Shuai Jiao - Kung Fu Wrestling, Defense Techniques by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming (YMAA) DVD

www.ymaa.com/publishing/dvd/ex...
基本摔跤防身法 (Ji Ben Shuai Jiao Fang Shen Fa)
Practical and Effective Takedowns
Shuai Jiao is one of the four main fighting categories of traditional Chinese martial arts: Kicking (Ti, 踢), Striking (Da, 打), Chin Na (Na, 拿), and Wrestling (Shuai, 摔). Shuai Jiao specializes in countering against punching and kicking, using defense as the offense. Shuai Jiao is commonly used for short range fighting and taking down an opponent.
Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming offers in-depth instruction of the history, key concepts, solo and partner drills, and fundamental Shuai Jiao movements. Dr. Yang demonstrates practical defense techniques, with an emphasis on how to safely intercept, repel, and neutralize incoming strikes.
Over 25 Shuai Jiao takedown techniques are instructed step-by-step, with corrections for common mistakes. These wrestling techniques are an excellent compliment to your sparring skills, and can be easily incorporated into all martial art styles.

[@Ymaa_Publication_Center]

Shuai Jiao is both an aspect of most Chinese martial arts, and a style unto itself. Its actually one of the oldest Chinese styles. Dr. Yang learned shuai jiao with several masters while studying long fist, white crane, and taijiquan kung fu. There are a couple lifting throws. They look alike because takedowns/throws are universal to all styles, from all cultures. The DVD focuses on 25 of the most fundamental and practical throws. The narration in the DVD is by Dr. Yang himself. YMAA dot com

It's not really that different from Western Wrestling, Judo, and Aikido which is more popular. So, kind of hard to see them as wrestling based style of kung fu.

[@Ymaa_Publication_Center]

@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 Aikido is 100 years old. Shuai Jiao Kung Fu wrestling is thousands of years old. This is the origin of Eastern-style wrestling.

[@Ymaa_Publication_Center]

@bluebina0327 Shuai Jiao is defeinitely a style of its own, based in mogolian groundfighting. But shuai is also part of most other traditional styles.

[@curtis1200]

The art of fast grappling (shuai jiao) ain't no joke I did it for ten years and its devastating if you pull it off. If you pull it off whomever you do it to will be upchucking and probably get a concussion all at the same time.

[@Supermomo2007]

why you stopped practice ?

[@Rikk1825]

Patience is a virtue. Probably one of the reasons why meditation is such a big part of the Shaolin curriculum.

[@jeffdoeskungfu]

@089hlj I agree. Ever since I learned to incorporate shuai jiao into my arsenal, I find it really easy to neutralize many other traditional stylists. It allows me to turn any one of their strikes into a takedown or throw.

[@MrByaeger]

some of the hardest throws i've ever seen were Shaui Jiao, they had to do them in sand. really respect this art, has something to offer any practioner of the acts. very very practical and simple.

[@EdDy4RheelZ]

Zhang Tie Quan uses Shuai Jiao as primary wrestling style while using Sanshou as stand-up style. This folk wrestling has been proven effective, even in the octagon. I'm not Chinese but I got to learn about this art through Zhang Tie Quan. He's currently practicing BJJ and he's a great fighter. This is coming from a average Muay Thai fighter who enjoys MMA. Shuai Jiao is proven effective. May not be the most recommended, preferred art but it's effective and that's all it matters.

[@rogelioramos5949]

[@EurekaRecycler]

Thanks Dr. Yang

[@alfonsoceja3567]

Buen punto master, Básicos y principios del arte marcial para principiantes y avansados.

[@j.a.2770]

Cool video! Nice to know there is more than Greco Roman and BJJ

[@089hlj]

-I pretty much abandoned judo/jiujitsu once I learned shuai jiao/chin-na and truly understood it in depth. It is far superior to a lot of the common grappling style arts that are out there now. Much better for the street too. I trained both these arts in traditional kung-fu, and also studied them as separate arts as well. Truly devestating on the street when balanced with other training.

[@skibitom]

Excellent.

