Chen Xiaowang Explosive Demo from 2003

I was in Washington D.C. for a workshop with Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang when he did this demo at a tournament being held at the same location. A great demo of fajing. More cool videos at www.kungfu4u.com

The funny part is he's 142 years young.

@FortLauderdaleAcu I don't know what that means but I like it.

Since when are Chinese Martial Art Teachers, Masters and Grand Masters recognized by Belts? Recognition of perfection by belt is Japanese not Chinese.

[kungfukennyg]

@47WMATAIJI The Japanese adapted martial progress to their culture and created the belt system. Americans got accustomed to that and so most martial arts school have some sort of ranking system. Don't take it so seriously. In good American schools that teach Chinese arts, even a student who reaches black sash knows that they're just beginning. That said, I have to point out that there are levels in Chinese systems -- just not presented the same way. There's a disciple, an indoor disciple, etc.

Fajing takes years to even get it at the beginning level. But worth it. Also checkout one of the other 4 gems of Chenjiagou, Master Zhu Tiancai.

Thanks for your comments and explanation. I trained in Beijing in 2004 & 2005 and again in Shanghai, Chengdu and Kangding in 2006. Teacher, Master and Grand Master are their ranks.

the technique involved in that level of fajing is really not easy to master

[kungfukennyg]

@guitarfetish342 You are right. Your question was asked in a rather rude way, so I assumed you were just another online idiot commenting on things they don't understand. The stomping isn't the powerful part -- the fajing that he demonstrates in the 2nd half of the form is. I would guess that your father didn't practice Chen style - most practice slo-mo Yang. Chen Xiaowang is getting older but the power in his fajing is legendary. So the form is yin and yang - 1st half very soft, 2nd half hard.
