He is one of the best yes, i had the pleasure of meeting him in Beijing together with Master Jennifer Lee, we spent a great day together and we were invited to his class and see some of his great great abilities. I remember one foreign student saying:" When you doing serious Pushhands with him and you touch his chest, its like putting your hand into a gearbox."
His push hands is very fluid and circular it reminds me more of yang style push hands. Had I not known he was a preeminent Chen master I would have guessed him to be doing Yang style. His fajing appears to involve more of a weight transfer from the back leg then it does the classic spiral waist rotation of the Chen style. This is especially apparent in the first fajing in the video of him doing a shoulder stroke.
this is amazing and rare footage of taijiquan master giving an incredible demonstration of very controlled and powerful fajin and neutralization in push hands.
I like his style of working with his students. No ego. He works with the guy and doesn't bust him up and bend the elbow right back like I've seen in other videos. It makes the pushing hands interesting and fun, and that's how you learn to relax.
As I thought, chin, you have no evidence to back up your claims. You dodged all questions and showed you know nothing of what you are talking about and I will not go down to your pre-school name calling level. ANY MORE TROLLING BY YOU WILL BE COMPLETELY IGNORED!
Im too lazy to explain/proof something to assholes who cant search it here on their own and have to resort to defending fat old men who have no value in martial arts.

All the styles here " White crane bird style " originated from the Shaolin temple. In fact,the secrets of Ji Gong itself was discovered by the Bhodisatva Tat Mo who then created shaolin kungfu.This old fuck is weak compared to monks.What happens if Feng vs a Shaolin monk?Both understand the power of Chi but only the physical power of the Shaolin monks will triumph all. Even this commercialized piece of trash wont be a match to the true gold of shaolin
Spoken by another true keyboard warrior. This "old man" has never been defeated in real fights. Trust me you will not be the first. People like you have already tried and have gotten thrown hard on the ground. As Neijiachuan said "put up or shut up!
And by the way, chin20000, Any further trolling and ignorant comments by you will be completely ignored! When you come back with proof of you defeating Master Feng, then I will even consider answering any more of your little messages!
don't you see how your ignorance slides off a master like your feeble attacks would? exposing your stupidity by referring to this skill as trash telegraphs your lack of understanding in general. No one even needs to defend against you, you would start a fight by punching yourself in the mouth.
you can see he is emitting his jing in a controlled manner very solid stance I always say to people that I teach build up a strong root through correct practice of tai chi and you'll be amazed at what you can do I asked my teacher what the secret was and was basically told in halting english there was none just dilligent practice
Right on, Mantisdude. I agree 100& with what you said. Nomind101, I study with Laoshi Humberto Pomales who is a disciple of Master Chen Zhonghua. Master Chen is a disciple of Master Feng. I have had the experience of feeling Laoshi Pomale´s and master Chen´s power.
I used to say the same thing until my teacher, a practioner under master Feng's Hunyuan Taijiquan system, made me eat my words and the floor. Years later I experienced Master Chen Zhonghua's power first hand, who is my teacher's teacher and a disciple of Master Feng. I don't tell you to believe that these taijiquan demos are real, I suggest you come to one of our seminars and experience it for yourself. Feeling is believing.
As I replied to someone else, you would need to experience this for yourself in getting thrown by a highly skilled Taijiquan practitioner while you are giving them their best in order to see that this is for real. As Master Chen Zhonghua says, fake fighting is easy to make it appear real and real fighting can appear fake, especially when you don't understand internal art's body mechanics (all based on physics, not "magic").
Who is your teacher? I just started studying with Li Lairen, who is also a student of Feng Zhiqiang. (Or are you studying with Li Lairen too? If so, I'll see you in class! ;) ) My previous teacher did a few bewildering things to me in "demos", but I have yet to experience any "real" contact in IMA, as in, I'm REALLY TRYING to stay on my feet/put him on his ass... I love studying, but the effectiveness remains unproven to me. We'll see.
Recently, I came back form a 1 month trip to China and had the chance to meet Master Feng Zhiqiang in Beijing. Trust me, he is even more powerful in person than what this video shows. I felt his power! This is real martial arts!
