This is great! I love how you can see how similar the live actions of real masters of martial arts and the animations in Avatar are. It’s amazing to see how kung fu masters and martial artists use their bodies to disable opponents. In Films of Fury, the filmmakers did an incredible job giving background into the culture as well as flooding me with kung fu film knowledge. It is one movie I won’t be forgetting anytime soon, bitly .com/qOQ9US.
My Shifu (Mr Xiang zhneg of Beijing) master Mr Liu Jing Ru performing basic excercises and movements of bagua. And my Shifu disciple performing bagua and Xing yi.
I teach Cheng style Ba Gua in Devon Uk! and love all martial arts!
i love that in avatar, they really are acurate with their movements. as this vid clearly shows....very nicely edited btw!!! :D i get excited when i know a movement that katara does...lol.
Great video editing and the flicks you are showing really pushing what Sifu Kisu said in the clip further. Damn why did they bring a Karate or Tae kwon do kid to do Aang's role.
@a00510511ca92 I totally agree. I havnt seen the movie and im not shure i will but judging from what ive herd they should have made it into three movies - one for each book instead of craming it all into one movie. But Ive been totally won over by Naruto and Naruto Shippuden. Its just so much more intence then Avitar and the charicters have much more depth to them
the last airbender as u know is based upon the cartoon series so its basically the same but more serious! personaly i think the cartoon/original is better! :D
That guy who sort of looks like Obama, I remember this mini clip when they describe the styles of the four nations, that guy's name is Sifu Kisu or something like that eh?
Best to do is try a few around your area. I've tried about half a dozen styles. I have now settled on Eskrima, Filipino martial arts. It may take some time before you find one that suits your personality and body type.
i really wish this movie wasnt coming out. so many idiots are going to learn bagua now and start killing people on accident. you cant use this in a real fight its far to powerful. i REALLY have to watch my temper now, it sucks.
If one is learning Ba Kua for only fighting than one has missed 99 % of what the art is.......Ponder what is this "air" that we are talking about bending, or could it be something more !!!!
@Daibhidh646 The other role Jet Li plays in The One, he is doing xingyiquan. I am certified in Emei Bagua and Xingyiquan. I like how both styles compliment each other... While Bagua moves in circles, keeping your opponents on the outside, and in Hsing Yi, your going straight thru your opponents like a tank.
@raysetiger285 If you mean same as punching and kicking then yes. But if you are referring to it on a deeper level, both styles are different. Hsing Yi is an internal martial art, along with Emei Bagua and Tai Chi.
@TheLostArtOfWar1 Bagua has straight-like entry techniques, but the power is then applied circularly, moving your opponent through multiple planes, making his ability to recover his balance/reorient for controlled landing more difficult. Anyone who shows you bagua SOLELY by circling around you like some deranged planet doesn't know bagua: they just dance.
I my self am a Pakua(aka Bagua ) fighter, Its quite true, our goal is to fight you at a circle, your at a disadvantage that way. Though that doesn't mean if you confine us to a tight corner we won't know how to fight as every one that trains in Ba Gua usually knows liner kung-fu too. We as Ba Gua practitioners learn many forms of combat and not just one ;).
@xxdookersxx I've been studying ba gua for 10 years. Barely scratched the surface. We learned some Hsing I at a Fall retreat. It's an awesome art also
u r a fan of Li Lian Jie(Jet Li) and Avatar. wow nice~ me too~ I like Martial Arts. except Capoeira~ Capoeira people for me is bad. they r so showy.I hate them.
The main thing is that you yourself know that you have a style that fits and works for you.
......Damn we are far off topic.... lets see.. oh right, Jet Li
As Jet Li may have been a Wushu champion he still trained traditional Shaolin Kung Fu when younger as well as other traditional styles. If you ask me, i'd say he is one hell of a good fighter.
Rrutgerson, over and out. Greetings from SeaTrident too... bry sig, aja, haistakaa paskaa hei!
Looks like we have had very different experiences, Rrutgerson, hence our very different ways of looking at the same thing. We won't be able to convince each other of anything here, but I'm glad we've had a civil enough discussion.
But, yes, we're off topic. Jet Li? Great athlete with cool moves. :)
Bottom line is: What works for you may not work for others, but that does not mean they can't be as good of a fighter you are.
Though i agree with you that the wushu exhibitions and the sanda overshadows the traditional arts (practitioner of Northern Shaolin myself), but the wushu practitioners does not have to be
bad fighters 'cause of that. People may look down on your style and not worhip it as the best, but seriosly, who gives a shit?
This is essence of Kung Fu and is what makes it living. Shi Dejian seems to train mostly on forms and hand to hand techniques because he has chosen to do so from the start and it fits him the best. The sanda and wushu exhibition fighters does the same they do what fits them, acheiving their own real Kung Fu. Same goes for the guys in clip "The Shaolin Way of Kung Fu". Love that stuff.
path in the way of martial arts and find what techniques will fit him the best as a person. Being like Bruce Lee with lightning kicks and punches or someone with a steel body being able to take ten punches to the face without flinching. Therefore there are not one real part of Kung Fu, there is only what is right for the indivudual. You learn the techniques from your art and from there on you develop your own personal style that fits you.
