晉中形意拳 之四

明清之際，一個叫的姬際可人無意在一破廟發現了半卷《武穆遺書》， 並由此創建了內家拳的第一個拳種——形意拳。 此後，這半卷《武穆遺書》一直作為形意拳的鎮派之寶被傳下去。 金庸在他的名著《射雕英雄傳》裡就用了這個典故，

Is the style being represented in this video Xing Yi Quan? Otherwise known as Hsing-I Chuan? I can't understand a single word, but it looks like they are doing Xing Yi Quan forms and moves in this video. Does anyone know if that is Xing Yi?

[lionriver]

Yes, that is Xing Yi Quan

[Splitentry]

Do I understand it correctly, that the man in the first 2 minutes is 60 years old ? Respect !

[lionriver]

yes, he is in his 60s.

lion river can we get a translation in english please? thx for any help in this matter. btw the 1st sifu was very, very good. thx for sharing

[lionriver]

i wish i could translate it for you, but i am afraid my english is not good enough to do that well. it is about its history and how it was known and learnt by more and more people. and today in some villages of china, there are still many people who like to practice it.

The first and only example of realistic hsing-i fighting I've seen on YouTube.

Love the old guy's way of moving in deep and continuous attack.

A lot of martial arts style lack that aspect/training.

The form is kind ugly, but effective and powerful.

[shifudan]

@runetang this guy is in my opinion che or dai style, moves just like our family of xinyi/xingyi from taigu. notice the rounded back as opposed to hebei straight back power. we teach this method throughout the USA

[sdjnwhyNZ]

這些招法挺狠的。很實用！

An oldie anchback man astonishing a pickpocket with some claw of those...this is the cruel reality of real kung fu skills. Against an "informed" fighter in a sport match is meaningless and useless.

[moguy128]

Okay I don't care about what ppl these days say about how effective this MA is at fighting, because let's be honest here... we have guns. You have to admit, that this old dude is really, really fricken impressive. You see those sandbags he was hitting? Holy shit... imagine your grandpa doing that... wow...

[littlecannon]

bourbakis... I hit the thumb down by mistake... your comment is spot on. Sorry

[himalayanspirit]

Well, not exactly. If a xingyi fighter is fighting someone who is not of the same level or experience, then what you said would apply. However, if the xingyi man is fighting someone with equal experience in a similar or same art (xingyi, bagua etc), then the video I showed would apply. That is certainly sparring, but that is still quite closer to reality.

[himalayanspirit]

Well, not really. This is awesome. But there is another more better example of a real xingyi fight. Check this video out:
