Kaiji Pigua Zhang

Pigua Zhang form 2. In the Kaiji system there are only 3 long forms of Pigua. This is the second and is named simply "Pigua Zhang."

Please do not use my videos as learning tools. Find a training video or something. I am just a student, and all my forms still have many issues.

I ran out of space in the front. please excuse that.

Where are you learning at? hong kong ?taiwan?

[ace52387]

U.S. actually. I don't think i've learned anything that can't be shown to other people. I was always under the impression that forms like this are pretty much for demonstration purposes.

[marlenegarcia91]

omg soo good!

it reminds me of ling xiaoyu from tekken.=)

love it!

[ace52387]

haha i remind you of a 16 yr old girl? That's so flattering.

[Donvon]

Yay.... "The way of chop-hanging fist".

I wish I could do that but I can't. Hmm.... what will happen if Pigua Zhang is mixed with Hakkyoku-ken? They say that it would be catastrophic but I haven't seen the real thing in motion

[ace52387]

It's one of those exaggerated hooks :p. Hakkyokuken is Baji in Chinese, and a lot (i want to say most but i'm afraid to) of people practice them together. So in reality, this is pigua with a baji flavor. Those wuxia like poems about how certain principles or styles of martial arts can conquer the heavens really shouldn't be taken too seriously.

this is almost exactly what my dad was showing me before we went off to the wushu competitions in NYC, Kaiji pi gua is nice, but I never got around to learn it, i prefer the KaiJi Zhui Hun Zhang or the Nine Lian Jie, more fluid and a little softer. but this is really interesting, didn't know people practice Kaiji Quan in other parts of the world.

[guansaimon]

Wow, awesome whipping power. Damn Youtube, for making want to study every style of kung fu!

[RaderizDorret]

@ace52387 Interesting video. I'm a karate-ka and this is definately different than what I do. Doesn't make either style good or bad, though. One thing that I noticed is that you move behind your techniques i.e. not leading with your chin. Another thing I saw were your weight shifts moving your center off the line of attack before you advance in as well as aggressiveness in dealing with a threat. It's amazing what similarities can be found between two vastly different styles of martial art.

@spikemore The hell would you know...? Post some videos of yourself flawlessly executing a form before going around casually pronouncing "fail" on other people's vids.

[hcrubbocaj7]

you said that was the second form? what other forms are there?

[coreysomething]

Good intensity. I can tell that there is Pigua flavor from your movements and your level of exhaustion at the end of the video. However...there's a decidedly non-Pigua tanginess which I find unsettling. Neat nonetheless.

[spikemore]

sorry but fail no flow strange pauses work on it

[MikhailShuravi]

Is it tongbei pigua from master Guo Dafa?

[wert697]

very nice. i can see that your form is fairly solid. not having much experience with pigua, i must ask: i saw much emphasis on attack and little on defense, is that how pigua works?

[silentfist862]

It looks like you're just waving your hands everywhere.... do you fight with a form like this or is it to loosen your shoulders or what?

[pineapplelump333]

This is Helena's fighting style in DOA

[renixxx]

Lei Wulong style from tekken is Zui Quan (Drunken Boxing) and 5 Form Kung Fu

[jigokunoshinigami]

Not true, Pigua and Tongbei are often taught together. Same with Pigua and Baji. Still not the same style.

[tengrigim]

pigua = tongbei

[tormentga]

could anyone tell me where I could learn pi qua quan. :D

[icesamurai8]

Yeah he does use Piguaquan (Witch is like Baguazhang to me) and many many more fighting styles but this still looks like Pi Qua Quan.

[Dr34am3r]

Lei Wulong.

But Ling uses Piguaquan and Baguazhang.

[icesamurai8]

the more i look at this i can't stop thinking of that cop from tekken the video games.

[icesamurai8]

i see thank you

[paerarru]

This is Pi Qua Quan with some Ba Ji Quan, as the two are complementary and go together.

[Silentium13]

Oops, I meant "Pi Gua seems to emphasize circling on a vertical plane"

[Silentium13]

I've also often wondered if Ba Gua (8-Trigrams) and Pi Gua (Axe-hitch) can be merged... it does seem that Ba Gua emphasizes circling on a vertical plane, while Ba Gua ephasizes circling on the horizontal plane, so maybe it could work out after all. The stancing is totally different though, probably need to put in alot of thought to modify the stancing so that the practitioner doesen't fall over because of faulty balance.

[icesamurai8]

Is this Pi Qua Quan

[cfG21]

who says guns aren't a part of the martial arts? martial means pertaining to war. Art means self expression. martial arts means a soldier or warrior who expresses themselves through war. I think gun training should be part of martial arts curriculum also.

[MASoulChild85]

Pi Qua Quan is legendary..

and it looks like their is baji quan put into the form even though the styles are their own seperate branches of kungfu. I guess since Baji Quan is good for short range, if they are complementary; it sort of implies Pi Qua Quan is longer range and just about everything Baji Quan isn't... or complete each other in stats

As of right now, I only do Baji Quan by itself.
