This guys name is Liu Shichang and was a contemporary of Dr. Xie. This video, the full one is awesome and full of material. It is aimed at a practitioner of Bagua who has time with Yin Style of Dr. Xie's lineage and other bagua students. His adherence to the body requirements and forms of YSB and his execution of technique are awesome. He is being very nice to his helper.
This is fantastic to see the art alive. So much has been lost to see this makes me happy. I myself do the short style Bagua but I love to see it in motion as there are so many tricks and skills.
I think this video was made around 2006. Liu Shu Chang was a student of Xie Pei Qi. He was a well known shuai jiao practitioner ( wrestler) but after challenging the Dr and being beaten became one of his students. I met him quite a few times when in Beijing, I studied with Xie Pei Qi until his death in 2003 and HeJin Bao his top student. The western guy in the video is Andrew Nugent Head who introduced Yin Style to the west through Dr Xie. MIchael is the Chinese guy in the video, also in Dr Xie's qin na video produced by Andrew and the Association for Traditional Studies
@@wongjunquan2662 yes, in the past Zhang Zhaodong combined bagua with xingyi power, and An Jian Qiu's family has Houtian bagua which utilises baji movements
Perfection execution 4:00 i was about to cry... Such a great disable . Chopping and cutting movements and angles that the oponent can strike through - Disable oponent first. YES
Wonderful stuff! Thank you Sifu. More practical technique was revealed in the first five minutes of this video than in many five hour long seminars! We will absorb and practice as much as possible. New sub. All the best to you and your students. Laoshr #60 Ching Yi Kung Fu Association
Yes, thanks for this question! BaGua Consist of several methods of training. The Circle walking your referring too is commonly know as the 8 Mother Palms. The 8 Mother Palms, Circle Walking, and Pre Heaven and Post Heaven movements all serve a specific purpose. Now…An initiated practitioner in BaGua also learns “Straight Line Drills” or straight forward combative drills. Some lineages have 64 Combat Drills which mirrors the 64 Manifestations of Yin and Yang etc.. However, almost all authentic schools have actually pretty direct combat drills which is exactly what you are seeking in this video. Good question…
In Baguazhang on the circling and holding methods develop a certain type of power generation through the core. The idea that they fight by circling around somebody before they attack and all that is just movie game and people who didn't know what they were doing. This art was a bodyguard art it had to be directed had to be to the point it has become watered down a lot. Something this lineage does not do. They keep an old way which is fantastic.
@@NeiJiaQuanBookindeed...of interesting timing, O Sensei didn't create what he eventually called Aikido until after he came back from Manchuria and Mongolia (my understanding is he was there pre-WW2). My expectation is that nationalism being what it is, prevented him from teaching a Chinese Martial art(s) and so he internalized what he learned into his Daito Ryu background and thus, Aikido was born. That in and of itself is still cool to me. Unfortunately, like Taijiquan and Baguazhang, what modern practicioners fail to recognize is that O sensei and all the original Internal arts masters were all very accomplished fighters already before they integrated the internal into their arts. Nowadays too many want to skip the fighting step, and then think they are fighting proficient after only practicing years of soft techniques. Bruce Lee said it best: "if you only practice soft technique, it's like trying to pedal a bicycle using only one pedal...you don't go anywhere".
Keeps it real. None of the 50-50 stances typical of contemporary performance routines. Spring rather than fulcrum biomechanics. Good stuff.

Have you got his name in Chinese characters?
@@kenlek869 not on my person. I do not read speak or write any chinese languages.
What up David bro!

Grappling the hand is to neutralize his force.
After neutralization of the bridge one can strike,
Joint lock, kick, sweep or throw.
Great comment, yes!

Great Job!! Awesome forms!❤
By far the best applications of authentic Bagua I have seen on TH-cam. Good execution!
Thanks for watching and commenting
Can I Bagua combined with baji Quan
Can I use xing yi Quan and Baji Quan and Bagua
@@wongjunquan2662 yes, in the past Zhang Zhaodong combined bagua with xingyi power, and An Jian Qiu's family has Houtian bagua which utilises baji movements
There's some really great movements and techniques here.

Perfection execution 4:00 i was about to cry... Such a great disable .

Strike first then grapple!

Effective.
Anyone know where to find the full video of this?
I think he was in his 80s when this was made
I'm asking out of ignorance: why didn't I see any spiraling around in those sel-defence moves when solo bagua is almost only spiraling?

@@IronWireMartialArts You didn't explain why they do it

I saw extensive spiraling in this clip.
@5:28😅...
👍
When I see applications of Bagua and Tai-Chi, they look very much like the techniques of Aikido. All martial arts contain more or less the same moves.
Perfectly articulated comment!! Well said!
All Aikido strikes are found in Xing Yi. All Aikido throws are found in Ba Gua. It's not a coincidence.

If this is Bob with grappling then I was inadvertently taught a lot of bagua without knowing it