[@benh9961]

谢谢分享

[@darthclone7]

@089hlj does it have groundwork or mostly takedowns?

[@ulyssesvillarreal6445]

thanks

[@dbspaceoditty]

@089hlj what are your thoughts on aikido? this seems very similar but chinese instead of japanese

[@tenhirankei]

I was remarking on the similarity of the two arts in that particular instance.

[@eliotquintana9802]

I learned my Chinese wrestling technique from tv police story

[@ChineseAndFilipinoMartialArts]

@minasz Lol have you ever tried to use these techniques? Of course they work, it's simple physics (and before you say anything these techniques have been tried and tested in sparring). Of course they aren't always so clean but they can and do work. This is an instructional DVD so the falls are sometimes exaggerated but they still work. Watch San Da if you don't believe it.

[@taijilou]

I learn from Sifu Gordon Lu, son of Si gung Lo Man Kam, nephew of Ip Man.

[@bluebina0327]

@ForwardIntent My husband, who teaches both Shuai-Chiao and Praying Mantis insists that it s. if I mention that there are different branches of Shuai-Chiao such as Bao Ding and Beijng; just as there are different branches of Praying mantis (seven star, eight step, plum blossom, etc.) you could argue that those branches are 'styles' and that the general terms Shuai-Chiao and Mantis are 'systems' or something else(The term 'category' seems odd, here). But that's just semantics.

[@sabrina0327]

I was aware that Dr. Yang studied White Crane, Long Fist and Tai Chi Chuan. From whom did he learn Shuai Jiao?

[@Meta_Meech]

have u actually used Chin Na and or Tai chi in a street fight?

[@ramilparedes9930]

Malupet

[@bluebina0327]

@ForwardIntent Shuai Jiao is a style.

[@taijilou]

actually, it's tai chi. kung fu literally means "achieved through effort". Studying, singing, and bodybuilding are all kung fu. This particular gong fu is yang tai chi.

[@user-zz6qz3lk9t]

nope....

[@jamiirali1]

i can see where kuntao gets some of it's lower limb attacks from. shuai jiao has brutal lower leg attacks.

[@Meta_Meech]

Im actually retiring from Chinese MA's to pursue Capoeira, but I had several. 1st my grandfather Russell Tye Sr. who taught my two uncles Alexander Tye and Christian Russell and then all three of them taught me. Then my uncles then went to Master Aaron Brown to learn Liu Seong Kuntao. I hate Kuntao so I abandoned it I later when to All-Star Martial Arts where I got an even more in depth understanding of Shuai Jiao, Kuai Jiao in particular. I also was on the wrestling team and learned basic TKD.

[@xyaqua]

Yes, of course... LMAO at myself. Makes a little more sense that way, eh? I swear, i made the switch somewhere some years ago and never noticed. I love it... :-) peace!

[@ChineseAndFilipinoMartialArts]

@Cuntexplosion Yes he is slightly out of shape but look at how old he is. The techniques are solid and proven (and have been used in sparring). Also, when UFC first started plenty of the fighters were out of shape. Having a bit of a belly doesn't automatically make someone a bad fighter, especially when age is considered. Muhammed Ali is out of shape now but does that mean he could never fight in his day? Of course not.

[@Meta_Meech]

Any documentary or research website will show that all Japanese MA come from Chinese MA. As AmericanCryer stated even the infamous Gaycies gave credit to Chin Na which is the Submission System of all Chinese MA not be confused with this vid which is wrestling. In Chinese MA we draw a very distinct difference between wrestling and grappling. Wrestling is controlling someone without jointlocks and strangling. Grappling is using joint and strangling for control. Hope that helps smart ass :)

[@Dajen_Tk]

Wing chun needs to incoporate this asap!

[@Vision-yp1uv]

Djrion2 already has. And I do it too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/an22q5aIeLaNe6s

[@pocilam2775]

How I realize that Shui Jiao is an ancient martial art in china long long time a go. Haters only bullshit.

