The Secret to Develop Internal Power | Bagua

[@ganzrawr5334]

Modern trained fighters might think this stuff is BS. It's hard to convey or believe unless you've experienced it yourself. I recently took a Tai Chi Quan seminar with my wife in which the master would at times use me to demonstrate. I have no explanation that is rational for the fact that even though this man couldn't have weighed more than 170 lbs, that when he performed techniques on me it felt like working with a 280lb man. I myself clock in just shy of 200 and I've trained JKD, Kali, Muay Thai, BJJ and the like for over a decade. Again, unless you've felt it for yourself, it cannot really be understood. This chi stuff/ internal power is absolutely real. It's as if there is just "more" of the individual in front of you despite that being impossible. I'm not saying people who train this stuff are going to be a match for boxers or collegiate wrestlers, but there is something behind these internal power systems that can potentially add an additional layer to one's martial art capabilities.

When I push hands with with the big strong guys in Tai Chi, i know what they did to throw me around. But when I push Hands with old master, I have no idea what she did to throw me.

@ganzrawr5334. Well said, well said! You don't see the power, only feel it. And you are right, it may not be applicable in the ring but definitely devastating in elbow range. And no opportunity to grab when you are continuously pounded & on the back foot.🙏

[@veracrack]

I train the internal style of wing chun and when you get hit by someone who can actually stay fully relaxed then it is like your whole body crumbles. My sifu says there are people above him who are softer than him and I can only imagine what would it be like if they were to palm strike me on the chest.

[@qindao4963]

It’s obvious this master has some serious genuine skill, the key takeaway for me was it comes from practicing everyday.

[@arbogast4950]

The Chinese internals take a while to get good at but it's totally worth it.

[@ShoShinKai.online]

The key takeaway is structure, so you can get your legs' power into your arms.

[@johndough8115]

It was comical =) However, its also a very valid thing. For my demo for an MMA fighter, I told him to try to hit me. Said that he could use any kind of handstrikes. I told him, that he was allowed to use both of his arm... but that I would limit myself to only using a single arm against his two. He almost laughed in my face, when I told him this. Yet he was a good sport, and did his best. He wasnt able to get a single hit on me, despite the advantages, and his excellent combat skills. The superior Interception Technology, made it easy to deal with anything that he launched at me. I also advise any fighter to try this as a part of their training drills. You end up training in all of the "worst case scenarios", and start to understand combat... to a much higher degree. When you get exceptionally good at this drill... your fighting with Both arms, will then be at a whole other level (as many times in combat, your lead arm is temporarily parried / useless... and are left with only 1 arm to use).

[@FuryoTokkosho]

reminded a lot on the old stories of karate masters at asian chicken fights, having a chicken under the arm and still beating 7 people up with the other one to astound their pupils. Funny that the indoor students practice karate a lot of times like Tai Chi too. Interesting to have seen something first hand in a video.

You also showed a positive and appreciated attitude when you were "defeated." You have maintained good cultural traditions in martial arts. By the way, I enjoyed all of your videos where masters demonstrated internal power. I hope to see more of these. It's always fun to know where the forces come from, either from feet or "dan tian."

[@LunaticReason]

You’re really lucky to have found someone so knowledgeable and legit as a Chinese martial arts practitioner. I can tell you at least with Mantis since i train that he’s no joke and his Bagua seems even more formidable so don’t miss the opportunity to learn from him. The last bit about striking the inside of the arm because it’s sensitive similar concept in Filipino martial arts, technique called Gunting. It’s not better than mma but there are a lot of special skills that are applicable to self defence

[@Buffalodan66]

Great video. I'm 15 years into 8 Step Preying Mantis and we have a ton a Bagu, Tai Chi, Xing Yi plus many others. Nice to see these concepts in other practitioners. Master Hu nails the point of relaxing the body, coil then strike. This is what I try to teach my students and it is a hard concept for some to grasp esp. in the beginning.

[@JaroBerce]

Internal v.s. External: In my humble opinion, the distinction is not as clear-cut as it may seem as there is not Internal vs. External. Ultimately, it’s all about how you align and structure your body, and how you utilize your tissues and muscles. The human body contains anywhere between 600 and 840 muscles, depending on how they're counted. Are we consciously engaging all of them, or just a select few? From my perspective, the true essence of so called "internal" force lies in how efficiently we use our body’s energy-whether it’s the energy generated by muscles, tendons, or other bodily structures. The distinction isn’t so much between internal or external, but rather about how effectively we harness our body’s inherent energy. It’s all about mastering your body’s structure and utilizing this energy to execute movements with maximum efficiency.

[@c99kfm]

My understanding, which I can mostly map this video onto, says that the separation is mostly about what focus a tradition puts on kinetic chains and how long they strive to make them. Yes, efficiency is what both internal and external martial arts (or sports) strive for, but that is not a differentiator, it's just a result of good "kung fu", i.e., training.

