@@atomictraveller I watched your link, i think it looks too rigid, it lacks flowing and reminded me of karate (not a good thing). I prefer this video where graceful and fluid movements alternate with decisive pwerful strikes. It has the perfect balance of Yin and Yang.
God, the movement, the exactitude, the timing between moves, the shoulders' position, the speed used for each movement, the strength, the precision... im speechless. I've practiced Wushu Kungfu for 5 years and Wing tsun right now, and yeah, im speechless, only someone who has practiced it and tried it can know how hard actually is to reach that level of mastery.
I started with Traditional Wushu when I was a child. Moved onto TaeKwonDo in my pre-teen to teen years. Currently learning Wing Chun. Started long range style fighting and moving into closer range. All the my masters/instructors were skillful in their arts but not all of them were good teachers. Guess sometimes the champions don't make the best teachers.
i really want to learn this style. after taking karate for 4 years then suddenly stopping after the dojo was closed i forgot how much i loved it. This art is really nice and i would love to be able to learn it. even the first form would be enough for me
Absolutely fantastic! This is true technique. Perfect balance and structure, smooth transitions, very fluid, excellent rooting on each strike/block. The subtitles indicate this is in China, Hebei, Cangzhou. While that is a good city, it is still not as developed as many other areas. This proves that superb martial arts needn't require specialized facilities or expensive equipment. All of us can learn from the practitioners in this video. Xie xie.
In my Sifu's village there was nothing to do but grow peanuts, practice Hung Gar Shaolin, and drink. They had a similar overall level of skill. Also the same landscaper.
I have a buddy who does MMA and cross trains with me. He also trains in BJJ and Muay Thai. He is one of the few with no bad attitude. And Ive managed to catch him with the ineffective traditional techniques that don't work ;-). Its a good exchange and we learn from each other..
@megadomonic baguazhang is the eight tri-grams palms,baji is explode in eight directions fist. it was once called pazi quan,meaning the raking fist.baguazhang is attributed to dong hai chuan.baji is from meng village,cang county.
This is true. There is a saying that states to the effect of- skill overcomes power and mastery overcomes skill. This indicates the importance of repetition. Our kungfu school's motto is 'I do not fear the ten thousand kicks that you've practised once, I fear the one kick you've practised ten thousand times!'
Who here has heard the saying: when pigua is added to baji, gods and demons will both be terrified. when baji is added to pigua, heroes will sigh knowing that they are no match for it?
Baji was the emperor's guard's routine. You don't do it in actual performance, but during practice, you hit your thighs and arms with some of the strikes. It toughens your skin. And they don't hold back when they hit too :P
This guy is no joke, I've seen enough material arts over the years to KNOW this guy is real pro. The power of the punches the coordination the grace of his moves, it's powerful in any ways😇
very nice, very good, question for the ones who know this ppl in the video, is this all baji, or is ther also a xinyi liuhe set there? or are this two styles really so close?
He throws quite a few. Most kicks are thrown at the thigh, or shin of the opponent. Baji Quan is about short movements, high kicks and knees take a lot longer to pull off than a kick to the shin.

yes, it's just a question of Romanization. Baguazhang was referred to as Pa kua chang (same ba/pa as in bajiquan, 八). The same way that Taijiquan has been written as t'ai chi chuan. (also notice the ji/chi is the same, 極 meaning "ultimate", or "extreme")
This is too awesome. What a beautiful and devastating art. Any body know what part of China this video was recorded in? I am in Xi'an right now and currently looking for a Baji teacher. My last was nearly 1000 miles away in northern China and I'm aching to find a new one.
Nice...I've seen a little Taiji and wave-type movement in my time and enjoyed it in this..and fa-jing type movements...really enjoyed this..the two-person form especially. For the detracters..get over the dust, the world is not all green grass and McDonalds
Agreed! UA-cam search Chi Qingsheng to see some explosive Old Yang Style forms as his teacher was a discipline of Yang Shao Hou and Yang Cheng Fu. You'll find two beautiful Changquan forms of Old Yang style and one Yang Shao Hou small frame that is explosive with even a spinning jump kick. One of the ways Tai chi chuan was practiced. Liang De Hua is a disciple of the aforementioned Masters and is starting to teach it all online now including the Yang family Ba Duan Jin neigong and one of the Changquan fast forms to the public. They are beautiful and powerful. Love Kung Fu and authentic lineage results like in this video!
Gotcha! I agree with you in that aspect. Often I'd watch MMA and think a drop elbow would break that hold or his jaw, but that move is illegal. But don't forget, same thing applies for all martial arts tournament matches. Elbows and knee strikes are taught, in Karate and TKD, but most of those techniques are banned from use during competition. I can see where they are coming from though; it's a sport, so they are trying to minimize serious injuries or accidental deaths.