[@asaventurasdevillasusi6824]

Mr Alex, The greatest evil of humanity is the old habit of condemning all that is unknown to them! You have more respect for the Chinese martial art, and for all the great masters. And Master Yang, he is a great Master !!! You have the right not to want to know the Chinese martial arts and their masters, but you have a duty to RESPECT! p.s: We do not need more wars, we need more peace, respect, and learn to live as brothers ... Respecting our differences !!!

[@BoRaiCho88]

Sorry. Did you mean Shuai Jiao?

[@MrMaiandros]

Louis Linn IS the one, who introduced to Europe (Sweden) Shuai Jiao! Just visit our club! Mery Christmas!

[@Rikk1825]

I wouldn't even know where to start. I heard that if you train in kung fu you can learn to fight in about 3 years. With tai chi it takes about 10 years but is well worth the wait as tai chi is superior to external kung fu. My favorite style is Sanshou kung fu. I just wish there was a dojo in my area.

[@kaindrg]

@Brandontrann other way around since by defintion wrestling is a type of grapping rather than the other way around while it is possible to have grappling but not wrestling. since as traditional jujitsu and chinese chin na as grappling but not wrestling nor does it need to in order to apply in a fight .

[@darth8freak]

neat!

[@Nhia89]

looks like every other throws i've seen in the chinese art tai chi, bagua, northern mantis etc etc

[@Hujjee]

If youre down to come to Canada

[@dianami2008]

@ChanGengYun I'm guessing they are marketing this DVD to English speakers. Otherwise it would be narrated by whoever they wanted it to be seen by.

[@xyaqua]

way better than what i have been able to do- but it is a hell of a great ride in trying- and learning. the few bits i've been able assimilate- have been like nuclear cheat sheets-- lao tzu said if he were give 50 years added to his life- he would spend them studying the i ching, I would at least split that 50/50 with shuai chiao. And that would be a life well spent.

[@Rikk1825]

FUCK YEAH! good to know. thx :)

[@Meta_Meech]

Dude Yang Tai Chi is a Chinese wrestling style like Shuai Jiao so they're gonna look similar. In fact u'll even seen movement in Shuai Jiao that looks just like Ba Gua, I know cuz ive seen it. Look at Judo and Aikido they look just like this. My point is all MA is connected and at top level they all look the same. And so Im not polite cuz I asked u did u read the tag or listen to the narrator but u say I come of like "I" have no sense. Wat ever bra I was just informing u, but I guess I no sense.

[@Meta_Meech]

No Homo but I luv u man! LOL finally someone returning the truth and that has actually trained in both vs never doin kung fu a day in thier lives but sayin it dont work! Shuai Jiaw has been around alot longer than BJJ and thats wat BJJ and MMA doesn't even know. they have no clue this even exist which will make them underestimate a COMPLETE kung fu fighter. I have to learn this in depth!

[@AntonioGuamil]

@dbspaceoditty hear hear so true bro

[@Meta_Meech]

judo, JJ and BJJ are from this

[@kaindrg]

@Brandontrann wrestling is a better reference point to train from when doing chin na so that may be why one would assume those a quitisential supports in applying. but an example that still exists today would be chinese kung fu brigdging concept which doesnt not require wrestling to employ china or throws. also since ninjutsu taught today in the bujinkan and in classical time borrowed regional jujisuts in their empty hand the also parry and bridge to do locks

[@MasterSnoopMenuce]

Code word Kungfu Wrestling

[@Meta_Meech]

both

[@quanfa88]

@sabrina0327 Lighten up, Sabrina. My Chinese isn't excellent, but it's good enough to know that they way the narrator pronounces "shuai jiao" makes it sound like he is saying "boiled dumplings" (shui jiao) rather than "throwing and grappling" ("shuai jiao"). Must sound simply wrong to a native Chinese speaker.

[@Cuntexplosion]

@HeavensAMountain i get your point. i just think in a looooot of dojos everybody just takes the senseis word as the truth. even if he NEVER had even 1 fight in his life. that doesn't mean, he has to be a bad teacher/master/sensei/fighter....it just makes it very easy for a lot of rip-offs! oh...and maybe ali is not the best example ?!

