I as a beginner focus mostly on properly turning my upper body during this exercise since this "twist" is needed in so many other Bajiquan exercises.

Flexibility and strengthen the joints

I would guess it is for shoulder flexibility?

I find this whole series informative and useful. Please keep up the good work.

My laoshi taught me besides baji also pigua and basics from tongbei quan. Besides those zhan Zhuang was the most important part otherwise none of the internal styles are useful .

what will happen if I train without using medicine?

🙏

Deep wisdom presented in a straight forward manner. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Master.

In Hong Kong there is a style callled DaSheng PiGua taught by Geng Dehai. Supposedly, he taught monkey style routines and Pigua routines. However, their Pigua has very little in common with the main branches of Pigua you mentioned. I always wondered where they came from. His Pigua Saber is found in many styles practiced in Hong Kong.

Question would be how would the training be to develop those jumps?

Great video again laoshi, regarding the fist, my laoshi always explained to me that baji used to have a different name 耙子拳.

It was worth our time, thank you ;)

Another great lesson from the Master! Thank you, Sir.

I’ve been hearing of this relationship for a long time. Thanks for clearing it up. I like your “dishes on a menu” metaphor, though I fear I have been guilty of this myself.

Great info! I see some similarity in movements from Pigua in Pak Hok Pai. It makes me wonder if there was ever sharing of knowledge through the years or if it is just a similarly developed body movement and philosophy for long reaching open palms.

What are the chinese characters for “chuan pu”?

Thank you so much for sharing your research and wisdom! I love Martial Arts in whole with a special place for all styles/forms of Kung Fu ❤ utmost respect and appreciation 🙏🥋🥋. As someone who never had the ability to properly learn... I've set out to learn and practice for myself whatever I am able. Keep doing what you're doing... Please. It's impactful for some

It's interesting how some Chinese martial arts start out of common themes such as it's first generation master learning it from some random travelling monk, a deserter from the army (like Kezi stick), or from an escaped convict (from what I heard in a documentary about Shandong Tanglangquan).

Boxers fracture can be healed, if with sufficient medical care 100% (with proper stabilisation by fixation and rest), fracture of scaphoid carpal bone can lead to avascular necrosis and permanent disability of wrist joint, can happen in a palm strike if you use enough force on a hard enough surface

Super! ;)

thank you sifu, your knowledge is priceless for people far from china like me in Argentina. Ive been practicing bajiquan for 5 ears, you come in the right time for me to deeping in whether cultural aspects, languaje (though we know the limits of it) applications, details, and a lot more things that I can´t explain in words but are truly important. Thanks again sifu, keep training us long distance, your work is priceless and encouraging. Respecfully greets and thanks, Agustin from argentina

I've seen him outside of used car dealerships before

Nice work shifu

Man I really appreciate this. Thank you so much. I’ve always wanted to learn the art but do not know where to start so this is a big help.

Bajiquan, for sure

The egg...is whats known as Cotton Fist...Cotton Palm

I'm not a student of this style. However I can say when I was taught southeast Asian martial arts four decades ago the palm was considered the primary head and chest region strike for self defense. Not to mention when I learned Shuai jiao palms were highly effective for disrupting flow and balance. I even avoided jail because the palm didn't give the intent of doing harm. To this day I slap a wooden pole for at least thirty minutes

すごいなぁ(´・ω・｀)こんなに肩回せるんだ👏

Namaste.☯️

🙏

Thx for showing it!!!!!!

Are you in Mengcun?

Boss, Boss, De Rotator Cuff.😮😮😮

Early days of Martial Arts tournaments! Kung Fu guys would lose, because they would Knock Out their Karate opponent 😵‍💫get disqualified 😳now everyone plays the same! Killing the Gung Fu, real methods 😬

This Chinese concept of being adaptable like water, I think would also explain a point of view about whether to tell lies. Second point, I think everyone's mind is something that they fill with beliefs. And, in doing so, they then take a form. These forms harden and we hold onto them as what people believe is reality. To use the adage: These are the maps, but not the actual terrain. So, we have reality and we have all kinds of people who believe in their map of reality. Just my observation of society.

Absolutely, open hand Palm strikes, or slaps open hand slaps as Americans call it, can be extremely devastating, just ask any professional wrestler, the man with the most dangerous open hand slap was the immortal Andre the Giant, you didn't want to take an open hand slap from that man!

Lovely presentation. I really appreciate it. I can't make a fist due to a tendon injury so open hand is my only option. Your instruction is brilliant, thank you.

Just Beautiful, Shifu 💕yes, the Kua 😬

Do u have a learning platform ? Love it

Great lesson! Very easy to understand the way your are presenting! I learned a very similar move in Eagle Claw.

Been studying southern Gung Fu for 48 yrs.! Notice, using Palm strikes 90% of the time 😳Thanks, Shifu 💕😬

Did you ever get a chance to meet or train with Zhou JingXuan before he passed in 2015?

Thank you 🙏🏽

Excellent moves, is this form from Wu Xiufeng's time?
