Yang Jwing Ming - Forma corta

[quasi1981]

An old MA teacher in LA but from China, and he said that it really doesn't matter what style or MA he teaches. He just needs to teach you what he knows and the form is irrelevant. Once we let go of all our blocks in our body, mind, emotions, and spirit, the body will know how to fight, and therefore we become out own form. Al Huang, Embrace Tiger, Climb Mountain, had a woman in class was jumped in the city and he went for her handbag, she hit him & ran & forgot her TaiChi! He said she did!!

虛靈頂勁 動中求靜 希望更能發揮

[BennyCTTan]

This is a true master at work. I am so glad that his work is being recognise around the world. His passion is undoubtly questionable, my praise and honour to Dr. Yang for his contribution for the martial arts world.

[lebarosky]

This master has written some excellent books on the Yang form. He is one of the best practitioners of Yang Taijiquan in the world, based on those who post videos on YouTube.

[porlino87]

this is beautiful

[TaterGumfries]

That's some crazy dance.

[NTNGUYEN]

I used to know this form, too bad I haven't practiced this form for so long, I no longer remember it. Great demo

[wagfinpis]

good stance.

[araucaman]

although Dr. yang has slightly changed some movements to fit his own body structure, and sense of enemy. which is what any real master will do once they truly master an art. he is my Shifu i live and train with him in California at the YMAA retreat center. anyone is welcome to come and train with us. check it out at the YMAA website.

[araucaman]

taiji quan uses soft jin, and white crane uses soft hard jin, so if you mastered the soft side of the white crane then you can use it in taijiquan, it is the same body structure. this is a demo form derived from the three parts of the traditional yangstyle taijiquan taught to "inside" students by Yang Bang Ho, and was taught to Dr. Yang by Master KaoTao,

[Anglostani]

Wonderfull yang taiji with fa jin by Dr Yang Jwing Ming. 

[kenadra13]

@Thailearner

It's Yang style from the lineage of Yang Chengfu, but it's strongly infuenced by white crane kungfu - no wonder you couldn't recognize it, it's quite far from its lineage, but still quite good :)

[Thailearner]

Perhaps I found the new form of Tai Chi. Anyone can tell me which style he use?

[kongfusoul]

bull shit

[Marumasa]

@kongfusoul

I'll freely admit to not knowing much about Tai Chi, but I know internal power when I see it. Not only does he have excellent explosive power, he demonstrates the internal connection and root anyone would expect of a kung fu master. I really don't see what you're calling bullshit on.

[fujitafunk]

Very solid stance work and amazing fa-jing. He's very good. His books are very informative as well.

[ChillingWithAGrin]

Lessons from air and water.

Water is relaxation. Relax to find gravity and momentum. Momentum flows into direction. Direction precipitates change. By changing we adeptly overcome.

Air is movement. Movement requires breath. Breath is key to speed. Speed utilizes relation to time. Knowing time and ourselves gives way to freedom.

[FreakyFloyd]

It's amazing how well you can sense his power and intent. It's like you can feel the build up of chi, the explosive release, and the immediate relaxation thereafter... Great clip!!!

[micsir888]

@FreakyFloyd Even when he looks relexed he isn't that is the point..dynamic tension. He keeps the hammer cocked.

[quasi1981]

@micsir888 - I believe he is totally relaxed, & that IS the point. True relaxation means his channels which holds the energies he unleashes, are completely empty. Emptiness in the far East looks at emptiness very different from us. Being very relaxed would be like being in a foxhole, & you are surrounded. A great fear arises, and all your senses are dialated, and you are open to all around you, & relaxation is huge, full of emptiness. Fight or flight & a huge energy comes thru Ur emptiness!

[WuSuanSo]

Dr Yang Jwing-Ming is one dude you don't want to mess with. Trust me. I know. He can break your neck in a matter of seconds. If you think his Taiji is awesome, wait until you see his Qin-na skill. One word: DEADLY.

杨氏太极当作陈氏太极来练

真是有些意思

[vacotaharrys]

hermosa demostracion del gran maestro yang jwing ming,un verdadero deleite para todos aquellos que amamos las artes marciales chinas.gracias por compartirlo

[YouKippo]

Incredible! Thx for sharing!

I'm actually learning this form from one of his disciples and i'm loving it.

[nineneun]

poca madre!!!

gracias!!!

[whfmantis]

it's very clear that he knows how to fight with taji,unlike 95% of other so-called instructors.Taji,white crane,shoalin,In the end it's all the same.That's why people are flocking to mma,there's no stupid,petty bickering.

[randyds5]

true. "I like all martial arts"....if everyone believed in that quote, things would be alot better

[j1o2h3n4n5y]

Looks to me like he knows what he's doing.

[quanjiahao87]

He seems alright, though I feel as if not all his movements connect

[aeortiz2004]

He's just flawless!!!

[MyrtleFlora]

Absolutely incredible. Love it! This is THE MAN!

[maofas]

I'm not really a fan of forms, and my background is exclusively Japanese MA, but I keep coming back to watch this. It's a rare instance of seeing a form and being able to say "He is good" rather than just "That was a good form" or "He is good at doing forms".

