What would you like to see next? Let me know!
Would be nice to know what daily or weekly exercises XingYi does to keep in top shape. Great video as always thank you.
@@blackler3187ready? Do your forms every day for 30 minuets to an hour. Pick a wall or sturdy post and align your San Ti with the post. Sink and push the post/wall. If you don't move backwards, your stance is mostly correct.
Consider any of these styles as suggestion for future videos.
Bagua to complete the main internal styles trio.
Hung gar, baji quan, tong bei quan, choy li fut and if possible fu jow pai, bai hei quan, tang lang quan, hou quan, she quan for the animal styles.
The key practice is San ti shi pole standing to develop power I believe. Would be great to know how these masters and experts do it! :) Some say this is the secret to Xingyi’s devastating power and penetration.
Well, secret in the old days anyway.

Great answer, 🙏 thank you!
This master needs his own TH-cam channel.
I told him so too! Let’s get everyone to comment on it! Haha
@@vivalaliberty his info is in my description box. But I am not exactly sure his lineage line.
don't bother.i train in xingyiquan too taijiquan and a little baguazhang and since the last episode i constantly felt that his xingyi looked strange and off and this episode the moment his santishi came out i knew it and everything i felt before made sense. santishi is the most basic yet one of the most important aspects in xingyiquan because it is the foundation of which everything in xingyi is built upon and his santishi is horribly wrong nuff said. my honest opinion there are others out there that teach authentic stuff
@@vivalaliberty linage? This is only for buy students. Just see technique., clearly is a good shifu,
@domonong It's probably just a difference in lineage. His San Ti is a bit more spread out and less loaded on the back leg as some others. I've been taught both ways, and I prefer the more spread out stance. I hope your Xing Yi is better than your grammar.
Dimitri teaches principles without withheldings secrets of HsinYi, so much valuable knowledge…… Superb teaching experiences!!!!!
I wish I knew where he teaches, then I can go learn.
I was just saying this to my partner, its so refreshing to see internal power discussed and shared openly. The concept is very useful regardless of what art one practices.
Bcoz he has a western mind..give and u shall receive
I wonder what is bio is
Dude is FAST! You can hear his movements in the Mic! Just insanely powerful! His theory of the bow being more powerful than the arrow is Awesome!
I had to check to make sure my playback settings weren't set to double speed!
:S he's not saying that, he's saying to coil up and release like a bow and arrow. He's saying the tendons you stretch to create a bow force, and then you release the "arrow" through the joints. So you "prepare" the tension in the tendons, then release them through the joints as the movement
He's not saying some philosophical ~ about bows being more powerful than arrows
I had an argument with some friends that a pitcher throwing a baseball has the same body mechanics as throwing a punch. Everyone thought i was nuts. Master Dimitri here proved my point.
A pitcher gathers the energy and transfers to the ball. The puncher gathers the energy and transfers into the punch.
There are a number of drills in xing yi where you visualize throwing a rock or catching a ball.
my summary of the 3-module practice:
1. 12:14 "throw ball" with wide stance, to train good basic posture, and the opening & closing dynamic
2. 15:44 similar as above, but with narrowing stance, to experience the wave of power through the body
3. 20:05 drawing the yinyang symbol (similar to "silk-wrapping" exercise in Taiji), to train the habit of engaging the whole body for every movement
Much appreciated my friend
Also
4. 01:55 To learn to use your Dan tien in your movements
5. 04:55 To learn to use your movements in a closer or longer distance
6. 08:40 Tryng to speed up the start of a technique and to work on proper form
I learned a lot on how to move in all martial arts movements. Yes he is a natural teacher. Please make him a regular teacher.
Love the dan tien discussion. Learned about it in tai chi, then applied it to my boxing and muay thai strikes. Massive power increases. Good stuff
Muay thai IS Wushukungfu, comes from KUNGFU.
Kungfu's is A PRINCIPAL'S martial arts in the WORLD, father & mother.
@@christianvaixco196 well let's go way back and say that kung fu is based of of Indian martial arts. And I'm sure they got the original stuff from the dinosaurs
Great Vid! Master XingYi is amazing, and reminds me of my childhood sensei back home so much!
here's how I was taught these concepts, for native English speakers this may help:
-Explosivity is key to both speed and power.
-Relaxation is key to Explosivity, 'your muscles can't flex if they're already flexed'
-The hips (lower core) are the Crossroads that connect everything on the Body, all power will pass through them and cascade outward like travelers on a road.
-Power comes from the ground, the striker is like a spring, squeezed toward the hips, then released, pushing the target away from the ground with violent expansion.
Interesting demo. Dmitri obviously has limited English skills but can still convey most of the principles or ideas well enough. He's very quick and powerful, having given some reference to the dan tien as a source of the power that then travels through fascia, not muscle, to reach the limbs and hands. The way we talk about it in Tai Chi Chuan, one of the other main internal martial arts, is to compress and to coil and uncoil from the grounded legs. He says twist and untwist, very similar description. The other thing he mentions is to relax but still be energetic, which is the state of Sung or release. Techniques should usually have an explosive or snapping quality, which most people have heard of as fajin, an explosive release of energy. And following the other person's energy to immediately respond and control them, as he suggests.
Wow, probably the best demo and explanation of traditional martial arts principles I’ve ever seen on YT
This guy is dangerous, I don’t even need to see him spar or something, the quality of movements shows it all
Thank you for sharing!
More videos with this guy, I haven't seen better xing yi before. Thank you
Check out hai yang!
This is a great video. I hadn't heard of Xing Yi as a style before this, but this style is seriously cool. I really like it's fluidity and body integration and would love to see more from Dimitri on this style. Clearly he is a very skilled practitioner and teacher. I agree, he needs his own channel.
In particular, the connection points between the feet and hands, knees/elbows, hips/shoulders put me in mind of what Sifu Francis says in Sensei Seth's video with you and him on the wooden Dummy. Also, your videos with Annie Malaython about sinking into the dan tian seems to link very strongly to how Dimitri describes the dan tian here. Very cool, and lots to think about and practice. Thank you for the great content as always.
This guy is legit. Some of the principles of movement he described reminded me of when I studied for a brief 14 months between 1993 and 1994 learning Xingyiquan and Qigong from Gramdmaster Wai Lun Choi (we called him Master Choi). You need more videos with this instructor. Xingyiquan has a very unique power generation method. The style is known to produce fighters. This video is good stuff and I will definitely pass it on to my buddies in the martial arts world. I must dust off my old “Five Elements” form.
This was the Xingyiquan (or Hsing-I Chuan when I learned it) I learned from Master Choi. This is him demonstrating it. th-cam.com/video/IxCp3_xboEA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DqeRHn_hbnJz3xQX
Like a whip, when Dimitri whip his arm forward, as the body closes.
He isn't just twisting the hip and upper body to whip the arm forward, but with deeper mapo (horse stance), he is actually swaying the body weight between the legs AND twisting the upper body. That gives him enough distance (more space) to accelerate the upper body. Leg endurance, getting used to do mapo. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
What he’s struggling to communicate is that to generate the power you must first transform the body by connecting the fascia with body opening and standing (san ti shi) practice. Then the power generated from the dan tien is the expressed in the joints. Rather than using leverage, it utilizes the viscoelastic nature of the connective tissue to pull the limbs through space very quickly while keeping the entire mass of the body connected on contact.
I am sure that most of the people who are watching this understand what Dmitri is explaining we can see it within his action and movement and with the help of Kevin and Mike. Many of Kevin's viewers including myself are practical will it work martial artists and they are either fighters or is in process of fighting in a sport arena and are people who are in the military or in law enforcement. Unfortunately the internal chi explanation you are saying just confuses people more to be honest and also makes us think your apart of the woo woo masters circle when you start saying things like this. Just keep it simple in explaining your words most of the people watching are not internal masters.
Agree this is physics and not woo woo. Anyone can develop this
@@MrPookiexL3oi I never said anything about chi. I said you use the connective tissue to slingshot your hand/foot to the target. You draw the tissue taught by turning the dan tien/core/center of mass, and then you release it to move or strike. But if you haven’t done the work to connect everything, you won’t get the same result. That’s why Dimitri’s strikes sound and look different than kevin’s. Internal martial arts are more about changing how you move than learning different techniques/combos and the like. It’s not magic, it’s just not how we are generally taught to move. Exercise science is starting to catch up, you may notice foam rolling and fascia care/development are becoming more prominent and the pradigm is shifting.
@nathanpflughoeft1126 it's actually very effective if you use a combo of western boxing.
@@eyes2338 @nathanpflughoeft1126 He's a woowoo master don't bother, he's explaining his internal explanation to a scholar of the arts and who's that scholar, I have no idea. Let them type away.
Dimitri is amazing to watch! Feel like this guy can’t get more aggravated beyond mild voice raise. Love the mind energy body connection he’s going over
Kevin, thank you for sharing such amazing martial arts content. Also this dude is awesome!!
Thank You so much for the class! this is GOLD material. thankyou again _/\_
Love the xing yi content. I'd love to see more. I got inspired to go find some guys in the area that practice it, and pick it up again.
This guy is awesome. Hai Yang is another great Xing Yi teacher to check out on YT
Will do! Thanks!
Agreee.. Hai Yang is truly dedicated in Xingyi (legendary Hebei branch)
Yes, master HAY YANG is truly another great teacher of internal styles. Master Guo Ming (George) Xu is also another legend of these styles, he teaches xin yi liu he quan, boxing of the heart and mind🫀🧠six harmonies and ten animals, ancestor of xing yi quan,but also chen taijiquan,baguazhang,shaolin lan shou quan....Dimitri is also a true expert master,Thank you for great video and excellent explanation,keep it up on this way.☯
I'm so happy to see other Hai Yang viewers 😀
Thank you gentlemen for such a great analysis of understanding body mechanics. Keep these vidoes coming. Oss!
OMG this is top tier! I admire Dmitri so much!
Loved the fluidity of the forms and how he was able to combine it all with such energy and speed and did it in a understanding way. Great vid! ❤
Great video Kevin, as always!!!... Thanks!!!...
Great insights and explanations! Thank you very much!!!
Excellent.
Thank you, gentlemen.
Much appreciated.
This is great, thanks Kevin for sharing this.
I can see why XingiYi, Taiji Chuan, Bagua and Qigong are sometimes mentioned together.
The importance of not rigidly focussing on a target is key one. It’s easy to tighten when one starts thinking of a target rather than using one’s body and awareness to develop power and speed.
Very valuable information!! I would definitely want to see more in depth videos like this!!! Xsing yi chuan is a very powerful martial art!
Absolutely amazing!!
Excellent! Thanks for the presentation.
This is amazing stuff! Ya'll need to feature him much more!
Great work Kevin! 👏
Great! Thank you for sharing!🙏🏼
Another awesome video! Very impressed with your content this month!
Glad you enjoy it!! I
Awesome teaching. Internal Power generation well demonstrated . This short segment has truly sparked my interest in this style of Xing Qi. Where can I sign up?
Amazing content you guys.
Another Great video !
Great XingYi kungfu video. It is good to see how these theories are being applied in real applicable movement. Dimitri is amazing with his power, motion, and his demos. Thanks to Kevin for facilitating and producing this interesting presentation.
This guy is a wonderful master. I learned a lot from this video. Please, continue making them. See u in the next video.
That was an awesome demo that answered a lot of questions. It would be good to compare this with a powerful boxer describing how they generates long and short power. Also, with all these forms it's good to know the common repetitive motion injuries with a given style especially if they are not practiced correctly.
thank you brother for keeping the "old style" as master shredder calls it alive and well. You are doing Gods work! :)
Brilliant episodes .. would love to see more of Dimitri’s HsingI .. you also said you’d put his link details in the description box ?
Think every one has heard the sound of a fast strike in a praticed technic wearing a gi top....but wow hearing that speed and power in a tee shirt is incredible. Thnx great channel
The historical metaphor of a bow is widely used in Chinese martial arts to describe a type of power generation, but in the case of Xing Yi (and others) I have found that a more apt metaphor is that of a [coil] spring - like the old-school shock absorbers on a car. You're "pressing down" on the spring such that when you want to strike, you are releasing all of the pent-up energy at once in a single moment.
Or if you want to extend the bow metaphor, a more apt one may be a Roman ballista, where even more potential energy is generated via torsion (twisting of a rope around a central axis). Interestingly enough, those old ballistae used "large animal tendons" to store the energy, because they were elastic enough to withstand the constant twisting and releasing.
The idea is that you are generating tension in order to accumulate power that can then be released. In physics it would be described as the accumulation of potential energy in order to release kinetic energy. But how that energy is generated and directed can vary quite a bit depending upon the technique and philosophy of the art. Choy Li Fut, for example, has several strikes which work more like swinging a heavy ball at the end of a chain than the type of strikes being shown in this video - you aren't holding tension so much as you are maintaining a position/flow which allows you to continually swing the ball over and over again.
When it comes to visualization and understanding, a good metaphor can be invaluable!
Thanks for the video! He is a good and true martial artist!
Excellent video Sifu kevin.
Kudos from Greece, to all 3 of you👏
Dimitri, however, gave the very best tutorial on how to prepare your joints and muscles in order make your body utilize internal power. Maximum power. Nobody but only some old karate, boxing etc, masters, taught so. These days all senseis teach to "use" hips but very few teach so extensively about the feeling, Dimitry gave all info and details. After a lot of long training I've had realized all these details. Took many repetitions and focus on the feeling. Respect👏
PS Xingyi is definitely the ancestor of Karate.
