    I studied Northern Shaolin when I was a kid and then dedicated all of my time to boxing. The structural foundation you build, kinesthetic awareness, and ability to put all of your body weight behind a punch are beyond valuable. So helpful with hooks and crosses. This made me nostalgic.

    Shi Hung Yi seems like a good teacher. I like how he explains the biomechanics of stances and rooting where many others would explain away this skill with Kungfu buzzwords like qi or fa jin. That’s very important to pedagogy since learning something requires the student to first see that is possible.

      They are not kung-fu "buzzwords", they are real conceptual frameworks with extreme depth that just gets hollowed out when Westerners start defining these systems according to their own framework, not understanding that they are colonizing alternative knowledge forms and imposing their own western understanding onto these frameworks which have their own completely different way of looking at things. In this way, the "real thing" the "real idea of kung fu" gets destroyed and distorted. Thanks!

    The exercise where you condition your forearms is called kat sam sing or 3 crossed stars. I like master Master Shi Heng Yi. Not just his technical aspects but his expounding of Shaolin precepts and philosophy. Kung fu is a away of life. Chinese culture is thousands of years old and that is reflected in their martial arts. I am happy than you are investigating this art as it will bring a lot of fulfillment and spirituality.

      Yes I learned the same method from Dragon style kung fu and baguaquan although the former was much harder hitting and you had to use dit da jow for the bruising. Dragon style called it Three Star Hitting. My baguaquan teacher never named it, just made us practice along with stepping in a square pattern. Dragon style also had a similar conditioning exercise for the lower legs.

At least not in an official monastery, yet he told people he did and that he trains in official matter. After a warning and a law process against them (its a group), they stopped, after years after the scandal he now is more present than ever (in germany it was a big shaolin scandal, being in the newspaper and so on). He doesnt practice shaolin like shaolin masters do and is not near the level of a shaolin. Please dont let this man destroy buddhism. Inform yourself!

      I was quite surprised by Shaolin ma bu. The method of tucking in the tail bone/pelvis and rounding the back/sinking the chest, dropping the elbows, relaxing the muscles is exactly the method of most Chinese internal martial arts. My baguaquan lineage is a bit odd because it kinda does some opposite things with spinal alignment but strangely achieves the same type of results. This is the basic principle of neijia rooting although there are more advanced concepts once you get this down. Fascinating video!

I learned a little Gao style as well but very minimal. Baguaquan/baguazhang requires a lot of eating bitter, compared to most taijiquan. Additionally I have been trying to incorporate some of the late Zhang Luping's baguazhang principles into my baguaquan. I do not know who his bagua teachers were--he had many many teachers. I have found his idea of spiraling everywhere fascinating and am trying to integrate that with my Southern Wu style concept of yi and qi.

    Someone could just practice their structure and that would be more than enough for self defense. It's hard training but the results are worth it. Muscular strength will fade with time, no matter who you are, but structure will last a lifetime. This is once a huge "secret" and even knowing it isn't enough, you have to endure lots of bitter training to get it.

For native speakers, it’s so easy to brush aside and overlook.
