This isn't a combat situation and is not a case of a complicit "opponent". It's a demo in which Sifu Liang shows various techniques using different types of jin familiar to anyone who knows internal martial arts. Anyone with a functional brain would know using this in real fighting situations would require extensive training, including a lot of true push hands or sparring, and there's nothing about the video that should deceive a viewer into thinking they can just start copying what they see in the video and be successful. I doubt you're really concerned about someone getting injured by having false confidence after watching a video like this. Your main goal seems to be to disparage the system and the practitioners.

By the way, we do not have to be as good as the Sifu Liang. We can exercise Taiji to improve our body and soul. This will be much, much easier.

Great explanation for Chi. Ying/Yang/Li from 1:00-2:50 was amazing. Chi seams almost comical the way its perceived by most people because its explanation usually makes it sound impractical. But this makes it sound very practicle.

[@Dovey14]

This looks great! I wonder if De Hua can turn the dude into a monkey? I learned from Master Kim-Lee in Korea about chi-gon. He could throw his chi across the room. I once saw him hit 4 people (they were standing in a straight line) at the same time from 10 feet away. He moved them back like they were pushed in the chest! Speaking to the four people later, they all said they felt him push them as if he put his hands on them! Amazing! To this day, those people cannot believe Master Lee didn't (couldn't) touch them. Master Lee taught us how to find our poles (where our energy comes from) and to close our switches to re-energize our chi! For the past 8 years, I've been on a quest in search of an answer to Who is the Master? Leroy

[@williamcranstoun9566]

I have trained in these jins in another school. I have to say that there is no way you will learn them at fast fighting speed. In the beginning you need a willing partner who will push in one direction at the same pressure without withdrawing or removing the push. Also hopefully they will allow themselves to move to reflect how your jin is affecting them so that you see what is hardly believable because it feels like you are not doing anything. The jin in large part are qualities not applications. Then you learn to put these qualities in push hands and only then does push hands become fun. Even in push hands it's good if your teacher sets himself up to show how to put those qualities into not only the accepted shape of applications, but at any moment whatsoever and no matter where you are being touched. Then and only then could the training be carried over into slow motion then fast sparring. Or you can like myself be satisfied that you have learned something amazing that improves the quality of life and health and serves to deepen neigong and qi gong. Or do both sparring training, and neigong/qi gong if you are young unlike myself at this age. If you choose not to train sparring you can still have laughs practicing push hands with a good community of practitioners. Laughs because when you are pushed, pulled or lightly struck with jin it seems odd, funny in a strange way and the effect seems so much grander than the effort put into it.

[@williamcranstoun9566]

Also without learning the Jie Jin, connecting jin you can't learn and apply the others. And to learn these you need to have them done to you and to be a willing student pushing into the teacher without trying to neutralize. Same in helping to make demos like this. Martial Man is showing respect to the teaching in letting teacher's jin affect his own stance and initial force.

[@Sifu-Myers]

I know terminology may be different so is Jin the same say Jing? Or are they two different concepts?

[@williamcranstoun9566]

@@Sifu-Myers I think it depends on the character you are looking at , but I can say different than jing as in jing, qi, and shen. Although jing in this sense might be part of a foundation for applicable Jin referred to here.

[@andrewgohring7625]

@@cloudexplorer5920 It ultimately depends on age. Or at the very least, how supple you were to begin with as a child, and were able to retain it as an adult. The younger you are, the easier it is to loosen your lower spine and coccyx, while standing up. That is the principle physical requirement to do these things. Physical. Of course, Adam and company obfuscate this with verbal mysticism ("chi", "jin", etc.) To be fair, most Chinese fall for that crap too. Understanding has nothing to do with language or culture. Most people who pursue this stuff began so in their late 20's or beyond. Well after they've already lost what is required. Of course, there are some folks who otherwise maintained flexible legs and hips, and some of them were lucky enough to have (literally) stumbled into it. But make no mistake, the majority of seekers are fleeced. Chinese call this the "Iron Rice Bowl" while talking up "wu de". Talk about cynical... But to answer more directly- if you can do side and front splits at least 70%, and can drop your lower spine in horse stance without "stacking" it, you can learn this in five minutes.

