[TheMartialartsJedi]

great stuff

[wowitGabe]

@taipingvlg i totally agree with you but after a while don't you think that your students should be able to punch with in the push hands but other then that she she

[taipingvlg]

@wowitGabe Please do some research on Tai Chi push-hands exercise.  In this kind of exercise, no punch is allowed.

[wowitGabe]

@taipingvlg i have and i understand why but it dose help feel the intent of the opponent if they strike

@gqprophet2010 how about he turns with your jab hyper extending your joints and uplifts your hooking punches elbow as he goes into a sinking elbow-head butt transition while hooking your lead leg with with his foot dislocating your knee as he walks right through you.as you lay there with a broken jab elbow,sprained shoulder,and bad knee you can ponder that losers always fall on the ground.but hey you have one good leg to crawl away with.

@taipingvlg ?I observed an ancient martial art with no baring's in todays world being practiced ... Martial arts are for self defense no ? Or for some , is it to appear as if you could defend yourself from an attacker with beautiful choreographed moves the wow and awe any bystanders ?

I just dont get training in a martial art could not save my life or the safety of my family ..

[taipingvlg]

@gqprophet2010 I agree with you that no one should learn useless "martial arts." But, in this particular video, there are no "beautiful choreographed moves". Every move is spontaneous and based on the reaction of the opponent. This is just a sensitivity training exercise. By the way, for thousands of years, Chinese martial artists practice forms. The forms should not be the only things one trains but they are an important part of the training.

Wonderful. Much respect to the teacher.

static fajin is such a contradictory name lol. fajin can't be static as it is very dynamic

[taipingvlg]

To imbrd: Here, "static fajin" exercise means the opponent remains static and rigid. He/she serves only as a "static weight" or "punching bag".

The time has come to see. I'm going to check it out this summer I'm looking for Bagua? wudang tai chi. Do the art and see what is me to work on for me. What works for me in this arts. It' s time!

very nice demonstration of fixed step push hand! thumbs up!

[juli3tlovesRom3o]

It's refreshing to see a true martial arts demonstration unlike the phony "McDojo" junk that seems to be so popular nowadays. A grand video that shows great insight into internal martial arts.

I enjoy internal martial arts videos that apply these principles to people of different sizes.

There are too many videos I see where a big fat walrus-like "internal master" is pushing around a skinny student who's shorter than them, and whether or not it's internal begins to be hard to tell.

When a man who is both shorter and outweighed is effortlessly controlling the action like in this video, then some argument as to internal skill can be made. Keep this up!

[gamma235]

Good point WarriorBoy. I'm also tired of internal systems having to justify their existence to proponents of external fighting systems. Shouldn't we just appreciate the good things that people have done?

[lpdlchewy]

This video is fun to watch. I especially like the various strategies employed by Sifu Lin to uproot his opponents in response to their differences in attacks, size, etc.

[emptybowlfullbelly]

I think this is my favorite pre-heaven power video so far. More dynamic exercises like response hands shows more of the application behind pre-heaven power and can give more explanation to the viewer. Hopefully it can be regarded with a more open mind instead of the skepticism that other people have voiced when commenting previous videos. Anyway, good stuff. Maybe in the future it will catch on more to a wider field of practitioners.

Superb demonstration of using a strong structure, listening, and yielding to your opponent to disrupt their balance. Your movements are very small and yet very effective. Another top notch video of the use of true internal martial arts power.
