Yuen Sao Pattern
Two kung fu brothers, from the other side of planet Earth meet and promote the system together.

Soc Sao or Shock Pulling Hand
Chow Gar Tong Long has many hand techniques, called San Saos. One of them is called Soc Sao which translates to Shock Pulling Hand. One of the videos we made together with Arthur (EvoBasics) is about this technique. It was fun to film it! 😊 In this short video I explaining how it looks and what application
Humbled By The System
This system always humbles me, every time when I train. Especially when I am here in Hong Kong, like now and have the possibility to train every day with the Grandmaster. The training, the practice always reminds me, how deep this system is, how much I can still develop myself, my power, my understanding. No matter how long I am practicing or how old I am.
Hong Kong 2023
In this video series Zoltán gives a glimpse into his journey to Hong Kong.
A modern yet very traditional city, a mixture of cultures, new and ancient, nature and artificial. Going to Hong Kong is always exciting, there are many things to discover.
The main goal however is to meet Sifu Ip Chee Keung, train with him, absorb his teachings, his approach, attitude. It is great opportunity to be able to practice with the Gatekeeper Grandmaster, the best of the best, who’s understanding of this system is unique.
We wish everyone to have this experience at least once in a lifetime.

Fut Sao – Buddhist Hand or testing your internal
This form is especially good for testing yourself, gaining feedback about the small internal actions and also refining your power (if you have it).
At the beginning you will be overwhelmed by the movements but later you will enjoy plunging into the depths of the matter. Fut Sao also improves the stamina of your internal power.

Saam Bo Pai Kiu – Three Steps Slicing Bridge
Saam Bo Pai Kiu anticipates other forms which are usually taught later (that’s why they are mistakenly believed to be higher level or advanced forms). The naming technique can be practiced three ways out of which two are generally used in the form. Since these two ways depend on the direction of the Pai Kiu, the form can be executed in two (slightly) different ways too.
Saam Gin Yiu Kiu – Shake Off The Bridge
Saam Gin Yiu Kiu form (sometimes referred to as second form) is usually taught after the Saam Bo Gin (which is a brilliantly decoded excerpt of the whole system).

The Secret of Practising Drills
We do practice drills. However, we see them differently from how other practitioners do. Drills are commonly considered as of short, prearranged fighting scenes. According to this belief when you are practicing two-man drills you are preparing yourself for different fighting situations. We don’t think that. Why? Because fight is
Conditioning
It is a common belief that in Chow Gar Tong Long the iron shirt or golden bell is developed by practicing conditioning exercises. Sifu Bálint in this video reveals the real way of conditioning and also point out the difference between the external and internal approach.

Power Generation- Connectivity
With this concept we would like to emphasise two features of Tung Kong Chow Gar (and real internal kung-fu in general).First, we state that what makes a real kung-fu system is the way how it makes its practitioner strong. It also means that not the techniques make a system but
How to identify a real, traditional kung fu system?
„A system is a group of interacting or interrelated elements that act according to a set of rules to form a unified whole” What is a TRADITION by definition? According to Encyclopaedia Britannica „way of thinking, behaving, or doing something that has been used by the people in a particular group, family, society, etc.,
Why it is not possible to learn kung-fu online?
Lord Kelvin, one of the greatest scientists of all time once made a bold statement “heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible” He was a well respected scientist, and obviously he was wrong! You might say that is different. It is! Is it? Is it really impossible to learn kung fu online?
How to find the best martial art for you?
When I was a kid, I wanted to learn martial arts. As many others. Being a Hungarian kid during the communist dictatorship in Romania wasn’t always a Disney dream, we had let’s say some difficulties there… That was one of the reasons why I wanted to learn martial arts in
Insight videos

Is the Power in Chow Gar Internal or External?
Sifu Bálint talks about the different types ad levels of power developed in Chow Gar Tong Long.
Stable Stance
The stable and firm stance is one of the most important skills in our kungfu. The source of our special power is the stance. We liken the body to a tree where the flexible power of the branches (the bridges) and the stability of the trunk (the torso) depend on how strongly the roots hold the tree.

Finger Power (Jee Lik)
The method of training of Chow Gar aims at strengthening the whole body and the basic exercises develop all parts of the body at once. However, in order to understand how the power is built up and make the power training more effective we also practice special exercises which concentrate
The Way of the Power
None of us have the chance to discover the true ways of martial arts back in those times when such skills served the meaning of survival in life-and-death situations. That makes harder to make statements which claim to picture the so called real kung-fu. In its original context kung-fu served as a supportive leverage to spiritual practice and also as a source of the aforementioned skills either on the battlefield or in the normal course of life that oftentimes was cruel and merciless.