[@johndough8115]

Do you label stovetop cooking, different from BBQ? Yes. Why? Because there is a difference... despite them BOTH being a process of Cooking food. The same is true of Internal vs External. We give them different labels... because they are actually two different things, with different observable results. If you are merely trying to use muscular forces... I could easily Uproot you, sending you flying backwards like +12 feet away. Even if you are larger and stronger than me... I can still uproot and send you flying, using Internal power methods. Sure... you are ALSO using your tendons to a certain degree... when you are using your muscles / strength. However... when you choose to use virtually no muscle forces.. and instead, use your tendons as the main drive mechanism... the potentials are dramatically different. You see... The locking of your muscles, actually makes you easier to move. Imagine if you were trying to push a very heavy full file cabinet. You would shove yourself into the side of it... and using your muscles and leg muscles, to try to drive it forwards. Now, imagine trying to push a massive pile of Jello, thats been sealed in a large plastic bag. The jello is not very firm... so when you try to push it... is absorbs a lot of your attempted push forces. Its also not fully "unified mass" ...so when you try to push the top... the bottom isnt going to be moving. This isnt the full picture.. but its a decent enough example, to show some of the main differences between internal and external methods. At some point, they can intersect. For example... you can add external strength, into an Internal powered strike. You might use your internal methods, to get the strike to the OPs abdomen... and then change to an external method, to drive deeper into the tissues. Also.. while you might use a very External striking method... like a long path "Tiger Palm" strike... you might add an Internal Explosive power energy release, at the end of it.. at the very moment of solid impact (vastly amplifying the impact potentials). It often depends on the type of "Effect" that you are trying to impart into the OP.

[@lady_draguliana784]

it my be unique to the schools I went to, but I learned them as "external (kinetic linking)" emphasizing the interface with the ground and the opponent, usually in a pushing fashion, whereas "internal (kinetic linking)" emphasized the connections and sequences within the body and against itself, usually in a pulling fashion. each having it's own applications, of/c, but also not actually being different per se. both function essentially identically, but could also be thought of as opposites, or compliments. I think of them as '2 sides of the same coin.'

[@GermanSausagesAreTheWurst]

I agree it's not clear cut. I'm not even sure of it's a useful distinction. It's a matter of historical contingency that those 3 styles were grouped together. Why not include Ba Ji? Why stop there? Maybe we should include Wing Chun and Aikido? Hung Gar's Iron Wire set looks pretty "internal" to me.

Circle walking comes from student Cheng Ting Hua having his students do the palm changes while walking around the perimeter of his Shuai Jiao wrestling sand pit. Originally walking patterns was straight and zig-zagged. Most of the applications are clinch, sweep and throw with strikes for a reason. All the i ching, taoism stuff is later theory and mythology. Same as the idea of Tai Chi being invented by a Taoist priest Zhang San Feng. Tai Chi is a name that a student of Yang Lu chan came up with to promote their hybrid version of Chen Family Martial Arts and Long Fistz Chen “Tai Chi” which comes from Chen Wangting’s experience fighting in the Military under General Qi Jiguang. Same for Xing Yi. Basic hand skills, adapted from weaponry. Esp long spear. Basically all the “internal styles” got shrouded with myth and theory from scholars for promotional purposes. Xing Yi, Ba Gua, and Baji are actually so well known because of their connection to Bodyguards / Security Officers.

[@azzy9358]

What about Tong bei?

[@kenlek869]

My lineage is Yin style, the oldest style, and we walk in circles too. One story I heard is that DHC was an outlaw once and hid in a Taoist temple. He had to stay indoors most of the time, in a crowded room with a small square table. He adapted his previous martial arts training to fit the room, walking around and ducking under the table until it eventually became BGZ. Besides the curcle walking, Yin style also has the tiger pouncing move in the video. We do it in a zig zag manner called "zhi step" (之字步).

[@kenlek869]

​@@azzy9358Tongbei is quite different from Bagua, Xingyi and Taiji, which share similar body mechanics and rely on body weight, structure and leverage to strike or throw. Tongbei is mostly striking with various parts of the hands and forearms, with very little grappling. It emphasizes mobility like Bagua, but idealizes the gibbon's agility and long arms. Strikes look relaxed, with a unique shaking movement of the torso and striking arm that resembles Systema. Bear in mind that this is traditional Tongbei, not the modern performance version seen in wushu competitions.

Seeing Kevin react to this is so much more proof to me than seeing some students from the school being used as dummies. I'm not sure about our human fascination with "qi" but these kind of things do make me think more about body mechanics, leverage, and mind to muscle connection. It's so easy to practice my strikes without much thought, but it's so different when I have to throw punches with the ideas of good fundamentals in mind.

[@JorgePentonSitumorang]

Nice to see some good bagua, and explained with simple terms, without obscuring things with terms like qi or dantian. If I had unlimited time and money, I'd totally learn bagua zhang, out of xingyi, taiji and bagua, the last one is often considered the most complicated in terms of movements in training. Xingyi is considered the most straightforward, and those few times I had occasion to train it, there's a lot to grasp anyway.

[@ShredST]

"without obscuring things with terms like qi or dantian" The thing is, qi is a very common word in Chinese, used in many different contexts and with different meanings. So when a Chinese master use the word qi, you can think of it as them attempting to describe something in their body using common simple language. When the word gets tossed around in the West, then it becomes obscure and exotic and esoteric.

