Bajiquan on National Geographic--lol

[Chowfarn]

I've seen this dodo before as well - quite good.
A quick look on you tube - but couldn't find it for you.

Its on Chinese arts that are now practiced in Tawian.
Mostly Masters that have moved either from WW2 or Cultural revolution.

The focus is on students of these great Masters who have either just died or too old to train.
In the opening have a White crane dude practicing on a metal dumby - impressive conditioning.

Has a guy practicing pushing a tree - a good tree shaking from it.

Again, thanks for your efforts here---I do not even know who the practitioner is that is demonstrating the baji and I tried to find out what episode this was from--no luck.

Bajiquan on National Geographic--lol

Oh my my.......the guy doing Baji in the clip is one of the gym teachers I had in college! Small world, eh?

I think the program was shot in 1994, so he looked a little younger then.

His name is Peng Wu-Chi, who originally stuided under Master Su Yu-Zhang, but later became GM Liu's student. He was the director of Wu-Tang branch in Switzerland for years, but now resides in Taiwan, I believe.