[@hoangminhnguyen1897]

hello hay

[@CingLan99]

kung fu is main martial art n consists of techniques of all fighting styles including the techniques of karate n jiu jutsu. there r thousands of styles from shaolin and some of the effective grappling techniques of this kung fu has lead to jiu jutsu martial art n there r thousands of grappling techniques from chinese kung fu but shuai jiao here i see is one of the basics of throwing n is a short way of throwing an opponent. its a bit like taichi wrestling itself

[@taijilou]

Who is your Sifu?

[@kaindrg]

@089hlj i agree but i would discredit sports counter parts. jiu jitsu has teh advantage of teaching a person to fight will on their back. catch as catch can, though not as popular as jiu jitus, is a wrestling style that is highly technical and even its arm drag has just as much finse and technicality to it relying not on musceling oppenents in but cranking it

[@danielveselinoski8131]

Hello there, have you considered "Musclegends" (just search Google)? On their website you can watch a good free video showing how to build up notable muscles very fast. This made it possible for Ryan to overcome his bodybuilding stagnation and therefore build chiseled muscle with no fat very fast. Hopefully it will work for you also.

[@jeffdoeskungfu]

@quanfa88 Haha! That's what I thought too. I am now hungry.

[@giovannisenili2771]

[@ilikedirt250]

Disciplines vs disciplines will equal great fights. Cross disciplines and you may have great fights, or poor fights. This is the way of the warrior.

[@youtryingtobelikeme]

pay my airplane ticket and ill go. i always wanted to go to Canada.

[@bluebina0327]

Styles, sub-styles, systems, subsystems, branches, etc. all just semantics... But in the last few years that I have met numerous Shuai-Chiao instructors, and have been present at many conferences seminars and tournaments with my husband, I have heard no one else say that Shuai-Chiao is not a style of martial arts.

[@MrEvilslashy]

7 people got their ass kicked trying this at home.

[@angel-rq4fz]

The Best wrestling as is Efficient and accessible to everyone ; No Athletism needed .

[@BryanDeathGrind666]

its just like chin na just slight differences.

[@Ymaa_Publication_Center]

Sort of. All Chinese martial arts contain four aspects, shuai (wrestling), na (grappling), punching, and kicking. So, Shuai Jiao is an (ancient) martial style unto itself, but shuai is part of most other martial styles. Chin Na is not a martial art style. It is a grappling technique within all styles...Hope that helps.

[@BryanDeathGrind666]

YMAA thank you , it did help I would love it if we can talk more about martial arts , ancient martial arts ect. In general not many ppl to tlk to bout it everybodys alwaysz goin om about the practical stuff which is good n all just im more into shaolin kung fu and the 72arts.

[@xyaqua]

this is like Taiji - looks too simple and easy- but it takes years of practice- but the results- think of Steven Seagal- but with less effort- i wish i had the patience to master this

[@jarrodborne]

How to practice realistically but safely? That is the obstacle that every martial art faces. Check out my tai chi video @ Kung Fu New Orleans on KZbin.

[@taijilou]

You are right. I should be more polite.

[@Meta_Meech]

I'll admit I cud've been more respectful. Im just so used to being on the defensive about KF when MMA enthusiast on here always to shit that I just lashed out at u. But keep in mind Yang style Tai Chi & Ba GuaZhang for that matter to have Chin Na in them as well, Shuai Jiao doesnt so how u tell the difference. Also u had to admit, me quoting words was pretty funny. I cudnt help it, ur articulation was so good I had to use it. I know u at least smiled out of amusement.

all i know is i have seen grandmaster chiciones shuai chiao students fight on the streets, for real. thats if you could call it a fight, more like a slaughter. guys start talking about how they do mma this or kenpo that, they go to make a move and then their down at the blink of an eye

[@KakuAndy]

Show us the evidence

[@zappo1355]

No one doubts BJJ, judo, etc. came from somewhere. Problem is, we've learned some things since Grandpa Chin Na was useful for fighting. BJJ, boxing, wrestling, etc is actually functional for fighting in the 21st century. Chin Na, Tai Chi, etc, are not.

