I just got your message, I would like to answer your question openly. In order to see a video where the attacker throws real punches, as you asked, I think the best way is to punch me by yourself! in this way, you will see how Ba Gua work. Plus, there are so many techniques for different attacks, for jad, we do not grab but we will use other techniques. So please find a person who is good at Ba Gua and try with him, or when you have chance, come here to try with me if you want.
This the high level fighting side of the art of Ba Gua, rarely seen in RUclips videos or even other instructional videos with a few exceptions. Outstanding.
This teacher is fucking good. I love his style of teaching using real life speed and demanding you do just as he does. What he teaches is pure self defense combat designed to end an encounter in seconds. This is not sport fighting or bullshitsu as most Mcdojos and RUclips so called masters teach, this is real martial science/art and it works on the street well. This guy is truly a rare person, a genuine master of an effective martial art. Homage
Dean Miller Plus there’s another element that one cannot see and that is his power. When you meet any of these people, that the first thing you realise that you didn’t and can’t pick up by just watching
My favorite martial arts teacher was a girl from Korea she fixed my punch she had to tell me at first I punched like pu$$ y but I just had my elbow bent I'm in good shape so now I punch great sometimes someone needs to just say it
i am the teacher in the video, i do not call myself master since the word master is for other people to use, for example, when people call me, the use this word master to me, but i will not use it by myself... i am glad to know that you see the difference between yours to the forms i am teaching.
All these superquick turns, circles and takedowns. Impressive and brutally effective methinks. The students are moving in slowmotion compaired to the skilled Master. Deep knowledge of the form is Everything. ^_^ Thank you for the share Sifu.
I've trained in Bak Mei for 8 years so far. Bak Mei has internal sets and applications, and this video is useful for me to see another internal style's applications. I can see the parallels. This is a good sifu.
very impressive applications. i love how the forms really come to life and can be applied to an actual fighting scenario. every part of the form comes into play. incredible footwork. awesome vid!!
... But all out sparring doesn't work as well as in striking-only styles - one of you would have a broken ankle or knee, a dislocated shoulder etc. That is why internal stylists are a little tired of being told their techniques "don't work" by people who mis-understand them. Yes these are single defenses against single attacks, but we train to be able to effectively combine them and adapt fluidly to attacks.
I am really enjoying Master Hai Yang videos. I've been studying bagua for about five years now. It's so great to be able to send my fellow students to videos like this to see real world applications of what we've been learning. Thanks so much!
I don't know much about Bagua and I wish i had the chance to study it. But I've always enjoyed the evasive circular motion of it. I know it's entirely silly but for "practice when i was in high school in dodgeball i'd dodge using similar circular movements. The momentum you build up is very interesting. I wish I had an chance to study it formally.
This is my favourite video of Baguazhang applications! The school I go to in Australia teaches a different style of Baguazhang that derives from Jiang style to intermediate students. I’m still a beginner in Internal Martial Arts learning Mián Quán, and hopefully soon in the future Chen Style Taìjí Quán. I really enjoy seeing the differences between styles. 😁
Very awesome applications. I love the way you go right into the circle after applications or when you discharge energy in the lifting of the palms and how you stay in close and bridge to get inside....
Very awesome applications. I love the way you go right into the circle after applications or when you discharge energy in the lifting of the palms and how you stay in close and bridge to get inside.... Please be mindful of the Kuntao Silat triangle response to being circled. You can find it in my favorites on my channel. Also be mindful of Wing Chun applicaton of Wu Chin as they costantly train to keep their three fronts at the center of their opponent. Makes it hard to flow around them...
I forgot about these videos. One of a very few good Baguazhang application videos on the web. Next time I come cross country ill like to come train with you
hello, you have a interesting name, and you are a self-taught martial people, according to your information. could you please do me a personal favour that I would like to see one of your video clips, it is not necessary to be very long but just want to see what your form looks like, that will be great!!! I am anxiously waiting for your inspiriting video. And please let me know as soon as you post them on youtube.
good stuff. thank you for posting. I know for a lot of people its overwhelming, but I've studied chinese martial arts most of my life, so I am very familiar with almost all of these techniques. and like I said, very nice stuff here.
yes. i have trained for nine years under master Jian Hwa Zhou, student of chinese & world grandmaster Cai Long Yun. He has coached me in a one-on-one basis in taiji and buagazhang for much of that time. Truth be told, bagua is my most recent endevour. But i HAVE used taiji IN A STREET SITUATION and can speak from experience that it was effective against the attacks used on me(shove and wild hook)but i felt that if my opponent was a good boxer, a harder approach would have been more appropriate.
another point to this argument is that bagua moves, when applied with force may break or cripple an opponent, joint locks, particularly those combined with throws must be practiced in a controlled way or you will hurt your friends. There are numerous training methods to train for faster reaction, for feeling the impact of an opponent's attack and working with your response.
Wow, all this teacher's videos have been inspiring. I've only studied the Baguazhang of the Fu Zhensong lineage from the grandson (Sheng Long "Victor" Fu), but this is the closest I've come across to seeing how the applications were taught by anyone else other than him...and Victor was much older. So to see the mix of softness and explosiveness expressed here is very encouraging and motivating for my own practice. Thank you very much for your videos. They are very full of detail to those who have the interest and/or experience to appreciate them.
@@HaiYangChannel just because something is old, doesn't mean it lacks in quality ;) I just subscribed to your channel. I look forward to catching up with all of your content...old and new.
