  • such fluent movements

  • cong fu hou li nah hu li yi yang tai lu scheng yin oh li lun xiang fu seu ge wo khan hsiang kschang shchuo tien wei scheng guo schu tong nah oh chi hai

  • such fluid and intertwined motions... Looks very precise form of attack 

  • it looks pretty but why do they walk in a circle?

  • @Bzdi138 circular motion builds momentum, the goal is to circle around the enemy but keep facing them and stay locked onto them, the rotation allows for very free mechanical addition of forces. when someone walks around someone, they present a different side of themselves to the person they walk around, in bagua, they do not do this, they remain facing the enemy as they circle and they only face a different way while rotationg into an attack or a counter. Each move is a defense/counter/attack

  • Incredible.

  • Yin style's not so common. It's a pleasure to see this one, dude performing it is damn good.

  • is there a lil mantis in this cuz i kind of looks like there is by some hand motions

  • thabk you for posting this video!! truly great!! I love it!

  • Where and how do I learn this? Any schools in Florida?

  • he is dancing not fighting. that person who learn bagua i am sure he cannot apply

  • you are talking and not dancing nor fighting

  • I walk slowly and concentrate on body mechanics. As is my usual there's no rush.

  • yooo do i need 2 know kung fu or sum oder martial art to 2 learn baguazhang???????

  • nope

  • not at all, originally the "founder" of bagua wouldn't let anyone above master level learn it, and the differen't practitioners brough their own styles to the plate, thus the differen't emphases of the differen't styles, but now it doesn't matter. It does help though :D

  • Yes well Tomek that is what I am prepared to do. Tell me when it is convenient to visit and how to reach you.

  • whenever you want, is up to u. send me a pm

  • Tomlang, please would you give me the peformer's address. I would like to study this form of Bagua. Thank you.

  • Wouldn't the world be a boring place if we were all doing the same thing - variety is the spice of life!

  • Amazing, awsome Pa Kua. Since you take Baguazhang I'm assuming you're a practicer of Xingyiquan, if so you should upload them.

  • hold hold it hold it guys there is adivision in styles not every one is right but not every one is wrong the steping doen't have to be of one kind these videos just show that there are alot more... if you want to find yourself right study the other 3 too...

  • heel toe steps are lazy steps, or facade steps

  • This is low quality. The stepping is wrong first. When you walk the bagua circle, you step, and then before you set your foot down, extend another 4-5". It should be long, soft, and agile. The palms should be used more efficiently. Rigid, yet flowing, and the movement should never be so slow.

  • hawkeyeke, in Yin style baguazhang, the steps are different than in Cheng style or the other ones; they're shorter...

  • It doesn't make too much sense to generalise about baguazhang, varied as it is. Some people practise circle walking with heel-toe steps, some with muddy steps like you say. And the movement can be as slow as you like, in order to improve the posture and body mechanics.

  • Yes tell us how Baguazhang is supposed to look great master lol. There's so many different training methods in Baguazhang as whole. Therefore ignorantly stating that someone is doing it wrong because you were told do it one way is not very wise. Please think before you speak.

  • watch sun zhi jun if you want to see professional bagua. He is the only one I can find on youtube that is right. Don't talk garbage to me over the internet, that is for ego problems. I simply stated what I thought of this man's bagua

  • I have watched Sun Zhijun many times in fact. What you don't understand is that just because one person walks the circle one way, does NOT mean it is the ONLY way. And I wasn't talking garbage, I was simply stating what I thought of your ignorance.

  • Hawkeyeke: actually Sun Zhi Jun goes against the standard bagua principles in his very low posture walking, because he always exposes the heal of his back foot while taking a step forward. Thats not to say that Sun is not amazing, but just to say that his is not the only way to practice.

    This is great yin style.  If I got the chance I would study with this guy for sure.

  • Kung fu is a lot more subtle than other martial arts, such as TKD which I've done. It's essence flows within the form, kind of like the knife hidden among velvet. Kung fu in all its styles exemplfies the "arts" in martial "arts".

  • what style of TKD do you study, that move in this vid looks nothing like any TKD move I have seen or taught, nor does it lok like something i would try on some one attacking me with a pole. but hey i have been wrong before

  • pause it at 1:14 and that movement is called "the pole grab".its in red belt form in taekwondo except you dont move while your doing it.u stay still.

  • Yeah, its lovely and smooth. I study jiang style and its really interesting to see clips of the others and how they differ.

  • It's very neat to see the style progress as it goes to in speed and difficulty.

  • He has very graceful and flowing foot work, a very beautiful style.

  • well... if this guy wants to fight with this.. he got no chance actually.. the way he moves his legs.. i mean his kicks show that hes not able to kick powerfull enough..

  • It's just a form, it's meant to be circular and smooth. In combat you of course wouldn't move like that, but this is about the flow, not speed or power.

  • yea but in kung fu combat is almost never practiced

    90% of everything u learn is forms and until kung fu fixes this problem kung fu guys will continue to get beat by other MA's

  • Kung Fu is probably the least combat oriented in its use, likely because of its incredible heritage, it's almost evolved beyond that. Kung Fu isn't about who can fight the best or who can beat the most people up anymore, it's not really necessary, it's about self improvement and carrying on the heritage of the style for most people and the honor in that.

    If you want combat Kung Fu, you train in iron fist where you can kill someone with one hit, shattering their insides.

  • Quite different than Yin i studied. The palm shape and angle is more like Cheng style. Fingers should not point up so much.

  • i like it!
