Jin gang ba shi Green dragon form -Master Zhou jingxuan

[MaharlikaAWA]

Can people pull these moves off in real light confrontations?

[Shangwuzhai]

@MaharlikaAWA this is a form. a technique to practice many variables (speed, change, footwork....) it's not a fight. The skills you get from practicing it ARE useful for real confrontation

[MaharlikaAWA]

@Shangwuzhai I know what a form in.

And I want to know how the movements are applicable in a real fight. What exactly is he doing to opponents? What scenarios are there? I see him throw his arms circular downward. is that a throw?

[Shangwuzhai]

@MaharlikaAWA Some moves are throws, others are combinations of punches

[MaharlikaAWA]

@Shangwuzhai Cool. I would like to see his theories in one steps sparring to see how they work.

[KyleE130]

this is a realy nice form. i love the speed and flow it has .i enjoyed watching this vid with much respect.

[jorgelunaalvarez]

Nice dance :)

[mixjourneyman]

This is the best video of teacher Zhou I have seen on youtube (and that is saying a lot since all of his videos are top notch).

This is a very good form and the master is very talented in its execution :D

[jingang]

Well, it's my favorite too but it still does him no justice. If you ever see him perform it in person you'll be amazed at his speed and power.

[mixjourneyman]

I would like to if I come to Tienjin. :D

[WingChunGeologist]

This is a very impressive video.

What style is this form from?

Is this a Northern Shaolin style?

Are there any more videos on this style?

[BrokenCircleDao]

Beautiful. Much respect to the teacher.

[kikboxer2121]

Thanks for sharing this video, jingang. Everything Master Zhou does looks good to me. Clean, efficient, fighting-oriented. Wish he taught in the U.S.

[faunandy]

Dont mess around with him :o]

[Rblett]

If I didn't know better.... Just by looking at the video, it screams "baji".

[jingang]

Not at all. Baji doesn't have this complex shenfa and the jingang footwork is way more complex and diverse. Jingang uses a lot of whip-like power and Baji uses more whole body power. Baji goes through to opponent and Jingang is more evasive. Nevertheless, Master Zhou does Baji for many years the same as his teachers and their teacher Grandmaster Tian Jin Zhong who learned it from Wu xiu feng. We all put some Baji power into Jingang

[Rblett]

Yes, yes, I do see the side shuffles and whipping one wouldn't see in a baji form. Maybe this is what baji+pigua would look like combined. It seems to be a VERY cool form. I say that from the eyes of a martial artist. I hear you on the putting baji into other styles. I have hung gar roots, and put hung basics into everything I do. :)

[Dillagent]

@jingang Much respect for Zhou shifu

[vinnwann1]

but can he put a fruit pastel in his mouth without chewing

[himalayanspirit]

Awesome. Concentrate on his punches. They are so fast. He punches in an instant and with so much power. Too awesome.

Is it "internal" stuff he is doing or external?

[jingang]

Internal External.....Depends on how you define them as such. Jingang does have standing pole (zhan zhuang) practice and qi gongs

[himalayanspirit]

No I am not asking in that sense. Some Chinese MA use full body muscular power, where as other more "internal" ones use the concepts of "Qi" which can be felt and controlled and used in combat. So how does he explain his kung fu? Using the external concepts or by using the traditional chinese concepts?

[jingang]

Well, we see things a little different. The way I learned internal arts (from master zhou - Xingyi), they actually use whole body power and intent. Most teachers don't even talk about Qi. Qi is a concept that is very difficult to grasp and we can't really influence it directly but we can influence Yi (intent). From my understanding of IMA, one learns to controll his intent and achieve a whole body power. Master Zhou does use full body power as practiced in baji, xingyi and jingang

[Rblett]

"internal" or neijia arts begin with different standing postures which are used to meditate, and develop relaxed, timed movements which are either gentle or have intent. "External" or waijia arts begin with developing hardness and power, flexibility. It's a bit of a non-sequitor, as all Chinese martial arts are both external and internal. It's just a matter of the methods which are used as foundation. In addition, both neijia and waijia are traditionally Chinese.

