Памяти Мастера Юя (于承惠)

[@myklemonde5849]

Hello. I had the honor of spending time with Master Yu in Houston Texas including him Writing some beautiful Chinese for us. drinking tea and Wine haha, and talking about REAL Chinese Kung fu. I can't find the true reason for his unfortunate Death. If someone would PM me or message me That would be Great. He was very kind hearted and a Very wise man, With Deep thought and Amazing strength and Power. And the calm of a true Master. His Death is a Loss, But his memory and his Teaching live on with us forever, Practice what he has taught us and pass it on. You are Missed Master Yu....

Hey there , there was a thought that they broke master Yu's favorite sword during filming, and in china breaking something means it will bring bad luck, he passed away 1 year after the sword break

[@LaifuLama]

He died of long cancer. He was a smoker. The thing that someone accidentally broke is his spear, not sword.

[@itinerantpoet1341]

Superior footwork, superior body mechanics, superior flexibility, completely relaxed, and he never breathes heavily, despite his age. Perfect control. Whole life. Full time. That's real wudang.

[@LaifuLama]

Yu's double-handed sword has nothing to do with Wudang. It belongs to the Prey Mantis Lineage in Chinese martial arts if you want to trace its kung fu style origin.

in my opinion, i always think master yu's jian performance art taolu is the only one of the few in china that actually lean largely toward the intended usage of the sword and the sparring stance that it is intended for. He must have done some rigorous thinking on how to retain the beauty of movement alongside pragmatism trade-off zone. What I mean is that there's a lot less exaggerated fancy movement in his form when I compare it with other taolu performances, as he always maintain in a stance and footwork that can be considered strictly for direct stabbing, quick-reacting parry, reduction of compromising angles and nimble on his feet most of the time. It just can relate itself to a lot of common strategies in full-gear sword sparring.

I studied jian as an acknowledged disciple of Bow Sim Mark for almost 25 years. She never taught the longsword, I suspect because her regard for Yu was so great. While her performance routines became ever more elaborate (think Zhang Yimou), the real fencing she taught me, directly from Li Jinglin, was all footwork and bladework, no nonsense, no messing around. Starting HEMA longsword at 50, I was fully prepared to start learning Yu's techniques, and apply them successfully in sparring, just from having studied his form and technique. Mark, like Yu, understood that the Chinese art is the art of defending your body with the sword-thrusting and cutting are trivial when you've practiced each technique "a thousand thousand times". My understanding is that, in their generation, sparring was taught without protective gear, and only after a student had sufficient mastery, such that most never learn it. I had the privilege of meeting Sifu Yu at the 1986 Seattle performance, and my teacher made sure I understood he was an outlier, and one of the very greatest masters of his era.

[@itinerantpoet1341]

The instructional video is great. With a new resurgence of interest in longsword worldwide, I hope to see more of Yu techniques in US sparring. (If you want an edge over the Hungarians, this would be it. There are no wudang masters of note in that region, so far as I know, but the US has had real wudang for almost 50 years. longsword is not often taught-that needs to change:)

于師傅您好，您的雙手劍教學非常有用，使本人容易掌握套路要領。請問有冇雙手劍的連環圖書教學版出售呢？

[@Taiji-tanglangSpbRu]

没有 :(

[@itinerantpoet1341]

This longsword form was reconstructed, but the wudang method of movement is extant, and has been refined continuously in the 20th century. Yu was a jian master before he reconstructed the longsword. This is an extant tradition. Don't make the mistake of thinking these techniques don't work and haven't been validated. In wudang, sparring is the last thing you learn, and not everyone learns it, because you're expected to have mastered the weapon first, and very few do.

А какое практическое применение показывает бородатый дядя в шортиках? Так махать любой дурак может.

[@andreyp7239]

О! Похоже я дурак, ибо пока не повторю. Показать сможешь? Хотя бы на видео? Это придаст мне сил!

Ты слишком молод, русский парень

[@itinerantpoet1341]

@@user-dw7ku3ec8z You are correct. The young one doesn't yet know what he doesn't know. Eastern European sword is strong, because they train hard, like Wudang, but they still seem to use their arms and legs, not their waists. I don't see them doing it so quickly and strongly with white beards, but I'm more formidable at 50 than I was at 20, and my wudang technique is low compared to Yu.
