Li Ziming in japan 2

[chickenbento]

@gt500cowboy The demonstration that we have had the privilege to witness in this clip is an example of the beauty that can be achieved when one sees temporal borders and nationalities for what they truly are; illusion.

This master is demonstrating a truth that I, for want of knowing the proper chinese equivalent, would refer to as 合気. A concept and philosophy that transcends language. Peace and love to you, my Chinese brother and I hope that one day we have the chance to "push" hands together.

Howcome so many of these Chinese Internal arts master of the last century went over to Japan ?

@bigfatdick5000 Well, I think he was invited by one of his disciples in Japan.

With all due respect to the Grand Master, there is a application with the sword that would be very dangerous to even try to execute at 0:39. Using the hands to brush will probably get yourself stabbed as the sword is longer than you arms. One miss and your dead. I wouldn't even attempt to practice that application. What do you think?

[wugongfr]

@bigfatfoot You are absolutely right this technique can be very dangerous and would require a lot a dexterity to accomplish. But again those techniques are very advanced ones and performed here as a demonstration by Li ziming at the age of more than 80 years old.

To perform such techniques you need to master your center and the one of your opponent ;)

Ja, és ez azzal jár, hogy O Sensei fejed lesz, mint ennek a kínai bácsinak :)

Actually this video was taken in the dojo of his japanese disciple Sato Sensei. And it's pure bagua no aikido ;)

Li Zi Ming was one of the greats for sure. Thanks for sharing. I wonder whatthe Japanese must have thought of this "aikido" demonstration though... :-D
