This is a japanese video of Liu YunChiao. Liu YunChiao's teachers include baji/spear master Li Shu Wen, mantis master Ding Zi Cheng, and Yin style bagua master Gong Bao Tien.
Bajiquan were chosen to serve as bodyguards to the Chinese Emperors. Most where students of Li Shuwen. Such as Huo Diange bodyguard to Pu Yi (the last emperor of China), Li Chenwu bodyguard to Mao Zedong and Liu Yunqiao secret agent for the Kuomintang and instructor of the bodyguards of Chiang Kai-Shek. As a result Bajiquan became known as the 'Bodyguard' style
Great vid! I'm competing in a competition dedicated to GrandMaster Liu being put on my Master Tony Yang (a student of Master Liu) I'll be doing Xiao Ba Ji form among other things, and it was great to see a Grandmaster showcasing the style. Very Inspiring. Thanks for the great vid!
I played the wutang system under the late master sifu david schenk who learned from gm tony yang. Its cultivation of power, agility, flexibility, along with health and speed is unparralled in my humble opinion. Sifu d schenk also learned yoga though and incorporated it into the wutang system.
because you can see the difference between GM Liu's Baji and the current BaJi in China, his baji was influenced by BaKua, Pi Kua, etc. see alot more Ying Yang balance in the transitions.
What makes you think he brought Li Shuwen's Baji to another level? He only needed to be half as good as Li to be one of the best MAists of the 20th century.
When I switched to IOGKF (it being the only school near me), my sensei scrutinised me carefully and did not confirm me until a year later. He's the best sensei I've had in the 22 years I've learnt karate, but he just didn't want to waste his time teaching some random guy who will give-up after a few years.
Well said Pecherin. I have been looking for a traditional school in San Diego on and off with no luck. My buddy studied under a sensei(now sifu) that taught Hard Body techniques and used old school methods of training. Read getting beat, lol. He did this in the small park of the apartment complex. At his new school he has to abide by the liability laws so he can't train like he used to. O took me to visit and Sifu made him spare a Black Belt that had a bit of attitude.
@Pecherin72 Agreed, my Sifu for example screens and turns away quite a few and then will only teach everything to full apprentices. Not even disciples get quite all of our system, we have to earn everything we are given. That is how it should be, hard work and character earn the master's attention, not one's wallet. *bows* Live well and Train well.
I think you are probably right. Lui's style is very pure and original. I never asked any one to show me the most important aspects of Bagua, so not quite sure why you used part of my comment to explain what you just did.
Grandmaster Liu's system has flourished in the Western hemisphere with former students teaching in Philadelphia (baztaichi.com), New York (wutang.org), Akron, OH (wutangcenter.com), New Jersey (wutan.org), Cupertino, CA (wutangcenter.com), Toronto, Canada (bajimen.org), Montreal, Canada (wutang-canada.com), and Brazil to name a few.
How is that a reply to my comment? We no longer live in a time of feudal wars. Most people who do internal martial arts do if for self improvement of character etc. I have a lot of respect for masters of these arts, but like I said, I do not look highly up to them, nor would I suck up to them. We are part of a universal consciousness. Personally I would share anything with anybody who had a good heart. Information belongs to no one. The more open people are, the better this world will be. :)
i don't think the yin yang balance is really visible, unless you mean the rhythm. Cuz his rhythm is definetly very different from chinese baji. But chinese baji differs from each other as well, i wouldn't be so quick to say he's the only one who was influenced by bagua. Almost all chinese baji is influenced by pigua, that's for sure.
I have trained with Master Wu, he is direct linege of Liu Yun Chiao. I asked one of his students if he could teach me Bagua Zhang and the answer was 'no' because I am not of any lineage. I think you need to suck up to these guys if you want training. I can't be bothered with all that, so I have taken a trip to China to learn Chen family taijiquan from Chen Bin. Different class of people, but good luck on your quest. Send me an email, I may be able to direct to a list of Master Liu's disciples.
No one said to suck-up to them. I was thinking more of sincerity and respect. Especially if it was a famous master. In karate, there have been many many people who claim to have learnt from the founding masters, after having learnt the art for a year or two, gone off and started mcdojos and made big bucks, and many karate schools in the world teach watered down stuff to unsuspecting students.
Well O only got to Green. O handily beat the kid cause he was able to take the blows and follow through with counters that laid the kid down. His technique was good but he couldn't take the blows O delivered. Sifu was in the process of closing his school and opening a private Dojo that only allowed students with experience and signed a clause that allowed him to train in the old ways.
I don't dispute what u say about sharing w people w the good heart. Its just hard 2 know who has a good heart and who doesn't. So many people have come to my sensei to ask for a black-belt so that they can teach. Some are TKD, some are Judo or Kung-fu or they train for 6 months and ask be given a belt, & offered to share half their fees with our Sensei. Needless to say, all got turned away. After having taught for more than 50 years, he has just grown more wary of opportunists.
@omga14 Do you live in San Diego? Wecan start pushing hands together. I am a pracitioner of Tai CHi myself I live in Mission Valley. Lets get together and practice.
Reputable schools only accept as students people of good character, humility, commitment and deication. It takes time to find out if a person is suitable to learn the art. Masters don't teach just because you want to learn or can afford to pay. They don't wanna produce half-baked students of thugs. Its not even about sucking them up. Its about you wanting it enough to ask and ask again. I'm always suspicious of teachers who simply teach everything to everyone who joins unreservedly.
I hear what you are saying, but I do not agree with such an antiquated system of learning. When you look high up to people, it always puts you in a lower position. I met master Wu last year and spiralled energy around him. As far as I'm aware he didn't feel a thing. I guess we are tuned in on different levels. I mix fire and water, I have already proved my loyalty to the tao. I don't feel I need to prove it to individuals.

