Hsing Yi / Yi Quan - Splitting Fist (Metal Fist) - Kung Fu Report

[@danryansrca]

This is probably the most informative Hsing Yi information I have ever seen in such a short amount of time. This will definitly change my focus in trainging. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@ianweir2115]

Oh now we are getting into some really great martial art! This is why I'm glad I took your class. Because not only teach Wing Chun, you also teach yi chuan ..xing -I too. I was told when learned Wing Chun back in the 1980s/1990s nyc chinatown "you will never see another Wing Chun class like this" now I know why. Because he was a Wing chun..yichuan..and goju karate master...he mixed it up off a Wing Chun base. So now when I see you breaking g down these moves..I see where it all came from. Interesting.. thank you Sifu.

[@nathanvinson7992]

I liked your whole breakdown of energetics and body structure, very helpful

[@Youri_Reintgen]

You are very great master. Simple clear unique

[@robertstrauss5945]

I love the way sifu Chan says something profound in a throwaway line. He "just" mentioned how to do hsing yi standing. It can take years to get a teacher to explain this. Don't ask how I know.

[@misterlau5246]

You baited the line and threw it in the water, you spread the net, and then you tell us you just know it, why? This style I have never practiced it neither have met ppl who did. There are some good teachers out there. Adam is good at explaining, but obviously it has to be trained. Not sure if you are like me and I didn't want to learn my dad's (+) family "style" and that's cause I didn't feel like he wanted to teach me, so I got to wing chun cause sifu was a merrier man than my dad 😬😒

[@rodneywilson8672]

This is similar to dumog in kali

[@fis-tarts]

I'll ask, though I mean no offense, what is the key to xingyi standing?

Many thanks for this beautiful demonstration of mechanics. this vertical opening spiral is also present in hung ga. I know it variously as tiger climbs mountain or an earth casting punch. you can see it repeated twice on the clip "Kung fu platform - Hung Gar Kung Fu - Gung Gee Fook Fu Kuen" beginning 1 minute 36 seconds in. it is not expressed nearly as clearly or cleanly as demonstrated above. but it its there. the lead hand spirals up, out, and forward, and the back hand spiralling down, out, and back.

[@benedictchin8799]

Thank you☀️🌿🙏🏾

[@CrosstownDental-uj5py]

Best teacher I ever had! Learning from Adam will blow away your prexexisting concepts of gung fu, and help your growth exponentially. Highly recommend taking his course.

[@peterskanks4804]

Thanks Sifu Adam Chan

[@ziggydog5091]

Inc Yi is wonderful! It is clear, crisp, cold, and cruel. It is also great your health. You inspire me to keep working, thank you.

[@mahmudmurad4655]

I really will pay for online training of Xing Yi coming from you Sifu Adam. Awesome video.

[@donworland]

I dig your way of thinking, subbed.

[@richpekar]

Thank you Sifu Adam. I am very excited to learn Hsing Yi!!

[@kenlek869]

Wang Xiang Zhai (founder of Yiquan, a Xingyi derived art) said: 不求形骸似，但求神意足 Do not chase after similar looking form and structure ( as your teacher), but aim for maximum imagination and intent (when practicing). Intent is everything.

[@Billy-Mandalay]

very in the moment.

[@johnh.mitchell6519]

RIGHT, so how does the students improper structure and response limits that expression

[@benjaminbecker8508]

Xing Yi is awesome! ❤

[@jasonpeterreardon9710]

Great insight to the internal art of hsing yi.

[@benedictchin8799]

Greetings Sifu Chan, thank you☀️🌿🌺🙏🏾 one of my Sifu said don’t think of fighting and separate nothing. Much love for you Sifu Chan☀️🌿🙏🏾

[@houseofkungfu2543]

Man Adam you're technique and application is so precise. I just was accepted as a Lung Ying student by the top 1% of dragon Masters and I literally want to be the "Adam Chan of" Lung Ying on the internet. Thank you for laying the foundation of long distance learning

[@bsorryrthatsit7055]

Master Chen, would you consider slow motion footage? Sometimes it's just too fast to see IMHO. I like the insights you offer now that I am used to your blog. I do Wang Shu Jin (M.Smith) style Hsing I near S.F. The punch to the qua is so valid.

