Is there any links to quicktime videos of the basic jing wu forms (tan tui, gung lik kuen, jeet kuen, etc). I trained at a Jing Wu school for over a year, and we only did forms (tan tui) once a month!:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: 
So Iād like to see how they actually look.
I have got several dozen of myself on CD doing the forms, however I have no idea how to put them online. Sorry mate.
thatās a b itch
i am sure someone on this board knows how to transfer the filesā¦ is it vcd or is it just a cd data file?
vidz
I guess thereās no Chin Woo school near you? I have been studying Tam Tui a while now, and I still would like to get a good video. I think Chin Woo should publish them!
Anyone know anything about the History of Di Jing (Big/Broken Fighting)
Iāve practised CW for over a year, as I mentioned.
books, video and vcd
for books with all the Chin Woo hand and weapon sets:
www.kungfumaster.hk.com (iām pretty sure this is it but just do a search for Wing Kit Lam. He teaches at the HK Chin Woo
VCD look for the Beauty company. Iāve only seen their Kung Lek Kuen and Ng Fu Cheung.
My sifu (shum Leung) has a few of those sets in his video series
kung lek kuen, jeet kuen, kwan yeung quan, ng fu cheung
you can find the advertisement in IKF magazine.
hope this helps your search.
thanks, but itās not vcd Iām looking for, itās internet video clips, quicktime or realplayer:)
oops
How are your ChinWoo studies going?
Do you really only do Tam Tui once a month? I think training must differ somewhat from school to school. Tam Tui for us in London was very important, and we did it at least once per week.
I havenāt been able to find any Tam Tui 12 on the net, but I did find a german one of Tam Tui 10ā¦ however, I wouldnāt recommend it as a good reference.
If you find anything please let me know, I am always looking for them myself!
Well, thatās the problem, I asked here because I canāt find any;) .
I stopped CW, I couldānt feel I was going anywhere, I felt I wouldānt learn anymore than I had. We only did forms in 1-2 training lessons a month, some months we never did any. I only learned 2 rows of the 12 row Tan Tui form we did, in that one year. A ****ty school, I can see it clearly now.
Okay I see what you are saying.
Yes it sounds like that Chin Woo school may not be a legitimate one.
Forms are a very important practise of any style of kungfu, itās what gives us the ability to be formless. Forms in kungfu are like learning scales in music, you canāt learn anything or understand music porperly until you learn the scales. So for them to only have you practise just TWO sets in a year is ludicrous.
Best of luck in finding everything.

oh, so your looking for free video clips. Good luck.
I really donāt see the problem with your school exept that it is not teaching forms as quickly as you would like. I guess youāve mastered those 2 rows though. What did the rest of your training include.
When I learned the Tan Tui set we first learned all the techniques in a row and drilled them with partners and on training apparatus before learning the actual row. If we were luckly we learned 2 rows a month. But I guess thats just how we did it and can say we really learned and can use apply the techniques well.
I dont know if its the same for you guys, but in my school, Tan Tui was kindaā¦ well it doesnāt sound as complicated as you guys, training all the techniques and all. Each row of our Tan Tui is just a different move, and for that move u repeat it 3 times for that row and that row is finished.
Iād be interested in any other versions of Tan Tui.
The training would include doing some tech, like a sidekick, a tigerclaw w. block, a tornadokick, etc, and do them over and over again simultaniously as a group, back and forth (we trained in a public-school gym, pretty small place). Then we would do an application in the same way, and then do them with a partner afterwards (without contact, stopping the punch in front of the face:rolleyes: ) and then the rest of the time: strength, endurance, and conditioning exercises.
we only learned two rows in the time I was there (some students who had been there longer knew 1-2 rows more)
My experience with Tan Tui is that it is soooooooooooooo boring when you first learn it. Man, I felt like it was a complete waste of time. True, there were some application that can be used. But overall, it was just so basic.
However, one of my sihings told me that it takes at least 2-3 years of CMA training before you can really taste the juice of this set. And guess what, he was right. Around about the third year into my training, I went back to look into Tan Tui again and I found that it was so much more deeper than I thought. Every single little move has so much application possiblities and most of them are so easy to use.
If I was asked to just use shaolin in sparring, I still use it as the basic structure in which I include moves from other forms from.
Wuman, I will say to you what my sihing said to me.
DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE TAN TUI
tan tui boring?
I would have to agree that the Chin Wu Tan Tui is very simplistic and boring.
A much more advanced and interesting versions can be found in the Cha Style, 7 Star mantis and the Version we do here at Ying Jow Pai.
at YJP we do a version of the Chin Woo set but it has been modified to add more Northern Basics and certain roads have been combined to make them more interesting thus leaving us with a 10 road set. Iāve added two additional roads which were inspired by the Cha Style Tan Tui as well as the 7 Star mantis Tan Tui as well.
But I must say that for beginners without alot of flexibility or agility the Chin Woo version is good.
In my opinion any style can create a āRoad Setā like tan tui but using their styles skills.