this is the guy who brought Li Shu-Wen BaJi Quan to another level! legend!
baji quan is badass martial art. Rarely people know it

Maybe the question you should be asking is what is Chuck Liddel tried xingyi?
I am very proud to belong to Grand Master Liu Yuen Chiao wutan linage. This video it's awesome!
Willy Rivero O.P. Are there any schools from his lineage in America?
@@kepheramanjet3244 Wutan New York, Ohio, Alaska, and I believe California.

Interesting does anyone know more about the form he is showing at the end? Looks like it contains a lot of throws and arm locks to me.
The Baji has Shao Jiao (fast wrestling) mixed into it.

我只想到 了解中國的 果然是日本人 (意義深長
太田徳三郎さんって知ってる？知らんけど試合をして打ち負かしたとか言うけど、そこは個人名なんだ。そして映像がない。太田徳三郎という人より強かったと。要するに八極拳は、日本剣道よりつえーぞと言いたいのだろうが。それ以降は、八極拳は、あるいは八極拳家は、日本剣道と試合をしないのか？日本剣道は、まだ試合たくさんやってるぞ。比較がおかしい。そしてまた聞きが多い。八極拳と言えば、套路と用法解説ばかりで自由組手の映像がないわけで、どれも信頼性がない。じゃあ百歩ゆずって中国拳法
の中で強かったとしよう。套路、用法解説以外で自由組手映像がないのはなぜなんだろう？か。人の話は尾ひれがつく。漫画拳児の影響が大きく、ほとんどが漫画の創作で広まっただけで、信憑性は、ないのでは？と思う。松田氏の組手映像もないのがその証だ。大山総裁の空手バカ一代と同じくフィクションの部分は、多いんじゃない。だれもみたことないんだから。套路を演じても強さなんかわからないからな。松田氏は、本で套路で演じると発勁や強さがわかると書いていたが、もうそこが頭が少しおかしいとおもう。中国拳法を広めた貢献は、大きいが同時に多くの者に誤解と幻想をいだかせた。わたしもその一人だが技術は、あるが、伝統文化としてこれはそういうジャンルと割り切るしかないのか？例えば松田氏は、長拳等の套路を演じるのを批判してるが、松田氏の実戦とか伝統文化ってどこと比較したんだろうか？表演武術と松田氏の伝統武術のちがいってなんだろ？て思うし、松田氏じたい明確に差別化を示すことができなかった。
