Gung-fu Controlling Moves #3 43 min

Third in the series, this DVD is full of action sequences illustrating controlling power over a foe. This and each future instructional DVD in this series will concentrate upon an aspect of control previously touched upon or not yet even mentioned in earlier controlling Moves DVDs.

This advanced training lesson includes the ?Distance Factor? in combat. A subject not previously discussed, although it has been repeatedly shown without comment.

Historically, what would become known as the Green Dragon Society or the Ch?ing Pang, was utilized by the Ming Dynasty as paid bodyguards to the royal family. They were the Secret Society of the Ming and constantly sent as spies, infiltrators, mercenaries, military commanders or advisors and assassins. The Mantiss and Snake Style were especially skilled as assassins. All members of the Society held rank in both the Ch?ing Pang and the military.

After the Manchu takeover in the Tsing Dynasty the Greens were out of work and persecuted. From then on the organization worked against the hated Manchu foreigners. The Green Dragon went deep underground and became more even than a Secret Society, they became an Invisible non-existent Power that was feared far and wide even to the very throne. Something that had no substance, yet killed.

Some Green Dragon Society members worked in those hard times as mercenaries or caravan guards traveling along the ancient Silk Road. Over vast distances, in strange lands, they often learned other martial arts. These Wandering Monks eventually returned to the secret meeting places and halls with knowledge obtained over years or decades of arduous travel filled with hardships and danger.
