Its not really an elbow, that I can see. Its more of a shoulder bump followed by a strike from a weird angle. Think of this as an entry to any number of Shuai Chiao (or judo/jujitsu) kinds of throws. You are rattling them to set up the throw.These are entries, not techniques.

Hi, thanks for this video. I have some questions: 1- When you do the technique "Gong Bu Pan Zhou", why you "connect" the fist to the DanTian. It's mean illogical from my point of view, the body structure is not aligned and therefore difficult to generate power (and i think a little bit dangerous for your elbow and shoulder). In my school, we learned this technique by connecting the fist to the plexus (to have a correct alignment), so i am very interested by your explanation (I have seen a lot of schools practice this way but I never understood why) 2- When you do the technique "Er Lang Dan Shan" (Gong Bu Dan Bian), the strike is made from the bottom up whith the elbow outwards. Same, i don't understand why and mean illogical from my point of view (body structure not aligned). I have seen a lot of schools practice this way but I never understood why, so i really want to have an explanation In any case, thank you for your sharing, they are very interesting videos with different approaches. Continue like that! :)
Hi Sebastien I appreciate your open mind. Many people would just say "it's wrong" when encountering something different from what they learned. 1. That is simply a lower strike with the elbow - typically to the solar plexus area or to the heart. It makes one work with the back's structure (Tong Bei) and requires to fully close the kua to be able to do it well, so people usually prefer doing the higher elbow strike. It rests against the Dantian because it is 1: an area dense with trained connective tissue and muscles fit to support a strike (as opposed to the solar plexus which would lead any frontally incoming strength directly into the diaphragm) and 2: close to the center of motion. If it's a high elbow strike the fist should rest against the pectoral muscle (but far enough from the heart). 2. Here and in the first technique you mentioned, the structure is aligned, just not for the application that you have in mind. It's aligned for circular strength delivery, not linear expansion. I'd have to see you doing it to really understand the reason for your question, but I assume it's just a different application intent. Also, the structure becomes relaxed again after the (whip) strike, and retracts, instead of remaining rigid, so perhaps that's when you recognized that the structure wasn't aligned.
@@ShaolinXinyiba Thank you for these answers, it is clearer for my first question. For the second, I still haven't understood well, but it's difficult to understand each other in writing. ^^ I hope that one day we can meet to exchange lively voices, it will be easier and more fun. Keep it up, it's a good job. See you!

Awesome practitioner! Obviously he has a great Sifu and work ethic.
Excellent body work and rendition of the applications 👍
It always makes me happy to see Westerners that are dedicated to traditional Chinese arts. :)
I've seen his teacher's channel. He;s a real knowledgeable martial artist. It's an interesting style, almost like a cross of XingYi and Shaolin.
Its just old style Shaolin, not got any Xinggyi mixed in
His form is very good
Pretty much the stuff I missed in the Shaolin Series...
Awesome applications!! Thank you
Young guy doing fairly well for his years. Hope he stays with it. He could have something good in 10-20 years.
very cool
Very interesting, that elbow is quite unique I guess

Great sharing ! Thank you so much 🙏👊🏻
That was sweet!
Awesome ♥️
Is this XingYi and BaGua related? Looking good.
No, it’s just old style Shaolin
@@MonkeyStealsPeach ,
Bagua is essentially just old school Shaolin done on a circle with more evasive footwork.

Dear friend,What is Xinyiba?That is Xing-Yi and Bagua.Yes or No May you answer?
No, it’s not Xingyi and Bagua. Look at the video titled Shaolin Xinyiba on the end screen which introduces it
@@MonkeyStealsPeach Thanks!
Good teqnik and beautiful view
