Hsing I XingYi Quan Combat Training Techniques

[michaelrevell]

Very powerful stuff! Nice technique.

[nomamao]

he shows hands, but negates the footwork that makes that "snatch and throw " actually work. I hope he does fix that off camera. lol. Otherwise, this is decent instruction. I like.

[ringfive]

Master Bakari. I appreciate your contribution to xingyi and am inspired by your training ethic.

Xingyi changes with each person who practices it. Someone may or may not perform a particular move the same way because their body makeup is different, much in the same way a big guy does Judo differently than a smaller guy. I've seen guys who practiced their xingyi as rigid and flambouyantly as a Shaolin form. And then I've seen others practice it as if they were borderline drunk. The result is the same so long as they are using their bodies in the efficient and pwerful manner that is xingyi.

[christlicker]

@TakgeyonBlackbelt You're absolutely right. The result is the same.

[wangchentsogyal]

African music is perfect for this practice I always practice TaiJi to it!!

[sickofdao]

what if they duck their head?

[eskabo]

Awesome training. Wish you were in San Francisco!

[TheScouseExile]

fantastic applications! ive been shown most of these techs by varius goju ryu instructors over the years. but this seems a little more natural.

[CrossMr78]

good combat drill! it remembers me a little bit of the chi sao and pak sao method wing chun system used to applicate

[Jubeski]

Training Xingyi w music in the background, that should tell you viewers that this is not true Xingyi.

[hazyinseptember]

Great video.. I was sceptical after viewing a few videos on here but this is the real deal. Makes me jealous and want to get back into Hsing-I training..

[BadPastGoodFuture]

1:38 is PI Quan xingyiquan one of the elements

2:20 is zhang Quan one of the elements

etc etc etc

[michahberta]

not always hate if ur cup is empty.been doing hsing i for 32 years I just dont see bear shoulders or hip and leg movment from anyone.Sorry I just dont see it

[Ex0pere0perat0]

This video was interesting to me...I see how the style is trained in a school; opposite at times of how I was taught, but all good. Opposite is good. *bows*

[divineserpent]

MightySunTzu-

I have been fortunate enough to train with Master Bakari in Santa Monica

when he taught while my master was away. He knows his stuff. why does it shock you that a "black guy" has jing? anyone with potential and the right training can develop jing.

[KnightsofTrueNorth]

@divineserpent

Just because he mentioned the gentlemen's ethnicity doesn't mean he was being prejudiced in anyway, he might have merely been specifying that he wasn't speaking with regards to the white guy on camera. It's just as prejudiced to hasten for the race card, as it is to diminish another on the basis of ethnicity. In some places mentioning an obvious identifying trait is simply a manner of speach. After all he WAS paying a compliment.

[arbizm]

can I ask what style of Xingyi is this ?

Where are you located?

[elkjin]

this is odd to me in the karate style i learned we pulled the face into our sholder in case we wanted to pick the person up

[arbizm]

@elkjin This is not Karate. It may look similar to you because Karate is based on White Crane kung fu Which is also the basis of many southern styles.

Xingyiquan also uses elements of White crane.

Pi Chuan - Splitting energy .

[edgetak]

Thanks for the video. ! Very good.

[shotojojo1986]

People here are stupid sometimes. Just because the guy isnt asian or whatever, he not suppose to know Kung Fu. Im saying that and Im a traditional Japanese Karate guy. Forget the haters.

[masterbakari]

@shotojojo1986 Thank you for your positive words. Yes! The haters do what they do best... Hate! And they don't know that their negativity is a reflection of who they are!

[kopoguyrs]

@shotojojo1986 But are you asian?

[QuanYin71]

@shotojojo1986 :

agreed on that .

martial arts is not about skin color of culture related issues ....

its about human training to become a good fighter or good person .. nothing wrong with that.

bless you all !

[MightySunTzu]

Yay for basics! basics make the world go round. wow, that black guy actually has a degree of jing, thats really cool.

[VaughnBrogdon121]

I study than vo dao at seven mountains spirit fist in the United States in philadelphia.I have been a student for 7 years I love kung fu. Keep up the good work.

[culebrasty]

Hsing I XingYi Quan ？

[arbizm]

@culebrasty the same

[ipponken53]

Very enjoyable - many thanks. Any idea what the music is?

[TheKemian]

Why are thees bruthas teaching these white boys how to fight?

[Standardfrank]

@TheKemian : hey bro...lol! so this is where u hang out...? yeah....eye love master bakari...he's so fluid....the rason he teaches white-boys is because white-boy always searches for the real thing while niggaz have no interest with their heritage...mb did a european-seminar...did our bros & sstrs turn up? nah...it was white-boy & girl looking 4 spiritual enlightenment while we want crakka imitation!!!

[Argonath357]

@TheKemian Because racism has no place in a martial artists' life.

[archmoth]

@TheKemian Who ever is willing to learn plus he gotta eat and pay bills

[nandansho]

I study Shuri ryu. Tong Gee hsing fought my teacher's teacher. this is very much identical to some of our past technique classes. The last movements looked like Crane Form which i use with Dragon Form.

[hunggarguy]

i practice hung gar and southern mantis (two very dif but complimentary styles). ur gung fu looks like a cross between the 2, its great u have a great short range punch "explosive fa jing". but ur style looks very effective, u have the power of short range with the great rooting of a larger stance. Awesome!

[charkee1]

My teacher would never let me do these exercises until I had perfect form. He insisted that bad habits were much more difficult to unlean than learn good form to begin with. In the end he was right, and I learned much patience with myself.

[Jenfucius]

@NinjatoSama

What is "traditional Hsing-I"???

From what little I know there are many variations.

[Reggie562]

Applications look sound. Instructor is good but students don't use proper alignment. Looking at instructor's body alignment then the students: they miss the power of proper body alignment.

[jenkem23]

@Reggie562 yes, often the student int as good as the Sifu. strange that

[jenkem23]

@Reggie562 Often the student isnt as proficient as the Sifu. strange but true

[egglot12]

great training session!

[WildWhiteDignity]

Good teacher, students attacks don't seem honest enough.

[Tyjobuou812]

Superb Xing-Yi!!!

Thanks for sharing - Ty

[waynehyl]

Xing Yi produced many famous chinese fighters in the past 150 years.

[shooz4u]

Who did or does master bakari studied or studies under? How did he become to know about hsing yi quan?

[DeusSiveNatura1]

Very good teaching and techniques !

[CardonaJason]

Nice to see there are proper trainers out there. Keep up the good work

[malik9211]

how is it different than wing chun. looks pretty much simmilar?

[Bastion83]

different breathing, striking focus, and tactics in many ways.

[calucalu123]

nice video hee now I have new ways to bother my broothers"!!"

[MaBu888]

This punch or block drill I learned it over the SEA In Europe. Who ever says that hands must be down the waste like karate, are wrong (the video is right). My sifu never taught me any forms in xing yi but amazingly I seem to be able to do all the moves shown in this video. I think I do want to learn the forms for these moves. The only forms I do know are contemporary and traditional chang chuan forms (with applications too). Rated 5 by the way.

[UnderclassHero72]

FIRST COMMENT!!!

[Aetherus7]

The ambiance and sincere teaching is very much appreciated. Namaste'

[powerfulpalm]

[Psalm130]

This is the deadliest art in the history of civilization. Most American's aren't familiar with it.