[@wimplesaur]

Coming from a Tai Chi background I really appreciate this. My primary approach is rollback but the splitting fist of Hsing Yi helps me understand my response afterwards.

[@yonahhaddad7133]

I'm definitely subscribing to your channel

[@robertakre7725]

thanks for making the footwork visible.

[@basilistsakalos9643]

Excellent, excellent!!!

[@philjohnston7920]

agree totally I learnt a family style of combat Yi Quan meaning no flowery stuff just fighting and power principles and application then we learnt the Hsing I five element s linking form. This was introduced at the 2nd degree instructor level to enhance the principles previously learned. Most people i meet that have learned other forms of Martial Arts are surprised by the foot work and power generation. Kick boxers have no idea what just happened.

[@alanschaub147]

So good! ❤

[@yonahhaddad7133]

Excellent demonstration!!!! Can you teach Pi Chuan in itself also?

[@paulcalugar1438]

I agree with your commentary at the end, after your Xingyiquan makes sense (from who you learned it from) …

[@yardleybottles6025]

Thank you

[@williamcoachg3228]

Qould u do a just hsing yi series to purchase?

[@RickGray-j3z]

Dig all your stuff

[@moepanetta9028]

I was training in hsing I tonight, and my question 🙋 is can pi chuan be done with a close fist 🤜?

[@VlogTrungTran]

Thsnks Sifu Chan

[@NandoWasabi]

In the future can you do a video on Santi Shi post training.

[@therespectedlex9794]

What did you call that thing that lets you throw him to the ground?

[@drprick7432]

Poor Chris, aka Punching Bag 😂😂 Lol, thanks for posting these!

[@michaelblack9458]

I miss training my teacher blended wing chun jkd and xingyi

[@benjaminstevens6043]

Shoutout chris!

[@liuherms]

Do you do live classes? Thanks

[@justoldog]

wow cool

[@aldomassa7473]

Excellence… Sifu

[@admarquis]

Great great great, thanks for sharing! Love watching your kung fu reports, they are to the point, a great delivery of valuable information, they are excellent and keep getting better, great effort guys 😁🙏👍👍🙋

[@misterlau5246]

Ohhh cool! I haven't really seen Hsing-I in action. 🤔 Huen sao, jut sao, it seemed familiar .maybe from some other style..

[@cassiuslives4807]

this exists in the gaan sau in wing chun as well, and chu soong tin liked to demonstrate it. Refining it to a high level however is something that escapes me

[@NicoleKekona]

Whats your thoughts on Baji Quan??? Id love to see a video on Baji applications and history.

[@williambreazeal387]

If you can find a teacher that can teach you the agile stepping method it’s great. It can cover great distances very rapidly and deliver severe shocking power at any point along the advance or retreat. It can also turn with explosive rapidity. The stepping method is also needed to insert the low kicks, which are extremely effective.

[@trondyne3513]

So focus on the energetics, but how? And this movement looks similar to lop and it's forward circle, how about comparing and contrasting these two movements and energetics? Instead we're left guessing....

[@aura-pprenti2301]

2:30 WOW man I see real mastery on your movements

[@katsshibainus3258]

I like how you use a bigger guy than you.

[@smiley-qb3nt]

Never any details though

[@draekan2753]

Check out "Mu Shin Martial Culture" he has a great series on the basic principals and training methods for Xingyi Quan as well as for Bagua Zhang.

[@ytb460]

Thus, stand for 2 hours a day.

[@kurthouston7553]

I'm not a Wing Chun guy, but if you amplify the art(Kinda turning the art into a giant in all aspects), it kinda turns into Hsing Yi Quan... In my humble perception... No offence to the Wing Chun purists though...🙏
