N i c e !

That's internal martial arts !

I've seen the guy's other clips before. He also does Xinyi Liu He and other styles besides Bagua.

I don't see much Bagua shenfa in him though.

Tasty.Who is he?

His no-nonsense, let's-get-straight-the-the-point-here-chaps applications remind me of this fellow:

Li Ziming -> Li Gongcheng -> Li Shiquan (no relation, there are lots of Lis in China )

The last punch was a bit unconvincing...

Really I felt the last punch was the best part. That is the reaction we always aim for when striking 2 gaffa taped telephone books. If you can drop them to there knees through a dense material, from every striking angle using cun jin then I think you have got somewhere.

if you can drop people through phone books (or whatever) like this guy, cool. but I have a feeling the guy wearing black silks needs to practice taking strikes.

he needs to pick on somebody his own size.

he needs to pick on somebody his own size.

IME being able to take strikes doesn't have a lot to do with size.

eitherhow I'll stop hijacking this thread. it's very good bagua.

[somatai]

very nice.....bagua and xylh what a combo:)

[chrislomas]

Yes, whether the guy can take a shot is a factor. Some people drop easily and are also suggestable, others it is dfficult to affect (of course as you improve so does the % of people you drop). A good incentive in this game is if you can't drop the guy in 5 shots you do 100 pushups, if he drops he does them, keeps it honest. I highly recommend people adopt this training (if they don't alreadyn do it) as it certainly revolutionised my practice when I did.

However whether the guy can 'take a shot' or not cannot be seen on this clip (I don't think). If you hit even someone with a high pain threshold in the right manner through a pad they can be made to drop like this. He maybe doe look a little soppy though
