Subtle wind Kung fu Founder USA, Hello

I,m founder 36years old I live in USA

any questions feel free to ask

 

What makes your style different from others and what sort of background did you draw on to found it?

 

a little about subtle wind kung fu

If I had to put it in a category it would be more related to southern styles of kung fu , such as Jook lum,chow gar, Yun mun kun,Bak mei,wing chun
and many more. it,s not any of those styles but may some times have slight similarties

one thing that makes my system a little different is the standard punch is the phoenix eye fist favored over the flat fist type strikes

I also have unique theorys ,philosophys , and so on my style only uses low kicks and thats usually rare.

thank you for asking

 

You wouldn't happen to have any videos of your style in action would you?

 

Videos

I,m in the process of getting a good video camera and putting some videos
together. I ,m still trying to decide what i want to do with my system.

I have considered making an online school

 

welcome to MAP!
Good Luck

 

Hi,subtlewind.Welcome to MAP.

From your advertisement--- " this is a new Kung Fu system Influenzed by Sourthern Kung Fu styles such as ,wing chun,Bak mei, Chow gar, Jook Lum and several other plus alot of original Material created in the Usa. "

You state your system is medium to close range system which naturally I'd expect with those systems' influences. What components/influences of these individual systems are present?

What types of things comprise the USA material?



I must ask about this---

" Founder Walton Clint Hopkins has deciede to teach Soley Online to acess many people. To Join You must email walton clint Hopkins at _______To get an address To send a Gift donation of $35.00 to join and this cover the first Rank Certificate and Yellow sash, after you sttudy the orange sash material you will send another Gift Donation of $35.00 for the Certificate and Sash/belt. There is no monthly charge there is nothing for sale and this is not a buisiness . "


Seems like a fee,and from your description it seems as if there may be a fee for each level. Calling it a "gift donation" is no different than when a band plays for a cause of some kind and there's a certain amount of dollars required as a "donation" to get in. It's the price of admission,a fee. You may charge no monthly fee,but you're taking in money.As you say it's not a business do you have non-profit status?



This--

" . You will be learnind a wealth of knowledge rapid fire pressure point punches at higher belts and pressure point strikes...."

Doesn't point training require hands on instruction and experimentation? It's not something which can be learned or practiced in isolation,it needs two people.



As you've founded a new system it is inevitable that you're going to be asked your background so it might as well be me who asks-

What systems have you studied,for how long and with whom?


Thanks.

 

This was posted while I was writing my post.

It appears from the ad I quoted from you have already started your online school.


Your phoenix eye fist,from Chu Gar? Or Chow Gar,Tsoi Gar etc various spellings.

 

The info you found was my first attempt at starting an online school. I been giving it much thought . I started to do it then i had some set backs. now i,m strongly considering going forward with the school again. with your other question as to the American material . Mainly has to do with The American Mindset as opossed to an Asian Mind set.
and some of my ideas theorys etc is also a reflection of that thought.

here is some information on my system a while back maybe this will give you an idea of it. like alot of kung fu there is the mystique of secrets . i have adopted this i have some ideas i will only teach to advanced students. This info is just a small idea of subtle wind not the whole picture

What is Subtle Wind kung fu


Subtle Wind Kung fu was founded in 2005 in Southeast Texas . If you try to catogorize this sytem based on the system structure of Northern chinese kung fu styles and southern kung fu styles it would probably be much closer related to a southern kung fu style with hints and subtle flavors of Northern . Subtle wind is a centerline based system with new USA original made ideas without sacrficing time honored fighting knowledge. Subtle wind is a mix of medium to short power system or you could say medium range power to some times inch power range system composed of explosive viloent simetanious attack and block strikes.the inch power range is taught at more advanced levels and requires longer time to master. The phoenix eye fist is the most common strike in my system although it is one of many used such as,double phoenix eye,lepoard,snake like finger strikes,lion paw, palm strikes,tiger strikes just to name a few. In Subtle wind you do not kick above the waist
kicks are a secondary tool to be used as a back up attack or defense. there are five base foundation kicks. subtle wind uses one predominant stance for walking and retreating from an oppoent. There is also several walking stance variations to deal with different situations.all strikes are aimed at pressure points which result in varying outcomes from the strike depending on how powerful your strike was,how accurate your strike was and how you struck the pressure point.There are short to medium forms in the system forms are very important for not only training but to sucessfully transmit the style to another person.There are sets used for training. There are also drills used to practice to learn how to adapt to a situation and how you could react. there is an arm training excercise that may appear like sticky hands from wing chun. but is completely different and unique to subtle wind as far as I know.there are a handful of pure selfdefense movements such as how to get out of a choke or head lock etc.there are

 

So how long have you been doing kung fu?

 

I got interested in Kung fu at probably five I started to search out a school i wanted to devote my life to at fourteen.this search lasted over 10 years , overall I been doing kung fu over twenty years.

 

How can you effectivly teach a martial art via the internet?

 

Oooh! Burn!!!!

 

So if my math is correct you founded your system (2005) after studying for +/- 13 years? Not implying you ceased outside studies after founding your system.

So you've been developing it over this period,I would figure.Have you taught anyone in person during these years?

Why do you prefer to teach online rather than hands on? Or do you envision it as something for experienced people? Just thinking about beginners, it's pretty rough for MA "virgins" to get things without immediate feedback/corrections on basic errors.


I'd still like to know what,how long,and with whom you've studied. You mention some interesting systems.Well,interesting to me anyway.

 

What systems have you studied? For fow long? With which teacher? What rank? You see Kung Fu is very lineage oriented.

 

I hadn't realised you were so cheap. :Angel:
