cui rui bin is the best yiquan master in life now. he had also practise different martials arts before learn the yiquan. If you Watch really old video with Me cui and the yao brothers you understand who is the best. And now the yao brothers continue to say it's cui the best. So hunyuan it's you say bullshit. And all teacher or master i know do a 90° degree angles with "Control the tiger position" so Why is not good if you close distance between your feet? you don't use your brain??? it's most natural to close the angle but you need to relearn how moving with your body you set up a new natural move. If you don't do this you continue to pull or push with your arm and not with your body. Thank ilias for your videos i'm a michel tournerie student et je sais qu'il a commencé le yiquan avec vous.
I merely a beginner, but by reading both of your comments, I must say that I cannot see what makes them opposite views. For one speak of an objective fact (= what can be seen = alignement of the knees), and the other of a subjective experience (= what cannot be seen = inner sensations). There is a paradoxe indeed : how through the practice of a form, which by essence is limited, one can found (or just found again) what is spontaneous (and by its meaning which cannot be concealed into a limited form) ? I think there is no opposition, for we can naturally engaged into a specific position (alignement of the knees), and for this specific form is nothing more but first a sensation (= the opening of low back). Form is alive and complete when it is spontaneously realized. To be spontaneously realized means that nothing is voluntary realized (= what I do willingly), and thus nothing is, in a sense, realized, for it is spontaneous (= it is done, by me, but not the me conscious of itself (relexion), it's the self before the reflexion) I hope this comment will lend some light here... or not ! Ahah. Have a nice day !
Either he is fooling you, or his understanding is really far off the alive path of Yiquan. I'm really wondering if Cui is telling this just for having teaching theory or if he really believes what he says..... This is a serious question to me.... Yiquan is about mind/idea. Form is second to it and is a natural, creative product of it. Nobody has to tell how to place the foot correctly. With the right pictures and Ideas the body finds it's own perfect position and way of movement. Then everybody has it's unique structure. Someone with knock knees or bandy legs naturally has a different natural structure than somebody with "normal" legs.... In the video at 4:384:39 you can see clearly how his footposition is naturally different from what he teaches.... because the theory he teaches is not natural. Even Wang himself has beautiful pictures where he is standing with foot tips spread outwards. This theory of Cui's has nothing to do with Yiquan. It's his own creation. This is solely to criticize his explaining theory and the way they press a free and creative martial art which was aimed at overcoming all the forms and stiff theory in a stiff corset which doesn't fit . This is not to criticize Cui's ability to combat or something else. He is good without doubt, but what he is teaching partly is really bullshit and far off the idea of Yiquan. Sorry for this negative comment, but it just had to be said....
I have similar thoughts on most of the yi quan videos avaliable on RUclips. It seems that this art is tough one to profit from. It just gets warped when people try. I was shown yi quan gong about 5 years back by some nameless drifter. I've been trawling the Internet for years looking for more useful information, but really he showed me all I need to know already. Only realising that now!
