Piguazhang Wulongpanda applications - Mr. Zhou jingxuan

http://swz.weebly.com
Mr. Zhou (周靖轩）explains the applications of wulongpada .

1. as initiated attack.
2. As a defense against an attack.
3.Shoulder folding throw.
4. Contraction of the waist/kua in order to pull the oncoming attack and to spring out a palm attack.

Pi Gua Zhang (literally meaning splitting hanging palm) is one of the most unique martial arts of Hebei province, relatively unknown to the west.

The historical sources of Pi Gua Zhang are quite obscure, but can be generally traced to the Hebei province, somewhere in the 18th century. It is believed that it started as a way of fighting while wearing armor.




Its next important appearance in recorded history is in 1928, When the National Wushu Institute was founded in Nanjing, and Pi Gua Zhang specialist Ma Ying Tu was put in charge of the marital arts department of the Institute. He invited the famous Pi Gua Zhang and Tong Bi master Guo Chang Sheng from Hebei to lecture. The two of them delved into the style adjusting the moves but keeping the essentials and adding speed and explosive power as well as the skills from the 24 forms Tong Bi Quan, and thus creating the more common version of Pi Gua today.




Our line of Pi Gua comes down directly from Guo Chang Sheng, and not from the revised version. As being also an expert of the Tong Bi 24 forms, influences of this style can still be found in our Pi Gua.

this master is OK. I like his techniques, and that is much better then the dancing wushu today.

好民间老师。

[ariesmonk]

beautiful,as well as deadly. i only wish the were subtitles to understand what he saying.

[piguafan]

LOL I think he should do some more research into the style.... Eagle and SNAKE!

Circular and Straight.

This style was a proven battlefield style... and well renowned for it (at the time) was any the styles you mentioned any good at that?

[jingang]

@MasterZhang It seems you ignore my my questions and demand I won't do the same to yours. You lack basic knowledge on human anatomy and martial arts and call yourself a master. You criticize people with knowledge and experience 10 times of yours and think you know it all. There is no point in this discussion, you've already made up your mind, you already KNOW. I wish you best of luck, go bother someone else cause I end it here.

[MasterZhang]

@jingang everything that we have discussed thus far is extremely basic and does not require expert knowledge. So those Sanda Champs of his...how much of what they successfully use is stuff unique to traditional, and how much of it is stuff that is universal because there's only so many ways to move a human body?

please reply to both comments in the same comment, if space permits. It's much easier to follow the discussion that way.

[jingang]

@MasterZhang I have several years in yoga and a few days in boxing....I probably know all about it. Of course, this is all irrelevant; i don't have to be a pianist to know what playing Rachmaninoff feels like...It's enough that I know how to use a finger on the keyboard and recognize a few notes.

Master zhang, go practice for a few more years you'll get a new perspective. Just because you practiced a few years or months of traditional arts doesn't mean you know much.

[jingang]

@MasterZhang I'm still waiting for you fight's videos or demonstrations

[MasterZhang]

@jingang I have several years of tai chi (Li Baoya, Wang Xi'an lineage) as well as half a year of Shaolin (Shi Deshan). Of course, this is all irrelevant; i don't have to be a good chef to know what tastes good, I also don't have to have trained for X amount of time under a traditional style to know that line is shorter than arc. He's trained Sanda Champs? OK, that's great. The next step is to analyze those fight vids and see just how much stuff unique to traditional they actually use.

[MasterZhang]

@jingang again, use commonly accepted definitions, not specialized ones you arbitrarily decided to use. You may not call them straight attacks, but most people do. ever heard of 拳打一条线？Anyways, semantics is derailing the actual topic, which is the flaw in this technique relying on you being faster with a strike that travels a much longer distance than many of the follow-up moves that your opponent can do. Also, you shouldn't dismiss sport martial arts. They have a much better track record.

[jingang]

@MasterZhang btw, Master zhou has student who are Local (city of 11 million) Champions in sanda what is your knowledge and experience?

[jingang]

@MasterZhang Haha, and you call me troll.... Straight is straight (read some geometry books) it has exact definition and it's straight in all 3 dimensions and not only 2 as you see it. None of the mentioned above is a straight punch. One more thing I have the privilege of knowing both sides of the martial arts whereas you only know the sport side and don't bother to try traditional in order to understand it better before you place judgment.
