Shaolin Kung Fu Cane Weapon of Self Defense DVD Ted Mancuso Kwong Wing Lam staff
In this presentation Ted Mancuso, our resident Kung Fu instructor, utilizes a traditional Shaolin cane set taught to him by one of his teachers, Kwong Wing Lam, to explore the very nature of weapons work. Introductory remarks bring new points to light about the usefulness of weapons work especially, with simple, easily available instruments.
Among the topics covered, Mr. Mancuso discusses and demonstrates:
Basic strikes and their applicability to all weapons
Grips and the "flexible hand" concept
The traditional Northern Shaolin Boxing Cane form
In-depth stepwise breakdowns of each section of this fast and mobile form
Examples of applications, including running commentary explaining more than just the movements but the reasoning behind cane defenses.
