Karate Nerd in China (Ep. 2)

By Jesse Enkamp on

Is White Crane kung fu the ancestor of Okinawa Karate? The truth is revealed when Jesse Enkamp (The Karate Nerd) explores Karate's evolution - from China to Japan and beyond. In this episode Jesse travels to Yong Chun village, the birthplace of White Crane, and learns Sanzhan from master Zheng Qing Yong. This is the original Chinese form of Sanchin - one of the most important kata in traditional Karate styles like Goju-ryu and Uechi-ryu. The other masters of this episode are Su Ying Han, a "soft crane" expert of joint locks and Pan Qiong Qi, headmaster of Weng Gong Ci - the oldest White Crane school in Yongchun (established 1928). Next stop is South Shaolin temple in Quanzhou! Visit http://www.karatebyjesse.com to learn more. #KNIC
