秘宗拳（小五虎拳）


七星蟷螂拳



Guys, this person has posted heaps of videos on youtube but I am very suspicious of the quality of this guy's forms.
They look fake but at the same time some looks pretty real.
Just want to share this around to see what you guys think.

This guy is in Japan and the forms that he does is not from the same origin.
Plus, the forms are very short with some of them being pretty low in quality in terms of application use.
So I'm really suspicious of the fact that he might just be making all these up and give those forms the name.

You can see his Bagua is ................

So long he enjoy it.....

Keep in mind martial art is not just art and dancing, it also has pugilistic aspects.
It is like everyone has his/her cup of tea, some like hot, cold, sweet, bitter, less, more , unhealthy, healthy, there is no restriction. All are good.

I am aware of this guy as I am Japanese and closely looking into Kungfu styles done by the Jp people.

He is running a kungfu business and apparently is famous in Jp. His master supposedly learnt these styles in Taiwan or Hongkong in 60', 70' or 80' and became famous in Jp. Kungfu was rare in Jp at that time as the information on Chinese martial arts was very limited. As far as I know, reputation of the master was not good because the majority of the movements seems to be lacking foundation and structures.

So, that is his student on the clip teaching several styles of Kungfu. His business seems to be going well regardless of the authenticity of the styles. You know, it is just demand and supply. It is fine as long as customers are happy to pay for the quality of what they get.

After all, it is Japan where most of the population has no idea of what Kungfu is like.
So, we just respect him as he is.

PS.Actually, I posted these clips at our SWU site on Facebook few months ago for discussion.
