There are many different kinds of kung fu. If you are a martial arts enthusiast, chances are you have a favorite kind. If you are new to martial arts, and are looking to learn it but are unsure of what type to learn, Monkey kung fu is an interesting choice.
The Origins of Monkey Kung Fu
This type of kung fu emulates the movements of apes and monkeys, hence its name. Within Monkey kung fu, there are several different categories. For example Tai Shing Pek Kwar, is a kind of Monkey kung fu that was developed by Kau Sze some time during the Qing Dynasty. There are other styles of Monkey kung fu that are thought to have been in use as early as the Song Dynasty.
Monkey Kung Fu Movements
Monkey kung fu is considered to be the best kind of Shaolin kung fu to use, because it has excellent defense techniques. During training, the primary weapon that is used is a staff. The Monkey kung fu method uses many erratic movements to confuse opponents, a particularly popular one of which to watch is the Drunken Monkey, which looks exactly like its name.
Drunken Monkey kung fu uses a lot of groin, eye, and throat strikes. It also uses different kinds of falling techniques. This type of kung fu is meant to give a defenseless appearance to opponents, but then to attack using off-balance defense techniques.
Lost Monkey kung fu is another kind of kung fu in which the idea is to look defenseless. The movements are supposed to feign being lost, and then to retaliate when the opponent least expects it.
Crafty Monkey kung fu is based upon deceptive moves. By feigning scared movements, it is intended to lure the opponent into a false state of security, and when this has been accomplished, it is time to attack.
Tall or Standing Monkey kung fu works best for tall people. It is a long-range style that is meant to attack opponents at their pressure points.
These are but a few of the several different types of Monkey kung fu that you can learn. Do some research on the internet and decide which type of kung fu you would like to learn, and then visit a local martial arts studio to find out if they teach it. If you are looking to learn a kind of kung fu that is both fun to watch and learn, then Monkey kung fu is an excellent choice.