Great video good way to get beginners introduced into the wonderful world that is bagua i have been studying ba gua under master rick pickens who studied under master john winglok Ng i have a linear style which is more straight to the point with breaks and dimock i would enjoy posibly exchanging info so i can have a more controling aspect instead of clean cut take the opponets life aspect i would greatly appriciate it
Great demostration on the applications of Bagua. It is alway difficult to see them in just only the form with out some contect as to how to use it. I have always had a strong interest in Bagua. I like its footwork and thinking in that you dont stand there and get hit. Move and use it for both defense and offence.
What a good video, I saw everyone and I learned a lot, you are very good, if you can, it would be very good to see more of this class too, thank you very much for taking the time
I like and appreciate bagua and studied for a few years. But, I've yet to see it in use against a truly resisting opponent moving full speed. I would like to.
for you guys that want to improve your bagua or just your understanding of the human anatomy and how to maniulate it ...try the southeast asian arts like silat,kun tao (which comes from kung fu) trust me ive been studying them for the last 4 1/2 years and they have given a whole new insight into what ive previously studied including kung fu ...the beauty about them is that they are taught based off principles so u learn quick, effectively and u dont have to worry bout learning a huge curriculum
This is a drill practice session. If the arm is not caught, the practitioner may follow the arm in, or/and go for the body to grapple, whereupon any catching of limbs or body parts thereafter (and this is the critical bit of logic to note) is as plausible as UFC/MMA/BJJ stuff we are all so familiar with, but done Bagua style (takedown, without actually going to ground with the opponent).
This is pretty cool. Good apps for bagua. I've been studying baguazhang 64 mother palms for over a year now... and swimming dragon bagua for 1/2 year and I love it! Also studying taichi, hsing-i, and northern mantis. Bagua is by far my favorite though.
I like it. This is what I call bagua. In Europe normally you see a lot of guys walking in circle believing that it's the secret of universal power ahahha. Greetings from a Bajiquan student.
no need to be sorry. god knows what his doing...."wants and dont wants" are barriers for your prosperity and evolving. when you gone beyond, you will find true tao....respect! i love you anyhow ;)
Hahaha...Ba Gua is such a deadly beautiful art. Ashame, a lot of videos posted on youtube dont really display the core of the style. Most of martial arts today used segments of Ba Gua...ask Bruce Lee. Awesome post!
Now THIS is how you are supposed to train applications. I would say, if the camera wasn't their, the Shifu would have slown down the application demonstration
Also, like SuperJavie said, Ba gua is one of just a handful of Kung Fu styles that are effective in real combat. The techniques are not so simple so it takes a very long time of repeating them in practice so one can actually execute them properly in real combat. That is something most hooligans can't understand and so they often dismiss these arts out of pure ignorance.
Is this art form an rooted in Kung Fu? It appears to have many of the circular moves, footwork and positioning of Kung Fu. This looks like a pretty cool Martial Art to learn. Thanks for posting.
sometimes one needs to accept a little critique to learn more and think over if everything one is doing is correct... for example if everyone is praising you for being so perfect then you should start worrying if they are really your friends.
hi, i looked a bit better at your tape (you said i should not look at it but :-)) and... it has some very interesting aplications indeed (actually most of it is quite good) Does your teacher perform the solo excercise somewhere on tape here? That would be intresting to see! thanks for posting anyway ! greetz g
think of them as just enhancements to what you currently study ... since u learn fast and their are no forms to remember they will not change what you do by alot (for those who are worried about preserving the art). to be honest they wont change it at all just how you look a combat ...
I am lineage sifu of Ho (Ho Kuen Ng's) Family BGZ. I recommend to always move swiftly from a thrown opponent or flow straight into follow up attacking. WHY? The thrown opponent may grab your legs and topple you and get you into a grappling situation.
Impressive. Just one question..what branch of bagua is this. I practice Gao. Though there is a likeness of movements the applications are different. Real nice clip. Anyone who says otherwise is inexperienced.
...now ive done some kung fu in my time ( very little bagua ) i dont clame to be the super master delux of the all knowing of martial arts but i do know enough about martial arts (which ive been studying several different ones for many many years) to tell you that this guy wether hes applying his Ba Gua techniques to their exact specification or not he definately knows what hes doing
i'm not saying that you were dancing, :-) just was curious if this is really baqua that is all... some people sell different things under popular names sometimes ;-)

What aspects of Bagua/Taiji make them less effective against western boxing? Many striking arts are fast-hitting and work in combination. And these arts are the popular arts now. Do you mean to say that Bagua/Taiji is less effective against all these arts?
No, it doesnt look like the students are "letting" him. If you knew anything about martial arts or even boxing, you could tell the master in the vid has an absolutely superior foot work and good speed retaining quality in his technique.
Well it's clear that this is traditional MA, but i think what's throwing you off is that the training method is different. Where bagua videos show an app here or there, rarely do you see people PRACTICE apps to this many moves from forms. Also, the dude does xing yi and his fajin has that kind of flavor, so i guess he adds a personal touch to the bagua.
This is high form Bagua. This is also just a fraction of what Bagua can do. He's moving so fast it's hard for the uninitiated to perceive what he's doing. I'd like to see more of him. I study Bagua with Master Al Dukes in Naples, Florida.

looks similar to the sticky hands in basic traditional kali
Err -- a lead hand strike? Jab perhaps?
Deadly movements...
