Bagua's Masters Meeting, Beijing 1993

[@TeaSerpent]

I am cutting most of this video off, please watch the translated and annotated version on the Mushin Martial Culture channel. He deserves your views for the work he has done making clear historically accurate information available to the martial arts community. inks below This entire video has been released the Mu Shin Martial Culture KZbin channel, run by Hebei Xingyi and Liang style Bagua Zhang inheritor Byron Jacobs, with subtitled English translation of commentary and additional background information on performers as well as supplementary historical information. He is also releasing an excellent series of videos on the history of Bagua Zhang. He has also done a few videos on the real history of Shuai Jiao. The misinformation commonly circulated about the history of Shao Jiao has been bothering me for years. I'd long hoped someone would tackle the issue and Byron Jacobs has done an excellent job clearly laying out the origins and history of the art while including many historical sources. He's also got a great series on the history of the Shaolin temple that are well worth watching. I would recommend you watch this film on his channel and while you're there take a look at his other videos, especially the videos he has made on various aspects of Chinese martial arts history. Here are links to videos Mu Shin Martial Culture channel containing the translated version of the footage shown above. part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3u7hWmBrtOanpY part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4fQo5uFl9l3kJY Part 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6WxnYuubKaAeZI Part 4: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKSqdGWbftaZeLM Part 5: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqbLinuDaJ19d7c Part 6: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpWsnHaEbrd7bck Part 7: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2rXopikhN91nbc Part 8: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3iwlHV5hsujiJo

I *cannot* believe how rich and informative your site is, and in particular this entry; thank you so much for your diligent research...!

[@TeaSerpent]

@@kenpowell2128 Mushin isn't my site, that is Byron Jacob's site. I really didn't do any research on this video and I was too lazy to even record the performers. If you watched this video here I'd suggest you go to Byron's page. He has lived in Beijing for years and is a fifth generation Baguazhang practitioner under the Ling Zhenpu lineage. He has met a lot of the senior Bagua teachers in Beijing and translated this entire video along with adding in biographical information about the more notable teachers in it.

[@TeaSerpent]

@@kenpowell2128 Unless you actually were talking about my channel, in which case thank you!

[@tweetalig]

FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!! I recognize most of them. Please continue to train hard everyone. I hope this is inspiring!

[@LeopoldUlysees]

There are few things more pleasurable and inspiring than watching Masters demonstrate their decades of learning. This video is one of those few things. Excellence in motion, dedication on display.

[@JPGPakua]

THANKS! This is like a Christmas present. ;)

[@dragon_gate_garage]

Thank you.

[@noklarok]

i like the bit that goes squeak squeak

[@huzhuiwei]

Di Zhaolong at 41:58 - amazingly subtle movements (and strength) considering the size of that sword. Superb.

[@frederickchum]

I only recognize masters Lu Zijian and Xiepi. Regardless, lots of great Baguazhang! Thank you for uploading. =)

[@thevapingauditfrog2387]

English subtitles please.

[@rockincat5723]

Wonderful Bagua by Makoto Usui!

[@davidmartinez9804]

great video. Can anybody tell me who the guy is at 12:51? and his lineage he looks amazing to me.

[@andreafalktglbooks]

Luo Jinhua, Jiang Rongqiao's bagua, through Sha Guozheng.

[@davidmartinez9804]

thank you so much! I think he looks like he knows his stuff. Do you know about Bagua and if so, who looked really good in your opinion? Thanks again.

[@frederickchum]

He can be seen sitting at the desk at about 0:32 (leftmost fellow). I think it's him at the close-up at 0:47 as well. Might be him at 6:45 but again, not absolutely sure (I thought I heard his name by the narrator, but my Chinese is not good enough to follow).

[@huachenshan]

This is wonderful, I had no idea this video existed! Who was the tall Western guy towards the end of the video? I saw a lot of Bagua masters that I know well. This is a great resource. Does anyone where 朱家务Zhujiawu is and if there is anything in Dong Haichuan's honor there now?