[@JorgePentonSitumorang]

@@ShredST I once argued with some westerner about "kua", I told him that kua / kuazi is just hips, and he insisted that kua is some very specific alchemical part of the body also, I can't agree 100%, the language Chinese people themselves talk about martial arts also changed, specifically in XIX and XX century, due to contact with Westerners (which influence was multifaceted, starting from gunpowder being used more, and ending on orientalist seeking of vague "wisdom of the East" but indeed, qi has so many meanings, starting from the weather (tianqi), and ending on emotions (sheng qi)

[@ShredST]

​@@JorgePentonSitumorangI was at a seminar with the Yang family tai chi lineage holder Yang Jun recently. Instead of saying "open your kua", he just said "round out your crotch" which sounds kind of ugly but is much more straightforward

[@JimmySaint43]

Tbh, I learned that concept in Tae Kwon Do years ago (granted my sifu was a black belt in wushu, wing chun, and karate). It's even found in boxing, hence why their footwork is so vital for their punching power. It's a rather ubiquitous concept in pretty much every martial art that teaches you to strike.

[@johndough8115]

Wing Chun borrowed from the Highest level fighting technology of its Era, in its development and creation. Its a reduced artform, however... which is why its missing a lot of components seen in other deeper Chinese combat arts (like grappling, throws, etc). Chi Sao, is a reduced form of Tai Chi's Push Hand drills, for example. And the part of Wing Chun's first form, that is repeated 3 times? That section is called "Three Prayers to Buddha", is its actually supposed to be done in SLOW motion, like Tai Chi form work. Each arm extension and retraction, should take a minimum of 60 seconds. That extends the time in that section, from 3 minutes... to 16 minutes. Not only that... but when you practice the 1st form.. you are supposed to train it for at least 1 hour. That would be four continuous reps of the entire form, without breaks / rests. And since the majority of the form is performed very fast (explosive speed / power)... Most of your time and efforts will be focused on the 3 Prayers Section... which will eventually start to strain your Tendons... which eventually leads to development of "Super Strong Tendons" (and many other beneficial effects, which would take several more pages of texts to describe). That said, yes... Most of These methods are seen in other Chinese arts. The reason is simple. These fighters were often sparring, fighting, and or warring against each other. As such... if a fighter Lost a fight to a different arts methods... they would either develop new counter methods.. and or... they would adopt the winning technology into their own arts. The best technology would tend to win... and so the best technology ended up spreading to most all of the Arts.

Kevin you are so humble. 😊

[@ceedubelu]

I see why this style was used as the basis for airbending. It has so much force and power generated for small moves, the results seem more like a gust of wind is pushing and pulling the opponent off balance

[@ShawAnthoni]

For me it was that bicep on the outside of the Masters palm 😮 The strikes have got to be insane.

[@larnellwellsjr.2399]

Now I see why Bruce Lee was so skilled. If you watch closely you see these movements in Bruce's fight scenes.

I hope you'll get in more internal martial arts. There is something people don't understand and DON'T want to understand, dismissing it as fake. When it's actually no magic, it's just different biomechanics led by internal feelings instead of doing techniques. Please, do Taiji Quan masters such as Mizner, Dehua, Rasmus, etc...

One of the best ever Kevin!

Beautyfull Video Please whats the Name of this Master?

[@Imisambi]

Good stuff.....EXCELLENT STUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!

[@SavageEntertainmentYEAH]

Use faajin during the cling in kickboxing to throw strong body shots still. That hip snap makes your whole body like a whip I think it feels decently powerful without having to wind up or force muscles to flex as much. Im no kung fu practitioner or anything but I think kung fu and Chinese martial arts in general has so much information to learn from.

This takes me back to my third grade middle school days when I was hanging out in the playground with my buddies and playing kung fu master it’s the exact same thing😂

[@OniLyger714]

Awesome video what style of bagua does he practice didn’t show enough for me to gauge though I did see the circle walking chi na and all the other stuff gives me confidence in what I learned it was awesome. Dong Haichuan had a ton of great students which is why I am curious the kung fu linage I did derived from Yin Fu which is why I was curious keep up the awesome videos.

[@garrettmccullough2249]

3:07 I literally laughed out loud. That was an awesome move.

[@michaellebovitz2414]

Holy crap, I love master Hu. It's so awesome watching masters of the art like him. Also! Random question. What are some good Kung Fu movies with Bagua?

[@cletusgadsden2969]

Kevin Lee does every martial srt great snd speaks another language, badass!

[@Awakenedmind333]

So how does one get those hands exactly? Is it the grip training?

[@MarioLamRedRebel]

🥋 USO 🥋 Jet Li knows this art also and master it, he knows north and south styles. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@ShredST]

Chinese martial art does have good stuff. I just wish there's more of a focus on adapting to modern combat with regards to things like entry, defense, angles, etc. When they do applications, it still mostly against long committed punches

Cool to hear you speaking Mandarin
