Chinese lost a true understanding of fighting. All the best went to Taiwan and HK. What is left is self obsessed, insular and lacks practical utility.

[TadzioG]

You are wrong.

Hi !

I think the form is not used to train much your fighting skills such as : timing, angles, entering the guard...

But this form develops many other aspects, used in combat : balance, tendon's power, impact, rooting, flow, relaxation during combat...

If you want, I can show you my xing yi in combat, against anybody. PM me if interested (I live in France though)

[TadzioG]

Forms training and combat training are two different things and have different purposes.

As for your XYQ in combat, I have no special interest in seeing it, lol... but it seems you are willing to show it anyway, so anytime you are in Shanxi you will be more than welcome to stop by and show us what you got.

It is funny to me that when people see one form of a art or style, they assume that it is useless for martial purposes because it does not coincide with there understanding. With that logic, you would assume that someone is incapable from seeing them do push ups or sit ups just because it has no martial application. the weakness u perceive are your own.

I find very interesting the use of his eyes, I do not think it is irelevant to the form, there must be an underlying principle that is expressed with his whole body! He has a kind of intention which is very rare to see martial artists today!

I am not familiar with shanxi style, but I notice that alot of his movement was based on shoulder strength, maybe he got it from piquan.

His limaoshangshu form is very good.

Every time I view this video, my jaw just drops open. Truly wonderful by US standards! What happened to the music though? I quite liked it.

[quaijohncain]

@simonhaleyboy I used to think this myself, that is until I got around a bit. I now find the thought quite laughable.

[drzemeczka]

I think. Very speed punch. When stoped must shake. Sorry for my english :D

Correct me if im wrong but the shaking of his arms would be from tensed muscles right? Because alot of tai chi guys and other martial artist practice with a tensed muscle when doing forms as a type of isometric exercise. I cant tell with the long sleeved shirt.
