My first master was a Vietnamese factory worker that fought in the Vietnam War. When he was training me in Kung Fu he told me more than once that if he fought someone that used the fist, he was not afraid, but if he fought someone using an open palm or their fingers, he knew he was in trouble.
To this day, I remember him jabbing me with his finger tips while fighting, and man that hurt like Hell.
I’ll never forget him, Sang Traung, a minimum wage graveyard shift factory worker that was the real deal with traditional martial arts.
His tiger claw rakes with all five fingers were nothing to scoff at.
Very interesting story. As we say in China, “The true masters are often found amongst the common folk.” Hard work and determination will yield magical results.
I started this art be ause it is often called the bodyguard art. If you use a palm strike in self defence or when defending a client you will have a easier defence in court . It is viewed as slapping the assailant not beating him with your fist.
Great video again laoshi, regarding the fist, my laoshi always explained to me that baji used to have a different name 耙子拳.
I'm not a student of this style.
However I can say when I was taught southeast Asian martial arts four decades ago the palm was considered the primary head and chest region strike for self defense.
Not to mention when I learned Shuai jiao palms were highly effective for disrupting flow and balance.
I even avoided jail because the palm didn't give the intent of doing harm.
To this day I slap a wooden pole for at least thirty minutes
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I was about to post a question about the hollow fist, but here you already answered it. Thank you for your work!
Thank you for what you are doing.
My pleasure!
Very interesting, Sir.
Glad you think so!
Been studying southern Gung Fu for 48 yrs.! Notice, using Palm strikes 90% of the time 😳Thanks, Shifu 💕😬
Lovely presentation. I really appreciate it. I can't make a fist due to a tendon injury so open hand is my only option. Your instruction is brilliant, thank you.
Thank you for your feedback!
Boxers fracture can be healed, if with sufficient medical care 100% (with proper stabilisation by fixation and rest), fracture of scaphoid carpal bone can lead to avascular necrosis and permanent disability of wrist joint, can happen in a palm strike if you use enough force on a hard enough surface
A palm properly strengthened and used correctly won't get injured in that way. That's why we stress foundation exercises and moves/routines.
Shouldn't use without proper conditioning I guess
@@anojjayangana1241 Generally, even without proper conditioning, palms are less prone to injuries if used correctly. An unconditioned fist would almost always get injured.
Sometime after getting my wrist injured, I was warned about how unbelievably fragile the hands are due to having so many delicate joints in it. Do you have a recommended safer way of practicing with an open palm?
Usually hand injuries are caused by wrong defence techniques other than attacking using a palm. Hitting sand bags are quite safe if done gradually.
Very interesting, master, thank you. Can I ask you a question? Is palm conditioning needed, as with the “iron palm,” to make it effective?
Yes. In all Chinese Martial Arts hand strengthening is required. Finger push ups, sand bags or iron sand bags are all part of this training.
Yes, most definitely. Using the sand bags over a decade was a determining factor in developing power. It takes time though. Years.
Hi,
I want to ask you bajiquan seems like a powerful art but is it practical in self defense or sparring?
Very little footage out there of bajiquan practitioners competing/showing its practicality.
Many of my videos discussed related topics. In short yes. We have it since the late Qing Dynasty and it was used in death and life situations like battlefields. It is NOT for competition though. Almost all Bajiquan attacks will break any rules in modern combat sports.
Bajiquan is so effective it was taught to all the presidential bodyguards in Taiwan when Chiang kai-shek was in charge and as far as I know continues to be taught.
xingyi has hollow fist
I want to start learning Bajiquan but i also want to learn piguaquan.
As I replied before, I only teach Bajiquan. You can start learning by practising according to my tutorials.
@@bajiquan.online then do you know of anyone who is teach piguaquan? I should start with tutorials found on your TH-cam channel?
Is the fingers' position same for all Baji style?
Approximately the same.
I have more control and I can project my energy more with palm strikes
is it too late for 40 something years old person to start learning bajiquan?
No. Not at all. Even if you don’t have any foundation you can still learn it based on your own physical condition. People of all ages and physical strength can benefit.
I started practicing baji quan at 39. Now, i am 49.
If you're not dead it's never too late to do most anything. That mindset is my guiding light at 56.
@@darkomtobia That’s the spirit of a martial artist!
I started wing Chun in my late 60s. Now in my 70 s. Still progressing. It's worth learning for its own sake as a beautiful skill, a pleasurable body movement, and as a strong motivation to stay unfat. Fighting? It'll never happen. But if it does I'll not be clueless. If you've ever wanted to do a martial art, do it. Bajiquan is a great one for us elder statesmen!
The egg...is whats known as Cotton Fist...Cotton Palm
Absolutely, open hand Palm strikes, or slaps open hand slaps as Americans call it, can be extremely devastating, just ask any professional wrestler, the man with the most dangerous open hand slap was the immortal Andre the Giant, you didn't want to take an open hand slap from that man!
What about dim mak?
That works by using well-conditioned fingers. Although it won't really make a person freeze up immediately, attacking those pressure points often disable a person's certain parts so they can't attack any more.
