      After watching this a while and and watchng it again today, it's become clearer to me that this is what O-Sensei was doing, but not any of his students except maybe Tohei and Gozo Shioda and probably only parts of it... O-Sensei did go to China for some time where he may have learned this... at around 16:00 it seems that from boxing range you don't "need" to apply jin because the boxer is not really in a dangerous range, you can just step back and be safe and run, but in any range where the attacker could be in a dangerous range the fa jin would happen, according to what he is saying, of course he's leaving 99% of it out because he's not allowed to tell people about it... in this aspect the fa jin may just be a natural form of self defense that is latent in us because maybe we are at a lower stage in civilizational development, during the "Golden Ages" maybe everyone was walking around with a full dan tien and if you attacked them you would just bounce off from the natural fa jin... my Aikido teacher who studied a lot of different martial arts including Tai Chi once put his chi into me and I was totally relaxed and unmovable, he couldn't move me and he didn't say anything but he was like "see, that's how it feels..." that's how it is, total relaxation but unmovable. There are other aspects of this that I've felt in Aikido from different teachers, like being stuck... but the Aikido masters don't think of it in that way, they are just doing "that" technique and it works because you get stuck to them. I wish they would just give all the secrets, but I guess it might be too dangerous to the practitioner to do that since you get get the chi moving in the wrong way and harm yourself or even kill yourself accidentally without a good teacher.

      How many practitioners have you seen? Or do you mean best on RUclips? It's very hard to judge watching a video. Most people buy things based on how good the advertising is, not how good the product actually is. To decide which martial art to study, you have to meet your potential teachers, not base it on how cool they look in videos.

      Mike Martello I think may have been at a higher level before he died. By western do you mean non-Asian people, as in race, or do you mean out of people living in the west? Because if you are referring to people who live in the west, then I would say Zhang Yun in the USA and Guan Nan Wang in South Africa are way higher. Especially Zhang Yun.

      Adam Mizner doesn’t even know the basic definitions of words like Chi and he doesn’t seem to know that Ji is a different word than Chi.
      In practice, Mizner tosses his students around using Fa Jin but if you listen to the words he uses to instruct, it’s all incorrect.
      He says you can’t be a weightlifter and do Taiji. He could not be less correct or more incorrect. The advice he’s giving you is bad.
      He says you don’t even have a Dantian until you practice Chi Kung. He’s wrong, everybody has Dantian lol that’s like saying I don’t have lungs or a heart.
      He’s a moron. Do you know the difference between the word Ji and the word Chi/Qi?? If so you know more than Mizner LOL

    Very nice video! I like how mr Mizner is realistic/humble about his style instead of stubbornly saying how his style does this and that and that always works. By saying it sometimes fails (at least in terms of the ideal solution, of course Tajiquan has several additional layers such as the force he mentions at the end of the video), he becomes so much more credible in the things he shows. Very impressive.
    The principles seem very related to wing chun, in terms of receiving force, sticking with it, and moving in when there is a way forward, with the difference being probably that WC does the latter mostly by striking.
    Look forward to the next video :-)

    What Sifu Adam said about internal “song” is the crux of Taichi. However, I learned that it’s also relative, its important not to be too loose when doing push hands so that opponent will advance, the degree of looseness should be in response to the degree of incoming “Jin”. “Bu Diu Bu Ding” is the goal , stick to the opponent with softness and fluidity.

    • @Ulf_Ulfurson
      @Ulf_Ulfurson 8 месяцев назад +1

      I think these are very detailed perspectives. Basic knowledge is passed on here. But you are already in the senior idea. Adapting and dealing with the incoming forces is a very important element and you are absolutely right. It's hard to go into this in depth in a video. There are always several paths and perspectives that lead to the same goal without violating the foundation.

      @@Livingtree32 Us westerners call it superhuman force because it is so much more than we have been taught our muscles can generate. Nor does it look real because of how convinced we are due to western culture that this isnt possible. Though we see animals do it all the time. It’s not actually superhuman, it’s actually more accurately the exact same force type that animals default to using. Animals are many times more powerful than humans due to the state their brains are wired in, hence why mental cultivation is of the utmost importance in martial arts that are aiming for this force. If you weren’t aware, humans are animals as well and we have the same force output available to us as any other animal, so long as the conditions are met for the force were aiming for, hence all the training aimed at slower movements, and pushing hands as these are two awesome tools to show you where you still have yet to correctly release your structure, muscles, tissues etc, when you can achieve full body release through your entire being, you will have met the conditions required for using the force Adam is displaying. It’s not really that hard to understand how and why its working when you feel force from someone who hasn’t fucked around and trained correctly for many years, what is hard, is believing it, especially when its in front of your eyes happening to you for the first time. Same force Bruce Lee was learning through wing chun, he never mastered it and liked using muscle power alongside it, but anyone with the brain to recognise it will see how fast he could move, and how much power he could get out of muscular usage combined with this mental state. Most people cant seem to add things up apparently. Ah well, experience trumps everything, so you will never technically be wrong in your opinions if it lays outside of your experience and cant fit into the parameters of logic for you. But the moment you experience something of this nature your opinion would likely change. (depends who you meet though and how good/released they are).
      I will say however, if you do meet someone who claims they can do this and you feel them using pushing/pulling/grabbing forces on you, then they cannot do this in the slightest. You will not be able to detect the person moving no matter how you grab them resist them etc. If you ever feel this force from someone that is how you will know they are using released tensegrity. (this force is commonly felt off of babies fyi)
      I will leave it there, do with the information what you will, your path is yours to walk alone, I hope it takes you to the top my friend. Good luck and be well! :)

    It is a cool transition. I know wing chun isn't thought of as a soft style but since the key to it is a lack of tension, coming from a strong karate and boxing background it took me a while to relax into the ease of wing chun. But once I did it took my boxing to a whole new level. I personally believe relaxation is key in any hard or soft style.

