Henry Sue Circular Tong Long

Throwback Thursday folks and we're exploring the "Ultimate fighting weapon'. Grandmaster Henry Sue explains how to become the ultimate fighter by combining all five essential elements of any martial art- Yeng (Shape), Yi (Meaning), Hei (Breath), Sun (Concentration) and Gung (Power).

"Then see you later". A slow motion glimpse into the circular strikes of Grandmaster Henry Sue's art, Yuen Mo Pai or Circular Tong Long. This art produces circular, lightening fast and deadly blows with one inch punch energy that end an opponent quickly and efficiently.

Throwback Thursday this week folks finds us with 9th degree Grandmaster Henry Sue demonstrating how to attack with small movements. His art, Yuen Mo Pai, uses one inch punch energy to devastate an opponent and it is the circular movements derived from tai chi that deliver a never ending stream of blows to the neck, head, chest and abdomen. Until you have actually felt the force of these blows, iit is difficult to explain just how powerful they can be and nothing is out of bounds in this art. As Grandmaster Sue always says; "If you haven't feinted your opponent on the first strike, you'e doing it wrong".

The best defence is an attack. Grandmaster Sue demonstrates a gau choi strike to the leg followed by an attack to the head finishing with a take down and deadly blow to the back of the head.

Throwing back yet another Thursday folks. Along with other techniques, Grandmaster Henry Sue's art Yuen Mo Pai incorporates the circular movements of Tai Chi. These circular movements deliver strikes continuously in a circular fashion with no time wasted bringing the arm in and out as is done in boxing or many other martial arts. Here we find him demonstrating the application behind the Tai Chi Movement of Ye Ma Fen Zong or "Part The Wild Horses Mane". While Ta Chi is practised by many around the world as just a meditative exercise, let's not forget that its original application was a martial art.

Throwing back another Thursday folks and this time we find Grandmaster Sue on the attack. Using chum energy (downwards sinking energy) to begin the attack, his cobra like speed and lightening reflexes have afforded him several deadly strikes before his opponent has even had time to react.

You don't need two hands. It's as simple (and if you know the technical aspects behind this art) as difficult as 1,2,3. Grandmaster Henry Sue demonstrates the circular movement of his continuous hits with just one hand.

Throwback Thursday rolls around again to find Grandmaster Henry Sue teaching the first staff form. This is what it looks like when a weapon becomes an extension of your body.

"As soon as you make a move, I follow you." Grandmaster Henry Sue demonstrates the concept of borrowed energy. The slightest move from your opponent gives you the opportunity to borrow their energy and continue the circle of strikes.

Advance. attack and never retreat. Grandmaster Sue demonstrates perfectly the essence of his art, Yuen Mo Pai. Advance into the opponents space and destroy with continuing and lightening fast circular strikes comprising of one inch punch energy. The energy and power of this art truly needs to be felt to be believed.
