Some people like the term art and has the goal of making their MA an art and practice it as art. I wonder where the word “Art” fits in your description?

MaartenSFS wrote:Well, I believe that Shuaijiao will help you develop a strong root, similar to Taijiquan. I now also believe that Taijiquan is not a very efficient way to learn how to fight, which is why I stopped training it. I do believe, however, that Xinyiliuhequan, Xingyiquan, Tongbiquan, Baguazhang etc. are very efficient at teaching striking, depending on the teacher, and will help develop skills that cannot be taught in other martial arts and are well-worth learning and preserving.

I don't believe that there is enough time to be proficient in everything, so I trimmed my system down to the striking essentials; 四门拳, four linear attacks (punches) and 四大形, four circular attacks.

I have thought about this when I drove from California back to Texas. Here is another example that I try to create opportunity.
If I use my leg to lift my opponent's left leg, at that moment all his weight is on his right leg. If I sweep his right leg, he will be down. Of course I can wait for my opponent to shift weight. The issue are:
- I don't know when that opportunity will happen.
- I'm not sure when that opportunity happens, my rooting leg will be at the right position and ready to do the sweep.
If I create that opportunity myself, my rooting leg will be at the right position because I plan for that ahead of the time.windwalker wrote:You mentioned you're not yet convinced.
Since I'm going to create 2 new black belt students, I try to design the best way for them to learn.
For example, you attack one leg first, you then attack the other leg afterward is a very important strategy.
- Use right leg to spring, hook, lift your opponent's left leg.

- You then sweep his right rooting leg.
In this simple combo training, I just don't know how the "internal" training can help me to do this any better.

One common mistake for many people is that they try to use fa jin too directly. They just want to use their jin to beat their opponents as hard as possible. But in real Taiji Quan skill, throwing jin should never be used alone. . . .

marvin8 wrote:1. Right. But, how do you set up "spring, hook, lift your opponent's left leg?" If you fail at that, will you continue to do the same techniques over and over (again, predictable)?
2. The problem is he may not let you "lift his left leg off the ground."
3. here your leading foot lands before the punch. Is that wrong? Or, do you use both, like in boxing and MMA?
MaartenSFS wrote:The Xingyiquan punch and Tongbeiquan Pizhang are both types of internal power. Do you feel like a TKD practitioner or boxer can produce that same power?

Return to Xingyiquan - Baguazhang - Taijiquan