[@frederickchum]

Is that Li Ziming towards the end about an hour and thirteen minutes in?

[@quanjiahao87]

Do you know of any good bagua teachers in the Bay area?

[@noklarok]

Berni Langan (SF) represents a good school (Yizong)

[@BeifengDaoren]

Very very nice.. The first half was good some in the second half were suberb.

[@EmbodyTaiChi]

The guy at 4:33 does the same style of the 8 Animals that I practice. First time I've seen it on video.

[@LeandroFosque]

where is Dr. Xie Peiqi? someone knows?

[@jmanuelu.8433]

Gracias. Muy informativo.

[@HiddenPalm]

He passed some years ago.

[@huachenshan]

Cool, I'll ask my Master about it and one of these days we'll check it out and maybe put some pics or videos up. Do you know who the white dude is who can speak Mandarin at the end of the video?

[@trondoskars9771]

Wow think i saw our clubs trainer 20 years younger!

[@2brothersofstrength]

How can I learn bagua ?

[@noklarok]

find a teacher or pray for one to turn up.

[@alohamind7002]

Man, in 93' I was to busy watching Jordan win the Championship. I wish I was there in Beijing at that time to witness this. :(

[@yinghonghaohan319]

First International Bagua Friendship Meeting (lineage holders ), Beijing 1993

[@YinFuBG]

Strangely absent is Wang Peisheng

[@rtiangco2011]

I recognize Li Zi Ming of Liang style and Wang Shusheng of Cheng/Gao style, both RIP, and Kang Ge Wu, Pan Yue and I think Gao Ji Wu! This is pretty awesome! Thanks Serpenti I wish there was English version though

[@LaoZi2023]

Are all of these forms memorized?

[@TeaSerpent]

Yeah probably, but there are a few things you should keep in mind. This is a public demonstration and especially given the time period it's likely at least some of them may have made changes to mark the forms. Also this video shows practitioners from many different styles of Bagua Zhang. So each form is coming from a different school.

[@ksutter1439]

That looks like Master Liu Xiao Ling at 4:37. He lives and teaches in the DC area now.

[@patrickchen4764]

Can you vs k1 fighter or not ?

[@goldendragonshan6036]

Chinese kung-fu wushu (ancient kung-fu not modern created after 1960) is the essence of martial arts, you cannot play like boxing with gloves. It has been created to protect people from bad guys and to kill obviously if necessary. It is not sport...You see what I mean...

[@1sunstyle]

My mind is circling.

Are these people drunk ? what as t is going on ? All that hand flapping, twirling … That isn’t a martial art

[@TonerDrumPaperGO]

too bad these guys were too old to have a scrap :)

[@foodtrainmike2921]

I'll challenge all of them

[@zacharydierx9231]

Gao style sraight line bagua, is not really bagua at all. It doesn’t look like Bagua, feel like it or perform like it during sparring either. I’m tired of having to pretend like I respect it as well. I’ve practiced several different styles of bagua including Gao style and their post heaven forms are just flat out garbage. If you want to practice it fine but please let’s not act like the post heaven forms are bagua. It is just a worse version of xing yi.

[@zacharydierx9231]

Not saying what we saw in this video was all Gao style at all but there was certainly some. Im not the only one who thinks badly of Gao style either so if you want to yell at me fine lol but I’ve met many bagua practitioners from different schools who thought the same thing

[@zacharydierx9231]

Damn I wrote this when I was really drunk last night and now I feel like a jerk. Lol. Can’t delete it either cuz my tablet won’t let me for some reason. Sorry to make any Gao style practioners feel bad the post heaven forms just feel more like xing yi to me. I don’t like how slow it’s done either in comparison to some other Bagua but like I said i shouldn’t be such jerk about it. My bad. I could be totally wrong about it too for all I know.
