but that's not the main reason why precision is so crucial.

In a combat situation, a sloppy stance can leave an unintended opening for an opponent's kick, an inaccurate step might not get you close enough, and an incorrectly executed hand form can lead to injuries.

In the latest episode of my YouTube series, I share some of the concepts and tips I use to refine and perfect my techniques.
