I wish when I'm reach 76(or71) years old, I can look like these old gentlemen. Good health and good movement ability.

wow, see all the "microjing" in the second master's performance? Amazing....

I am very happy you put "realistic" in quotation marks, because properly understood MMA is still a sport; the closest that any sport can be to actual combat without law suits, but a sport with rules nonetheless.

And to agree with your other comment, MMA fighters have a five year career, generally speaking, then they are physically broken men.

[Allen2saint]

Yeah, I wonder what the MMA guys will be doing in their 80's? Not moving like this, I'm sure. I'll take the long term benefits of this type of training over their "realistic" training any day.

The second master is Li Guichang, student of Dong Xuisheng. He was a very highly skilled practioner of Xingyi and had many students in Taiyuan. He also served at one time as the vice president of the Shanxi Xingyi Assoc.

Xingyiquan is dangerous on the ground also, as its energies all apply there in other forms. many don't know this. Besides, you take a XYQ man to the ground, you had to get there from a stand up fight, and you probably aren't in very good shape by that time anyway. If he did his job in the standup phase, the ground game is just mop up for him.

Yeah, we have been around for a while, and are very internal, of course. Of course we have stickiness, as we are even probably the stickiest anyway. ;) We want to stay close to the opponent and get him.