.... But this could not be further from the thruth besause the Shaolin martial art incorporates everything that builds up the greatest fighter: a hard and solid body, flexibilty, acrobatics, weapon usage, fighting skills and a mounstruous amount of different techiques. Watch a documentary about them and you will understand, hopefully. Probably not if you are a brainashed karate fanboy though...
I would cast Jet Li as Jeong Jeong. Him and Jackie Chan as Bumi, with Sammo Hung as Iroh. Just imagine these guys OWNING at the battle of Ba Sing Se. It would be kickass.
Actually the kid they picked is IN a Tae Kwon Do club. He's a black belt in karate....apparently karate looks just like all kung fu to M Night Dumbass
@mad8london247 You can always download the torrent and watch for free if the film is garbage, no need to waste the money... I sometimes watch a very good film later on in the cinema as well, so everyone wins. :) Just bad films loose money, but if not enough effort is put into it why SHOULD we pay?
they got a martial arts expert in to choose the martial arts for each natian, i think earth bending is tai chi and toph incorporates praying mantis style into her fighting
earth bending also uses several styles of shaolin INCLUDING the praying mantis... one of the shaolin animals.... and everyone always forget that firebending is shaolin also, just a different region
AirBending=BaguaZhang, WaterBending=TaiJiQuan, EarthBending=HungGaQuan, Toph is very special and Only she uses Southern Praying Mantis (JookLum/ChowGar/Hakka) as the basis of her earthbending form, this explained as being a blind master differentiated her style from the norm. HungGar is Southern Shaolin, Related to but discernable from the Northern Shaolin of Firebending. Northern Praying mantis styles are Very different from southern and not directly related, with exception of rare mixed Styles
vanessawang702 Wushu is just a generic term for "martial arts". Jet Li is well versed in many styles of wushu including Bagua. In the one he is actually using Bagua as one of his styles.
-.-; no duh its real, like every other martial art movies out there. jet lis a martial artist, he wouldnt make a movie with jus random punches, it wouldnt be a good movie
Jet Li has the ability to learn many styles. His original style is modern wushu. But he also knows N.Shaolin KF, all Tai Ji styles, mantis, drunken, ba gua, etc etc. basically, all chinese styles.
as a boy he was lucky to go to school 4 that. back then some schools were strict about it, so theres alot more ppl out there that went to school with him, jus didnt want to get famous
yeah i have to agree with sweetazn208 cause jet li does look a bit more like zuko, and i think #1 he would fit that role much better and #2 that he would look wicked with a scar like zuko's
Jet Li is the ultimate Airbender, not only does he use Bagua in this scene but his evil counterpart is using hsing yi the other style that was the base for airbending.
Meh, i dont' see a lot of similarities between Jet Li's fighting scenes and the style of Ba Gua to be honest. He spins a couple of times but as it's stated "constantly moving in a circle". Jet Li just sort of..traces a circle if you know where i'm coming from.
I'm glad someone else realizes Jet li is the Avatar. He's done Bagua, Tai Chi (Twin Warriors or Tai Chi Master), he's done lots of northern kung fu styles in most of his films, and I'm sure he's done something like hung gar or 7 star praying mantis.
He doesn't learn styles fast. he learns the aesthetics and forms of the styles fast. All kung fu share the same core fundamentals and basics, that is why his wushu training allows him to emulate them.
More correctly, he does everything as if it were a wushu routine. From his form in The One and Tai Chi Master, I would hazard that he has absolutely zero Xingyi, Bagua, and Taiji.
A Toyota Corolla engine encased in a Formula one shell is not a real F1 racer. But people who don't know cars probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
This is not to say Jet Li's not a highly talented individual though. He'd likely do very well in real martial arts if he actually practised them.
You're an idiot, go read about Jet Li's history. "very well in real martial arts if he actually practised them" He devoted his life to martial arts you ignorant punk.
what exactly do you define as "real martial arts."? Jet Li was a wushu champion as a child and has spent his life dedicated to martial arts. The fact you're saying what he's doing is fake is ignorant. So asnwer my question.
Wow, this really bothers you, doesn't it? Well, I'll do my best to answer you, but I guarantee you will not like my answer.
Wushu is a performance (dance) form created by the Chinese government in the 50's. While it is superficially like the traditional fighting styles it has drawn from, Wushu dancers do not practise the conditioning and antagonistic exercises needed for their skills to work in combat.
Furthermore, Wushu has more and more deviated from its source arts and nowadays violates many basic principles of stance and movement. Training in Wushu might actually make you a worse fighter than not training in anything.
On the other hand, Wushu people - especially highly talented ones like Jet Li - are superbly conditioned acrobats. The stuff they do I won't even dare to try. It's possible that their athleticism would make up for their lack of combat skills in a pinch.
It's possible that Jet Li has been doing real martial arts all this while and I am just ignorant. However, if he has been a pure Wushu guy all his life, then he's a great acrobat but no fighter. Or at least he would be a much better fighter if he had spent his time doing conditioning and sparring instead.
I personally think he's an awesome athlete and I love his shows. That does not mean, however, that I must mistake his Wushu for real pugilistic skill.
This is great! I love how you can see how similar the live actions of real masters of martial arts and the animations in Avatar are. It’s amazing to see how kung fu masters and martial artists use their bodies to disable opponents. In Films of Fury, the filmmakers did an incredible job giving background into the culture as well as flooding me with kung fu film knowledge.