[ambucias]

fantastic

[sinistavoicez]

I wish people would research before making comments, and then maybe they'd know it's best to appreciate and be quiet.

[Claude81]

frekin awsum

[muffinman333]

wonderful form, fierce and fast movements, breathtaking to watch. It's masters like you whom I really look up to.

thank you so much for posting this!

[cybernako088]

i noticed he stomps the ground....its a scare tactic i think. but yes exelent performes

[jingang]

Stomping the ground is not a scaring tactic, it's a way to push the body forward. Therefore there is no need to lift the foot high from the ground.

[cybernako088]

i understand know i went out and mimiced your movements from memory it does propel you forward and it keeps my energy intact with out losing concetration. great technic im going to incorporated into my style.

[OTERO81]

i think this is more of a ba Gua form instead of Dragon cuz Dragon deals with grip and claw work

[enerumu]

What is a Bagua? Im curious cuz my Sifu told me that I would learn the Lions Bagua.

[pistol975]

You are correct to say that Dragon deals with claw and grip work, but this is not it. Dragon used fists a lot. The key is a loose waist using penetrating, percussion like power. The attitude and focus of the strikes are important. Dragons also concentrate on locks, holds, throws, and some grappling. Very versatile and dynamic.

[dokungfu]

I'm actually a practitioner of the style - One of only a few here in the US that I know of. We have a Xing Yi set that moves a lot like this. And we pracice linear BaGua that has similar application and movements to other videos you've posted. I haven't come across another style that looks so related on all of youtube.. You're stuff is great! I'll post a video of the set I'm talking about and let you compare.

[jingang]

I think there is a limit of applications (moves) our body can do ( 4 limbs...) so it's very possible to find similar techniques in different arts. You call the stile "Li style" but you didn't say who is this mister Li (maybe I know what line he came from). There is no connection between The Xingyi that we practice to Jingang.

I'de love to see a videos, thanks.

[dokungfu]

The Li family style of Gansu have sets that look very similar. What part of China does this originate??

[jingang]

As far as I know, it can only be found in Tianjin and Wuhuan. I'de love to see the Li style form and compare myself. Do you have a link to their video?

[kunglek]

Is this Shaolin in origin?

[jingang]

Yes it is.

[maxsydisland]

random

[cathy75]

I noticed that some of the videos you have the Baji is Wu family.I saw danda and small frame. How is it related to jingang?

[jingang]

No relation. Our Baji is from Wu xiufeng. Our Jin gang is from Shi yushan. Tian jinzhong was their student so he learned both arts.

Jin gang ba shi is a complete art.

There were Baji practitioners (Li shuwen) who saw Jingang practitioners (Li ruidong) and liked what they were practicing. So the borowed the basic 8 Jingang hands and combined them into their Baji.

This is why today you can find Baji styles that have 8 hands called Jingang.

[leqianya]

the jingang mean in chinese the diamond, the hard metal on the earht.

[jingang]

As far as I know, you won't find Our Jin gang bashi in Shaolin. The Shaolin monestery got closed after this style was taught outside and when it was restored this art was not taught back to the shaolin monks.

If someone claims he practices the same art, I'de love to see some video's.

[leqianya]

second: all the shaolin parts follow the wushu without the chan but in jingang chan they learn the wushu with chan buddism.

th3: the buddism said that the wushu come from chan, but in jingang chan they said its come from chan and ma.

[jingang]

I think you are talking about Jin gang quan. It's not the same art as Jin gang ba shi.

[leqianya]

there a master from the jingang chan shaolin his name wang shen da. he said the school have the same tradtional shaolin wushu, but with some diffrnces. like all the shaolin parts say that buddah harma the indian monk the founder of the chan buddesim in china, he found the shaolin wushu,but in jingang chan part they say that ba toh the first monk in shaolin timple the founder of the shaolin wushu.

