Meditative Exercises of Shaolin Martial Arts : Baduanjin Qigong Exercises 7 & 8

[yyekcim]

For those who are interested, this is the more "wushu-like" of BaDuanJin. More focusing on the external to look good.

[punkrocka27]

this... this... this... this... then this...

[hvypetals]

man ive been doing this series of excercises for a month now and my punching power has increased a lot. its really something special

[NinjaStifler]

this brings strenght to the body?

[yyekcim]

@NinjaStifler Inner strength.

[hvypetals]

thank you so so much sir

[FightingWarrior]

It's all Bullshit, Shaolin was destroyed many time ago, this is circus and business for poor informed fanatics.

[something2424]

@FightingWarrior you fail at life more than anyone I have ever known.

you aren't even worth arguing with.

[FightingWarrior]

@something2424

O yeah, go fuck yourself with your fake bullshit

[something2424]

@FightingWarrior ooo now I'm sad. shaolin isn't about fighting it is about discipline and new states of mind. And I don't do it. so how is it my "fake bullshit"?

[FightingWarrior]

@something2424

Your first answer says everything

[monterx1]

@FightingWarrior To be honest you sound like a smug jerk who is under the illusion that they are always right, no matter what, and that the world is blind to what you see is so clear. Well let me say that your aren't a genius who keeps to himself, you are a complete idiot at best. So you may think that these videos are just a way of him being able to make money from a once sacred tradition, but your wrong, and even is he is it doesn't mean Shaolin is dead and "fake bullshit"

[monterx1]

@FightingWarrior Also your last comment didn't make any sense, you said his first answer says everything, so are you agreeing with him that you are not worth arguing with, and that you are a fail at life? But anyways my point is, shut up, turn around, and never comment on any of these videos again and save yourself the humility. Plus your probably thinking that the only reason I am defending this is because I am a fanatic or asian, but I am neither, so suck on them apples!

[FightingWarrior]

@monterx1

We are arguing about nothing, Shaolin is extinguished since 1641, the reconstructed tourist temple is about 30 years old, so this pseudo practices and "monks", all commercial bullshit from the last years, using some historical proven NAME to sell everything like this fake Baduanjin frome the video...

One detail, baduajin never had anything to share with Shaolin, it has some taoist root...

[yyekcim]

@FightingWarrior BaDuanJin was practised by shaolin monks. The monks where not only buddist, but taoists aswell.

[something2424]

@something2424 you are such a failure man. i don't even understand you, what first answer?

[Nautilus1972]

There are no Tibetan monks in China you nonce.

[jeenyusaut]

@Nautilus1972 No?

[walatalalaw]

It's weird, I learned a different series of segments, that were a little longer...

[kraszavitca]

feel the enregy field aroud ur palm, and fist

[Khievin7]

..Yeah if you meditate alot you can control your chi..this is true to me because when i perform board breaking, i was nervous because i was doing in front of a big audience..then i focused more on my chi more..by focusing i started to feel detached from this world for a moment..everything went blank and the only things that existed was me and the boards in front of me, behind me, and next to me...it was like i was in another realm..then i broke all of them and then the room went wild....

[Lastixen]

i practice the horse stance every morning...and i can jump 1 meter (vertical jump)...!!!!

[oscie1]

Just to let everyone know the most important part of the training (energy and mind training and correct breathing method ) have been left out. So another big thumbs down for another worthless qigong video

[bootlegprod]

@oscie1 Leave it to "Expert" Village...

[AbattoirDream]

holy shit this is KILLER! lol

[PiinoyAzztig]

r u guys freaking high? u cant learn shoalin kung fu by watching all these videos from youtube.

[ghostdog7575]

@PiinoyAzztig this vid is not "teaching shaolin kung fu" but just the "eight section brocade" that is simply HEALTHY!

You can't become a "chef de cuisine" specialized in italian or french cuisine watching youtube. But if you watch how to prepare a good "pasta" and practice everyday you'll probably be able to cook a good one after a while... Just it!

[leichnahm]

@ghostdog7575 wow :D made my day

[bootlegprod]

@PiinoyAzztig or much of anything useful from Expert Village...

[joshua78874]

this?

this?this?

[soslabass]

that bring what dat movs?

[LegendaryDamon]

will this hurt someone if i went to punch them if i went to practise everyday? and does it last throughout the day or you got mediate then instantly before fighting?

[leroysky96]

This is great!

[freemangreen06]

Another thing this monk should point out is that when you reach out your arms, exhale; when you pull back your arms, inhale. The reason why it is called qigong is that you should breathe correctly along your movement of arms and legs.

[always4445]

thank you for your teaching and the sharing , may heaven and heart bless you !!!!!!

[always4445]

thank you for sharing this video  , may heaven and heart bless you !!!!!!!!

[6211945]

Expertvillage, thanks and best regards for You.

[spawnfreak61]

thank you very much im studying to be a qigong master this is a great start thank you very much and i will do these 3 times a day every day thank you agian.