We know that saying too. Just replace "kick" with "move". I'm not putting down repetition. I practice each individual move as warm up. I'm just trying to emphasize the importance of real world application. It's like learning how to ride a horse through books, but until you saddle up and ride one you will never know where the weakness is. Another name for this is called "Combat experience". Also remember when fighting, most people get nervous and freeze up their first time. There is a saying to -
Strengthen my opinion that kungfu and silat are related somehow in the ancient time, look at 7:48 . In Silat / Silek Minang (Silek Harimau as i remember) there are also closing / opening like that too.
Well repetition is one thing. But you still need application. Try to find people who know the martial art and apply what you practiced. Best one to start off with is have the person do the one-two punch (left hand-right hand; since it is the most common first attack to any fight) and use what you learned to either block/intercept/counter. Different people = different height, strength and habits. Also don't be afraid to get hit. No matter how good you are at martial arts, you will get hit.
does anyone know what the name to the form that is being demonstrated? These are very kewl. It is great that someone took the time to document and share with the world something like this.
This style comes from coolies carrying heavy weights on their back on both sides of a pole. The two extended arms on each side of the pole here are used powerfully. The feet are solid on the ground and stable as when carrying weights. Brisk movement corresponds to offloading the cargo or transferring carried weight. Another hypothesis is the movements come from imitating the male bird parade during the mating season. The feet movement are very beautiful. I would like to learn this style.
interesting...but are you sure it came from the coolies?? also, how long ago did they conceive and develop the martial arts? and how did coolies become so wise?
@capfudge Can you kick knees using shoes in MMA? Can you use shoes in general in mma? There are aspects of martial arts that you use in fight sports, but martial are are also strategy. In real life, if you take down somebody, you kick his face with shoes, for example, you don't give him time to get up (angry) and break your face. I think that for sports fighting it's better something like thai boxe, because it's more adaptable to a competition with rules.
I agree with the taught correctly. But I also want to add, understanding/comprehension on the students part. Lots of traditional arts mask their moves into what is mostly incomprehensible so ppl can't steal the techniques. What looked like a flailing arm in Wushu turned out to be 1 takedowns and 2 arm breakers (used as combo or separately; it's very effective). I would not have known that it was used in those ways if I did not think about how to use it and ask my Sifu to expand on it.
Another additional new Tekken 6 character Leo uses Bajiquan style, but in Japanese, it will be heard to be called Hakkyokuken. "Baji Quan" appears as one of Li Mei's fighting styles in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance.
@jung567 well i practice wing chun and the target points are the centre axis of the human body because almost all vital points are along the central line of the body and also when you hit the center of the body the power of your punch does not dissipate as such if you punch for instance near the shoulder (not necessarily the shoulder but above the heart or around that area if this makes sense). there's many styles of kung fu and many would have different target points.hope this helps a lilttle
well first of all none if ur willing to judge me on that. two look at the wide/ low stance, both styles. share and the long punches. this goes for lama pai, cha fist, tai chi(look at it compared to certain forms in other long fist styles).
The Hui people (Chinese: 回族; pinyin: Huízú, Xiaoerjing: حُوِ ذَو ) are a Chinese ethnic group, typically distinguished by their practice of Islam. They form one of the 56 ethnic minority groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China.
@@humanusername5732 Same here. Was curious about it. It looks like a cool chinese style of kickboxing. Could definitely be combined with boxing and muay thai to really bring out its potential for real fights.
all fights. 1. Dam(Courage/Bravery/Guts) - the second you are afraid is when all is lost, fear slows you down dramatically. 2.Lik(Strength/stamina) - self explanatory, which is why conditioning is mandatory like you said before finally 3. Kung Fu (your trained art). Sounds easy in theory but when you are in the situation it is hard to keep your mind thinking straight because of the adrenaline rush. With application you start to be able to control it more. BTW ism what is your art?
woah what beautifull moves seems like dancing :D The first form seems to me like close combat right? The second somehow too, difficult to see the differences! About the third I have to think :o Can't rly understand it... But I rly liked the 4th one! Seems interessting to me :) Baqi Quan he?
i read from sources PAUL uses bajiquan in TEKKEN and when i see this vid, i believe it. It's powerful and deadly. The emperor/ dynasty army also practice this stuff.
Yo tengo la siguiente pregunta porque grandes maestros de kung fu, taichi o cualquier otra disciplina nunca se han venido a vivir o a residir a México? Porque lo han hecho siempre a Europa o a USA? Acaso es por nivel económico?
@ajdp1995 Thing is scholars don't know bajiquan's exact origins, for its first recorded practitioner, Wu Zhong, was a Muslim. Then again, bajiquan could had some links with Taoism since Liu Yun Qiao, another bajiquan practitioner, noticed some sameness with it and taijiquan.
Before I found a Baji teacher and had learned about the style, I would watch all the videos I could and this was one of the first that I came across.

BAJI is not all external, there are many elements of internal martial arts involved. Many Baji people will in fact train in either Tai Chi or Bagua