[higgo007]

Master Yang's tai chi form is slow and peaceful yet with incredible fajing and deadly accuracy. Every move demonstrated has a kick, punch, chin na or wrestling application. While this demo is good, to see Mater Yang perform at one of his seminars and see the power of his techniques is a must for anyone interested in martial arts.

[always97]

wonderful form, explosive and beautiful - a rare and excellent posting. thanks for sharing.

[Jofishy66]

It is not the form as he teaches it if anyone is wondering. He teaches the standard Yang form....this must have been for demonstrative purposes. I learned the Yang form from one of his schools..a satellite school in Andover Mass. Lotta fun. I just do it for fun, but may get back into...now that I am over forty.

[Mangojuice211]

Clearly, its a display! I'm sure its a way of him expressing his movement, with whatever his own training background is in. The skill to me seems very high level...

[Rtystic]

Look at the energy and explosive speed of the fingerjab strike at 1:16. WoW. For being around 60 years old, this man is amazing.

[araucaman]

@Rtystic actually it is not a fingerjab, he actually settles the wrist at the last moment before making contact, making the energy penetrate, this is the power of the soft jin!

[vince84231]

slightly white crane oriented

[littlecannon]

He comes from a background of White Crane, so it's bound to show up in his taijiquan.

[serpentvolant]

I know. He was my teacher. In fact his Taijiquan is VERY white crane oriented. It is obvious in his jing expression as well as in his applications. No offense. I deeply respect his high level of mastery ... of course

[littlecannon]

How was he as a teacher? Taiji and White Crane have similarities in the way they are expressed, shaking energy is the same no matter what you do. You can see the white crane coming through in the cross hands posture at the end there.

[serpentvolant]

He is a very clear teacher with a deep understanding of the theory. His Taiji quan could be called Yang (Jwing Ming) style, 'cause he has given a particular flavour to Yang Ban Hou's Taiji quan. His applications are a bit difficult (for me)

[IDOTUBEIDOTUBE]

It must be the old version by Patriarch Sifu Yang Pan Hou ...

[vince84231]

Yes it is.

[littlecannon]

Do you say this as it shows the expression of fajing or have you seen this form before? It does have a strong resemblance to Yang style, but with the rarely seen expression of jing.

[araucaman]

@littlecannon its rare because it was only taught to inside students, most of the people that practice yang style taijiquan, practice the the "health version" which doesn't have any of the body structure necessary to use it in actual combat.

[Kepheri]

Have anyone of you taken a look at his Vol. 2 taijiquan book. (Blue) cover Titled Theory and Martial Power (jin)? If you had read it before you will see that there are many tipes of Power (jin). I have seen Wudang monks practice Jin(power) expression similar to the way he is doing it. Check out on youtube Wudang shan and you will see for yourself.

[Julian1939]

Thanks for the reference to Wudang shan, I do spend a lot of time studying that book you mentioned and his other books. As of right now, the most important thing in my world is to figure out embryonic breathing. I need all the help i can get with the martial and energy work...

[kflejmer]

As always great preformance. Thanks for posting.

[trapfighter1]

his treatise on the yi jin jing is outstanding.

[chessman71]

Perhaps the naysayers should point out the pure form direct from Zhang San-feng because I've never seen it. But that's because it doesn't exist. Taiji at higher levels is always a personal expression, but this understanding is beyond the level of beginners.

[treborkciddur]

Amen brother.

[ahlgrasshopper]

I think it's that way with any martial art, chessman. Whenever I do longfist or ima I tend to think of applications from Jujitsu just because that's what I started with, and it's my personal base or foundation. As you train more, things tend to blend together and look maybe a little different than when you first learned it. I've seen Shito-ryu masters from the same branch perform the same kata and it looks different even though they're doing the same technique.

[Julian1939]

Right on, thanks for articulating a point that I had been unable to find words for. People often see something and go immediately to scrutiny, missing the point as they try to assert their own understanding. Nevertheless, anyone watching this video can get the insight to which you refer.

[jumponvietmobil]

what form is this? is this his own personal form? or is this just a section of the original yang style?

[jozadyl]

Because competitions or exhibitions involve many people, time is of essence. Practitioners thus excerpt from their respective styles and display a brief rendition--Hoping to successfully show their internal/external achievements. This form is excerpted from Traditional Yang Long Form. I've been fortunate enough to train under the Dr. He is astounding!

[SirRobbie888]

This is not original Yang Taiji Chuan - there is a clearly a very heavy Shaolin influence esp in the footwork.

[lievresauteur]

With the mastery he achived in chinese martial arts, I do really think he got the right to use the kind of jin he wants in his forms. He reached a point where all the styles, in a way, are the same.

[ChenQiangJianke]

Looks like Shifu Yang put the jin of his White Crane into his Taijiquan rather than using taiji fajin.

[araucaman]

@ChenQiangJianke its actually the same, soft jin is soft jin, except white crane doesn't use the legs to generate the power, unlike taijiquan.... body structure necessary to manifest this kind of power is the same though.
