i'm concerned about the stance during/after entering, many times the aggressor in these exercises ends up heavily weighted on a straight front leg, almost leaning forward (such as 2:27) with a narrow foot placement. does xing yi practice rooting?

[whatisyournameya]

just a quick answer:

concerning the rooting question, it is a very complicated topic, or I can say it is very hard for beginner to understand the real meaning of rooting practice in TMA.

Xing Yi's root concept is much deeper than only static stance....

I would be really interested in who this sifu learned from. Can you tell me whatisyournameya? The school I am training at uses very similar techniques and teaching methods. Most of our XingYi comes down from SunRuXian (also author of two books on the matter - only available in Chinese I am afraid) Maybe we are kungfu cousins?

[whatisyournameya]

Kungfu Cousin???

Do you think I am in that generation???

This teacher is really good. He shows excellent speed and power, and illustrates the effectiveness of xing yi. I'm impressed, if you know what your looking at then this is a gem.

This is a great example of what a skilled instructor has to go through with students. Obviously the instructor has developed 'muscle memory' from years of dilligent practice and his techniques are now second nature. Its tough to translate that to newbies.

I believe most schools who teach internal kung fu. Will teach a external kung fu before an internal kung fu.

I practice karate, but if I should try something else, this might be it :)

@chronocide It's called shin bu and is one of the fundamental stepping patterns of this art, as well as many others. The idea is to explode your power forward onto the front foot and quickly bring the rear underneath you to re-establish ur root. Any real fighter knows that you can have a root no matter what stance ur in. fights dont happen in perfect form. This art is very sophisticated and very effective. And this teacher is the real deal.

I'd love to see this applied in an actual competition.

[lumri2002]

Very practical for fighting but not for sports.

[nanhuazhenren]

Xingyi uses both, first you learn the basics without a partner and when you´ve already gotten used to the movements, you NECESSARILY HAVE TO do it on a partner or you won´t learn the correct timing, distance, power, etc.

[BadPastGoodFuture]

hmm its better to learn it on they air then direct on people cuz in a situation like a fight u will not remember what u need to do

@chronocide

The difference is knowing how to apply the movements in a lively way VS copying shapes from a book.

[chronocide]

@whatisyournameya can you explain to me the advantages to coming so far forward in your stance that you have to step your back leg forward of your lead leg to regain your balance? (such as at 2:27)

[michahberta]

@chronocide of coarse they practice good rooting but these two guys are doing fine,But from a guy who has been doing hsing for over 30 years now.These two are beginers.But I see what you mean cause the teacher is kinda being sloppy as well
