Shaolin and Shuai Jiao

Master Yuan Zumou has been teaching us traditional Chinese wrestling also applied with kicks and punches for more than thirty years. In fact, his Shou Bo project includes a level without clothing grabs, a level with clothing grabs, and a level with kicks and punches. It is therefore simple for me to integrate Shuai Jiao with the different traditional styles, as in this case. The footage is taken from a lesson held at the Yang Long School, specializing in traditional Shaolin. Students are often amazed at how some difficult to understand techniques in Taolu suddenly become clear from a Shuai Jiao point of view; it's natural, wrestling is very ancient and is at the roots of our arts.

Cool, I saw irimi nage and Shotokan bunkai for Pinan explained in this presentation.

[@DanteBasili]

Ciao Lawrence. Yes, the concept of Qiezi is present in many traditional wrestling and in Karate Kata, for those who have eyes to see, there are many projections to the ground, as in Shaolin.

[@peaceonearth8693]

I love the idea of weight-shifting techniques, where one's body position against another person makes all the key difference.

Grazie Maestro 🙏 When someone masters movement in a way that power is in such movement , so that is invisible to oponents eye ... Maestro knows so much more ... maybe Im wrong but I doubt it ! This is fundimental , without speed & power ! With this 2 "things" ... it becomes leathal ... Without ... it becomes dance and that looks so beautiful ... Grazie 🙏

Grazie Maestro 🙏

Grazie mille M° Dante, tutto il lavoro di Tao Bi è sempre utilissimo e come sempre tutti i dettagli che nasconde e che mostri nel video! Grazie di cuore

[@davidrodgers6939]

One of those concepts looks very much like “Drive the Needle to the Bottom of the Sea” from Yang Taiji Quan. First around the ten second mark and then later around 3:30. Very cool stuff, as always. Thanks!

[@DanteBasili]

Ciao David. Yes, it's true, I forgot to tell the guys that it is a classic "needle on the seabed" application of Taiji Yang. You remembered it 🙏🏽

[@reflexflow9088]

Quickly taking the back is such an important strategy, BaGua style footwork in this Shuai Liao Grabbling is perfect way to do that! Thank you, Master Basili!

[@DanteBasili]

Yes Bob, it was an "indispensable" strategy when you were in a crowd and didn't want to be a fixed target for archers and crossbowmen. It also allows you to save yourself when you are attacked by multiple opponents because you can use one of them as a shield. This explains the strange circle or semicircle "runs" of some traditional styles.

[@ManchesterKungFu]

Excellent🙏

[@mieszkowisniewski835]

Sifu I have a theory. Mayby its mistake becouse I am a beginner in Big and Wanderfull world of Kung Fu. But In my opinion Shuai Jiao its ancient Judo. Mongols learn this from Chinese, and teach some Japanese peopsles durant Mongol Invasion to Japan. But its only my thinking. It look so good and its sure effective as always. Greetings from Poland

[@DanteBasili]

Shuai Jiao has Mongolian and Manchu roots as well as some typically Chinese developments. Below I link a video where at the beginning you can see both the Mongolian and Manchurian wrestling. There are some styles of Ju Jitsu (precursor of Judo) which have a declared Chinese origin, but there is a great tradition of typically Japanese Wrestling (even Sumo, which is very ancient, is wrestling) and the same goes for Korea and perhaps for every country in the world. Furthermore, in Jiu Jitsu and Judo a sophisticated ground work has widely developed which is present in China in only a few styles. (dog style) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXPQqquArpl-a5Y

@@DanteBasili many thanks Sifu for explanation. I need to read more about this. Have nice day

[@gianlucaguratti8703]

Mi sono allenato proprio ieri, sugli stessi concetti, con il mio Padawan! 😅❤🙏

[@DanteBasili]

Ciao Gianluca. Le cose importanti non sono tante, ma dobbiamo allenarci tanto per farle bene 🙂

[@oscarvariedadesycreaciones]

Hola Sifu Dante. Otro exquisito trabajo para disfrutar y aprender. Le hago una pregunta. En su opinión (o conocimiento), qué fue lo que se desarrolló primero, las artes de lucha, o el golpeo? Acaso el Shuai Jiao podría ser considerado el estilo más antiguo? Teniendo en cuenta que todos los estilos de boxeo (kung fu) conservan en sus tao lu movimientos de palanca o derribo. Desde ya, y como siempre, muchas gracias

[@DanteBasili]

Ciao Oscar I think and maintain that, anthropologically, wrestling, like the Shuai Jiao in China, is the oldest, in the world. Pienso y sostengo que, antropológicamente, la lucha libre, como la Shuai Jiao en China, es la más antigua del mundo.

[@oscarvariedadesycreaciones]

@@DanteBasili muchas gracias por su respuesta. Coincido con su pensamiento. Saludos

[@greenshifu]

Which part of china is Shaolin Dahong quan from 4:24 .

[@DanteBasili]

All the Shaolin that I have studied and that the kids of this school also study is the Shaolin of Henan, Northern China. The Shaolin of the Temple.

[@greenshifu]

@@DanteBasili so in China is there a difference between North and South martial arts?
