So is this like shui jiao? err idk. I havn't heard of Kuai Jiao.

[chychochycho]

yes, very much the same

[GooseHinson]

The "dancing" contains the wrestling moves! What have you been watching? Watch again!

[8stepsifu]

good kung fu. You actually made shuai chiao forms look good. They are the ugliest and most useful forms. I've done about a thousand of each.

NIce work, what is the diferent between Shiao jiao and kuai jiao, thank.

[Texaswrestlergamer]

[Egodbold1]

VERY NICE !!! VERY NICE !!! Good show of fluidity of the movement of the art, as well as EFFECTIVE and efficient application of techniques ! VERY NICE !!!

[rohleks]

meh too fixed, no fluidity to the moves. doesnt seem to take into account the percentage of fighters that will try stop the throw.

@xPookeyBearx kuai jiao just means swift wrestling its more native to the chinese then the 2 hand grabbing one

[kaindrg]

@GooseHinson if u look at many medieval european martial arts aand many renassance stlye of empty hand wrestling/striking, they where passed down thru dance. and many like chinese martial arts make no distiction between striking and grappling one could use a striking motion for grapping and vice versa. and like european arts many striking motions were incorparted from weapons to empty hand because of the effective power delivery

[kaindrg]

@comrad1986 fact. but not all shui jiao is in that catagory just certian kuai jiao. cuz chinese kung fu did not start as a striking but evovled from wresling. that y when practicing u shoould begin to see that the entry concepts and bridging concepts are done with more adherence to grappling concepts of foward engagment

[kaindrg]

@GooseHinson if ur refering to forms then u are entitle to calling it dancing. but the truth is before the 1800-1900 students didnt practice forms all that often and was reserved foe students that were choses as heirs to specific styles for 2 reasons. 1. martial arts, bantits, and soldeirs were illiterate like most human population before modern times forms acted like a text book for a teacher a curriculum. 2. only succesor would inheirt forms.
