Fiercest Tiger,
I’m really interested in YKM’s staff/staff or chongs/jongs - I figure staff seems pretty unique in each style!
I was especially interested in what you mentioned about chongs with weapons training - Is there much in the way of chongs for weapons?
sing fu
we have a couple of chongs, sticky stick and 7 star pole that is simial to some pak mei pai schools.
The way i teach the staff is when they have finished learning a pole form i get the guys to learn to use the staff for fighting. what i mean by that is the students attck one another with a move and a student has to defend using what they know. In ykm kung fu we dont really attack the stick like some schools , we attck the hands or legs, fet what ever is closest to us. We also hit and slide down the stick to attck the hands holding the staff, this will make the guy drop his staff so we have open session on the guys centerline or other targets that may arise.
The way we hold a staff will also depends on the thinkness of the staff too!! In the seven star pole 2 man chong we hold it without wrapping the fingers around the pole, once we make contact we try and slide down to collect his fingers if he hasnt properly holding the stick it hits his fingers and hurt him. This exercise will also teach you to meet centerline or before centrline so you can attack the other guys hands!
I may try and put something together on staff for everyone with breakdowns. like 7 star pole exercise…
take care friend.

Fiercest Tiger,
Thank you for such an insightful look into YKM staff. I’d be very interested, if/when an opportunity might arise! Without giving away too much, do the YKM chongs involve strike/block sequences? And might you be able to explain a little about sticking stick?
sing fu
No probs at all, i love to share and talk about my art!
In ykm the staff forms arent flash like shaolin wushu, but very basic and to the point. Sticky stick is for learning to control and dominate the other person by using his energy in his pole.
Most strikes are blocks and visa versa!!
I will be doing alot of clips in the future on all training things of ykm. email me yaukungmun@hotmail.com and we will chat some more
