I'm so thrilled to see some people that treat Xing Yi like a real martial art but not just a cultural activity.
I'm a Chinese (I live in Hong Kong), and most Chinese martial artists that train in Chinese martial arts wouldn't do what you guys (and girl) do in the clip.
After all, Xing Yi is about practicality, so keep up the good work!
Looks pretty good, keep it up. Don't mind the clowns who sit on their rumps judging all day long. The most critical are usually the most incompetent. Keep training like you train and you'll get somewhere fast while the others sit around waiting for perfect conditions and a "perfect master" to materialize and transmit the whole art to them in one day. Effortlessly of course!
@kronah Xingyiquan is not magic qi. I've made a study into internal martial arts to prove it's not magical qi, but kinesthetics, mechanical advantage, and mental attitude training that gives internal martial arts their power. And...there is no such thing as a "master"... if by that you mean one who knows the style, that is only the founder. And he's dead. Everyone else is simply a student, with only different levels of experience. I'm done judging you, the typical 鬼佬 hippie who thinks its magic.
@kronah fighting ability does not get passed on through the transfer of Qi to one person from another. It is gained and refined through hours of practice. Im not a master. And i never will be. I will always be a student. My xingyi is for health and fighting. This is MY xingyi. My expression. ahmitofo. I hope your training goes well. FYI- Only god can judge me......
I like the hitting while standing on brick, but well sorry to pester you but what does it really train you for, except striking when you can't get good foot and hip rotation (ie while sitting).
basically, the drill teaches to the student to strike with his body, instead of just his arms, even if hes in a tight position, whether its against a wall or standing on a brick. If you can hit hard standing on a small brick, just think what you can do if you want alot of room to move.
Perhaps I'm not getting it quite right here, but from what I can see, the people in this video didnt show much familiarity with the movements. In order for something to be effective, it needs to be second nature, not a considered action. The training that develops this is extremely boring solo drilling, its important and seems lacking
These students have only been training for a couple of months. If they were super comfortable with the style already, I would be mesmerized. My system is complete and very effective. XingYi,sanda, bjj, and Krav Maga.....whats missing? We train hard and compete. One of my students has a muay thai bout up coming soon. I'll be sure to post.
Oh, and since you're into BJJ as well, I'm proud to tell you I took second place (>76kg) in ADCC Israel 2010 two days ago, after studying BJJ for just 2 years.
Much of my success is attributed to skills and attitudes I garnered from my CMA training.
You may have studied martial arts for 10 years......but you are NOT a martial artist. Because, if you were a martial artist you would know what "WU DE" is! And its funny how people like to judge, when they are not even brave enough to post one video of themselves. Atleast I have footage of myself training. You are just words. So, therefore, you DONOT exist. You are irrelevant. Goodbye.
learn proper grammar too. "Qi kung" , "This is farm from Self-defe."
I wasnt being arrogant. I was just staing that mouth peices were used in the clip, and the knife training was just impromptu fun. Im sorry if you percieved that statement came off as arrogant. You seem like a very skills and knowledgable martial artist. Ahmitofo
nice, looks a lot like wing chun with all the locks and stuff although i wouldent recomend dropping your hand on low kicks a muthai fighter wil amke u pay BIG TIme! lol ITS HAPPENED TO ME.
someone asked about "why are they standing on bricks and hitting pads?" .........well if you can learn to hit hard being in a cramped space, just imagine what you could do if were able to move!
personally, i could care less about what the world thinks. Personally i think bjj is a wonderful system that teaches you to deal with grappling situaions and is a key compenent to fighting
That is a pretty vague question aimed at a pretty large audience. There are many differing points of views. What the kung fu world thinks should matter little. Just like what the bjj world thinks of kung fu. It is all heresay. Reality is most kung fu guys who talk crap on jitsu have never even sparred with their own kung fu brothers let alone a bjj player.....how could they know? If you are wondering if bjj is any good..... go find out. Personally I agree with Randy.
It has good tools to use, but at the same time, it's useful to know the importance of trying to getting into ground fights if you could, since you can't use it where there are gravel, broken glass in bars or multiple men attacking you. But it's still a useful tool to use just incase
Yo, tip of the hat for getting in there and mixing it up. So many people can talk the talk, few walk the circle, lol. Whatever your level of skill is, you promote the art well. Keep checking my channel soon, you'll like what I put up, lol
yes. All of our grappling comes from shuai jiao (which is incorporated in Sanda anyway), tai ji wrestling, and Qin na)
as far as ground fighting goes....i only show my students the "essentials" of groundfighting. In a self-defense situation, i dont agree being on the ground in a safe enviroment, where outside attackers can get to you. But, GF is a essential tool as well.
@kronah as said by Jun Fan Lee (Bruce Lee) : "there are no masters, there are only students" :D

I liked the sparring - I even suggest you get mouth guards and boxing gloves as well - so you could play with the intesity more.
You kept nice structure, kept cutting into him - very nice practical xingyi.
The knife fighting was lacking imho - think realistically, when a real opponent has a knife you're not gonna get so close and slash half-wildly...
Still, that's the right way to bulid real skill.
I'm a harsh criticiser, but in my own way I exibit wu de...

randyds5 2 years ago
How arrogant of you...
"Wu de" - literally "martial virtue". A loose ethical code of the chinese martial arts community from the Ching dynasty's era.
"Kung" - force, skill or excercise is transliterated today from Mandarin as "Gong", like "Peking" is transliterated as "Beijing" these days.
You are very quick to down-size anyone you PERCIEVE as critisizing you.
The sentence at the end of my previous comment means "Very good workout friend".
I was complimenting you.