@mad8london247 You can always download the torrent and watch for free if the film is garbage, no need to waste the money... I sometimes watch a very good film later on in the cinema as well, so everyone wins. :) Just bad films loose money, but if not enough effort is put into it why SHOULD we pay?

actually only one of the people in the video was using bagua in that fight.
or i guess only one jet li(considering he's playing two roles in that movie) the other him is using a different style of wushu
maddude3 2 years ago
The bad Jet Li. is using Xhingyiquan. Created by Spear Fighters originally.
Bagua is circular, whilst Xhingyi is linear.
Quiet ironic, since traditionally when you learn Bagua, you also learn Xhingyi.

The creator of the avatar is really smart to choose ba gua zhang for air bending. Nice vid =)

they got a martial arts expert in to choose the martial arts for each natian, i think earth bending is tai chi and toph incorporates praying mantis style into her fighting
TheOracle234 2 years ago
earthbending is hung gar but toph uses praying mantis. waterbending is tai chi

earth bending also uses several styles of shaolin INCLUDING the praying mantis... one of the shaolin animals.... and everyone always forget that firebending is shaolin also, just a different region
mel956 2 years ago
AirBending=BaguaZhang, WaterBending=TaiJiQuan, EarthBending=HungGaQuan, Toph is very special and Only she uses Southern Praying Mantis (JookLum/ChowGar/Hakka) as the basis of her earthbending form, this explained as being a blind master differentiated her style from the norm. HungGar is Southern Shaolin, Related to but discernable from the Northern Shaolin of Firebending. Northern Praying mantis styles are Very different from southern and not directly related, with exception of rare mixed Styles

I was wondering when I saw Avatar and thought I've seen this before in a movie I've seen and then I see this and oh yeah, Jet Li knows Ba Gua
Excalibur01 3 years ago
he also knows the other styles in avatar, those are the basic styles, he went to school to learn all that

vanessawang702 Wushu is just a generic term for "martial arts". Jet Li is well versed in many styles of wushu including Bagua. In the one he is actually using Bagua as one of his styles.

smcneal057 3 years ago
if i'm not mistaken, wushu simply refers to martial arts. not one style in particular.
toookoooldrew118 3 years ago 2
Jet Li has the ability to learn many styles. His original style is modern wushu. But he also knows N.Shaolin KF, all Tai Ji styles, mantis, drunken, ba gua, etc etc. basically, all chinese styles.
Nice vid btw.