Yes bro, karate IS Wushukungfu, comes from KUNGFU. Kungfu's is the MAIN martial arts in the WORLD, it is complete and does EVERYTHING! father and mother of the most famous martial arts in the world, karate, muay thai, taekwondo, judo, Jiu jitsu, silat, aikido, kali, hapkido, ninjutso, sumo, vovinam, sambo, krav maga, savat ETC'S......
He does need his own channel as long as there is a student, but s.o. fluent in English so that through the dialogue, everything is explained. Kevin is doing very well with all of the questions, it really answers about everything for the viewer. Dima (Dmitrii) has a good vibe going, very analytical (so is Kevin), a tall martial artist around 6' 1".
My first time seeing this guy. That man is an awesome master of his art ...everything he explained makes perfect sense to me! 💪😎💥
More! More! Master Dimitri is really cool.
Muy buena demostración. Enhorabuena y gracias.
Damn!! My primary reason for watching this video was to hopefully get some trade secret to adopt in my own recreational sport but I think I need to start with thai chi or qigong because the strength in the movements is admirable. Thanks very much for inspiring me.
Great stuff 😊
This guy gets it. He gets it better than he can teach it. I'm used to the opposite 😂. I wish I was in a better position, I could show you some exercises to help develop internal power. Unfortunately, Im too unhealthy to be taken seriously.
Don’t give up. Take the first step and the next step will follow!
Have you tried qigong? There are many similar principles -the focus is on health, energy development and awareness. It can be done sitting (and there are specific sitting forms) and is easy to adapt to different levels of mobility, conditions etc.
That was amazing to watch.
Im going to start practicing drawing tai chi symbols like that 😮
Very inspiring!
Love this! Thanks for sharing… so much similarities in a different way
To the Daito Ryu Aiki-jujutsu I practice. Some tai-chi as well… love seeing the underlying unity just like the spiritually and religions I like to study 🙏❤️
Thanks for watching!!
Comes from Wushukungfu.
sonic boom hands Dimitri Shifu back for more! love it! the cultivation and application of dantien power was really great info to ruminate on and incorporate into my own training.
I'll add a tip for you. Look up some videos on reverse breathing. Zhu Tiancai has a good one, if I recall. Without it, your gains will be much smaller.
Dimitri is Awesome, skill, precise, and very interesting need to have him on again and maybe go through a form or two? :)
I would love to see a Xingi series with Dimitri!
It's NOT like expanding and contracting (a commonly expressed misunderstanding); Sifu is using the bow and arrow analogy to describe how the body is "pre-tensed" or wound into a spiral that is then opened or unleashed with explosive movement. He literally says, "twisting and untwisting" and I believe he is referring to the same spiral principal that is taught in aikido. Spirals are fundamental is natural movement patterns; even straightening the knee involves a subtle spiral of the tibia on the femoral knuckles, and a "straight" punch must include a spiral of either the forearm or the humerus.
Kevin that was very impressive to watch. That is a true master....unbelievable power. Can you show more from him? Greetings from germany
I am trying to convince him to have his own channel!
Absolutely amazing thank you. Kia ora
This is what I was missing last time this gentleman was on, this is Xing yi!
Kevin Lee,
Very interesting and informative video! Thank you very, very much!
I wished you let the master explain the temporal relationship between the fist, and the two feet though. In particular, when do the fist and feet move, does the fist land together with the front foot, or before, or after? When does the rear foot move?
That side step palm strike control is insane!
11:13
That was wild! 😮
🤔 essentially using the power of "Circle Energy" & "Coiling Energy". Nice💯
I like when he asks for a strike he doesn't say what kind. He lets the attacker choose yet when he responds it is like he knew exactly what was coming beforehand. Also, seeing how this art uses body mechanics is a demonstration of the philosophy of knowing your body. To use your mechanics you need awareness of your body.
The strategy of xing yi is that it doesnt matter what they bring because you're going to fully displace yourself, while blasting in the direction of your movement.
You dodge anything headed straight at you, and crash through anything hooking at you with hard parts.
He doesnt need to know what you're bringing at all- he just needs to time it right. Good approach means making the decisions as simple and thoughtless as possible.
Very important and unique information thank you Amituofo 🙏
This version of Xing yi is by far the best I've ever seen !!! wow !!!
Very skilled teacher!
Hi Kevin, how would you implement this principles in your Muay Thai or Bjj training? I would be really interesting
I remember my Hsing I lessons from master Kenny Gong in Chinatown back in mid 70's. His power was amazing!! Being 19 years old then I was unable to wrap my head around the concept of relaxing. To full of youth and vigor. After 8 months I switched to Fu Jow Pai Shaolin. Guess I needed that 'impact' style fighting training. Who knew I passed up on a true internal style.
