HOW TO USE THE KUNG FU MARTIAL ARTS FIGHTING FAN | MATT PASQUINILLI

got a new weapon for you this week one I have never demonstrated here before in fact I didn't even realize I had any left but I was cleaning a stockroom and there it was kung-fu fan this is one of those fun weapons it can be very practical you can show off with a little bit if you go to competitions you can work it into a creative form and it's super simple when it's closed you'll leave a little bit at the end so you can gouge with it this part slices or strikes like you would with a collie stick or Korean short stick of course you can jab with it and hit somebody on the head with it but it's when you open it but that little pop that get somebody's attention then you use it to protect your arm when you're blocking and then in the movies some of them have little knives I've never seen one in person but you're gonna add a little slicing motion and it's very dynamic because it adds an extra dimension to your body it's unusual most people I've never seen it used as a weapon unless they watched a lot of kung fu movies like I did and of course the best part you can cool yourself down you have one I want to show you real quick how to open it make that little pop and how to close it and take that first finger and your thumb and it's gonna go on the first and second spine now you could go to the first spine but I feel like you have a lot more control here from here to practice you start by just opening your hand get your fingers out of the way and it opens all the way completely now to close it you turn your hand palm up and it snaps back in open but this is just how you warm them up open-close open-close now the pop comes from two things the first thing is that little snap in the wrist in little means little smaller the motion of the quicker it is the louder the pop the second part you can see because my hand is changing color is that I'm squeezing I'm squeezing my fingers into the palm it's coming to an abrupt stop it makes that snapping noise so practice is opening closing opening closing start to add a little pop a little flick of the wrist [Music] sorry to go a little quicker and then add the squeeze bring it to a complete stop if you have one of these already now you know how to use it if you didn't already if not you see one in a magazine or online and you want to order once there so super simple one last thing I make up a lot of my own forms and I firmly believe that that's gonna help you understand your martial arts training a lot better notice I didn't say everything I'm not making all of it up I learned what other people taught me first and then I come up with my own I still practice both you can practice both too this is one of those weapons you can go learn the wu-tang style you can learn the chin style and that's great after you've learned those basic styles start to mess with it a little bit and make up your own your understanding and your ability will grow I'll see you in the next video [Music]
