The Continuous Fist for Basic Southern Shaolin Kung Fu Fighting Style

Video Transcript

" Hi! My name is Julio Anta from Anta’s Fitness & Self Defense in Miami, Florida. My website is www.antakungfu.com. We are doing southern Kung Fu. The next thing I want to show you is a little bit more of the continuous fist. This we do in a form. I am going to be in my horse stance for instructional and training purposes only. While I train my hands, I am working on building strong legs. First, I am going to punch, then I am going to circle claw and back fist. So it is going to look something like this…and in. See the way it comes in, we never leave our attacks out, we circle the attack. What happens is I punch, stand up so you can see it good, I punch, the person blocks. I bring it to my waist in a circular fluid motion flowing, claw his eyes, for some reason he was able to block, and he hits it and I take him in the nose. If I can hit him in all three, it is great, it is soft yet powerful, you do not press your punch, put power in to the moment of impact, it is the circular motion of the strike and how fast it strikes vital points, you can go stomach, eyes and nose."
