Baji

[Hardwork108]

its ok my kung fu can be traced directly to respected masters in the hakka community,

The world (including this forum) is full of kung fu-clueless people who trained under "respected" masters. LOL

All of the Mcdojo "masters" are "respected" as well, or didn't you know?

Also, unfortunately for people such as yourself, even the real masters (in the UK, you can count them on one hand) don't teach everything to everyone.

By the way, did your "respected masters" recommend the use of Olympic weight training for your internal kung fu practice?

who didn't have to move to the jungle to get away from me

Why should they have gotten away from you, they were making plenty of money from you, to start with. LOL

By the way, neither of my sifus moved away from me. I see that you have been learning your lessons from the other members of this forum's MMA knucklehead community, where you just keep repeating the same lies over and over, to discredit anyone who shows your kung fu cluelessness.

and my MMA/BJJ to coaches with fighters in the UFC....

And that is where you shoot yourself in the foot (yet, again!).

IF your masters were even half decent, then you would not feel the need to flaunt your MMA/BJJ coaches in a KUNG FU FORUM, within a KUNG FU Discussion!

Actually, if you had real TCMA masters, then you would generally not feel the need to practice MMA, to fill some perceived gaps, nor for that matter, .Olympic weight lifting (for internal strength????...LOL).

Contribute like you you mean, LMAO how about trying something novel and admitting you know jack sh*t about something other than what you have read in a book and shutting up and listening to the guys on this thread who have actually trained in the arts?

I believe that I was having a kung fu discussion in a kung fu thread. My opinions are based on my Mainland Chinese Wing Chun Kuen and my Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis, experience, together with my personal research of kung fu styles in general.

The conversation in which I was involved was quiet civil and both sides made valid points based on their KUNG FU experience.

I still do not see the purpose of your baggage-filled "contributions" in this thread, as nobody has so far discussed Olympic weight lifting methodologies; the "grand" art of BJJ, MMA, nor Tae Kwon Do, or anything like that.

So again, if you have nothing to contribute then stop stirring up problems. Read the thread and perhaps you might acquire some knowledge about the interesting and potent styles of kung fu that are being discussed.

Thanks in advance.

ok i doubt there is an open door school here. i know there is one who lives here but he doesnt teach...a while ago i got to see him demonstrate and learn a form, but that was just out of respect of my then sifu, guy doesnt teach or at least wouldnt teach me,lol. so im looking for some open door baiji chuan in nyc...i love xing yi chuan but want to do a external art to compliment it and baji is not full hard. and it compliments xing yi.

[taai gihk yahn]

yeh, u'd think that in NY there'd b at least one person teaching baji...

I hav one resource I can ask, but no guarantees...

anyway, good uck in ur search tho - if u do find sumone, I'd b interested as well, lol;

I've been to visit them. I was mainly looking at their xingyi, but they are super nice people. Definitely talk to them.

[doug maverick]

i heard of and thought about pachi however, i dont like the fact that i would have to learn tanglong, i have no interest in that.

I lost my cherry a couple of weeks back.

Fought Leitai.

A couple of my best moments:

The rules are spelled out in the description of the full fight:

looks like you hit him with a sow choy at the end there...nice job

baji doesn't have so choy, so you are clearly mistaken

[omarthefish]

Call it whatever you want dudes.

Here's another one, same tech but while backing up actually:



That was from my second fight of the day. That dude was a coach at the school. We were much more evenly matched than me and the guy I took the highlight clips from. I picked those highlights because they are textbook Bajiquan. A shoulder slam, an elbow to the body and that "sau choi" is part of the second combo from "Dabaji" or alternately, from the first exchange in the Baji 2 man set.

[JamesC]

So the wide arm punch is an actual technique in Baji?

Genuine interest, not trolling.

[hskwarrior]

LOL...i don't know the techniques of baggy....jk...baji...but i did say it LOOKED that way. so you are mistaken about me being mistaken.

This is my form performance:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8G9FW5hM3U

You can see the "wide arm punch" at about the 36 second mark. In the form, the intent is to strike with the forearm. The leitai event I fought in prohibited punching to the head so I just switched to an open palm for the same technique.

[omarthefish]

**** straight Frank.

The only difference is in the training intent. Plus, having trained at least a little
Choi Li Fut with you . . .who's to say? And then there's the long arm Hung Gar stuff. (probably stolen from Lama Pai) and of course, the Baji move I showed in the form performance linked.

I went in representing Zhang Xiang Wu Boxing Assc. so I'm calling it Bajiquan! Besides, if you look at the "highlights" clip, there are a couple of other moves that are totally trademark Baji. The shoulder strike and, most classically, the elbow to the chest. When that fight was over I had like 5 or 6 different people congratulate me specifically on the elbow to the chest because it's textbook Baji!!!
