is this Pigua tradition form for fight or old competition form?

[Mengcunman]

@MasterPedroJoe this is the Cangzhou branch of Pigua. It's traditional Pigua.

yep.... he is a bit older now.... but this is all him !

wow, awesome flexibility. Great vid :)

[Scalier]

When I saw this video the first time, I thought it was modern wushu. Only now I realize this is in fact one of the best pigua fighters I've seen on youtube. His arms are heavy and relaxed, stances are agile and stable but most importantly you can see his focus. If you'd have to fight him, that's how strong and agile he'd be.

@Mengcunman

couse I know this form I learn it when aI was younger. My teacher tell me that its old (cca 50-60 years old) comeptition form. Now I dont know ... some people said its traditional form some people said its old competitin form. ha What now ? :)

It´s just forms, the moves won´t even be recognized in a fight, they become shorter, just like every other normal MA move.

useful to teach one the muscle memory to throw full body power and leverage into a strike, also useful to smash the bones in your own hand because he's not aligning them and your fist's bones are not a flail, they must align properly to break the enemy's body without damaging one's own hand. How many top fighters have had to have surgery on their hand? Fedor Emelianenko for one.

Other than that, good flexibility and fluidity, but those moves are way too telegraphed to hit anything but a novice

Luohan108, I think you're right - wushu isn't just about fighting. I don't in any way use that to mean that the fighting element should be relegated to second place, but it is interesting to hear people demand that Quanshu become something else - such as MMA. It could absorb MMA training methods, but still have wider objectives, such as athletic or gymnastic physical dexterity. I think the modern wushu is technically better than traditional - easily - it just tends to lack practical training.

Ya what style would you use to counter if any at all?
