Throws by Master Liang

[jacksawild]

Let's look at the techniques and then imagine a situation where they wouldn't work. Once we've done that we can safely never bother learning the subtleties of seven or eight generations of diligent practice by daily combateers because we saw Jackie Chan on T.V once and that means we are masters. YAY

I've been watching a few of your vids tonight. Now I know why you're so good at taijiquan. Well done! Excellent demo taijiman.

[guerillawashesface1]

wow, apart from the throws being very effective, I was really impressed by the guys (in blue) resolve. He kept getting up... pretty intense

[kmfdm543]

seems this man in white never had real street-fight before. The technics are quite rough.

[taijiman7777]

Silliest comment ever!

[bandedecloches]

I think he won an intergalactic price, fortunatly for him he'll never have to taste how wrong he is (hope for him)

[bandedecloches]

(was talking about kmfdm of course)

[seanadupre]

@kmfdm543 on the street people don't punch, stop and wait, when they punch and you grab they keep moving and struggling making it hard to complete you defense techniques so i agree with you about the street roughness.

[Jade3liphant]

@kmfdm543 Technique isn't about looking sexy, man. It's about beating your opponent. That being said sexy techniques impress the ladies.

[TheZhongzheng]

@kmfdm543 What the hell does that mean ha ha ha ha ha ha . Thank you for making me laugh

[critiquemaster]

@kmfdm543 - it is better to shut up if you don't know what you're talking about.

[SiddTheFrickingNayak]

@kmfdm543 *sigh* in a real street fight, master liang would kill his opponent so hard that they wud fricking die to death.

[jozef93]

@kmfdm543 you must be kiddin :D

[frater]

[hcn9]

i wonder if the guy enjoyed being thrown about

[BushiBato]

@hcn9 Damn right he did

[gagi1963andjeo]

5 STARS!

[kungfudoggie]

Hey, thanks for taking the beating so that we could watch this great demonstration guy in the blue!

[georgehsliew]

lol

[iQing]

can you read or write chinese?

I heard some people master chinese just to learn martial arts properly.... like BK Frantzis

[taijiman7777]

我学习中文. It can help when you are learning Chinese martial arts. But it is not necessary to be fluent. The most important thing is to practise, research, and understand your teacher.

[ashwix]

the most important thing is to doubt and think for yourself

[fightermanizdebest]

why?

[randyds5]

indeed, because if you dont....then you will only learn as much as someone else will let you

[PsychoBeast1980]

@taijiman7777 Chinese characters also have hidden meanings, if you can find them. I'll give you a clue, it's in their stroke pattern ;)

[JonYounghusband]

@taijiman7777 Good point! Does knowing the Full meaning of Tai Ji possitions help in the understanding of the movements themselfs? For instance; Repulse the Monkey must mean more if you had an understanind of Chinese culture and language.

[wujimon]

I thought LSY was more of a "kuai" jiao guy as opposed to schuai jiao? I saw a video where he said kuai jiao is much faster, tap, tap, tap throw. Whereas schuaijiao was more tap, lock, lock, throw.

[taijiman7777]

"Shuaijiao is not a style or system by itself. All Chinese martial arts use shuaijiao techniques. Master Liang has written three books on relating to suaijiao. One is "Chinese Fast Wrestling for Fighting (the art of San Shou Kuai Jiao)", the second is Xiaoyaoshuai (Wuji system takedowns) and the third is about traditional shuaijiao techniques. I don't know whether the 3rd book is published yet. He has also written about taijiquan, xingyiquan, baguazhang, and qigong.

[DaiBoxer]

Umm. Excuse me, but Shuaijiao IS its own system by itself. For someone who seems so familiar with Mr Liang's work, you should know this. All Chinese systems do use shuai fa (throwing methods), but Shuaijiao is the oldest gongfu system.

Its Chin Na that is not a system by itself. Cheers.

[taijiman7777]

Thanks for the clarification. I should have said "shuaijiao isn't just a style by itself." Most martial arts use shuaijiao 摔交 (摔跤) methods, just as they do Qinna 擒拿 (seize & control), and tida 踢打 (kicking & punching). Shuaijiao is a general term for wrestling of which there are at least 4 regional styles in China alone. Every culture in the World has some form of shuaijiao. Kuaijiao (快跤) refers to a particular type of shuaijiao technique.

[DaiBoxer]

True that. Just a 'typo'. Best of training to you friend.

[ashwix]

read my post on shuaijiao dot tv

[wushuman4444]

watch the head

[taijiman7777]

Yess indeed. I don't know if I was dehydrated or tired or just didn't know any better back then. But I was certainly not tucking my chin the way I should have in this video. At one point you can hear my head hit the floor. "Thankyou for the iron head training, Liang Shirfu."