I loved this internal video on Xing Yi. Now I'm just waiting on an Aunkai video on internal power.
Very good instruction from this master. much appreciated. Please try to interview Grandmaster Jiang YuShan who teaches also very well. Stay safe everyone 🙏🏽
love it! Fast twitch on steroids. Secret is ying~yang movement thru out the body focused to a target then weapon then movement 💥
Nice moves and great philosophies
Thank you for these videos on Tachichuan, Xingyi and hopefully, Baguazhang. I dont do F/B or IG but do you know where Mr. Dimitri Nogay teaches? My obliged. Be well.
Could you thank him, he just shared the secrets! thank you very much.
Glad to see more real internal gongfu getting some attention.
Kevin Lee is so likeable! Awesome content also! 👌🏾🙏🏻
amazing interpretation. now i think that i understand the base.
Great job great teacher whoa nice 👍
I see a little bit of systema essence with the open/closed technique and the snap of the forward strikes.
This guy is amazing.
I want to train w him.
All the internal power starts with the san ti shi pose training he mentioned earlier. It takes really really really long to digest, but it will become really powerful over time.
It depends on individual fascia integration. The outside form can never replace internal functions
Thanks for giving xing yi quan so much time.neijiaquan are complex in general lol
Amazing the way he can generate power.👍
Guys what would help you understand this better is basic physics. Recall drawing vector arrows? Every force or weight or magnitude has a direction right, and for every force there's an equal opposite force, newton's law. There's center of mass, bw + gravity and ground reaction force, there's tensional and rotational force via muscles, bones and ligaments.
So imagine all these different types of forces and the many ways your body can generate it and contract and expand. Like when he demonstrates you should expand upper going upwards and bottom going downwards while shifting the whole body forward, imagine thst with the vector arrows. In boxing, we say power comes from the ground up, or that we should generate power with our lower body. It's this act of bodyweight and gravity onto the floor, and then when you activate some muscle into it such as a pivot or muscles involve in jumping, you aid the ground reaction force propelling you in the opposite direction thus expansion of your force.
Let's take a punch for example: in a traditional boxing stance with center of gravity felt (what I believe they're really talking about when they mention the 3 points about the spine - you can anchor your force low, mid or high depending on if you're looking to plant a shot or be light on your feet and float around, etc. this is the body weight thats acting with gravity that you need to feel and manipulate as needed - what you're manipulating is the acceleration of it - thats what he meant by being in constsnt motion you can slow it or speed it up and use the generated force to your purpose). To throw a right hand cross, you pivot the back foot with a hard dig into the ground (the old pivot like "putting out a cigarette" advice), this activates that ground reaction force so the harder the pivot the stronger - so again this would be a vector arrow being drawn down towards the ground followed instantaneously by a vector arrow up. This up arrow or force is what you'll be transferring via the muscles, ligaments and bone structure throughout your body to your target with correct technique of course. That is foot pivot, hips pivot, torso pivots, shoulders, arms/elbows, wrist and finally the forces travels out your knuckles into the target - the vector arrow that shoots upwards. If you can imagine all this like a connecting chain reaction and literally think about how this force travels it helps.
Imagining vector arrows also helps because it's this split in directional forces that causes the "eruption" or explosiomln of power that he's trying to explain.
A strength exercise that helps you perform this better and understand this would be a single arm dumbell split jerk (look it up). In this exercise you drop the legs into stance aggressively while pressing your arms up agressively as well.
I'd like to add, know how to activate upper and lower body to produce both forces is the difference between a proper punch and an arm punch.
He gives you Xing Yi tips, you give him tips on starting his own TH-cam Channel. win-win !!
Facinating stuff.
@kevinleeblog the answer to your question about how to train it is to train full body relaxation to consolidate your mass and then use intent to focus that mass where you want it to go. Thanks for sharing; great video!
I'll pay gold to study with him. He's a straight killer. Deadly fast. Seem Wing Chun with wide stance.
This is a real Master!!!
Great video. Everything he teaches is pretty similar to what shotokan karate teaches.
Kevin you should try to touch base with Master Ken Fish. He is incredibly knowledgeable about Hsing-Yi and would be a fascinating person to have on. Trained a little bit with him I'm the late 80s. He's out of Gaithersburg Maryland and is also a chiropractor and knows traditional Chinese medicine as well.
This is gold
15:30 that might be a nice banner in front of a martial art academy: "it's easy after ten thousand times".
