ChuojiaoLarge Frame Fanzi Quan 1st Road - Support Hammer

[mashbah78]

i've seen better fanzi 

[airforceallie]

@mashbah78 me too. but this is a different fanzi than what most people see.

[dxmakina]

this is real fanzi as in NOT WUSHU? god i hate wushu. a cancer on kung fu.

[lazaga777]

So this is a traditional routine. Are there others like this?

[airforceallie]

@lazaga777 yeah there are tons in the VCD section at plumpub.com

[Wontonmean]

[Wontonmean]

amazing to watch! thanks for uploading.

[ukguy]

[thecubeisyou]

where did you get this vcd? I cant find it on either of the sites

[g888]

is tis fanzi quan ? or a type of hsing i ? or a mixture ? greetz g

[ryukage1156]

I think it may be a very traditional, more internal based fanzi quan similar to the hui styles of xing yi and pi gua

[fzeeshan]

it's a norther (norther-western to be exact) style but is usually taught in conjunction of Fanzi.

[markohu]

nice

[sawa8]

Beijing style. A little stiff in my 2c.

[airforceallie]

so you do the real fanzi? where do you study?

[sawa8]

No offense. Every style is real. If you happen to know Chinese, please go to read the history of Fanzi.Thanks for sharing.

[airforceallie]

i meant real compared to the modern fanzi that you didn't like. i wouldn't call that real.

[ngondeg]

Well, Sawa, I wouldn't call that stiffness.

In fact Shen's moves are quite springy.

[sawa8]

How are you, ngondeg! Don't mad at me. I know this is your favor. I agree he is springy on most of aspects. In my impression, we should treat him as a master. Correct me if I am wrong. His hips, lower limbs and spinal movements are all excellent. But maybe because of that, his upper limbs and shoulders are relatively less desired. Just my 2c.

[ngondeg]

Hi Sawa. No, I'm not mad at you :)

His shenfa is very strong and so are his hands.

I'd say that his joints are 'well connected' and thus not loose. Kind of like osier is. Shen Yanlu has his own flavour to it, but generally it is a chuojiaofanzi requirement (at least Beijing line). I'm not sure, but this requirement seems to differ from those of say xibei fanzi, or donbei fanzi. It is not the same style anymore, even if the root is common.

[KungFuBadAss]

This guy is really good, especially his sand scraping steps.

[airforceallie]

"sand scraping steps"... i like that better than what we call them, i think i'm going to use that now!