[lluviasuperacida]

esteemed master, thanks for sharing your knowledge. best regards!

[hairbandchick1976]

These were all great. I thoroughly enjoyed them and will add them to my daily practice.

[caribbguy]

Very Nice and to the point

[bigfatdick5000]

These Baduanjin movements shouldn't only be physical movements , there should be alot more going on "internally" as well.

Otherwise it'll be no difference from regular excercises.

[bigfatdick5000]

I am planning to start practicing these 8 series of Baduanjin everyday for the next 33 years.

I wonder what will I turn into after that.

[paywaga]

@bigfatdick5000 u wil hav a big fat dick! XD

[msteeven]

when you're "raising to the sky" what are you supposed to inhale when you go up and exhale when you come down?

[Ilisity]

@msteeven I do tai chi so I'm not a 100% but it's normal in tai chi to exale on the way down and it cerntainly feels a lot more natural .

[erdyberdybeedy]

Yes. As you exhale your chi flows outward with your arms going up. You inhale on the way down bringing you chi back toward your middle tan tien

[creep232]

I think this guys full of chi, in my opinion.

[TaeIeon]

I used to do the whole eight segments in the mornings, I i have to tell you that it's a killer on the legs (because of the horse stance), and you really feel more eneretic after a while of doing this continously

[DeadManCompany]

I practice shaolin kung fu, and there are more stances, like snake or eagle, with the horse stance its a killer exercise, and youre absolutley rigth, it really makes one feel more energy and discipline :D

[peaches4bitches]

@DeadManCompany You are right. But i think that snake, eagle, crane, monkey, mantis, ect are systems, with their own stance. The horse stance, or Ma Bu, is an excercise in order to make your legs stronger, and you do get discipline and energy when you do it right. Greetings from Greece, wing chun system. :)

[argentiniximo]

i dont know why so much critizising this exercize is athentic to charge your self of chi energy

[hopesyfears]

I don't elieve it's a real shaolin master or even student...

I have certan time without practicing Qigong... but i'm actually sure this thing here... is a lie... I don't believe in this guy dressed up like a "real shaolin monk"

What a shame people from asia make fun of their own cultural knowledge.... Qi Gong should be treated ad a serious subject.

[zakli123]

i agree!

[Zerjionet]

whatever...I don´t who is this guy, I don´t know if he´s the best/worst, i know he´s teaching what he learn, can you do the same?

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

Well, this seems to be ba duan jin... how well or not he teaches... I don't know. But the detail is very low... he doesn't eplain the breathing at all.

[ridicule401]

if he teaches he a master idiot

[godzac]

Read the info and look at his other videos.

[TaeIeon]

look at his website

[thesirenwakes]

I love these videos. He is helping 'us' get started with the meditative exercises. He shows us the movements and tells us how to breath. If you cant figure out how to control your mind and energy and have to be shown that... well... then maybe you do need some real help... HA... silly inept people who have to slam and down others to make themselves feel better... *shakes head*

[philipw2005]

I would like to know :

Where is the Meditative Exercise ??

All movements are External Action.

Real QiGong is our chinese few thousands years' wisdom which indicates how to RELAX our brain and body at the foundation for Long-life training.

KungFu QiGong is a gymnastic exercise but not for Long-life training.

Philip

[Zeratassadar]

Sounds to me like someone needs to study up before misrepresenting and thus disgracing the "thousands years' wisdom" of his own culture.

[philipw2005]

Hi Zeratassadar

This is a good chance to share some information on the youtube.

QiGong was created by whom or where it came from? I think noone knows nowadays.

But, there are some informations which can be found today.

One of the most important and Famous Ancient Books about health and healing had written down around two thousands years ago.

This book named 皇帝內經 is a medical book which was normally stored in our Great Palace (Now: National Palace Museum) for our Emperor only.

[philipw2005]

This book must be learnt by Palace internal Chinese Doctors in taking good care for our China Emperor (King) in these thousands years.

We are very lucky to have a chance to study this book today.

It is taking about the balance of the universe, the balance of nature and the balance of the body.

The Spirit inside this book which we treat as original ChiGong indicates:

When all Medicine and Acupuncture are not work for our king.

Our King should train himselve by some simple concepts.

[philipw2005]

The concepts state that :

To train internal silence ;

Standing silently alone ;

Forget all the things happening around ;

Muscles and Whole body united ;

Breathing wonderful like without breathing.

The body then will turn to healthy again gradually.

(The about concepts are also from other very famous medical book also.)

So, we can know that these are from our thousands years widom which was coming fm our Chinese Great Doctors in our chinese history.

[philipw2005]

At last, Ofcourse, we can not confirm QiGong had come from our Great Chinese Doctors in the development or Not.

But. it is highy to be believed.

Besides, fm another point of view, all external movements especially talking about ' Jin ' are not healing and long-Life QiGong. They are treated as special exercises or Martial Art .

