His skill is definitely apparent.

[taffbanjo]

They say that whoever masters p'i kua and ba ji can scare even ghosts! The Shaolin equivalent of Pa Kua and Hsing-I.

Awesome stuff!

[Blueslicks321]

Know you Mandarin dude... on the outside of the cd box in which you gt this vcd it says Blue NOT GREEN! I.e its Blue dragon fist! Not green!

[airforceallie]

@Blueslicks321 I just started learning Mandarin last month. I'm happy that you know Mandarin so well but please go easy on me. The site I got it from said green, so I just went with that. I made the correction, thanks for visiting my page. Also, you wrote "Know you Mandarin dude".

[Blueslicks321]

@airforceallie also.. being a Beifang Chang Quan (a northern long fist) there is a lot going on here in the form. This is not a wushu (PRC) piguaquan (although depending on the teacher PRC Pigua can be down right kick butT (because PRC Pigua Quan is a combination of several Pigua styles and some coaches take the martial side very seriously. I should explain what the viewer is seeing to avoid any confusion of the validity of this art...

[Blueslicks321]

@Blueslicks321 Sorry... being "YouTube" I didn't think you (the owner of this ) would even read my comments. Yes there is a misnomer out there on this CD. Someone wrote in English "the word "Green" when addressing the name of the form and it seems to have stuck. I'm a long time practitioner of Northern Pigua Quan (a style very very similar to the one Sifu Jian Rou Zhou demonstrates here.) Blue dragon form is one of the main roads that one studies... continued

[airforceallie]

@Blueslicks321 you're 100% right! too bad pigua quan is so rare, it looks like an awesome fighting system even without training in baji on the side. even though the contemporary PRC version is a bit watered down, it still is my #1 most-wanted form... and with a good foundation you can take apart the movements and get good techniques out of it, like most of the modern wushu forms (maybe not the new nanquan though =)

[Dragon34th]

Niubi de dongxi. Bad. That guy could fuck shit right up. Very solid.

[DLZandorfRamash]

looks awesome, i wanna learn pigua, but too bad there isn't any place where i can learn this, so i guess i can teach myself a lil bit by watching

[MajesticAngelX]

The traditional styles are so beautiful to watch. I'd much prefer to learn a style like this than the more common modern ones that are more readily available at classes

[airforceallie]

@MajesticAngelX I feel the same way! Plus the traditional styles are better for your body and they teach you the fighting application, so you're not just getting fluff and a pretty looking dance, you're learning the art how it was meant to be learned.

[carlrobota]

@airforceallie

What common modern ones do you guys mean? Like Karate? Or the more MMA styles like Muay Thai? The modern ones have WAY more fighting applications than these form-based ones. The traditional styles are cool BECAUSE it is a dance, and still has some combat application. Against an average to moderately skilled opponent (99.9 percent of everyone) boxing and wrestling are the most important skills. MMA has proved this irrefutably. Not that I'm hatin', I think this is awesome.

[coopy868]

@carlrobota He is referring to the modern styles of 'wushu' - performance based kung fu. Unfortunately you are wrong, this is a traditional style in that every movement has application and is not just there to look good, traditional sets were developed to memorise specific fighting moves that are applicable in combat. It is naive to say that modern styles such as MMA or wrestling are better than traditional kung fu. It all comes down to the practitioner.

[BaddSlim1]

Why is this guy so awesome

[Neofcon]

Man, them spinning arms freaks me out...

[martjalartistvannabe]

dance little asian guy, dance!

[seansocheap]

Oh I just love how Namco gave Xiaoyu piguaquan! It's the perfect style for her! I can't imagine Xiaoyu practicing another style as her main! (I know some of her moves are of other styles)

[airforceallie]

@seansocheap i agree, and we've seen her used over and over with the same moves so we've gotten used to it too. she also uses baguazhang. i was really angry when they gave another girl who had her same moves!

[lazaga777]

@airforceallie wow... and who's that girl with the same move as xiaoyu?

[albertq150]

@airforceallie You Mean Helena From DoA 4 ... I love her she's my favorite and i am a Tekken fan but i dont like to take it very serious and hate other fighting games (aka Fanatics) and Xiao have Tai chi quan/Pi Qua Quan, she uses half and half of those two Styles and Helena Use the whole style of Pi qua quan and Kokoro is Ba Ji Quan same moves as Akira from Virtual Fighter 5 and Leo from Tekken 6.

[6arcsn1sky]

@albertq150 Xiaoyu actually uses baguazhang for half of her moves.

[Innocentlive24]

@seansocheap

scorpion have this teknike on MKBT deadly aliance

[maddorox]

wtf 1:07 - 1:08 ... O_O

[Akaoushi]

I would love to see some applications of this.

Very cool form, thanks for posting.

[MASoulChild85]

[sanabachi]

@AmericanPowerBase Really? I saw a grand master in being a douche use the mighty wouldn't shut up breath.

[Soundfrequency]

I can't take this seriously because he keeps squeaking :<

[321JeRoMe123]

Oh how I wish I knew that... D=

[ShiaMuslim4lyfe]

Another Muslim Martial Art Alhamdulilah

[timoxe]

a lot of good information in this form.....very interesting indeed....

[gongbu]

nice...looks like not lot power...but if get hit by him, he knock teeth out.

[idavid24]

:19  holy shit

[papageorgio123123]

ditto

[FamilyQuan]

Silence ignorant one; piglet breath is one of the seven legendary animal breath gongs of ZangZhu mountain quan, inherited by only a handful of martial arts masters and styles, the others being toad, lark, deer, lizard, woman and of course, fish. Learning these special gongs gives pratitioners the ability to withstand all manner of locks, smothers, chokes or throttles. Please show more respect in future.

[airforceallie]

great lol

[MaBu888]

locks, smothers, chokes or throttles.  Im dying here...

[MaBu888]

Wrong minus. Gotta take stuff in cotext. In this context at least.

[6arcsn1sky]

I just wish Sega AM-2 should had added a pi gua quan fighter in the Virtua Fighter 5's remake since Akira does bajiquan.

[airforceallie]

yeah that would be cool, but pai does some pigua moves with her crane style. also helena from dead or alive uses pigua and so does xiaoyu from tekken, so in my opinin they need to bring out a style that most people haven't seen yet.

[6arcsn1sky]

Actually, the name of Pai's art literally means "blue swallow" though her art is actually a part from Shaolin kung fu. Yes, Xiaoyu is the first 3D fighter to use pi gua quan, but she uses ba gua zhang as her additional arsenal. As for Helena, I consider her the sole user of pi gua quan. Still, I really wish for Sega-AM 2 to add their own pi gua quan user for the series because bajiquan and pi gua quan are like the yin yang in my opinion.

[lazaga777]

@airforceallie yeah maybe like...let's say wing chun.

[MASoulChild85]

@6arcsn1sky pai of virtua fighter does some pi gua quan if you guys haven't notice some of her move-sets...

[6arcsn1sky]

@MASoulChild85 Yeah, I know she has some palm strikes. However, I wouldn't jump into conclusion since piguaquan and yanqingquan look very different.

[SecretSword]

this is awesome!!!!!

[airforceallie]

glad u like it! this form is great to learn too; one of the best forms i've seen offered on VCD even though it's one of the hardest to follow.

[colopity]

He's great, thanks again for the post. Fantastic to see genuine traditional wushu styles!
