I haven't seen this kuen in real life. It's like basic wushu physics, right? So wood is like wing chun, ok. That's something I would like to see, so we have here a kuen based on external?
@misterlau5246 I'm not to sure about that. Most Xing Yi seems fairly linear and well not hard style but looks like it would be the Xing Yi I study is a little less linear. Yeah I've always been told if you wanted to say what Element Wing Chun is it would be Wood based off the principles of each. If I'm not mistaken the Wing Chun Fist I've seen called arrow fist which fits perfectly with a wood concept is also very similar to the Wood fist. I'm sure there's differences but it's got the same concept.
I studies Hsing-I Chuan from Grandmaster Wai Lun Choi in Chicago for 15 months in 1993 and 1994. I stopped to go to school at night while I worked in the day time. I regret not completing my learning of such a powerful martial art. Your techniques look a lot like his “version” of Hsing-I Chuan.
I met him in Vegas for a Liuhebafa animal workshop. Such a character. My teach traveled to train with for a week or two a few year in a row to get his interpretations in LHBA
Kudos to Sifu Chan for the information(awesome and informative as always), but also Kudos to Chris for being a damn good Uke today, because it seems like he's takin a lot this time around ;) Appreciate him being a good dude and giving us a more visual representation of how this stuff works.
@@emilianosintarias7337 unfortunately I don't. But I'm so glad that I found Sifu Adam and learn from him. His teaching is pragmatic, very detailed and progresive. His take on Daoism and meditation is great too!
I have a few questions. It seems like every lineage of Xingyi interprets the 5 fists (and 12 animals) in radically different ways. Like, way more radically than most stylistic differences between karate styles even! I've always interpreted Pao Quan 炮拳 almost like a Mexican Uppercut where you expand your abs, push out with the Dantian, and lift like with an uppercut, but end by thrusting forward with a power-side (rear) straight punch instead of slashing at the chin with an uppercut. Here, I'm seeing Sifu Adam do a lot of Pao Quan with his lead hand also. In terms of body mechanics, do you believe that any of the 5 fists refer specifically to differences in power between the lead and rear hands?
Great to see your perspective on this we used to call this hawk flies through forest when you use the lead leg lead arm more traditionally PAO is done with the rear hand power coming from the rear leg and the rotation of the torso the power is a little different done with the lead hand as in Hawk flights through forest because there is not as much torso rotation thanks again
I've used the movement shown @2:55 lately in my own drills but I also add the straight short steel bar with weights on it that Bruce made popular for his isometrics or is one inch punch/straight blast or straight lead for that matter. A metal bar with light weights on it can help so much in building explosive power and being direct using the straight shape of the bar as a centre line that moves. The snap at the end helps your fist clench and forearm strength holding the weight itself and the end of the snap You can also teach yourself to be loose till the end when the snap comes and holding this weight completely still at the snap is really effective for conditioning. I have taken it a step further with a hollow bar filled with sand 2/3rd's and a hollow cylinder at the end also filled with sand 2/3rd's as to have a moving resistance with the sand when you snap your fistt up at the end of movement. I know it may sound a little hokey but trust me. I seen a difference in my power , speed and snap within 2 weeks after I made this using it every day. I have used it for years now doing hundreds of reps. I use a red bar as a visual aspect to see that I am lining up straight with my target. Try it out. It's cheap to make. Get some sand from the beach. It doesn't have to be a steel pipe at first ...it can be a PVC pipe. Soon you will want it to be more heavy though. Bruce taught me to make a lot of my own gadgets or objects to train harder and be more efficient. cheers ...and be water my friends
Does doing Chinese strength exercises help fortify these principles, in terms of energy deflection, absorption and redirection, and chi projection or direction
3:03 The first thing I noticed, and this is not a criticism, in any way. Just an observation. That high KAO SAO stop hand, coupled with that lead JUNG DA. I’m concerned that the power, and pain n distraction levels might not be enough. Especially against a superior foe. The other thing was. Should we be stepping in to center with an outside stop hand and hit? What if he throws any number of combinations. A 1-2. Anything other than a straight punch. The double TAN SAO thing, where you use them on Chris’s shots till you catch a PAK SAO. I don’t think that’s a good method of training. And again. That’s not to say anything is wrong. But if this is WING CHUN. We wanna use the SHAOLIN different. More active. Here’s what I mean. 1. TAKE OUT HIS LEAD HAND on the way to the head. A direct slipping off is all that is needed when there’s a hand contact. Right hand lead pak sao becomes lead BUI SAO. Now our left goes underneath. We shift. And take out his back hand by hitting up center from a SHIFTED POSITION. ☮️✅☺️just ideas to think about. I do realize this is the TAI CHI way. ✅☺️💯5 FISTS way is not wrong. If I can get you to think about the trap. I just wondered why they didn’t go after BOTH HANDS. 😇☮️☺️still, a cool video. I get it. Destroy the structure. 💯💥
I have not seen hsing i kuen in real life. Looks.. Well.. Wushu has many things... Is there a chance that for ONCE Chris does the demonstration and you receive the pain, Adam sifu?
The opponent should not be knocked back by the receiving/rear arm. Pao deflects and draws the opponent in and onto the striking hand. Pao imitates the withdrawal of the spear on the high line. Rear hand twists and elbow fires back, this withdrawing force is passed to the lead hand to power the strike.
после некоторого времени самостоятельных занятий я пришёл к устойчивому выводу, что пао это боковой удар. Кто-то зарисовал в конечной точке мастера, а то что он пришёл в неё по дуге не нарисовал.
Your comments about the shoulder weakness is why the movement is wrong structurally. You explained it and so you know it but then you make some special situation to alllow the problem. If your frame is natural, your shoulder sinks. You don’t exceed the natural structure. Go look at Han Jing Chen’s movements to see the difference. Two hands are one, but your monkey hands have also broken structure. Placed in a poor position for some special purpose.
This has nothing to do with Xingyiquan. I doubt you have actually studied the art with a qualified teacher over longer time. Poor way to capitalize off of something.
This is incredible @4:20
Using the structure from your block to hit them harder, I love this fist. Thank you Sifu Chan
I've never seen that before, that was awesome!
Love the Xing Yi videos! Looking forward to seeing Earth Fist next!
Same 😊
Wing Chun players have been steadily picking up XingYi since the early 90s
@rudiepunkunity101 haha yeah I did the same a few years back. Xing Yi is great. Wing Chuns fist has alot of similarities to the Wood fist as well

