This is going to be a response video to Mr. Ksipa, a very exceptional Ba Gua practitioner =3. How to do "holding-&-serving-the-tea-cup" (basics, variations, applications. Of course, in order =3):

Although for the advanced, if the practitioner isn't familiar w/ the basics of the Tea Cup drill, together w/ its applications, trying this would really be very hard, resulting to injury, especially on the shoulders. The applications from this are, again, endless, depending on how a person views martial arts &/or self-defense =3. This is a great exercise for the arms. Often found in soft disciplines, if seriously studied & practiced, it also warms up the spine & help solidify the horse stance (w/c I currently practice).

Personally, believe it or not, I discovered this exercise by accident =/. I was playing w/ the tea cup drill until I decided to just throw in some empty-hand kali/arnis/escrima, boxing, & ba gua hands to see if they can mend. As you saw, it turned out awesome =3. You can obviously see that I made some mistakes when taking this XD. I hope that this video has helped you in a huge way =3.

If you're still confused on how to do this, feel free to send me a PM, & I'll be more than happy to explain it further through the best of my abilities.

God bless you all, always train safe, & take care =3 =D!

NOTE:
I will only reply to those who're advanced in their martial training. To know the basics of this, simply click the link/s on top. That way, you'll understand the basics of it better =3.

The spinning motion is in one of the shotokan katas I can't remember which one, i think it's one of the Heian Katas but i do remember doing that motion.

@LosBats Thank you for watching =D! Some, if not most, of karate's moves are surprisingly similar to Chinese martial arts, given their geographic location to each other =3.
