What is Magic Hands?
The 'MAGIC HANDS of KanKiFu'" is the culmination of over 63 years of learning and teaching by Univ. Prof em. Dr. Keith Kernspecht (Sports & Pedagogy), holding a 10th-degree black belt in WingTsun, an 8th Dan in Kyokushin Allround Fighting, a 6th Dan in Kyokushin Karate, and an 8th Teacher's Degree in the inner Chinese style Yi Lik Kuen. Prof. Kernspecht is renowned as the "Father of WingTsun Kung Fu in Europe."
In Magic Hands, more than half of the content is derived from WT (WingTsun), as well as general Wing Chun, with a particular focus on "Four Corners" or "Boxing WingTsun." Additionally, it incorporates elements from over 10 so-called inner martial arts styles and experiences from wrestling, Kyokushin full-contact karate, and more.
The movement in Magic Hands is characterized by its fluid and curvilinear nature, in contrast to the linear style of traditional Wing Chun in Hong Kong; it resembles that from mainland China.
Instruction begins in close proximity, much like CLINCHING in boxing, and starts from the point of contact. The concept of "STICKING" extends beyond the typical sticking found in Wing Chun ChiSao.
The initial programs focus on REAL sticking, and only later do we develop the skills acquired through this tactile practice to work at DISTANCE, allowing us to initiate without prior movement.
"Magic Hands" is rooted in experienced combat logic, biomechanics, and the energy principles of "inner" methods. It dispenses with the need to learn and memorize fixed movement sequences (forms).
FUNCTION and the LOCATION OF TOUCH determine the situationally required movement, which does not conform to any particular external style. Magic Hands is exceptionally suited for CLOSE COMBAT and serves as a COMPLEMENT for boxers, grapplers, Aikido practitioners, Karate practitioners, Tai Chi, and Chi Gung practitioners.
