Eagle Style Kung Fu

Eagle style kung fu was developed a long time ago by a man named Yueh Fei.

The eagle claw is formed with the index finger, the middle finger and the thumb.

The hand is used to grab the opponents pressure points and to jab the fingers into the opponents eyes and throat.

The form that I know is one of the most brutal beginner forms I have ever seen because it has neck breaks and throat tears. It has eye jabs and bone breaks. This form is called Ying Jow Na.

The eagle claw forms are not limited to the hand techniques either.
They have several different kicks and jumping kicks. It also includes side hand strikes and punched and several different bone breaking techniques.

Ying Jow Na also has a really brutal move where you block up with your left arm grab the groin of the opponent with the right eagle claw and then pull the groin off!

Yueh Fei developed the eagle claw techniques to be brutal and effective so that they could kill or injure as many people as possible.


Sin Kwang The' Fact or Bull-shido

 Sin Kwang The' Fact or Bull-shido

According to Sin Kwang The' the story goes something like this.

Su Kong Tai Djin

There was a boy who was found in the woods. The boy had a disease that made hair grow all over his body and even his face. This boy was ditched in the woods by his parents because they thought he was a demon. The disease is called hypertrichosis.

The person who found the child was a monk of the Fukien temple. He realized that the child was not a demon and brought him back to the temple. After some debate on what they should do with the boy they decided to raise him.

They named him Su Kong Tai Djin. As Su grew he learned that he could never leave the temple because when he did he would be picked on and treated poorly because of his disease.

So the masters at the temple decided that they would each teach Su their style of kung fu. Su was to become the first person in history to learn the entire Shao-Lin martial arts system.

There is a story about how he walked into a room at one point and when the 12 masters bowed to him he took out a knife and threw it into the rafters. An assassin fell from the rafters. According to Sin Kwang The' Su had heard 13 people in the room breathing but there were only 12 masters there!

After learning the entirety of the Shao-Lin martial arts systems Su decided that he would teach a boy by the name of Ie Chang Ming.

Ie Chang Ming

Ie Chang Ming learned the entire art from Su. After he had gone through all of the training he decided to go on a little walk. He found himself in some trouble however because he had accidentally walked onto an abandoned military base. He was surrounded by men who decided that he needed to die.

Unfortunately for those men they had run across the wrong man. Ie killed them in self defense but he realized that he needed to flee China if he was going to avoid going to prison.

Ie Chang Ming Goes to Indonesia

Ie found himself in Indonesia and he realized that he was the only one left who could pass on the Shao-Lin art. At the time however it was illegal to teach the Chinese martial arts in Indonesia. Ie Chang Ming decided that he needed to disguise the Chinese art as a Japanese art if he was going to teach it.

To this day at the Shao-Lin centers and in the Shao-Lin-do schools there is some Japanese influence.

Enter Sin Kwang The'

Sin The' started doing Kung Fu in Bandung Indonesia when he was a young boy. Upon meeting Grandmaster Ie for the first time Ie dumped hot coffee into Sin's lap. Then he quickly grabbed him and looked into his eyes to see if Sin  The' had become angry about it. Seeing nothing but surprise in the young boys eyes Ie thought he might just have the next Grandmaster of the Shao-Lin art there in front of him.

After several more tests Ie finally chose Sin The' as the next Shao-Lin grandmaster. Then came many years of brutal training. Which I am not going to get into here.

Some people think that Grandmaster Sin Kwang The' made this whole story up. Some claim that he made up the entire art that he teaches. that claim to me is ridiculous because the art he teaches is massive and it is hard to learn it let alone make it up in one life time.

The thought that he learned it all from books is also ridiculous because if you have ever been to a book store and looked through the martial arts section you would know that these sections are small. Let's assume that he could have learned all of it from books and he made some of it up. That would make him a freaking genius.

So I don't know if the story he tells is true or not but one things is for sure if it's not then he definitely learned what he knows somewhere. I have studied at one of his schools for ever 20 years and there seems to be no end to the awesome forms he teaches.

I am sure there are going to be some jack asses who come on to this post and say he is a fraud because they read it on the internet. You may have heard he is a fraud on the internet and that doesn't make it true. At least I have heard something about him on the net can't say the same about you.
