Hammer Fist Glen Levy fa jing demo

Most of Eric Chen's students missed the seminar because of a Wushu competition. So Glen demonstrates the hammer fist on one of them for class. It was 1/16th force as opposed to Coach Eric's which was 1/4 - 1/2.

Just so you know Glen has bought Erle Montaigues vids also I tried doing a one inch punch through a book and it amplifies the force quite nicely. The Guy fell over oopps sorry mate!! no fake fit someone through a book or telephone directory and it hurts.

nice trick though, but not new.

@whoflungdat There's a difference between buying vids and actually training with Mr. Montaigue. Hatsumi Sensei also has videos, but Glen trained with him directly as well. Among other instructors. a one inch punch with or without an object between is designed to push someone back. this is NOT. watch glen's impact v. momentum video for clarification. Glad you had some results from watching this vid--imagine if you had direct training.

This is rediculous. The black guy is just wimpy.

[ninjoeperez]

@LionEatingMan Ha. He'll be the first to admit it. but it doesn't feel like getting hit by a normal punch, even hard.  There are some 'tough' guys out there that can't explain why this hurts differently, but they felt it. I've seen it on ripped muscle guys as well as thick islanders. it feels....funky. Like you got hit and tased at the same time, kind of.

[LionEatingMan]

@ninjoeperez Ok, but I don't understand what he's doing differently. Mabe it is my failing, but his form doesn't look any different from a regular hammer fist.

[ninjoeperez]

@LionEatingMan no, i agree it looks normal. but he's creating impact without momentum. most strikes are judged by and hence taught to produce momentum. i.e. Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch that sends a guy 10 feet or 'lifting' a guy with an uppercut, etc. but with pure impact, all the energy stays IN. check out Glen's channel, ninjaskilledmyfish. there's a video about impact vs. momentum.

if you're in California this July, I think he's coming here.

ninjutsu and mostly aikido has a lot of elements from tai chi chuan,till this day the ideea of chi or ki as a concept at least is in every martial arts,but the concept itself came from tai chi chuan!

i wish you well!

[UnknownFromHeaven]

@SeanHannityable i do not joke, Ueshiba studied Taiji in Southern China before realising the system of aikido, and the concept of chi at least in taoism is reffered to the living energy that flows in the universe.

And through Taiji mostly you can connect to that power!

Bruce lee knew that, thats why his jkd was so powerfull.

i wish you well!

[SeanHannityable]

@UnknownFromHeaven You've got to be kidding. The concept of chi has been part of cultures all around the world for thousands of years. Tai Chi Chuan is nowhere near that old. It's not even one of the first Chinese martial arts to use it. Hsingyiquan and Shaolinquan are much older.

That guy face was priceless when getting hit with the hammerfist.

@piaten Indeed!

@Idandra1 WTF? Who cares about a name? If it works, use it! These "your fajin sucks, cause it's from a different lineage"-attitudes belong in kindergarten! Skill talks for itself, period!