AANG N JET LI FOR LIFE!

yeah i have to agree with sweetazn208 cause jet li does look a bit more like zuko, and i think #1 he would fit that role much better and #2 that he would look wicked with a scar like zuko's
ttomttom31 3 years ago
Jet Li is the ultimate Airbender, not only does he use Bagua in this scene but his evil counterpart is using hsing yi the other style that was the base for airbending.

and avatar rocks too!! great ending!
daxxsavio 3 years ago
Meh, i dont' see a lot of similarities between Jet Li's fighting scenes and the style of Ba Gua to be honest. He spins a couple of times but as it's stated "constantly moving in a circle". Jet Li just sort of..traces a circle if you know where i'm coming from.

Wicked editing, man! Jet Li's wicked! I think he should be in the Avatar movie that N. Night Shylaman's making. He fits that genre perfectly
wraith27 3 years ago
WOW!! He is amazing. Anyone else think he should play adult Aang????
Or at least be in the movie??
eh, I'm a dork...
Juice4Productions 3 years ago
As an Airbending monk sure, as Aang no, Jet Li wouldn't play a role like Aang. It doesn't fit his holywood image.
InvaderVen 3 years ago
Yeah, I kinda knew that was impossible...
But someone of his talent would make an excellent Airbending Monk or another character in the story....

I'm glad someone else realizes Jet li is the Avatar. He's done Bagua, Tai Chi (Twin Warriors or Tai Chi Master), he's done lots of northern kung fu styles in most of his films, and I'm sure he's done something like hung gar or 7 star praying mantis.
Bigboss5 4 years ago 5
its amazing he learns the styles so fastly
for movie use..
he such a kung fu genius
MrPinoy91 4 years ago 2
He doesn't learn styles fast. he learns the aesthetics and forms of the styles fast. All kung fu share the same core fundamentals and basics, that is why his wushu training allows him to emulate them.
cloud0123 4 years ago 2
More correctly, he does everything as if it were a wushu routine. From his form in The One and Tai Chi Master, I would hazard that he has absolutely zero Xingyi, Bagua, and Taiji.
A Toyota Corolla engine encased in a Formula one shell is not a real F1 racer. But people who don't know cars probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
This is not to say Jet Li's not a highly talented individual though. He'd likely do very well in real martial arts if he actually practised them.
eastpaw 2 years ago
You're an idiot, go read about Jet Li's history. "very well in real martial arts if he actually practised them" He devoted his life to martial arts you ignorant punk.
AntiHero12109 2 years ago
I know very well who he is. No need to get uppity, old chap. You and I just have different definitions of "martial arts".
eastpaw 2 years ago
you're just ignorant, young boy. You should show more respect.
AntiHero12109 2 years ago
*shrug*
Well, whatever floats your boat. Don't let me get in the way of your hero-worship.
eastpaw 2 years ago
what exactly do you define as "real martial arts."? Jet Li was a wushu champion as a child and has spent his life dedicated to martial arts. The fact you're saying what he's doing is fake is ignorant. So asnwer my question.
AntiHero12109 2 years ago
Wow, this really bothers you, doesn't it? Well, I'll do my best to answer you, but I guarantee you will not like my answer.
Wushu is a performance (dance) form created by the Chinese government in the 50's. While it is superficially like the traditional fighting styles it has drawn from, Wushu dancers do not practise the conditioning and antagonistic exercises needed for their skills to work in combat.
eastpaw 2 years ago
Furthermore, Wushu has more and more deviated from its source arts and nowadays violates many basic principles of stance and movement. Training in Wushu might actually make you a worse fighter than not training in anything.
On the other hand, Wushu people - especially highly talented ones like Jet Li - are superbly conditioned acrobats. The stuff they do I won't even dare to try. It's possible that their athleticism would make up for their lack of combat skills in a pinch.
eastpaw 2 years ago
It's possible that Jet Li has been doing real martial arts all this while and I am just ignorant. However, if he has been a pure Wushu guy all his life, then he's a great acrobat but no fighter. Or at least he would be a much better fighter if he had spent his time doing conditioning and sparring instead.
I personally think he's an awesome athlete and I love his shows. That does not mean, however, that I must mistake his Wushu for real pugilistic skill.

nice going, i enjoyed this argument, although it seemed pretty one sided lol
