Excellent demonstration of applying the same principles in various contexts. This is what makes principles valuable. The principles are simpler than the sum of their applications and if you understand them you can apply them in many different situations. Efficient informational processing.
Not always about fighting. Sometimes it's simply studying the physiology of your partner to develop skills that CAN apply to self defense. You'll also see this heavily in Muay Thai among other traditional arts. Allows the training to go deeper than just fighting.
Doesn't matter. What matters is if you can watch this and take something of value from it. The grip fighting here is quality. A lot to be added to a wrestling base. I know a guy who's been in tons of fights and can't fight his way out of a paper bag. He's just an anti-social dummy. Those dudes are a dime a dozen. Bad attitude and big right hand. Big deal. Also very rich coming from a wing-chun guy. It's like if rock-em-sock-em robots was a martial art. Even as silly as it is, there's a ton to learn from it.
i not recall name of this i learnted from some one. beside few in ymca and friends in various arts. i liked and showed this to son and some. in early 70's about time learn boxing, i practiced this in sum exageration slow to fast against sister n siblings. Last showed son decade ago, sticky hand, deflect, catch, throw, gets into position to break limbs if needed.
This could easily fit in a Taiji lesson as well. If you labelled this as "Real uses of Taiji circular dynamics", I would have believed that too. 😂 (speaking as a Taiji practitioner). I've always suspected bagua and Taiji to have a common root, which has somehow been lost to history, before the emergence of the "officially recognised" beginnings of both systems. Their cultural bases and the ways they work overlap so much. Where they perhaps diverged was that in Bagua the circles are more emphasized, whereas in Taiji the circles are made subtler, but still present. And then both systems absorbed different stuff from their environments due to being finally systematized in different places.
Yes, you can analyse Taiji via the same circles, -evident in cloud hands and brush knee for example. Taiji and Bagua may have the same origins, though there is no evidence. I think it's more likely to be a case of coming from a similar cultural root, shared mechanics because the domain of use is the same. There have been exchanges between them in the past 150 years too which has led to more similarity. The 'modern' Wudang movement tends to claim these arts have a common origin even though there is no evidence of them having been practiced around Wudang before the 20th Century.

Greetings from sunny Thailand, Ed!
Tell me you've never been in a fight without telling me you've never been in a fight.
Tell me you're mistaking your experience with all experience.

@@alex88goode and still it's complete rubbish.

Simple et pragmatique. J'adore! 👌🏾

Nice little video. Thanks.
Hey guys! Nice to see you baguaing together!
Yes, though we do not as much as I'd like. Still, there will be more soon.
cheers Ed!
You can kill people with the real stuff!
Good stuff! :)
"How did he die?"
"Circle"
good stuff
nice (but too fast & messy for a demo)
Nice 👍
