    There is no way to fend off death of course. When you train the internals like him and gain this power sure the power is cool. Whats much cooler though is the patience and will and ability to connect with others and nurture your loved ones. Skepticism here is blameless without the experience it makes sense to be skeptical. This 2 part series was a real gem. Much gratitude.

    Such a profound art! This reminds me of my first teacher Henry Wang (at similar skill level to Adam Mizner and from the same Huang Sheng Shyan lineage). He used to always declare in broken English... "no technic" (no technique). Sadly most students simply cannot comprehend what this means, are unable to "let go" of what they think know about the world, and spend their lives believing, deep down, that there actually is some hidden unseen and "secret" technique.

      @@milehigh61You are absolutely correct. Henry creates the illusion of teaching but doesn't teach the methods (or much of anything really) and that is why I gave up on him a long time ago. One thing I will say is that, simply being exposed to someone at that level and having a chance to physically experience what is possible is, in itself, valuable. For that I am eternally grateful because knowing Henry set me down a path of searching that I almost certainly would have given up on had I not met him. It also gave me the ability to be able to differentiate between the authenticity of an Adam Mizner or Liang De Hua and all the other nonsense that gets passed off as "Tai Chi". It took 15 years of constant training with various teachers before I found Adam Mizner and discovered that there is no mystery to it... the correct "methods" have to be trained and the time has to put in. Unfortunately teachers who both know and teach the correct methods are VERY VERY rare! It is really quite shocking that virtually every Tai Chi school on the planet talks the talk, says all the right things and, yet don't actually practice anything that is even remotely authentic. Coincidentally Mizner's training gave me the tools to recognize another high level Wu practitioner in Vancouver by the name of Wing Mei Gu (who actually teaches a lot of the traditional methods).

      @@milehigh61 I attended Mizner's workshop in Washington in 2018. Since then I have been working through his online course. At the same time I came to the realization that a local Wu practitioner, who I had worked with for a few years before (who had studied directly under Ma Yue Liang amongst many others), was a lot more knowledgeable than I had realized. He tended to only reveal the deeper stuff if you showed an interest and asked the right questions so I hadn't realized how deep his knowledge was . Upon discovering my interest in the standing work (and recognition of it's importance) , he spent about a year taking me through the Wu standing exercises in great detail and with priceless hands on direction. So, for almost two and a half years I have been training two systems (everyday). I have been taking advantage of the "hands on" I get from my Wu teacher while, at the same time working though Mizner's standing, song gongs and stretches. I had intended to stick with the Wu form (which I had already been training for a number of years) but, as the logic and coherence of Mizner's system became more and more apparent, I finally dropped the Wu altogether and train all of his stuff (minus the two person work because there is no one around to work with). In addition I am now working through his meditation course. There is absolutely no question that Mizner's system is flat out the most accurate and coherent system I have ever encountered. (the Wu system is also quite good but, it's too haphazard). Interestingly the principles of the Wu standing directly mirrored Mizner's work. In fact, he took me quite a bit further. I talk on line to Mizner quite often and at one point he asked me to describe the process I was going through during standing practice. I was a little apprehensive and expected him to shoot me down because, the worst thing one can do is not heed or to modify his instructions. He was quite pleased when I told him the process I was using (which was a blend of what he teaches with some of the deeper things in the Wu curriculum) and said these where the exact same things he taught later in the process (and correct). Anyway, I am now completely immersed in his system.

    Very interesting. I agree that “song” is separate from the body structure, but I have trained in a lineage directly under Yang Cheng Fu’s eldest son where low stance training and form train with weight 100% weight distributed between each leg while being relatively low, were prerequisites to developing greater depths of “song”. What I’ve learned is, without developing a solid base, it’s very hard to release the upper body to truly lengthen, both vertically and outwards through the limbs, and this does require some level of physically lowering the stance and focusing the bodies full mass on to each individual leg.
    I’m curious to know I if sifu Liang’s training consists of any training in lower stances be it form or Zhan Zhuang, or if everything he does is in higher extended postures.
    From what I’ve found, it was only when I trained in lower postures (both form, with 100/0 weight distribution in the legs, and zhan zhuang), that I was able to “song” and “sink” internally in higher stances.

