Before I found a Baji teacher and had learned about the style, I would watch all the videos I could and this was one of the first that I came across. Many years later I'm still amazed at the skill of the practitioners in this video.
with all respect, instead watch chang long ba ji quan ruclips.net/video/_kxkN5kI3mA/видео.html and witness refinement that is rare in the world and learn more than you expected
@@atomictraveller I watched your link, i think it looks too rigid, it lacks flowing and reminded me of karate (not a good thing). I prefer this video where graceful and fluid movements alternate with decisive pwerful strikes. It has the perfect balance of Yin and Yang.
God, the movement, the exactitude, the timing between moves, the shoulders' position, the speed used for each movement, the strength, the precision... im speechless. I've practiced Wushu Kungfu for 5 years and Wing tsun right now, and yeah, im speechless, only someone who has practiced it and tried it can know how hard actually is to reach that level of mastery.
I started with Traditional Wushu when I was a child. Moved onto TaeKwonDo in my pre-teen to teen years. Currently learning Wing Chun. Started long range style fighting and moving into closer range. All the my masters/instructors were skillful in their arts but not all of them were good teachers. Guess sometimes the champions don't make the best teachers.
Absolutely fantastic! This is true technique. Perfect balance and structure, smooth transitions, very fluid, excellent rooting on each strike/block. The subtitles indicate this is in China, Hebei, Cangzhou. While that is a good city, it is still not as developed as many other areas. This proves that superb martial arts needn't require specialized facilities or expensive equipment. All of us can learn from the practitioners in this video. Xie xie.
i really want to learn this style. after taking karate for 4 years then suddenly stopping after the dojo was closed i forgot how much i loved it. This art is really nice and i would love to be able to learn it. even the first form would be enough for me
very nice, very good, question for the ones who know this ppl in the video, is this all baji, or is ther also a xinyi liuhe set there? or are this two styles really so close?
This is true. There is a saying that states to the effect of- skill overcomes power and mastery overcomes skill. This indicates the importance of repetition. Our kungfu school's motto is 'I do not fear the ten thousand kicks that you've practised once, I fear the one kick you've practised ten thousand times!'

