LOL “doesn’t believe in weight training.”

I have always wondered for those who does not believe in weight training. What if someone challenges you in “arm wrestling” contest? Do you refuse the challenge? If you accept the challenge then will your combat skill be able to help you?

I don’t want to start a polemic, but there are kung fu methodologies that do not use weight training, as we know it, for strength and power building. They will instead use development forms and other resistance training for the same purpose.
Some of these methodologies are not well known, others are not discussed with “outsiders”, hence there is a lot of misunderstandings about them.

I don’t do much weight training. A little kettlebell work, but mostly I work my core in class by picking people up and throwing them.

I don’t eat much seafood. A little bit fish, but mostly I eat shrimp, lobster, and king crab legs.
the guy in the video is another wu-shu guy who is trying to teach what he has never been trained in-fighting.
Sorry to say, sometimes people will garner alot of students simply because he plays the Asian card. Worse still, in my area, there’s a guy who isn’t even Asian, he’s Cuban, but has sort of Asian features, so he grows a Fu Manchu and calls himself Sifu Chang.
He teaches wu-shu and calls it Choy Li Fut.
He has many students.
..well, up until he was busted for having a brothel in his school,
but that’s another story..

yes. weight lifting, holding and manuever training are all important.
tied weights to your forearm, or ankle or rings
when you are stronger, add more lead or metal rings
weight related training is not limited to lifting only.

salmon or fish is better. they have good cholesterol from fish oil.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE WEIGHT LIFTING 40-120 POUNDS from my home province
Youknowwho, there is a difference between muscle strength and tendon and strength, you dont have to lift weights to become stronger and win arm wrestlign contests.
i know a old timeer who is a shoemaker, he did not have big muslces at all, but for holding shoes and cutting the thick leather soles for so many year he could break your hand whiule givin you a handshake. its all about the core or tendon strength rather than big bicepts
Greetings,

salmon or fish? LOL
yes, Salmon is highest in omega-3 fatty acids. Other cold water fatty fish are great sources of this as well.
shellfish also are high in protien, sterols, zinc,copper and iron.

wow, we see different things. I saw a kid trying to do a form that was way beyond his capabilities. He needs to learn the basics before learning the form. That attempted tornado kick was awful. He should learn the kick properly first, before even starting the form. With this kind of training, he will only get worse.
I did and enjoyed it bawang, the speaking was a little to fast for me to completly undestand it, but this is my point you can be very strong and not look like lou ferigno.. LOL OK showing my age here, but anyways its about core strength as bawang’s video showed us, those guys throw those blocks like thier styrofoam and they did have big muslces actually there arms very pretty thin. but let one of them grab you
what man? those people were HUGE. they just dont have muscle definition because they dont body build.
i think you mean these people have small biceps. big bicep is fake muscle it doesnt do anything. if u wanna look small just dont do bicep curls.
more REAL stone locks not thoese tiny shoebox twirling PUSIES

Hi TenTigers,
You are absolutely correct about his foundation. I enjoyed how he threw himself into it. I will be more specific next time.

Um… no.
Force is produced by muscle fibers. Tendons are what connects muscle to bone. While you can make tendons stronger as part of a muscle strengthening program, they have nothing to do with actual force production.
There is no such thing as tendon strength, other than the ability to make them able to be more resistant to tearing.
