Not only does this Xingyi exponent move the sword as an extension of his musculo-skeletal system...he does it as though it were "mass-less", (i.e. as if it weighs nothing).
Combine this with his incredibly precise footwork while wielding the Xingyi Jian, he actually moves, changes & has 'intent' that shows he actually knows how to use his Jian both as a real weapon, AND an advanced training & practice tool.
Do you practise xingyi jian? how can you compare xingyi jian and taichi jian. The energy concept is completly different. Give me a good reference and a good explanation, how can you criticise this form. Form me i think it's perfect!
There you will see references from a master-legend on the ways of the sword. Even a Xing Yi Swordsman must be agile, and the verticle swinging motions manifest in the wrist, but originate from the heart.
A great demonstration of Xing Yi Jian. I admire Xing Yi's fast pace and linear movements, it's hard to see the internal aspects, making it all that much harder to read the opponent.
Excellent performance. This individual is really good. His technique is direct and lethal. I didn't truly appreciate the straight sword until I saw this video.

Nah
Basic Chinese sword style - and not particularly good. If the Chinese sword was so good - why did the Japanese cut them to pieces in WWII. They weren't that good! This guy shows about as good as you can expect - just don't think there's much "knowledge"behind it - there's not.
Ugh.. TaoBoxer may have refrained from commenting but I can't. WWII was a war of guns not swords, and one in which horrible atrocities were committed against the Chinese people. Any meeting of swords was an exception and hardly a way to judge the efficacy of the styles. This comment was in remarkably bad taste. I appreciated this clip for it's simplicity and Xing Yi flavor. Thank you to TaoBoxer for posting.
im not impressed with the renditioning of most styles sword play. the closest thing i ever seen to be real sword combat was between mace and old sid in episode three...no crap examine all of the subtlety if you have the magic eye. if not you waste your time
Two things I noticed: 1. His sword "flips" are really quick, changing directions very suavely and deceptively. Nothing too flashy just practical sword moves. 2. The tassle moves I thought looked great, very distracting for an opponent.
I like XingYi Sword, very direct, not like BaGua Sword. I was not too impressed with some of these BaGua sword vids. I might be wrong and I do like and respect Bagua School.
the characters of Wu Shu translate as "to stop/cease conflict". It is commonly translated as martial art cos its term more commonly associated, but i think the literal translation describes the intention of the arts more appropriately.
This is exceptional.

This is very high level.
Is there a Instructional DVD available?

Amazing! Is there a way a student of xing yi could choose to only learn the sword?

Read Xing Yi Nei Gong
The poem on the sword form.

Wushu just refers to martial arts in general for many Mandarin speakers. Literally means martial arts or martial skill.
ShaolinAvenger79 4 years ago
Thought it meant War art or something like that.
Or...wait, same thing.

The term WuShu does mean literally Martial Art, but the modern connotation (especially in the US) is for pure demonstration kung fu.
