[RagingUtai]

alot of these movements are in xingyiquan. i think they are were once the same martial art. both liniear and direct with spring like movements.

[jingang]

I don't think so. Different powers and body structure.

[RagingUtai]

Not really. xinyiquan has several different body movements and powers depending on which of the 12 animals is being used. I also read somewhere online that baji also meant the same word as xinyi at one stage, im trying to find the link. I was reading through wikipedia and suprisingly both systems have a person who were legends because of their spear use,which have been incorpprated into those systems.

[jingang]

Shen qiang 神枪 is a very common nick name for people who were good with the spear. Both in Xingyi and Baji there were practitioners with that nick name. than again there is a difference between the spear play in the two arts.

[brucenatelee]

I don't really know much martial arts (karate for 6 months, judo for 7 weeks, bando for 6 months, etc.) but what surprises me is that he is 100 years old and moves like a 20 year old. Now THAT is what I call grandmaster-like.

[jingang]

Grandmaster Shen Jiarui is only 65. Wu xiufeng is not in the video (already passed away)

[WarriorBoy]

Smooth, sudden, and defined movements with lots of power. This is some of the better Baji I've ever seen. Top quality.

[taoistwarrior]

Nice speed and power the gentlemen haves for his age

[Dobbersky]

nice

[soerism]

and he stops exactly where he starts.... crazy...

[bluehavencd]

Are you sure it's not a young man in his 30's in make up to look old??? The movement, is so fluid, quick and snapping.

[Discord12]

@taoistwarrior

Not only for his age =)

[vampire9753]

i wouldn't want to get hit by him

[THORTHETHUNDERER]

Damn if this guy is still alive he's 103, talk about arts of the immortal sages yay!!!! :D Wish I could go to China land of my HAN PEOPLE to hang out and learn Baji from these masters of life, instead I'm stuck in N.Y.C. in the ghetto lower eastside with crackheads and scumbags smoking weed all day/night who plague the city with crime...

[patbirder]

Impressive and powerful! Thank you for posting this.

@RagingUtai There is a link between Xingyiquan and Bajiquan, there both are known as muslem kung fu styles or chanquan/ long fist. In Xing yi chuan the Master ji longfeng was known as the Divine spear and in Baji chuan the master LI Shuwen was known as God of spear Li, the link maybe the religion of the people that practice it.

[SilverMoon1134]

my favorite martial art :D