[leqianya]

did this form from jingangchan shaolin.

i guss its uneqe form even in china not alot people knoe it.

[jingang]

It's one of the Shaolin inner court martial arts.

It is rear these days

[leqianya]

thank u for this video its great.

[37Nitwits]

i heard about a xiaolin monk who shot lightning out of his hands. any1 now were the vid is. by the way awesome vid

[homooeconomicus]

Impressive demonstration.

I love his fast hands and the power behind it.

[amiroWW]

very bad performance

[bigfatnoisemaker]

oh yes amiro- you are a real expert i guess.

please explain why his performance is "bad"?!

i doubt that you even know what he is doing here. go and train little grasshopper.

[XecutionStyle]

Looks like Pi Gua (correct me if i'm wrong)

Scorpion from Mortal Kombat uses it lol

[jingang]

Correction. Does not look like Pigua. Actually it's very different from Pigua. It's origin is in Shaolin.

You can look at the rest of my videos and see some pigua stuff.

[TKD960]

Actualy Scorpion used Hapkido. Hotaru used Pi Gua

[XecutionStyle]

Pi Gua is both Scorpion's and Hotaru's Secondary style - they both use it.

Scorpion's Primary is Hapkido; Hotaru's Primary is Ba Shan Fan.

[truongcan89]

just awesome..i have seen so many ppl trying 2 do da same form but i think dis man is da best!!!

[jsooi]

so what style is this shaolin?

[jingang]

Originaly, yes.

[Raggomn]

I'm not doubting that this guy could smack me down in a blink of an eye, but some of his moves just look funny :D. Swinging his arms around like he's trying to fly. But I do envy him that he knows these 'forms' and can use them.

[H2Zman]

yeah, i know, but this is green DRAGON form, kinda imitating a dragon. That's why I like animal forms, they're so fun to watch. Most of them really look good, including this one.

[jingang]

Actualy there is no imitation of a dragon here. Green dragon is one of The Four Celestial Animals :Black Turtle, Red Phoenix, White Tiger and a Green Dragon. This form has to be performed with the flow & spirit of the green dragon.

[shengchenfan]

Someone said that they would like to see this form done on an actual attacker,You are suppose to extract from the form and ADAPT IT TO VARIOUS SITUATIONS.Using your Speed,Timing,Distance and Footwork etc.You must adapt those things to your personal training methods.

[Foyepolomi]

Wat about people like Guo Yunshen who practiced only the Beng Quan in the air for some years and was able to defeat his opponents by only this technique...

[Sharsade]

i would love to see the actul apilction of the form from wt or vt or wc

[kikboxer2121]

Everything this instructor does is so damn solid. It's beautiful to watch someone who has spent the time to bring out the explosive power in his traditional form. Wish he taught in the U.S.

[wongfeika]

i have trained to fight and i train forms, one without the other is useless. forms is a way of training the body and mind like punching pads for hours try living in asia for 2 yrs doing nopthing but training and fighting then comment on weather he is good or not

[Sharsade]

very goooooooooooood

[MasuraoX1]

I know...you guys think you know alot, and it's a fucking Kata...what kata in arts are ever effective in combat? Fuck you guys are noobs. Unbelievable how you're quick to judge somebody's ability to defend himself when you yourself don't know what your talking about (trust me you don't).

[bookguy12000]

they're not judging. you are.

[ace52387]

If you don't understand how practicing like this helps, i think you are the fool. Yeah it's not that effective alone, though developing your body co-ordination will help more than nothing at all, but you can't go all out in 2 person practice, and you can't be w/ a partner all the live long day. Bag and pad work doesn't always fit certain techniques. So yes, practicing this way is useful.

[wonand]

stop commenting noobs. This guy will kick your asses.

[ace52387]

the "application" demonstrations almost always look really bad and forced. And besides, there's no point in watching those demonstrations before you know how to do the form, should watch and start learning first, otherwise it's kinda pointless.

[jeffdoeskungfu]

Nice.
