If its not on video available on the internet, then it doesnt exist?

Listen to yourself man, your hilarious. Your in california? Drop by shenwu, talk your smack in the open mat saturdays. Make...

Enforcer,

I know exactly what the problem is.

Instead of asking for clips of masters fighting, theorizing over forums about the inefficiency of IMAs, and sharing ignorant opinions backed up by...

Hey Ford,

Are you familiar to xingyi?

Hey Ford,


Regarding all the different styles looking the same, they had to, and still do look the same...but looking the same doesnt mean being the same, particulaily with Xingyi or any other...

Thats the natural way people fight, right....when you cover them in foam padding, put some gloves on them and forbid them to use headbuts, elbows, knees and groin strikes. You can still see xingyi...

They may come from the same source or they may have exchanged knowledge. Read it again, it incourages flexibility of mind. =)

uh..Sal?

Hey sal....where exactly did you get your "truth"? where did u read that Dai's xinyi comes from Ma Xue Li?

I would hit him with the phone. :)

If you can do a good santi in that space your living in, you can do xingyi. Long forms? just cut them to pieces and drill them separetly....step/ strike, and step back. Dont forget to change sides. ...

This is a great thread and a very good read. My teacher once in a while shares stories like those, they make me understand him more as a person and as a martial artist. Thanks for sharing David.

True, 50 year olds dont fight very often, if ever. But this is my point...

Im going to asume your in your 20's Jack, or just plain young. Would you stand a chance against the Doshu, for example,...

Im a little curious about something....

Forget about it being xingyi and aikido, just think martial arts, ok.
Wang was around 60 at the time? between 40 to 50 years of experience in MA's. Chiba...

I really think you should have studied more Xingyi before thinking about those similarities. They really couldnt be more different.

Im sure you were dedicated though. Listen to Buddy, he's the man.

Video help ALLOT, even for personal viewing. My gfriend shot a clip of me doing Piquan once, and instantly i saw details in my movement i wasnt aware of.

I like his Pao Quan. The man's gotta be tougher than a coffin nail to expose his balls like that.



What did you think if his xingyi?

Hey Lee, if you learn how to manage a Xingyi guy, imagine what you could do to a wrestler, TKD or a boxer. :D

Hey Emptyfist are you sure it was Wong? coz 250 pounds sounds more of a Wang to me. Wang Shu Chin was famous for withstanding blows to his belly, and i think Don Draegar met him.

Typical. Guy A sees Guy B doing a form. Guy A thinks Guy B fights exactly as he does the form. Its called lack of forward thinking (i just made that up but it makes sense).

I said give him your lunch money, not your lunchbox. Nobody cracks a ring on your head if your giving them money. ;)

Theres only one thing you can really do when you encounter a Bully......and thats giving him your lunch money. It works like a charm.

"What??? you guys dont do high kicks???"

:p

Listen to David, he's da man on Xingyi.
The old man doing the animals is the current lineage holder of Song style, if i recall correctly.

Xingyi is a principle based art, not technique based or a...

Correction, chances are high that u CAN have good ability. It all brakes down to the individual. I think u agree with me on this.