    • @Ulf_Ulfurson
      @Ulf_Ulfurson 8 месяцев назад

      Yes, I see it exactly the same as you and have had the same experience. Relaxation is the key along with proper body mechanics using physics. Internal forces are the forces that cannot be seen. You could call it chi but I think it's mechanics and physics! It is good skill. Tai Chi Masters have a strong structure, even a judoka can only bring a Tai Chi master down with great difficulty. I have seen that.
      I have learned a few Wing Chun systems but only a few use the correct physics and mechanics when standing or the Sifu can do it but doesn't teach it! As an example, Shui Shon Tin taught all of this as a basic element, but he wasn't the only one.
      It is taught and said in Wing Chun:
      Bad Siu Nim Tau /Sil Lim Tao...bad Wing Chun/Ving Tsun but which technique is most trained in the first form? The fook Sau, the yat ji kuen, the sau kuen? No the yi ji kim jeung ma... ergo, bad stance, bad Wing Chun and bad stance, bad Kung Fu or bad martial arts. The art to stand right! (Joke: Not flying dragon Kung Fu lol) If you can't stand properly, you don't need to start running and he can have the most perfect movements in chi sao or anywhere else...everything "stands" or falls with the stance, the Yi kim jeung ma in wing chun!! In other martial arts with their stances. Sorry, that was too long.

    I had the opportunity to push with Adam pre-covid. It is clear 2024 he is even better than 2019 but even in 2019 "car accident" was an accurate description. Adam was humble, polite and respectful. I will never be at his martial level, Huang Sheng-Shyan's or my Sifu in Vancouver but "I" can work on self discipline, humility, patience and respect. When at the top, you get much hate. Many years ago I trained a while with Dr. Yang Jwing Ming. He mentioned someone asked him to sign one of his books but as he was signing they kicked him in the head. He signed giving the book back and let it go. That's essentially what happens when arm chair warriors sit back and claim Adam's skill is not authentic. They look Big but wouldn't actually do a seminar to find out.

    But all that from a higly trained and expereienced view, however, with less emphasis on steps, even though mentioned.
    To make my point more clear, in classical Karate, we have been taught :
    - beginners , keeping the distance, moving in big circles,
    -intermediate students "fighting " at closer, i.e medium distance, or learning angles using sidesteps
    - advanced can already play with distances and angles and lear timing , even thorught etc.
    Having spent over three decades in dojo, readers would appreciate presenbtation structured as above.

      it's more about your brain cells coordinating what you do with body. simply put, you can't have external martial arts instincts butting in, when sequencing taichi movements.
      if you can achieve this distinction, yes you can or should be able to operate both external and internal.
      it's a matter of getting to what internal art is about, hence the focus, and exclusion of external art influences to internal art beginning point at least. thereupon you can practice both internal and external art properly.
      and if you can't developed both concurrently..... find one you like and further it.
      suit yourself.

    Thank you for this video and your great channel.

Learning how to build a true taiji animal takes years. It sounds like you need to unlearn your external style to master the internal style.

    Mr. Martial Man, I really enjoy your interview with the Kung fu practitioners, I did have a hard time seeing street functionality with Sifu Mizner’s Tai chi. many of us have seen those videos that discredit certain Kung Fu practitioners...Bullshido videos were the teacher barely touches the student and they fly wildly backwards or the student acts as the teachers happy helper. I actually found Sifu Mizner very interesting, but I think I got really lost in Tai Chi’s internal approach. and, with getting lost come thoughts of...”no way could he out class a skilled boxer...” which may show how shallow I am as a martial art student. I think another video diving deeper into the internal aspect of the martial system would help students like me...I can’t be the only guy thinking “this Sifu appears real and sincere, but I don’t see this internal stuff working for me on the streets late at night. thank you again for your videos

    Ah, see this is where the BIG difference between I Liq Chuan and Adam's taiji is! A lot of people will try to say they are the same but Adam's statement "there's nothing natural about the internal way" is very telling. Putting aside any judgement of which style is "better", this is the real clincher, because the entire premise of the I Liq Chuan way is it's harmonizing with nature. It's already there, you simply train to recognize it, not to create something, or build something.

      反者道之動;弱者道之用
      Reversal is the movement of the Dao; Its function lies in Weakness.

    Are the strikes done using internals or is it an external muscle thing? I got the impression that it's counter productive doing push-ups and building muscle mass. So what does one do to get powerful strikes? For examp,e, Mizner showed an elbow strike as an option to end the fight. Where is the power coming from for an elbow strike or a kick etc?

    • @affalee8216
      @affalee8216 Год назад

      building mass counterproductive to coordination of sequencing. it's like dumping a rock(mass) onto middle of road.
