Hello iam studing Leung Shum’s Eagle Claw Kung Fu the last one and a half year.the claw is like the upper photo you show and about the three finger claw i admit i do not know where is it from.now about the Shaolinlueb who said he wanted to see grandmaster Leung Shum in video at early age i can tell him that i watched a seminar from him about 8 months ago and he still is more than fast.(althought probably when he was younger he could be faster.you can find a lot of his dvds in the internet both wu tai chi and eagle claw.(tip)Do not try to learn a form by dvd though you will learn it wrong i assure you.Shaolinlueb what style of eagle claw are you learning?and what exactly is the lost fist?is like wu shu’s long fist or not?
[QUOTE=Starchaser107;586612]the firsyt picture is the traditional northern chinese method of eagle claw chin na or kahm na , the symbolic representation and application of the eagles talons used to seize and control.
the second picture is japanese, although i have seen this hand posture come up in a few southern styles and oddly in some hsing-i that i’ve seen.[/QUOTE] http://www.sifushop.com
don’t know if that’s you langshan in the video…but whoever it is, I’d suggest keeping the fingers together and in line with the hand (not bent backwards) when making the claw…it will look better (among other things).
It would be nice if Mr Fabien would clarify his teacher Liu’ Li Hong is recognised as creating performance eagle claw for films and wu shu competition, but to imply Liu Li Hong created eagle claw in China is little on inaccurate side to say the least.
Northern Eagle Claw Ying Jow Faan Tzi Mun has been practised in Hebei province since the mid 1800’s.
Golden Eagle Fist Gum Ying Kune, a Southern Chinese style found mainly in Taiwan, which primarily uses the 3 finger eagle claw method has been taught there for a minimum of 80 years.
I’m german Kung Fu student and I’ve got a question concerning the claw-technique of the Eagle Claw Kung Fu. I’m very interested in the history of Kung Fu and that’s why I oftern look around on homepages of different Kung Fu styles.
I never saw this kind of claw-technique associated with the Eagle Claw before. When I saw the Eagle Claw technique for example in a movie the actor always used this claw technique:
Unfortunatly I’m not a student of the Eagle Claw Kung Fu and there is not even an Eagle Claw Skool in Germany. So I thought, that you perhaps could help me out. Can somebody tell me, where those different claw techniques come from, what their meaning is and when they are to be used?
Thank you previously.
Kind regards[/QUOTE]
Hello Soul Guy ,
Well if there is no eagle claw school in your area , then you need to get 2 - sources of materials , the lily lau and the Shum Leung DVD materials if you can get them . Eagle claw known for their expertise for locking of the opponents’ joints’ .
Lily lau ’ s DVD materials you can goto wing lam kung fu enterprises and for Shum
Leung ’ s DVDs you can goto ESPY TV.com . Depends on what type of EagleClaw system you want to study , best thing to do for yourself is do your own research .
Or you if you are loaded with money then contact these Sifus Lily Lau or Shum Leung , you either go to visit them at their school or plug in with them to see if they can come to your area to train with you .
In the movies the actor’s use the eagle claw techniques like you mentioned in your post to make the movie look better .
These are some of the ideas you can use other than what I ’ ve mentioned to you in this posts you ever tried checking out youtube ? They either might or might not have something eagleclaw ,but go and check it out ok .
