Great posture . I love good Pakua that follows the 64 rules, it teaches the body to turn in automatic and natural way. We enjoy several styles and weapons.
Hello Sensei Yang - Questions for the next Q&A Video: 1. In recent video you said that Chen and Yang Tai chi are deferent in their method of developing and activating the Chi and Fa the JIN. Chen using Silk reeling method and Yang style do something else. In that respect, could you elaborate on the case of Yang Luchan; how is it possible the Yang Luchan did not incorporate Silk reeling method into Yang tai chi? When he established the Yang style? 2. Regarding K1 point (Yong Quan point) 2.1. Does it is related to producing JIN (as in FAJIN), to silk reeling or to Neigong practice? If so, how? 2.2. Why is it called the bubbling spring? In relation to martial arts or Neigong practice. 2.3. Does right or correct experience must be of bubbling ascending or descending from this foot area? 3. In some of your Videos regarding Xiu Dao practice, you mentioned that postnatal chi can transform into prenatal Chi (Yuan chi). 3.1. In Xiu Dao practice, Does the energy of thinking and emotions (postnatal energy) do transform to prenatal energy, when it descend to the Dantian, and empty mind is achieved? 3.2. Does energy from food can turn to be energy in the quality of prenatal chi? 3.3. How is Shen related to prenatal energy? Does Shen can be enriched by Prenatal energy? 3.4. If the trainee just sit in meditation, and let go of everything ; Can postnatal chi turn to be prenatal, without specific inner active practices? Not focusing on anything?
Thank you for making the series. Many styles of bagua have different variations of mud stepping (Tang Ni Bu). Whether it be heel touching the ground first like in Cheng style bagua or entire foot like Liang Style bagua. Also, hand positioning varies, too. Ji Ben Gung (Basics) that you are showing and explaining are excellent. Please keep up the good work and videos. 👍
Thank you very much. I appreciate your clear and detailed descriptions,they are very helpful. If you have someone operating the camera,a few closeups would be great,(like when you are showing the palm,or similar,)to get a better view. But because your descriptions are so good, this is not such a concern as it could be otherwise. Thanks again.
This is a great demonstration. My teachers never did the traditional approach to mud stepping. It is in any event more of a training device -- and isn't ubiquitous. When you see video clips of sun lutang style circle walking, it's always much more casual taiji step, "just walking". If there's any of that glide, it is understated. Nevertheless, circle walking itself is a training device, foundational to Bagua applications but is not an application in itself. So there's a sound reason to practice the mud stepping approach where you glide forward after making light contact. I've dabbled with it a bunch over the years... but never really feel like I've got the hang of it. Sometimes the shoe tread is too strong and the foot won't slide, unless you're doing it in slippers on a wood floor, and then it's like you're ice skating rather than rooting. Or it's outside and your foot catches on roots or uneven ground. I'm going to have to try to work on it some more.
@dragonphoenix_kungfu regardless of the surface you're walking on? I can keep the foot slightly above the ground no problem, but once it's been rooted the foot doesn't want to move unless the surface is smooth.
@@JCurcio It all comes down to internal balance and managing your center of gravity. If weight is on the front foot, then it will stick. If it is pushing off of the back foot, then not so much. You do not want to root the foot when it is sliding The foot should only slide 3-4 inches at most. This involves developing listening skills with the feet.
@dragonphoenix_kungfu ah... that makes sense. spent so long learning to root and pull immediately on contact with the ground in other contexts that it's probably working against me. I'll experiment with leaving the leading foot empty longer
@@JCurcio right on. Some of these finer details are difficult to find without the guidance of a qualified teacher. Baguazhang is my favorite style, but it took me forever to find a high level teacher from China who could teach me these details. I've found many of the teachers here in the states learned mostly from the Pa Kua Journal. Its the little details, or "secrets", that make all the difference.
Can you also introduce the variety of circle walking? For examples: mud stepping, natural stepping, and crane (or rooster) stepping. Maybe there's more that I don't know...
@@HaiYangChannelI have another question, if you don't mind. For fajin, I read that mingjin is for xingyi, while anjin is for bagua. I'm not sure if it is considered basic or not, but how do you practice anjin when doing bagua fajin?
In studying Sun style bagua, I was taught that the inner foot should only move in the straight line, and only the outer foot should curve to create the circle walk. What are you thought on this? I was taught by Tim Cartmell.

This is a great series! It is always good to go back to basics.
Thank you for the directions and for your time. This is great help to my practice.

I will find a chance to answer those questions for you.
We are in Vancouver WA. I am trying to get outside everyday before the rain season! Great video as always!

Heel doesn't touch the ground first in Cheng style.

You are welcome. Nobody here to manage the camera for me.

Friction with the floor has to do with balance and center of gravity.

Focusing on the basic is the most important.

用法希望
Never been a fan of the long step tang ni bu. I just don’t get it. Otherwise, goo video.
Good for strengthening roots and as a training tool for developing Bagua skills.
It is useless to train for many years while walking in the running zone
Really?
are you the walking police?
