George Xu on The Ball

[YIQUANONE]

Not bad George, good showing, you need to work more on your aim!, but you have good connection skills.

This is one of the best demos of interal on you tube I have seen.

Kudos George

Nice explanation and demonstrated well. Thanks

That's an interesting question. The Hui were known for a unique style of xingyi which I learned from George Xu. However, this particular idea of the ball should be common to all internal martial arts. What is rare is having it explained so clearly. I hope it improves martial arts training everywhere.

Excellent demonstration! Great skills. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Macmus, thanks for the comment.

Some people will disregard what I say because I don't look like Vin Diesel. But Vin doesn't move like me. I'm not holding my shoulders with tension nor am I thrusting with my hips. I'm just hanging loose.

There is no separation between posture and breath. It may not look "good" but it is free.

Hey Scott - you might want to work on your standing posture - from 0.15 through to 1.10 you thrust your hips forward while holding your shoulders back with tension.