Philip

[Electronic9J]

you should know internal reflects external "stillness while moving..." my meditation involves chanting,gestures,and internal/external awareness on out/in breath. phillipw2005 you must not anticipate a long life because time is space: the hands of a clock are like people and places that influence you.if you care for the land it will yield fruit for you therefor the energy you send out comes back to you eventually

[philipw2005]

Hi Electronic9J

I am honesty to tell you that Your Concept about "stillness while moving" is totally Wrong. Yr brain's cells need to send large amount of electric impulse to the muscles for contraction and relaxation in order to do any movement of the body. That means you are not stillness "internal silence". Yr brain has large amount of work load. Please don't fool yourself or totally believe what tradition's teaching.

Somehow, they are wrong!

Please visit my site for more infor.

Ph

[Electronic9J]

you are very smart philipw2005.I believe in the unity of things.clouds,glaciers,rivers,­lakes,and blood are all phases of H2O.you said that when you strike you become a human sword.i say the cosmos becomes my strike and yours.we share the impulse of all electricity.all rivers reach the ocean.I appreciate your logic anyway

[1PostPoMoMaN1]

Several brain states are possible during special forms of qi gong, not just beta for muscle work, but also theta for energy perceptions and delta and alpha for a pure sense of witnessing, so Electronic9J ain't that wrong...

[atammarco]

bdix69, please don't take him bad, yes, originally this exercise was meant to strenghten the body of soldiers, nowadays it's s mainly used for phisical well being...since it stretches out all the main meridians and promotes chi's flow. this is the base of the martial practice at the same time, tai chi is completely founded on this kind of exercises, wai dan and nei dan exercises....specifically this is a wai dan exercise.

[ifawole]

Thank you for posting this!!!

[PlanetQigong]

try it!!!

[bdix69]

no it useless. try this to some one in the mma and see what happens.

[lkmeg]

sut up m8 u dont know wht ur talking about this is chi gong exercises not self defence or for use in combat the shaolin use shanshou for combat look it up m8 n dont talk bout shit u dont know

[amfss350]

They guy should read what is in the tilte of the clip... qi-gong excersises.. hey there it is no kung fu at all

[RadicalBeatrix]

It's not for fighting, it's for meditation and relaxation. QiGong - literally translated - means "breath work" or "energy work." It has nothing to do with combat.

[BTC141]

These are stretches bone head. It's got nothing to do with the MMA.

[bdix69]

your gay just like the cock sucking exercises. what are these for??? it is ment for fighting no matter how you want to look at it. if its not then why is it making you practice your punches...dumbass

[BTC141]

Boy you really are fucking dense! I can't believe I'm explaining this to you a second time. Listen up, these are plyometeric stretches done in repetition to build muscle memory as well as coordination. Through repetition these stretches and exercises become easier and easier. I wouldn't suggest standing in the horse stance in a fight unless you want your ass kicked. Horse stance strengthens your back and legs.

[BTC141]

This monk is moving slow for the benefit of those wanting to learn the stretches. In a fight the monk's punches would be moving a lot faster with accuracy. You want to practice these punches so when it comes time to fight you're gonna be automatically throwing the punches in your opponent's face without a second thought. The emphasis is also on repetition of practice.

[bdix69]

i like how you try to prove me wrong then prove me right in just two post.

i understand what your are saying but now read what you post again, then read what i posted...hummm think about it.

ti-bo is a exercises as well but it was meant for fighting same as this.... like i said think about it.

[BTC141]

Sure, most martial arts exercises are going to have some element of strike either punching or kicking but through repetition the student gains knowledge and mastery.

[bdix69]

i rest my case

[BTC141]

LOL, give me a break!

[YawBStoopit01]

wonderful informative

[prrrrecious]

this guy's awesome. His instructions are clear and simple. :) I'm so starting this regimen.

[BladeMafia]

lol this is a very very good exercise, try this dudes,it`s cool :D  shaolin monks are the best ;))

[cwsnipes]

Wow. I just did all of the Eight Silken Movements eight times for the first time, and it is an amazing workout. I plan to meditate from 4:30 to 5 in the morning, then do these excersises and go on my day. But I need some help. Am I supposed to clear my mind when I meditate or meditate on my existance in the universe?

[lovro87]

Relax, keep posture, and concentrate on your breathing.

[lordwhite0]

My name is Bruce Webb, I have been practicing a few out of 72 Arts of Shaolin, at least 2 different skills for each body part (skill for groin/ drawing in yin, diamond finger/ pulling out nails, twin lock [Shuang Suo Gong]/ the pole of a falling star [Liu Xing Shuang]). Many more besides this I have a training scedule worked out to do 36 out of 72 excersises including all the "light body" ones. I hope to learn from Sifu (Master) Shi Yan Hui befor I turn 18 (I'm 16 now). I am in Canada, NFLD.

[Xaznhotguy4lifex]

do you know master Shi Yan Hui? This guy here is master Shi Yan Hui, i've seem his performance here in the us.

[freshmuzic]

Ok so can you give me some training tips for speed strength stamina balance flexibility iron head and body and you know?

[coolguysingleman20]