Well, how did it go with your teacher? LOL! How´s training going? I did check out Li Lairen´s web page and see that he includes sparring in his curriculum. Have you actually had the chance of attending those sparring sessions yourself? How are those sessions structured? Do you have a chance to actually apply and feel taijiquan figting principles applied? Just curious.
I'm not at the sparring level yet, (with Taiji, that is) but I have been getting together with some people outside class and doing some rough-housing. Training is going crappy right now. I've made some blunder and screwed up my knees pretty bad. Combination of trying to twist too much with a tense kua, and being all tense and out-of-whack from working construction.
I recognise what you are saying, but surely that all depends on you - like, I don't know what level you are at, so I don't know what 'power' means to you. If you're not personally powerful, you might be easily impressed.
I dont know who you are referring to specifically with your comment, but just decided Id point out a chen style taijiquan stylists perspective on Power. My recommendation would be to check out Master Chen Zhonghua´s video here in youtube titled "Power Out in Circles". He explains how we produce power in Chen style Taijiquan from a de-mystified perspective involving body movement and angles. Master Chen studied both under the late GM Hong Junsheng and currently under GM Feng Zhiqiang.
By the way, FamilyQuan, I also recommend to you checking out another of Master Chen Zhonghua´s videos here in youtube titled "How to Match Your Opponent's Power". I´m open to any friendly discussion on the matter. Take care and best of wishes to you in your training of your chosen martial art style.
@neijiachuan master feng is awesome i have met him on a visit to beijing with master fei bing a past student of his was very impressed with his speed when i tried to push him
Fat? This guy's not fat, and I don't believe that iron shirt or chi has anything to do with it as I have seen plenty of thin internal practioners. No, the reason why he isn't trim and slim is because he's obviously middle aged. I wouldn't say he's fat though.
very nice, but wheres the sound man wheres the sound?
can anyone offer an explanation on why all decent chen practitioners look fat? I know its not fat, but chen style definetely produces a certain body type n Im not sure exactly why
Fat is the only way I candescribe it, though I know its not overweightness. Its that they have a certain "roundness" to them. My coach is the same, when I first started trainin wid him I could see him "get bigger" this torso, particularly around his belly, would expand like he was filling up wid water, cant explain or describe it better! just seeing if anyone ont there could explain it.
Theoretically, it's the amount of qi in his body, especially his dantian, which is of course located near the belly. It's probably more to do with an increased awareness of that region of the body, the sinking of weight to the lower regions, the increased use of the waist as a power generator and store, and things like that. Best not to get too caught up in the qi.
Feng is a true master...I saw him uproot people with magnetic Qi power!! (w/o hands...real sh_t!! - plus carefully look at his body roundness..it is not in the waist area, but actually closer to his mid dantian, not lower dantian.
The person who Feng is using to demonstrate is Master Wang Feng Meng.He teaches in NYC,and NJ.He is one of Master Fengs top disciples.

冯先生是陈氏十七世陈发科大师在北京授拳时的众多学生之一，他的心意混元太极拳也是源自发科公所授的陈氏太极。影片中冯先生演示的陈氏太极实战用法，第一招是白鹤亮翅、第二招是击地锤，但冯先生演示的击地锤用法却让我颇感疑惑。我粗通技击、陈氏太极也略有涉猎，我找遍了其他几位陈氏太极大师的教学、翻阅了一些陈氏历代先贤所著的拳谱、拳理著作，却找不到任何论点依据能符合、或佐证冯先生在这影片中演示的击地锤用法。影片中演示的是，俯身下腰、右拳锤击对手脚面、再用头顶击对手腹部。俯身下腰拳击对手脚面、将后脑杓完全亮给敌人，除非对方已经完全丧失行动能力、否则别说要顺利用拳击中对手脚面有多难（直接用脚踩不是更快？）、应该是拳头还没完全打出、后脑已遭重创了。这不管是在陈氏太极还是一般技击拳理中，都是与理论和实用完全相驳的。很讶异以冯先生的师承，会对击地锤有这样的理解，还是说冯先生是故意如此错解、以免日本人学到陈氏太极真髓？
