Jiulong Baguazhang VS Three Opponents

Jiulong Baguazhang Three Opponents
This short clip is a classroom sequence from an upcoming video production entitled Baguazhang for Street Combat - Multiple Opponent Tactics to be released later this year. The video features practical applications in real world settings, on the street, in restaurants, bar rooms and backyards featuring full speed unrehearsed attack by one to six opponents against a single Baguazhang practitioner.

Each method shown in this new video from the Jiulong Baguazhang Association is fully explained in a classroom setting with detailed explanations given to clarify the techniques, tactics and palm methods used from Jiulong Baguazhang.

In this clip Dr. Painter is teaching a class in using the Cutting Through tactic to move between three opponents with the Wedge Principle in order to use each of the opponents against themselves. This process is later expanded from three attackers to six combatants simultaneously going against one man in the video production.

Looks similar to Aikido in a way. Very beautiful.

@AmericanCryer There are many similarities to avoidance and throwing techniques in Baguazhang to Aikido. Some even believe that the creator of Aikido may have observed Baguazhang in Manchuria during his time there and was influenced by it as he created the Japanese art of Aikido. No real proof of this but I think truth surfaces and many arts have some similar characteristics. Thanks for the nice comments.

Dear Sifu Painter,

You are a living legend of the martial arts, both in the areas of virtue and skill. After watching your weapon defence videos i brought both your books. I was wondering if you have any instructors teaching in Australia? My deepest thanks for your sincerety and knowledge.

[thegompa]

@boobaloomba Thanks for your kind comments. We do not have a branch school in Australia at this time. We do offer instructor training and would love to have someone from your part of the world begin working with us. Write to thegompa@aol.com for full information.

I wish there was a school here in Philly!

@thegompa I feel that if you know what you are looking at and understand physics of body motion you will see that all martial arts have the same root. Not as a contest to say "shaolin is the oldest" or "such and such is the ultimate" but that in order to be useful they must follow certain principles and then each individual has his own kung fu. I can not understand why 9 out of 10 kung fu learners argue about these things. The 1 out of 10 share and learn and grow and have no name for their art.

@thegompa Actually Aikido did come from Baqua, Master Sammy who founded a system of Aikido, explained this to me and even sent me the old Baqua book that his chinese teacher had given him. Nice demo by the way.....

@mikeymarshful Thank you for your kind comments.

[mikeymarshful]

@thegompa With pleasure, but I meant to say this is the first time I see someone using it so well. You have my respect as a martial artist.