If you know Tai Chi and listened carefully, you should have realised that it does not depend on the speed or the force. It is, like in all martial arts, about the timing and than doing the right thing. Best defence is, not beeing there.😀

if the only question you have after seeing this is "does this work in a cage" ....says more about you than it does about Tai Chi/jin etc. I don't get how anyone could not watch this and just respect this mans understanding , glad to see though most of the comments are giving the respect that should be due. This demo was really great

[@perrypelican9476]

I can only guess. I think It would help in the cage, but of course you need to have other skills and training. Imagine if a big strong cage fighter goes at him punching and kicking like crazy, he would have to be able to deal with that kind of attack to be able to focus. Also throwing the opponent doesn't end the fight. You still have to know submissions or knockouts or be prepared to do ground and pound and you don't want to hurt an opponent permanently. So he has to control his energy to not cause internal organ damage etc. My guess is that if you combine internal skill with external skill then you could have an unbeatable combination, but, again, you would have to train hard all the time. One lapse of concentration could get you knocked out. Make sense? Also you can always lose concentration and get a knockout punch or liver shot that would totally screw up your energy flow. Cage fighting is very dangerous and requires a well rounded training and fitness level.

[@liweng7810]

Numerous historical records and anecdotal evidence show that Yang Chengfu had great skill in push hands, but had very little combat ability. He was defeated quite easily by Wan Laisheng in the Beijing Central Park in 1926. Wan was known for his speedy footwork and rapid attacks. Many kung fu historians in China have analyzed that Yang lost due to his lack of mobility and slow reaction. Many people have speculated that Yang only inherited and passed down the long energy aspect of Taichi, and not the combat aspect of it, which is the type of short energy and light skills that Yang Luchan exhibited when he first brought Taiji to Beijing where he popularized the art.

[@cynicalnutcase4937]

Maybe lack of mobility and lack of combat experience. But good reactions and timing is essential for being good at push hands. Many says that he learned "The old style" but progressively left it completely and only taught his own "new style". The "old style" that was taught to only a few of his inside door students and through his uncles, was quite brutal, had a lot of combat drills and mostly practiced with full speed. There are quite a lot mentioned about what YCF learned, taught and occasionally showed off. (You can do a Google search for: "The Chang Interview - Chang Yiu-Chun a Student of Yang Shou-Hou". ;) )

[@brokeheartwolf3733]

Plus he was a big guy too, right?

[@liweng7810]

@@cynicalnutcase4937 Yeah, that's true. Yang Chengfu's style or what he passed down is definitely different to Yang Luchan's taiji. Weng Tonghe, an imperial tutor and a high-level government official in the Qing Dynasty witnessed a Yang Luchan fight. He described Yang Luchan as "advancing and retreating at incredible (god-like) speed, his body is agile like a monkey". This is the most credible account of Yang Luchan's display of Taiji in combat from a first-hand witness who isn't his student. It's pretty clear that Yang Chengfu doesn't possess similar abilities. The thing is, good reaction in push hands doesn't translate into good reaction in a free fight, because it's a lot easier to deal with a pushing energy which is a much slower and simpler force compared to a trained fighter throwing powerful rapid punches and kicks at you, plus you're already in contact with the opponent to listen to their movements... Anyway, I'll check out the resources you recommend :)

Very intersting. I never heard of this. I just googled it and see that Wan practiced Ziranmen which is also an internal style.

They even broke with the family.

Too bad I am not young, because I would go directly to the airport to go find him to learn real martial arts. I loved Thailand when I was there in my youth. It is a beautiful place with beautiful people. If course many of them have been corrupted by the western city life, but you can escape to the countryside and find peace, real peace. If you go there, stay away from the tourist destinations and find the quiet wonderful people who have kept their culture. Buddhism is fantastic because it isn't really a religion like the main ones of the world that have so much hate for other religions. Buddhism is about live and let live. Buddhist's don't seek out other religions to cause fighting. They live their lives in peace. Why did the dalaï lama have to hide to not be killed. Why would anyone want to kill a man who wanted nothing but peace and to be left alone to meditate and help others. Why would anyone want to kill a man of true peace. Thailand used to be a land of peace, and still is to sone extent, but if course, like most other places around the world, america has discovered its wealth and destroyed the culture for profit.

This is why such few people developed skill in the art because high level people like this dont know how to talk about it.The word passive needs to be changed to receptive.The feeling of relaxation however is emptiness void and space.This is not passive either this is the existence of non-existence.Hang up the head and sink chi to the tan tien is not something that you do it is something that is achieved when enough relaxation happens so that the internal energy can be felt.Feeling internal energy is no big deal if your in a high speed elevator that stops and you feel the ground come up ,this is a feeling of internal energy.For those who doubt - When you jump on the earth you'll get so far off the ground. If you jump on the moon you will go higher.This is because of the difference in the force of gravity. Gravity is a force which creates tension in the atmosphere. When we reduce the tension in our bodies our movements become empowered .If I recieve any positive response that is descriptive I will write the method to achieve this. It is probably not what you think it will be

@@silatguy No, I'm saying that when you reduce the tension in your body you have more power.Tension is the internal resistance.

