I really appreciate how you respectfully approach every martial art instead of calling bullshit everywhere.

[@ArtofOneDojo]

There are too many people calling BS on arts but the truth is, every art has something good to it, and it's honestly much more rewarding looking at each art with no bias and just understanding why it is the way it is. I'm learning a ton doing these and I'm enjoying them very much.

[@etherjoe505]

Agree whole heartedly 👍

That's because a true martial artist respects all styles.

[@peterkhew7414]

You forgot to mention that Xingyiquan is based on the spear. A person named Ji Jike was a retired military personnel who wanted to covert his spear techniques into fists, so he came up with Xinyi Liuhe, and then passed down the art to Dai Longbang. Xingyiquan was a modification of Dai family Xinyi Liuhe created by Li Luoneng.

[@grndragon7777777]

That's crazy but makes sense.

[@JonErikLido]

Well done. As a classical acupuncturist and someone who's studied Xingyiquan I think you and Shifu Bluestein did an especially good job describing the Five Phases (Wuxing). Usually folks mangle that concept. I'm also stunned that you went so far as to highlight connections to the stems and branches. Wow. One thing I would like to note is that not all Xingyi systems distinguish the 12 animals. There are multiple styles of Xingyiquan just like there are multiple styles of Karate.

[@ArtofOneDojo]

All credit goes to Shifu Bluestein on this one, he wrote the script and provided all of the material. This episode would not exist without him :)

This is easily one of the best series on KZbin for me. Has gotten me through some moments and I thank you for it. My teacher teaches Bagua and Tiger. Due to being the Gao system, he employs elements of Xing Yi. I didnt realize Chinese Muslims made it :)

No, thank YOU for this comment. This is what makes the channel worth doing :)

[@casualtom82]

What a pleasant surprise! I actually studied XingYi for a brief period in college. Got blue belt rank. But very interestingly, the Kyokushin school I just joined is actually big on meridians and the five elements. Very eager to see more!

[@superfatbobtail]

That is Yi quan, an art which was created in the early 20th century by a XingYi master who fell in love in boxing. He took the meditation and chi kung from Xingyi into western boxing.

[@A.SimonsensKanal]

Kyokushin is a great style - did it before getting severe asthma. What helped me covercome it was actually Xingyiquan. But anyway: Kyokushin directly and through Yiquan was much influenced in their fighting style (fighting stance,kamae) by Xingyiquan -　that I've been practicing for more than two decades now. All the best and respect to all Kyokushin practitioners!

[@live2win4freedom82]

Loving your vids on the history of different arts

[@jcarney1987]

nice vid, I my primary martial art is Wing Chun because I learned it by studying and understanding how to make it practical, I've since branch out studying boxing, and dabling in all the enternal martial arts being taji quan, buagua, and of course Xingyi quan. I found xingyi interesting and I'm still learning it. I have yet to understand it enough to be practical in hand to hand combat, but it has some interesting concepts. All though I must say learning the Xingyi Forms along actually benefited my Wing Chun, because while I was naturally rooting myself with every attack, Xingyi made it more obvious and allowed me to prefect it even more.

[@bobbysteele2656]

This comment is late, but much respect to you for this video, you'd be surprised how many fellow martial artists give you a blank stare when you mention it, that goes double for regular folks. 👍🏾

[@billymandalay193]

Hsing also means Form. Mind Intent shaped Form. But it's not really about preset shapes or form. It's like spontaneous, in the moment, stream of consciousness drawing.

Thank you! A lot of credit goes to Shifu Bluestein, this episode would not exist without him :)

[@jjooee1199]

Another great history video! These are always really well put together and I will impatiently await part 2! A quick note though; the statement about farmers being physically fit already as an explanation of the arts training was a bit of a stretch for me. Usually the poor classes are malnourished and therefore weakened by sickness, etc. In there respective time. I don't know the history but it would make sense to me if they taught it quickly because they are teaching farmers. But I'll admit I don't know the history. P.S. sorry to nitpick xD

[@ArtofOneDojo]

It's in interesting point but most people who studied Chinese Martial arts were poor and lower on the social status. In Japan, studying the martial arts were a luxury for the upper class, but in China it was very different. So farmers were definitely martial artists, but of course those that were strong enough to do it. Hopefully you enjoy part 2!

[@ArtofOneDojo]

@Fight Fly Crow Well, I didn't say it was ONLY the farmers that learned it, but we covered this in "What is Kung Fu?" but in China people typically found training either in temples, villages, and the military. So yes soldiers trained but it wasn't restricted to just them, and the majority of Kung Fu practitioners were civilians. Unlike in Japan, training in the martial arts was a privilege. You didn't find many lower class civilians training in the early days.

