Bagua - Water Dragon Set

This set is also known as the root form as the spiral energy generated from the set is used for internal alignment and power. All movements originate at the waist which make the foot work fluid and powerful at the same time. Each movement can be done as a repetitive sequence and/or push hand drill. This is one of the core forms that I practice and teach.

@richardshapiroII Just because someone says they trained with Santa Claus doesnt mean it is so! It also doesnt mean a thing about what that person knows or doesnt know. Some people just dont get "it"! If you say this is the "real deal", then you two are perfect for each other. Just dont call someone else down for warning people who are starting to learn about the FRAUDS out there, especially on this format (youtube) where it is rampant.

Opinions are like elbows, everybody has them. Heres a fact. Ray has been kind enough to correspond a bit with me thru messages on the internet. He is the real thing. Any of you guys that doubt his ninja teks should, uh, look into his lineage.

This swimming dragon set is great.

....and BTW, what the heck do you people think ninjutsu is? It is "evil kung fu" as well as any useful technique the ninja could pick up.

It would be my wish fullfilled to go out to Honolulu with Ray.He has heart

@lol420024lol I did, he describes a weapon that never existed in japan. in other words you are right, it's fraud as well as bad technique.

@deejin25 I saw those spinning sword videos, and it wasn't a katana.... read the description.

[deejin25]

@deejin25 I teach an eclectic system myself, but I'm sure to point out where the arts came from and don't claim to teach styles I know. His ninjutsu is mostly karate kung fu mix, his sword style is not japanese by any stretch of the imagination, and contains science fictional movements. I'm sincerely afraid someday someone learning this from the video will get hurt. I'd rather get flamed on for being truthful than not stop an injury.

[deejin25]

@richardshapiroII he's the same dude posting videos of how to spin a katana by the middle, and his kenjutsu corresponds to no known or possible kenjutsu style. If you do something that collossaly irresponsible and misrepresent what ever art you do as a classical japanese art, when it's not,wherever a video likee that is found, someone will call you on it. I don't doubt he's good at whatever eclectic system he is teaching, he's the best in the world at it, since he obviously created it.

@deejin25

fair enough.

don't know about twirling katanas, but im gonna say the movements ray uses are very functional.

ray is one of the most sincere, knowledgeable MA guys ive seen, and ive seen quite a few.

and he's happy to allow you to test things, actually hes awesome in that respect.

or, that's what I saw when I went to a seminar of his.

perhaps your comment is better placed in the section with the actual twirling katana?

rock on

@richardshapiro Can't be grumpy when you enjoy life like me. That being said, it's irresponsible to teach techniques that get th euser hurt when you do them as instructed and it's better to tell people you invented something a few years ago than invent fake lineages. I'm happy but whoever spins an actual katana by the blade will be grumpy! :)

@deejin25

dude, your pretty grumpy.

ive had the opportunity to work with ray, and a couple of his students.

he's the real deal,

and his qigong exercises don't just look real, he's got a lot of chi.

you could do much worse than studying his ninjitsu.

(I agree bagua is the s@#T!)

just my 2 cents.
