Pak Hok Pai Kung Fu - Gum Gong Training - 金剛拳

This video shows lines 1 to 4 of "Gum Gong Kuen" from Tibetan White Crane Kung Fu (Pak Hok Pai). The video was taken during my class and shows the applications behind some of the movements as I teach them.

Gum Gong Kuen is an advanced set in our system. It is also known as "Buddha's heavenly warrior" or "diamond fist". It is called diamond in reference to the heavens, or stars as diamonds in the sky (like the big dipper). Sometimes it is referred "Heaven shine boxing". More practically I call it a Charging Fist set because the motions are meant to be performed fast with some lines charging ahead to the opponent. The form is great for building power thru speed and agility plus it is long and good to train stamina. The form also has many great fighting applications. This video shows a few applications to hopefully gain interest in others learning this great system.
