[Jerry Battle]

Old video of me when I was still slim back in the 90's performing Five Animal Fist set. Hope y'all enjoy.

Good job of presenting the Tang Fong 5-Animals Jerry. Ahhh the 90's, I remember being thinner also.....

[Jerry Battle]

Thank you SifuYui,

Looking at the old me puts me in my happy place.

[SifuYui]

Dammit, you've inspired me to put this clip up. I've always been shy about doing this but what the heck, what doesn't kill you will only make you............stranger....

Excellent!

Ho gung fu. I remember witnessing you winning with this form on a few occasions. You're still going strong.

[SifuYui]

Always a gentleman Jerry, thank you. As you may have noticed, A LOT less hair; good thing I'm not Samson

[Jerry Battle]

lol.

I don't know if you remember, but I kept my head bald for about nine years, now the hair is long. I hope you don't mind trading places.

You're the true gentleman my brotha.

Both of your performances are amazing to say the least. I too am in the Tang Fong lineage and you two are an inspiration to say the least.

[SifuYui]

Thanks Crazejustice888. Jerry is one of the old guards of Tang Fong Hung Ga (1st generation in the USA with Cheung Shu Pui), whereas I'm one of the last disciples of my Sifu, Frank Yee. So I'm a newbie compared to him.

Hey Jerry, it's all fuzz up there. Even a Marine wouldn't want it

[Jerry Battle]

crazedjustice888,

Thank you very much sir.

Yui, there's nothing wrong with a little fuzz. I remember as a young man trying to impress the girls with the fuzz growing over my lip. I was the man...not.

BTW, I have some vintage stuff from Hong Kong circa 1968 Ho Lap Tin school. I just want to make sure it's okay to share. Then I have some more stuff from the 90's. Hopefully I can post them sometime soon.

excellent! thank you guys for sharing!

Sorry everyone, I'm still learning how to post clips onto and from YouTube. Here's the clip again and I added another demo I did at another banquet (seems like I'm always performing for food ). On the second clip I really had very limited space to perform on and I apologize for the chatter before and after - I still haven't learned how to edit these clips...

Hey Jerry, that'll be great if you could post more vintage videos up. It's always good to see how things were and how it evolves.

PM, Thank you very much.

Yui, I'm looking forward to posting a video of Gau Ji Lin Waan Kuen (Gau Duk Kuen). My sihing is the performer. There's one of my sifu doing saam jeet kwan and some of his gung fu brothers doing various sets such as Gee Mo Suerng Do, Fuk Fu Kuen and a few two man sets. I'm pretty sure sifu doesn't want me to post the Iron Wire set, but I'll ask anyway.

Jerry

[SifuYui]

Jerry,

I understand where your sifu is coming from because my sifu felt the same way. I've only posted short clips of Iron Wire (almost always just the beginning because it looks like Gung Ji), never the whole set. I also mix it up with parts of FHSYK or 5 Animals - the Iron Wire part always amps me up to do the rest of the form. I do this because it's been drilled into my head that it's a precious training form and not to given out likely so I adhere to that, just as you probably have.

BTW, here's a clip of one of my students performing Gau Duk Kuen (9 Special Fist) a couple of years ago.