[@Supermomo2007]

because of lack of sparring???

[@bluebina0327]

@quanfa88 I am a native Chinese speaker. (I'm Chinse). I recognize that it sounds like this particular narrator is saying "dumpling" . Chan Geng Yun's comment was still racist.

[@huayaman]

the narrator keep saying dumpling

[@senseistrange]

Confucius said that, not Lao Tzu. peace.

[@azumanation]

Excellent. but the world have to come to the realization wrestling/grappling martial arts originated from ancient Africa Nubia, Kemet were you can find hundreds of hieroglphs on the walls of Egyptian tombs & temples. many of the paintings depict ancient Nubian soldiers engaging in kicks, locks, throws take downs, blows etc etc.. many of the moves resemble Chinese Shuai Jiao. these Kemetian martial arts was being practiced in Africa 3000 to 4000yrs before China and all the rest of Asia.

[@leifodinnson]

OK so who cares who had it first?

[@joelhusbands3838]

in most civilizations you find wrestling and or stick fighting as the foundations. that and hurling objects. Most Other primates do that quite well too. I don't think it matters who did it first. these are natural reactions of self preservation no matter what region you're from.

[@moominpic]

The thing is there are only so many ways the body works and it is inevitable that some techniques will look the same wherever they "originate". TO say they were being practiced centuries before is possible but questionable. It might just be that they recorded it first.

[@joelhusbands3838]

Im quite sure two neanderthals in Europe beating the living hell out of each other would have bin older than any recorded form of martial arts in kemet...not saying that Europe did it first though. 

[@moominpic]

I saw a couple of neanderthals doing that in town the other day... I'll ask them when they started ;-)

[@xchargerOUx]

It's called Trapping. And yes, trapping is a functional for fighting in the 21st century. It's just dummies over look it and jump from striking to grappling.

[@Meta_Meech]

Wait! "Master Killer" Gordon Lu?! "36 Chambers" Gordon Lu?! Thats wats up. So u know Hung Gar to? Thats wat my grandfather taught me was the 5 Animals. Do u fight in tournaments at all?

Shuia jiao kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipDVc5xrrLx4fas

[@Meta_Meech]

Dude this Shuai Jiao dont u listen?! Dont u read? Shuai Jiao is considered a close relative ,yes, but this is clearly not Tai Chi. Ive been doing Chinese MA since I was. 3 I know how to tell the difference between them. Ive even done Kuntao which is kung-fu practiced by Silat martial artist, just like Wudang is kung-fu practice by Tai Chi martial artist.

[@Hujjee]

I want to see a good wrestler and a good gung fu man go at it so it's a fair matchup. I just really dont get your logic haha XD And by the way the gracies already proved that grapplers generally win fights in a decisive manner against kung fu representatives so I think the point is already proven.

[@taijilou]

This is tai chi, not judo.

[@DoktorSick]

i want to see this dude do some sparring and not just throw someone around that just stands there

[@Ymaa_Publication_Center]

+DoktorSick He is 70 years old. Not a lot of sparring nowadays.

[@philliprobinson129]

Its like, hey, instead of actually learning how to wrestle or do Judo, let's just do this shit instead. It's like actually learning how to throw and shoot for the legs (which is the most efficient way to take some one down) would just make too much sense. It boggles the mind. Why do so many people just not want to learn how to grapple?

[@Ymaa_Publication_Center]

Shuai Jiao is the root of judo.

[@youtryingtobelikeme]

okay then, im down to meet up n we can go at it. you talk so big, then lets c what u about

[@Cuntexplosion]

@AmericanCryer only because something has lasted long doesn't mean it's good. it just means that there were ppl who told things/ideas to new generations. if nobody overthinks those ideas for himself, stupid and useless stuff will last long. simple as that! and if you use theory in real life and discover it doesn't work and improve that/throw away everything that doesn't work you got modern mma. everything useless won't last. simple as that!

[@luchador1764]

@089hlj damn dude you made the wrong decision!

[@taijilou]

I want to see a weak wrestler try to take a good gung fu man like this,they would die.
