White Ape Tong Bei. Applications Beginning

The progression in this style of Tong Bei is very logical. First conditioning, then partner forms, then direct applications. This video is based on two training devices: a short bench with a padded bag and a pole wrapped with an animal skin like a huge scratching post. The entire video shows training in the Tong Bei striking patterns against these items. Demonstrated here by demonstrated by Zhang Gui Zeng. One of the numerous styles in the TongBei or Through-the-Back family of Kung Fu. This branch is known as White Ape, one of Tong Bei’s earliest aliases. Though the demonstrator is old, many of these traditional movements are examples of TongBei, a famous fist. When he was small Zhang Gui Zeng studied from Tong Bei master, Wang Yu Kun, 王玉昆. Later he studied under Wang Yong Feng, 王永风. At present Mr. Zhang is a high offficial in a number of Wushu organizations including those devoted to Tong Bei Quan. #chinesemartialarts #kungfu #wushu
