I'm a long time xingyi practitioner and trained with wing chun guys. This is cool to see this because the WC guys I've seen that did xingyi became monsters, no one could touch them.

[@PunkRockNerd10171]

Wing Chun players always seem to graduate to XingYi (Hsing-Yi) in time.

[@joanstone6740]

It's nice that you're shining a light on xingyi out of the many many martial artists that I've encountered xingyi practitioners definitely have an unusual heavy power And a similar strategy to Wing Chun really great kung fu. Although the five element fists appear very simple they require a fairly intense amount of practice to achieve skill with

[@Casualete]

This is how Isshinryu karate punches too, transferring energy from the Earth up through the relaxed dan tian and whipping out through the fist. Very interesting!

[@trit20]

Me too

[@marquisedwards9218]

Kung Fu people do know how to fight! It just depends how u train. Most karate and kung Fu have lost their warrior ways. It done got commercial

[@Bagoth2]

The technique is the same but the power generation is different.

[@JamesWalker-ky5yr]

Wow, I learned Isshin Ryu 50 yrs ago, don't recall that. We learned Peng as crushing fist back in the early '80s.

[@benjaminbecker8508]

Xing Yi is awesome! ❤

[@joaquimespin3125]

Many thanks Adam from Spain. Me too practiced Wing Chun and Xing Yi. I learned Lun Kai Foshan style, later Chan Chee Man Ving Tsun and now Gulao Pin Zan Wing Chun (the last Wing Chun by Leung Jan). Gulao style it's an inner system and connects very well with Xing Yi.

[@rodneywilson8672]

Adam you are a lethal weapon with class and honor

[@pgpv89]

Hi Master! Dont u just ve a program with out wing chun... I am a Mien chuen practicioner and i want yo learn hakka and hsing i too. I want to learn more about internal stuff. Thanks for yout time and all the info. I wish i can meet you!

[@emilianosintarias7337]

Do you have any commentary on Jack Dempsey , HW champ at only 180 pounds, and Hsing Yi? I know he broke many bones and ruptured organs when he won the belt from Willard, who was really a large guy. Dempsey also studied Japanese Jujitsu and wrote a book about power generation for fist fighting, based on the "falling step".

[@CJ-uf6xl]

Hi Adam. Great video, I was wondering if you could do a short video on Fajin from Tai Chi? I would be most grateful 🙏

[@joelwidgins6329]

Outstanding"" instruction, Xing Yi pun intended, this brother is onn point wish I had the bread to learn from you Adam.

[@johnchiang485]

Thanks Sifu Adam, very good video. However, are you supposed to stump your back foot when you punch or using the Rooster steps of thrusting? I have also studied Baji. And the heavy stumping has caused damages to both of my knees.

[@johnchiang485]

@@LooneyBinUK The stumping is required in Baji. However, some sifu don't know not to stump hard on hard surfaces. There are not much rebounding force you can get except shocks right back to your joints. As for the wood punches, you shouldn't straighten & snap your punches as it should be in any martial arts. If you do that you will get the results that you got. The power you get from this punch is from your whole body mechanics & not only from your arms.

[@johnchiang485]

@@LooneyBinUK It is getting the rebounding force to add more power to your attacks. It really depends on the posture of your body when you stump. If done wrong, like you said, it will rattle your brain. I don't practice stumping hard anymore as it's not healthy for me to do so. Maybe if you find the right sifu, he/she will explain how to do it correctly.

[@jamesmunroe6558]

Interesting. It looks like this is incorporating some higot-hubud-lubud from FMA (I'm looking at 1:40).

[@bigwavesun]

FMA will have some crossover with Wing Chun and these other arts he does.

[@douglasdreigh5083]

@Adam Chan What's this? I've found a channel that features internal martial arts but also admires boxing? I have heard of such mythical places, but I never thought I'd find one.

[@therealmccoy7221]

Do San Ti Shi for a few months. Then add "Six direction force". When you can initiate the movement in six directions from doing that, you can start with the Five Elements and have a chance to do real Xing YI and not just Xing.

[@Jameskeith1972]

Awesome. Qi Jiquan created this correct?? My Chinese History/Culture needs help. Anyway, I love studying the 5 elements.

[@jasoncaine7829]

Thank you

[@niomeaze]

Quão privilegiado são seus alunos

[@edkushnerick2090]

It's also a great method to break out of clinches and holds and get past/inside someone to follow up or take them down.

[@junichiroyamashita]

This feels kinda Baji in spirit.

[@basilistsakalos9643]

I really like what you bring to the table, sir. Xingyiquan+yiquan+boxing, excellent!

[@alanschaub147]

👍🏻

[@mahmudmurad4655]

Awesome Sifu adam, cant wait to learn from you Xing Yi online.

[@JamesEspinar-k6t]

How do you learn how to develop power when you start getting older like 68 can you tell me a way I can exercise to increase my power again thank you

[@elmegyek77]

Can I suggest to use a microphone in order to better record the voice?

[@BradYaeger]

Great explanation thank you . I have always called this style of punching "Rock'm Sock'm Robots" because it reminds me of the toys from the 70's ! And targeting the bladder/ pelvis area is so underused in my opinion . For one it SUCKS getting hit there and two, it's almost always open . We don't really have to same flinch response to it the way he do the head and groin .

[@drprick7432]

Wu style long form has a punch called pang guan quan - bladder punch😀

[@MrMppeters]

Why no Pheonix eye fist?

[@arbogast4950]

Might just be a lineage thing

[@gyran300]

Like the beard!😊

[@michaelj.4187]

change timing, try 45 degrees twist out with hitting fist at the same time rear foot makes contact with the ground...sending love and peace to everyone...