Can we increase our magnetic field through relaxation ? I dont know. I dont have the answer to that

[@gustogusto4519]

The same qualities Sifu Liang is talking about are what Sifu Nima also mention, along with the other masters interviewed. The ability to 'let go', to have movement in stillness and stillness in movement. Sounds mystical and lofty. Seeing Nima do the demo with students where he asks everyone to hold a good Tan Sau and then asks everyone to touch their bicep and tendons in the elbow joint to feel the muscular/tendon tension. He then asks them to 'let go' of that bicep and elbow tension that is required to hold the arm in that position. That was the lightbulb moment. No one else could do it. They could all understand what was asked, it wasn't weird or mystical, but their eyes all said, 'Holy shit.... I can't turn it off!' When he got someone to touch his biceps and elbow tendons under normal conditions and again when he 'let go', the look of shock was legit. I tried it myself, no matter how ''relaxed' I felt, I just couldn't switch that muscular tension off to maintain the position. Therein lies the practice and skill. It's why CST taught that SLT with no force is the pathway. Sifu Liang is also talking about the same change in quality, that dissolving of using force and muscular force and emptying that tension out. That ability to release, regardless of what system that skill comes from, is what needs to be attained. There are many paths to it, all under many names. Just get there.

What would happen if the attacker didn't want to cooperate with the defender? Just seen belly rubbing, where are the taijin defending from boxers?

[@dbrzy8989]

He's teaching internal art not external which is why he mentioned to train in the yin/passive style before starting with yang.

[@guimecast8100]

@@dbrzy8989 I know other meanings for passive. If it is internal it does not make anything happen to the attacker if he is not willing to believe that internally the victim is winning the fight

[@dbrzy8989]

@@guimecast8100 he trained from internal and gradually becamr external. Anyways, im no expert. Best thing is to find yourself a true master of thid art and have him prove his abilities.

[@guimecast8100]

In my way of seeing things yin and yang must always be in balance.

[@guimecast8100]

Makes no sense having an attacker if the art is internal. And makes even less sense the attacker beeing passive too.

[@alexanderathanasiades5431]

Would be great to get an in-depth explanation on how jin is generated from song and the different (40) jins, because in part two sifu Liang states verbatim "It's only one Jin actually". Which is what i understood as well. Maybe it's the applications of the jin which make it feel as if it's a different expression?

[@truereality84]

I would be interested to see this style of martial arts up against fast punches to the face, UFC, etc. it would be the ultimate to see it used in real combat, up until now mostly demonstrations, which are limited in what they can show.. I imagine a future where we have a Tai Chi UFC champ lol

[@Aznbomb3r]

it would be extremely hard to use it when punches are thrown at lightning fast speeds. HOWEVER, this is very easy to use when grappled, nordwingchun has shown some demonstrations where his arm is behind is back but the much bigger person behind him still gets moved around effortlessly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWjHlodoiLWDoas

Thanks for sharing, Master LDH is already at a high-level Taichi. The Song chen jin is depend on his Neigung level. I really enjoy it. There are still a lot of good Taichi Master in Shanghai, hope you can come to visit one day.

[@jackofallmasterofnun]

So sung is everything,more sung more jin,is it a reversal of energy or a transmission of your own enegy? Is chi and muscled contraction the same force. Like as much sneeze

[@jasonboi7466]

More song (sung), more Jin is true but you need ting too and to be able to move chi through the body for it all to work. Muscle contraction is not it. Some muscles will inevitably contract as your posture changes as evidenced when Liang leans forward to push Kieron back (when Kieron is pressing on Liangs chest) but the muscles engaged are only to hold the body up and in position. The force is generated through openness in the joints/muscles/white tissues etc. Which is nigh on impossible to understand without experiencing but it happens

[@kingofaikido]

Thanks. I understand that jin is central. But I have one question and a request. He talked about 'magnitude'...or more precisely 'changing the magnitude' of the vector of force coming in. He showed various applications of jin, left, right, forward, back but the magnitude question wasn't explained, I believe. It mihht have beeb better to talk about where exactle the vectors go and describe how they are transformed. For instance, changing the attackers hand was not explained but this was the first thing you can see him doing. This is also found in aikido and it is about redirecting the attack, so you dont receive the full force...even when part of his talk was about 'receiving'. But, of course, in english the idea of redirecting seems contrary to redirecting...which we, in the wst, tend to think of as an activity and therefore an active action as opposed to passively receiving. I guess part of tue difficulty in doing and teaching taiji is that we are using unfamiliar concepts like relaxed-doing, receiving-redirecting. In our minds, we think action and reception are two separate and different things. To be honest, I didnt learn anything new in this video. The title, I thought, was a bit misleading. Finally, someone is going to show us what jin means...but no, he shows but does not tell.

