dedicated to the discussion of the chinese internal martial arts of xingyiquan, baguazhang, taijiquan, related arts, and anything else best discussed over a bottle of rum
I might be wrong but it looks like Wu style out of Malaysia The broadsword is the shines/shines HsuanHsuan broadsword You do realise that the pushing uses a bit of awkward strength and the stuff that looks like no touch at the end the guy is giving up his fingers and the teacher is just doing finger twists,thus the violent reaction Yes I have seen plenty of pushing of that level all over the place
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form
Hi The objective of the clip was to find out where and who the teachers are that proclaim that they have this type of skill. I would like to meet up with them to test their skills I am very skeptical, however happy to be proven wrong. I travel a lot throughout China so any help finding them ( names , places ) would be helpful?. Anyone with other clips again would be great.
Why not start with teachers in the US who also demo this type of skill. Notice how BT "gets it" suggesting that those looking may think it "fake shit."
"got to be in the game to understand the game BT "
What is often shown in demos that people question like the OP's clip, is a reaction between 2 connected bodies using the same principles. The reactions tend to be a little more clean but never the less are reactions based on whats happening.
note the reactions of the master at 20:20 while he is coaching BT.
BT may not feel what he is doing, the master reacts to it just as in the OP clip the student reacts to the teacher.
As often the case one may not feel what they are doing, just as others can cause reactions that others may not feel but react to....that may question when shown in a clip.
Interesting in the clip the way the conversation changes towards the end of it. "energy" "feeling" "following" ect. the reactions change as this new awareness is adopted and used.
The real question is how this translates into a useful skill outside of the format use for "training"