Who here has heard the saying: when pigua is added to baji, gods and demons will both be terrified. when baji is added to pigua, heroes will sigh knowing that they are no match for it?
I have a buddy who does MMA and cross trains with me. He also trains in BJJ and Muay Thai. He is one of the few with no bad attitude. And Ive managed to catch him with the ineffective traditional techniques that don't work ;-). Its a good exchange and we learn from each other..
This guy is no joke, I've seen enough material arts over the years to KNOW this guy is real pro. The power of the punches the coordination the grace of his moves, it's powerful in any ways😇
In my Sifu's village there was nothing to do but grow peanuts, practice Hung Gar Shaolin, and drink. They had a similar overall level of skill. Also the same landscaper.
Baji was the emperor's guard's routine. You don't do it in actual performance, but during practice, you hit your thighs and arms with some of the strikes. It toughens your skin. And they don't hold back when they hit too :P
@megadomonic baguazhang is the eight tri-grams palms,baji is explode in eight directions fist. it was once called pazi quan,meaning the raking fist.baguazhang is attributed to dong hai chuan.baji is from meng village,cang county.
Nice...I've seen a little Taiji and wave-type movement in my time and enjoyed it in this..and fa-jing type movements...really enjoyed this..the two-person form especially. For the detracters..get over the dust, the world is not all green grass and McDonalds
He throws quite a few. Most kicks are thrown at the thigh, or shin of the opponent. Baji Quan is about short movements, high kicks and knees take a lot longer to pull off than a kick to the shin.
This is too awesome. What a beautiful and devastating art. Any body know what part of China this video was recorded in? I am in Xi'an right now and currently looking for a Baji teacher. My last was nearly 1000 miles away in northern China and I'm aching to find a new one.
@@humanusername5732 Same here. Was curious about it. It looks like a cool chinese style of kickboxing. Could definitely be combined with boxing and muay thai to really bring out its potential for real fights.
does anyone know what the name to the form that is being demonstrated? These are very kewl. It is great that someone took the time to document and share with the world something like this.
i read from sources PAUL uses bajiquan in TEKKEN and when i see this vid, i believe it. It's powerful and deadly. The emperor/ dynasty army also practice this stuff.
@capfudge Can you kick knees using shoes in MMA? Can you use shoes in general in mma? There are aspects of martial arts that you use in fight sports, but martial are are also strategy. In real life, if you take down somebody, you kick his face with shoes, for example, you don't give him time to get up (angry) and break your face. I think that for sports fighting it's better something like thai boxe, because it's more adaptable to a competition with rules.
Agreed! RUclips search Chi Qingsheng to see some explosive Old Yang Style forms as his teacher was a discipline of Yang Shao Hou and Yang Cheng Fu. You'll find two beautiful Changquan forms of Old Yang style and one Yang Shao Hou small frame that is explosive with even a spinning jump kick. One of the ways Tai chi chuan was practiced. Liang De Hua is a disciple of the aforementioned Masters and is starting to teach it all online now including the Yang family Ba Duan Jin neigong and one of the Changquan fast forms to the public. They are beautiful and powerful. Love Kung Fu and authentic lineage results like in this video!
woah what beautifull moves seems like dancing :D The first form seems to me like close combat right? The second somehow too, difficult to see the differences! About the third I have to think :o Can't rly understand it... But I rly liked the 4th one! Seems interessting to me :) Baqi Quan he?
We know that saying too. Just replace "kick" with "move". I'm not putting down repetition. I practice each individual move as warm up. I'm just trying to emphasize the importance of real world application. It's like learning how to ride a horse through books, but until you saddle up and ride one you will never know where the weakness is. Another name for this is called "Combat experience". Also remember when fighting, most people get nervous and freeze up their first time. There is a saying to -
Gotcha! I agree with you in that aspect. Often I'd watch MMA and think a drop elbow would break that hold or his jaw, but that move is illegal. But don't forget, same thing applies for all martial arts tournament matches. Elbows and knee strikes are taught, in Karate and TKD, but most of those techniques are banned from use during competition. I can see where they are coming from though; it's a sport, so they are trying to minimize serious injuries or accidental deaths.
yes, it's just a question of Romanization. Baguazhang was referred to as Pa kua chang (same ba/pa as in bajiquan, 八). The same way that Taijiquan has been written as t'ai chi chuan. (also notice the ji/chi is the same, 極 meaning "ultimate", or "extreme")
Yo tengo la siguiente pregunta porque grandes maestros de kung fu, taichi o cualquier otra disciplina nunca se han venido a vivir o a residir a México? Porque lo han hecho siempre a Europa o a USA? Acaso es por nivel económico?
Vuelvo a preguntar, el kung fu, el karate, el aikido, el wing chung, el judo, o lo que sea, puede combatir las fuerzas oscuras, hay algo documentado?, por favor contestarme.
Well repetition is one thing. But you still need application. Try to find people who know the martial art and apply what you practiced. Best one to start off with is have the person do the one-two punch (left hand-right hand; since it is the most common first attack to any fight) and use what you learned to either block/intercept/counter. Different people = different height, strength and habits. Also don't be afraid to get hit. No matter how good you are at martial arts, you will get hit.
all fights. 1. Dam(Courage/Bravery/Guts) - the second you are afraid is when all is lost, fear slows you down dramatically. 2.Lik(Strength/stamina) - self explanatory, which is why conditioning is mandatory like you said before finally 3. Kung Fu (your trained art). Sounds easy in theory but when you are in the situation it is hard to keep your mind thinking straight because of the adrenaline rush. With application you start to be able to control it more. BTW ism what is your art?
1 question, what is kung fu's main target points? I have always been wondering about that? Sorry for the meaningless question, I'm just a curious kendoka :D

Many little "martial experts" in the comments, who still shit in their pants when these men already mastered their art to perfection...
this just looks so powerful

There are different types of Baji, I studied a little of the Wudang stuff. I see elements of XinYi in this stuff.
True but the two styles have much in common
Wow the first guy got some strength in his moves!! he must have trained the basics for a long time!!

this is a very intense very powerful art form matter of fact i have this class today
oh good, have a good training !

Perfect. I want to learn.
Fizeram até um Pokémon baseado nesse estilo, o Urshifu kkk
Akira YUKI....
Excellent! Excellent indeed!
He throws quite a few. Most kicks are thrown at the thigh, or shin of the opponent.
Baji Quan is about short movements, high kicks and knees take a lot longer to pull off than a kick to the shin.
No higher than groin
what style of bajiquan is thia????
I came here because kenji and the history of master Li
How far does this martial art system date back to? Who are some of the pioneers of it?
Read a manga called kenji

beautiful movements. Also looks effective and powerful. In any case this is an excellent watch.
It's hard to tell what's going on behind the movements. The important thing is the energy behind it all, not the actual movements.

great to see some real baji for a change
It looks like the sober version of drunken style. Also looks like bird techniques, chicken or goose. I love it.
when he throws a punch, i can feel the power as if i got hit. just like bruce said: gongfu punch is like a iron ball atteched to an iron chain, whack
bones are hard but not iron. Bruce lee was a honk kong cinema punk with a break in LA.
I didn't even realize that Leo or Akira knew Baji Quan, until I played DoA5 and saw Kokoro.

1 question, what is kung fu's main target points? I have always been wondering about that? Sorry for the meaningless question, I'm just a curious kendoka :D
A lot of kung fu forms have additional movements just to cover up the real techniques, that's how they prevent people from stealing moves.