    • @Gieszkanne
      @Gieszkanne 3 роки тому

    • @QuentinKLEau
      @QuentinKLEau 3 роки тому +6

      I really like the way Chen Zhong Hua explains "song" in a practical manner. There is no "song", there is only "peng". This way there is no "noodle" student from the beginning. There must be strength in "song", something I had difficulty understanding at the beginning. You must have strength and relax at the same time. Having low postures help you get the strength, higher postures helps you relax. Based on my own experience, it is easier to build strength first and then relax maintaining this strength ("peng"), than trying to relax ( use "no strength") and hope strength (and "peng") will come out of it. Building strength is good for the body structure too.

    • @mountainpeakcloud8442
      @mountainpeakcloud8442 3 роки тому +3

      @@Gieszkanne I think it depends on what kind of low stances we're talking about. Zhan Zhuang is often used as an umbrella term to describe stance training, but there's a large variety of different methods that produce different results. The same goes for low stances where it can be different in some Shaolin training, Chen style, some Yang style etc... From what I've experienced, the Chen style village style low stances are quite different from the Yang style I've done, so the results would be somewhat different too. I like some of the Wu style I've seen, and I do believe that you perhaps don't need low stance training to get internal training, but I've found the low basin training I've done to be extremely helpful in getting there... which is why I asked about Liang's teachings.

      @@QuentinKLEau I don't want to sound like an authority, because I'm not, but your use of terminology doesn't seem consistent with what higher level masters or sifus describe and demonstrate. This Sifu Liang De Hua or Adam Mizner, for example, talk about peng as just one manifestation or type of jin. There are many types of jin, and peng doesn't mean strength (li). It's usually translated as fullness, as in a balloon that is filled with air and has a kind of bouncy resistance on its outer surface. Song or sung is usually translated as release, differentiated from mere relaxation. So sung might allow someone to peng, but building strength is the opposite of that. Maybe you mean "power" rather than "strength". I do think you're getting at this when you talk about sung being strong and not a "noodle" of limpness. As Mizner says, language fails us in trying to express these subtle expressions of energy.

    children know how to do this intuitively and we lose that intuitive ability as we age into adults. it's easy to pick up your child if they're having a tantrum, until they go "dead weight" and stop fighting you, it's suddenly like trying to pick up a heavy sack of potatoes that feels like it weighs twice what the child actually weighs. That's because when they do that, their own muscles stop supporting them, and gravity fully takes over. "song" is really just sinking/releasing that tension in your extremities, into the ground.

    I would imagine it would be easy to measure the effects of the sinking Song by getting a hanging scale to measure the amount of upward pulling force required to uproot him when he sinks fully vs when he is standing normally.
    His Mass obviously isn't changing so his ~60kg body weight, I imagine, wouldn't shift the dial differently if he was standing on a floor scale when he is in full sinking song or standing on the scale normally.
    Might be worth measuring that too.

If you check this and other videos with this sifu, you'll find the interviewer with The Martial Man describing how he felt without prompting or even further comments from Sifu Liang De Hua. In other cases, the sifu tries to distinguish between various conditions by stating which one he's going to utilize, but that's not quite the same as directing or preconditioning someone. I know humans are susceptible to influence, so I don't discount that. But you can tell by the interviewer's reactions that he is being powerfully affected in a way that he is not faking and that is not simply influenced by prior suggestion. If you can't distinguish between those responses, you'll never be able to evaluate videos like this dealing with internal power. Sure, there are more fakers than genuinely powerful masters.

      You ask important questions. I studied Wing Chun for two years and have practiced Tai Chi Chuan for much longer than that. But I don't want to presume to be an authority on this subject, so you might get a better response from someone at a higher level. What I'll say, from what I know, is that Tai Chi can be extremely powerful in actual combat situations if it's someone who has practiced extensively for such application. The sifu in the video is a good example of that. It's a style that is responsive rather than aggressive, using the other person's energy against them. But unlike Wing Chun, higher level Tai Chi incorporates much more internal power and less "technique" and force to counter and defeat an opponent. It takes a long time to cultivate that kind of internal power, and most never reach that level, relying more on hard style technique or being well short of capable enough to defeat an MMA fighter, for example. One of the people I know and studied with has actually specialized in training MMA fighters using Tai Chi principles.
      Yes, push hands is a kind of two-person practice similar to sticky hands. It's fun and useful in developing Tai Chi principles. But of course, it's far from the advanced practice of free form sparring that might come later. What Tai Chi people have that Wing Chun and other kung fu folks usually don't have, in my opinion, is that very mysterious energy force that you see some of in this demonstration video. This sifu is very good. But if you've never experienced that energy I mentioned, you may not be able to believe it. It seems unreal until you actually engage with someone who has that kind of extraordinary power and ability to use it.

