  • I was at this demonstration one of the first demonstrations of practical Baguazhang applications shown in the USA. Here we see no Kodak moments, no fancy Wushu just up close and personal application of Combat Skills from Kumar's Bagua. Sam Masich and Kumar are good friends of mine. Sam said and I quote, “It was not rehearsed, I tried to get him, it was like stepping into a blender, there was almost nothing I could do." Thanks for posting this, bring back old memories. John P. Painter

  • look out guys =) serious airbending going on here :P

  • Bagua: the art of stomping the opponent's head once he's on the ground!

  • Mr. Masich is a very experienced and skilled taiji player. Should anyone doubt Mr. Frantzis' mastery this video is proof. One may not wish to like Mr. Frantzis, but one cannot doubt either his brilliance as a martial arts master nor his ability to convey its principles both by action and the written word. He commands respect and emulation.

  • hahahaha id knock that guy right out in martial arts

  • Can't because I don't have one and also don't need to hustle anyone for their money. As for me knowing about Chen style, you are also mistaken on that one. I practice Zhao Bao and am not even that good. But I do know farces when I see and hear them..

  • @jirildo

    Hi jirildo, seems like you have a lot to say lately. Please post a video of proper internal martial arts applications, you seem to know a lot about Chen style surely there are fighters among them? lol.

  • essa arte é igual balé soh funciona quando é insaiado... lixo "linguagem portugues brasil"

  • Don't think so.

    Watch again, his attacks are very clumsy, intentionaly I think