Really digging your xingyi videos. Cant wait for the next one! Gg
I have not watched in a long time good job your showing the positioning of the legs. This is cool

Thanks Chris for the visual feedback of Adam's energetics.
Post training is the essence, thank you Sifu!
do you know of any xing yi sifus in VN?

@@emilianosintarias7337 you live in VN?
@@chitoannguyen6516 yes
Forgive my ignorance but I'm a Silat and Southeast Asian style guy. What is post training?
Dear Adam. Is detailed explanation of pose training also in the program please? Cheers
Awesome!

Beautiful teaching!
The "shield arm" could also be used to takedown, when you grab someone's elbow.
Excellent demo! Thank you for posting
Nice work brother “
There’s nothing like the sung power in all martial arts! Thanks for sharing Adam ✌️

Greetings Sifu Chan, thank you for the in depth explanation☀️🌿🙏🏾
So what is Seven Star Stepping, in reference to Xing Yi?
Xing Yi rocks 💪🏻
Hey Adam, any recommendations on xingyi teachers in Ontario?
Thanks for this Video! I bet one day, Chris will show up in a entire knights armor

Wow .amazing stuff ❤
thank you Sir!
Hi Adam. Just caught this now. I’ll leave a few comments.
My JKD instructor was very well-versed in shingi but I unfortunately did not get to do much of it
Very good
Great Video! Poor Chris!
So I need to move to where you are.
Nice
It's like an advanced laan da, cool

Rear hand twists and elbow fires back, this withdrawing force is passed to the lead hand to power the strike.
You wont feel what his talking about unless you do stances and certain stance excercises which he mentions post training.
This is xing yi not dachengquan :)
после некоторого времени самостоятельных занятий я пришёл к устойчивому выводу, что пао это боковой удар. Кто-то зарисовал в конечной точке мастера, а то что он пришёл в неё по дуге не нарисовал.

you really gotta take him off guard and show us/him what you have learned ,Chris,.
or does modesty prevent it?
just step into a few and apply...
This has nothing to do with Xingyiquan. I doubt you have actually studied the art with a qualified teacher over longer time. Poor way to capitalize off of something.
Мне тоже так показалось , но то что здесь демонстрируется емеет место в применении в реальной ситуации .
Thoughts on power issuing when front foot landing or back foot following? Thx
Awesome! ❤ Xing Yi
Nice