    You keep asking the wrong questions. Ask if it's possible to learn song by simple methods. What methods, how to progress? For instance, I can make a feeling of lightness, or heavyness pass down, up, or through my body. Is that song? Is song realized by stillness meditation, feeling subtleties within and moving those feelings?
    I guess I am saying the explanations of sung, or song is not really working for me. How to feel sung without energy transfer from a teacher?

    • @jasonsecretsword7606

      On a basic level all effort needs to be "relaxed" and stretched into as opposed to using tension to generate. If you are pulling then relax into the pull, if you are pushing or striking relax into it while sinking root. Specific training is needed to gain a sense of root and a mind state is gained over time allowing for a different state of body. They say to get good in Taiji you must "invest in weakness" that is to understand that when done correctly it will be weak at first when tested vs raw muscular force. Mayby someone just getting some peng can only hold 15 lbs before requiring resistance. So they should train with that weak 15lbs of strength without cheating and using Li or muscular force. This new weak but elastic body must be cultivated and strengthened by engaging it in ways it can excersise like push hands and even Fa-jin once it is strong enough from training.

    • @lenwenzel7440
      @lenwenzel7440 3 роки тому

      Buddy Tripp Hi, like many things sometimes it comes down to how we interpret things, and relate them to our understanding. For instance, root and sinking. When relaxing internally, I feel an internal wave of relaxation that flows downward. It can move quickly, or gently, and slower. For true understanding one needs to experience these states to avoid misunderstandings. For some things teachers that can show you, and help your understanding are most important. I would love to find such a teacher in Victoria, B.C.

      Keeping a healthy mind in Goju-Ryu is also very important, it strengthens your ability to move into stable Sanchin stance when you need those, then the other fluid reactions will come when you learn that your controlled breaths will keep your movements and never run out of breath. When those are no longer of interests, you can learn again the other applications of what is discussed in these videos.

    If you could demo that on a celeb strong guy like Stallone or the Rock then you'd really get the proof across because such celebs wouldn't fake being unable to lift cuz what allows them to BE a celeb would be on the line, which is thier rep. Thier strong guy rep is not something they would jeopardize so if they couldn't lift you then it's most likely your special quality. And if you got a giant super strong muscle man but wasn't a celeb then he could fake it since he has no real reputation to lose. If this is even real to begin with (which sorta seems so)

    There are different angles at work in the before and after which are often created by the relaxation, but the positions are anything but the same. He claims, they are the same. They absolutely are not. Use a protractor and put it to the screen. You can see differences in body position. There are changes from the x, y, and z axis.

      Yes there are differences but those are brought about by a change in state of body and mind. The "magic" is in turning a complex "x, y, and z" concept into something that can be felt instead of something that must be calculated. In a fight you don't have much time to think so having trained your state of body and movement to automatically make adjustments makes much sense though too advanced for most to grasp.

      Yeah they are literally allowing their structure to collapse when normally they would be holding most of it up themselves and so they get more awkward heavier and more difficult to carry. At work in the nightclubs bouncing Ive had to lift up overdose victims and its way different to picking up a conscious opponent, it's like grabbing a water bed instead of a solid mattress. Remember with unconscious people if there are two of you one holds under the shoulders and the other under the legs. Don't both try to grab the shoulders because it doesn't work and you will end up accidentally head butting someone while they are unconscious like I did. Basically if you have one person on each shoulder the head will keep falling to either side each time one of you moves whereas if you have both shoulders yourself with another person on the legs you can keep their head and body balanced much much easier. And if you need to carry someone by yourself, keep your hands against your own body and pick the person up under their shoulders, you should be able to pick up probably as much as you can squat because with your arms against your own body they are basically locked into the structure of your body and its mainly your legs doing the work. You walk backwards in this position and allow their feet to drag on the ground (unless the ground is a hazard).
