thanks!
I love that you are teaching this shortened form. So much of these arts are overstuffed and maybe pointless is unkind, but they aren’t essential for defensive application. Like in Bagua how I learned there are only the Mother Palms, Circle Walking and Single or Double Palm Change. Everything else is a blending of those elements to create a new form. Thus, forms are infinite and can begin or end however one likes. Which makes sense because Bagua was only taught to those who were already accomplished in another art.
agreed..the long form is an hour long, but if you break it down it is just an exploration of the variations on the eight basic moves.
I would very much like to see you doing your techniques at speed with a larger non-compliant partner.
Wholeheartedly agree!
A lot of the footwork looks like fencing footwork.
which is actually not too surprising since this style also has a very complete sword form. You would want the skills developed in both the empty-hand and sword form to complement one another.
Excellent concept. Bruce Lee studied western fencing and incorporated it into his style. The human body works most efficiently in only so many ways.
Exellent, just beginners also need comments to the stepping behind one of the standing legs, just in the ending part of the video, which were not commented. A side step odiof the leg in the direction of moving to the side could be added before stepping behind the leg, otherwise a useful form of defensive footwork typical of Bo jutsu. Paul.69