[@ArtofOneDojo]

@Fight Fly Crow Plus keep in mind there are hundreds of different variations and styles, so it doesn't mean the military trained in the same thing as everyone else. It also depended largely on the region.

When I've asked martial artist about what style they practiced,many didn't understand what I was asking they thought it was just karate, tai chi chaun,chain, what ever. Never asked a kungfu student but I'm sure they would say shaolin

[@septred3]

When you can, could you make a video called "the main reasons people train in martial arts" because I think that I train for a different reason than many other people think that I train for and that is to someday be a missionary or agent of some sort that martial arts may be leading me to somehow?

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Definitely a topic I would consider. I saw you other post about asking different people and see where that tallies up, but that's a little tougher that way. A poll might provide some good inside, and in fact I may throw one up on the community tab for just that reason to see what people say. If there is a good response then I may consider it as a topic for 2020 :)

[@septred3]

@@ArtofOneDojosan thank you, many times when I comment on a channels page it seems that as long as a channel has under 300k subscribers, then I am more likely to get a response back from someone whether it is the people of the channel themselves, or someone else commenting. The only other time that I can think of when that did not happen is from Adam Salah Vlogs when I commented on one of his videos and it was not a message from him, but rather it was a woman that would not mind getting into a relationship with him all because of sleeping habits since it was the video about him watching himself sleep to see what he does.

Good to hear about Xingyi. On your channel. Bluestein is a good author too I just would have liked more of martial applications and power generation, which are central to this art. The stuff with the planets is nice, but not directly linked to Xingyi. Except that it is Chinese culture and this people like to add esoteric stuff everywhere. Great historical part, bth

[@ArtofOneDojo]

Oh but this is only the first half. Next week is part 2 and we talk more about the techniques and animal forms.

As much as I'd love learning this style, there's no schools in my immediate area. Of course, Chinatown in NYC likely has a school. But I live in NJ, & just to get into NYC costs almost $20.00 each time. Then there's the issue of either shelling out money for private parking, or if you're spending almost an hour looking for an empty spot on the streets. I'd spend almost as much money getting to the school as to the tuition itself.

Thomas Salmon Exactly! Traditional or not.. must be reality fighting! If you don’t actually fight (or are able to use the techniques and a real life situation,) it’s all theory! I know a lot of traditional martial arts guys who can really fight! But there’s a lot more charlatans and frauds! This would actually be an excellent video for dan! I doubt he will do it because he doesn’t like to get political.. he’s a very nice guy.

[@madjidchouarbi3921]

CARLO BELLA The point is the guys this man is fighting aren't masters at all. Just see the way they use guards : they only raise their arm in a way they watched in books or videos but in case of Tai Chi Chuan for exemple, you don't put your hands in that soft manner. The guard would be more like karate or wing chun form. And for win Chun, those so called master don't get any balance but put their entire body back when in guard. There is no honor in beating such impostors even for a average mma fighter.

[@carlobella1850]

Madjid CHOUARBI Sure! He’s challenging frauds! If someone’s not a fraud he’s not challenging them.... just because you are a traditional martial artist does not make you a fraud!

Shifu Jonathan, now that you did a show on Xing Yi Quan, can do another Northern China kung fu call BaJi Quan ( Eight Extreme Fist ) specifically used by Qing Dynasty bodyguards, revolutionary leader Dr. Sun Yat Sen, Chinese leader Mao Ze Dong and Taiwan leader Chiang Kai Shek. Baji Quan is still being taught today in China and Taiwan.

[@hugolarsson2686]

I need some help. I want to start doing karate and in my city there’s two dojo’s with different styles. One is shotokan and the other is kyokushin. I’m looking for the one that is most effective in a streetfight to protect myself. The shotokan one is closer to me so I have only thought about joining that one so far.

[@jeredsizemore3108]

Kyokushin is a very tough style. If you want to be able to tank any punch or kick to your body then go with that. If you're not into that then go for shotokon. Watch sensei Dan's videos on kyokushin history to determine your answer.

[@casualtom82]

Make sure to prioritize your goals and intentions, but I would also suggest visiting both schools and seeing if that can help you make up your mind more easily. No matter the style, it's who you're learning from and who you're training alongside that matter most. Could make up your mind about one style, but maybe the master doesn't give you the right kind of vibe, for example. Good luck!

[@hugolarsson2686]

Thanks to both of you.

[@RandomTwat09]

Jered Sizemore shotokan is better for self defence and Kyokushin is more for sport but kyokushin is a very tough karate

[@casualtom82]

I should add that I've been doing Kyokushin for the past year and it's really good for conditioning the body. It also seems very practical. I sat in on a Shotokan class before joining and wasn't really feeling it, though like I said it may have just been the group.
