T. T. Liang and Cheng Man Ching Demonstration

Postby origami_itto on Fri Apr 07, 2023 5:40 am

Master Liang is explaining while Cheng Man Ching is demonstrating on unknown (to me) people.

What's interesting to me is how much better the students of his students are today. He should be making people fall with a touch. ;}

maybe because that wasn't the point of the demo

A demonstration at Springfield College MA.
The Professor demonstrating grab escapes, slipping punches, sticky hands, rooting, neutralizing, and Fa-Jing.

Master Liang in the role of M.C. and translator.

Funny. The point remains, he never demonstrated the skills that Huang, Ben Lo, and their students are banking on..

There was a lot of stuff CMC never showed outside of a certain circle
Remember cameras were rare no video just super 8
On top of that I never would have taken time off training to film
I would not have known how to ask to film my teachers
Even films I was given that I lost in a house fire have not surfaced even though there were numerous copies
As for filming street confrontations only todays youth is silly enough to record things that could become evidence of assault
Time spent with real teachers shows their character ability and every now and then reveals a story of their teachers
I always think someone with too much film was more interested in recording their journey than looking deep into the training
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form

As wayne, noted even if there are films of things...
for most understanding they'er private, wouldn't post them...why would they

Lots of info "written" about his skill ...one would think that would be enough... ;D


When the Professor taught pushing hands, he said that when you touch people,
in one second it should be like a clock-tick, you touch me; tock,you're out. You learn this from
pushing hands (tuishou).

My teacher posted the Kali Illustrisimo backyard sessions I gave him
They were filmed for my student Rob
My teacher thought they were too valuable to die in a vault somewhere
When they were posted there was great debate about the posting but not by any of his main students
Recently Yuli Romeo posted some great KI stuff
The first comment was please take this down it is too valuable
I am still weighting for the films Yui Kwong sent me to come up
I also lost those in a fire
So if you have good stuff please post it
It is like training if you don’t who will
