5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! If this is the 'basic' training..., November 10, 2003

By A Customer

Kung Fu means 'Time / Energy'. Literally, something which takes time and energy to achieve.

In this video, Dr. Yang teaches the necessary body conditioning for Shaolin Kung Fu, starting with stretching for the entire body, both standing and sitting. Some of it is very intense, difficult stuff which needs to be patiently trained for 6 months.

During the fundamental stances Master Yang explains some of the applications, and really corrects the posture of his students demonstrating. He teaches with a great sense of humor, with a very humble manner, but offers so much information for each technique.

The Punches are shown in a classroom situation, with corrections and applications, and are also shown by students hitting a heavy bag. There is a great variety of techniques, which give an excellent foundation for further study.
Very fun and serious video!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Video, September 28, 2004

Yap, as the other reviewer said - it will take a little bit of time to master even this basic video as some exercises are challenging, especially if you're new to this. It will provide months of entertainment and then you'll emerge as a new person able to do what might have seemed almost impossible when you began.
