  • Are these actual exercises that were taught to you as part of Liu Yun Jiaos curriculum or were they improvised by you?

  • lincoln, yes this jiben gong and others were taught... lets note, my teachers also have ideas of there own which have complimented the jiben gong thru there many years training. nothing wrong with improvement as long as it keeps original goal in place. not play wushu, but grounded basics to improve and help! hope to meet you in seattle, we can talk about it there, i have many thoughts about this topic. mike

  • Fantastic, I really like your stuff! Whose Bagua do you practise?

  • Could some bagua practitioner please detail what these exercises are? e.g. Mike is doing an elongated stretch at :15, bending back and around to :41, doing a snake creeps down/pu bu type of exercise next. etc... The final exercise is the small opening form, which MM covers in detail in another vid.

    Losing a dedicated martial artist and teacher like Mike is tragic. I hope his students will release a Mike DVD, even if it's not the polished product that he wanted to produce.

  • this looks great. im trying to learn bagua masterless due to money and time. but i go on feeling and thought you seem to learn or teach what i practice, and i didn't know these exercises.

  • where in nyc?

  • Mike Martello will be teaching Baguazhang Single Palm Change, Double Palm Change, Xiao Kai Men & Bagua Needle (Piercer) seminars in NYC.

  • Simply wonderful ... Thanks a million!!

  • Great exercises I do not practice other than what I have learned thru Park Bok Nam's books and here although I've done another art for about 14 years. Keep posting and much respect

  • Hi Mike, very interesting jiben gong! I practice Liang style bagua, but we don't have these sets of basics, it's more like we break the taolu into small parts and then work on them. Thanks for posting it.

    Michael
