Cho Chiao Kung Fu?

First thing first,actually there really is a CMA known as cho chiao(actually it should be chuo jiao or chuo chiao),it is a Northern style which utilizes the parts of the feet to kick~~~

Despite that this guy just sucks ass. First or all,he is using the wrong Chinese character for 'cho'(chuo). Also,though it is a Northern kicking style it is never meant to be that flashy, that means no mid-air cartwheel!!! The signature movement of chuo jiao,motion of hooking with the leg,is also missing~~~

And MT in chuo jiao?

"And MT in chuo jiao?"

MT doesn't hold the patent on that move.

yeah but liu it might just be that the master enjoyed doing gymnastics and added it to his schools curriculum.

Considered that b4,and i think gymnastics is an excellent form of physical conditioning.
Problem is,he got the Chinese character wrong,moreover doesnt look like chuo jiao in all the pics~~~

What are the question marks for?

i actually do cho chiao chaun fa and to begin with it is a tibetan style of kung fu not chinese that may explain the discrepancy with the character. similarly we say shifu instead of the chinese sifu. it is a very well rounded style incorporating grapling, elbow and knee stikes as well as 36 different types of kicks, punches, knife hand strikes, 8 animal forms, weapons and the list goes on. i can personally vouch for the style. i have done Taekwondo, taichi, bagua, western boxing, karate and kenjutsu and i can say i never enjoyed any of them as much as i do cho chiao kung fu. and i have to say that shifu austen is the most amazing man i have ever had the pleasure to meet. and yes he has had 538 tournament fights not tournaments. and they were temple tournaments in tibet.