[@blockmasterscott]

I've gotten to where I've trained enough years to grasp what he is doing. Yes, I understood it intellectually a long time ago, but it's only now that I'm really starting to get it, and I've found out what people have always said, it's just simple physics. It's nothing more than practicing long enough to be able to relax totally and sink your self into the ground like a cat not wanting to be picked up while disrupting the other person's standing structure.

[@StevenRayW]

What is this teacher's Yang style lineage? Just curious.

[@THEMARTIALMAN]

Yang Shao Hou lineage.

[@jacobmansfield-go9fz]

I like when he pretends to be pushed back by a magical force at 4:55.

[@FrankieBlueEyes]

It's not pretend, I've seen Luke Skywalker do the same thing.

[@terciary]

Put aside philosophy, its a pure physical trick. No harder to learn than contact juggling (which is hard and tricky by the way). But to apply it against quick unpredictable attack U need to have supercomputer in the head, calculating real time angles of optimal transformation (Hua).

[@info24-x4x]

Yang Cheng Fu s Tai Chi was developed mainly for health purposes. Remember, the chinese were called "the sick men of Asia ", at that time. So, Taijiquan was adapted to fit the people's needs. There is a great misunderstanding about Tai Chi in today's Martial Arts Community. We have got to remember that the old Tai Chi Masters from 19 and 20 Centuries did change the Art many times and held back knowledge when passing to foreigners and hid the Martial Applications. Tui Shou was intended to practice Dim Mak, to map the points, and not to exercise Hua, pushing and pulling. It's that simple. Stick and Follow means: strike the attacking limb and follow the attacker with a sudden burst of speed and power hitting the Dim Mak points or weak areas. Put the explosive-short fajing of Taiji to Wing Chun Kung Fu and you'll see what Taijiquan is like in combat. The Eli Montaigue school of Tai Chi has the closest approach to the REAL TAI CHI in my humble opinion..

[@cloudboxer]

Everardo Bueno part of the reason the were called sick was because of Britain’s push of opioids on the population.

[@info24-x4x]

Brendan Cabral. You are right. That was a sad period in the history of China when the foreigners came with drugs and the chinese corrupted officers led them in into the country. Even, Yang Cheng Fu was opium smoker. But, it is what it is. Thank you for your comment.

[@info24-x4x]

@Aston Price-Lockhart Thank you for your comment. The research, study, and practice of Chinese Kung Fu is amazing!.

[@SteveMe21685]

That is not what stick and follow means. Fajing is actually very basic in taiji No disrespect but I’ve seen Montaigue videos and it doesn’t even look like good taiji...it looks more like wing chun and I don’t see him showing any type of internal skill Just my opinion

[@emptyemptiness8372]

Earl Montague (Eli's father) claimed he was taught taijiquan in Australia by a Chinese man who in reality actually never left China and never taught any westerners, claimed to know Yang Luchan' s "form" then proceed to perform what can only be his own variation of Yang Cheng Fu's form and to have traveled to Wudang temple where the monks had apparently been "waiting for him" where they then taught him everything they knew. I am not saying he had no skill but he was basically full of shit, i certainly wouldnt say he and his surviving school after his death are the holders of real taijiquan. He was just an old hippie from the Northern rivers area of NSW Aust who learned some martial arts and was able to convince people with bs like a used car salesman. Why do i say it was not Lang Luchan's form? Because there is no record of what it looked like and there was probably no official Yang "form" then just a set of postures that could be strung together to train the pronciples. Luchan learned the principles of Chen family boxing(it was not called taijiquan then) and was an acomplished long boxer so his postures were probably closer to Chen with a long boxing influence than what we know as Yang today, this being further refined by his sons Jian Hao and Pan Hao through to Shao Hao and Cheng Fu. Cheng Fu's form being the domminant form today and the only Yang form being taight to westerners in Australia at the time Earl would have learned of taiji.
