Yi Quan Training Method And Combat Applications - Kung Fu Report

Today we will talk about the training method for Yi Quan. We did a video on Power Generation before and today we will expand on those concepts. Yi Quan allows you to drop techniques and structure, meaning you will get freedom of movement and freedom from relying on specific structures.

Shout out to Chris for taking a couple pretty hard shots for the student audience! Take care, Chris!

[@pedrozavarize6309]

Poor Chris really seemed to feel the blows in this one Guy is a legend for always coming back for more, that's some real trust that have to exist between the two

[@renegadefunkman]

@@aidenfisher5679 Thanks for your observations, you are very smart

[@AR-qn9mq]

You would know better than Chris. He was only there getting hit. You, on the other hand, were not so I'll take your word over his.

[@0darksimon0]

thank you. this is really awesome that you share such interesting kung fun with us who mostly came here only for WC. this is really eye opening and I hope you keep making about different Kung Fu systems also.

[@EdwardMccutchen-dj7fo]

I still need to see-it,in modern Jackie Chan,Movies? I go way back,to martial arts theater movies in the80's!

[@brucebooker2227]

Nice explanation of training progression. Thank you

[@redrain4477]

First time I have listened to you and you are a great communicator .

[@JKDVIPER]

Great work guys.

[@cardiyred]

I don't know much about martial arts, but the Yi Quan you showed me was the coolest compared to the other videos I've ever seen. To be honest, other Yi Quan videos seem to be floundering their arms strangely when viewed by strangers. Your punch looks really elastic, so I want you to upload another Yi Quan video. The sentence can be weird because it's a translator.

[@felipevaccaro6615]

every video i learn more .... fantastic

[@jimwrightkaiser5226]

Excellent explanation! Thank you.

[@jjones7837]

Thanks for this. I think I stumbled upon this engine after years training and experimenting in WC, Filipino Arts and Yang/Chen Taiji. I remember the first time a I met GM Cheuk Fung in the SF Bay at a class and was introduced to the idea of "No form". Now that I'm older it's interesting that my fighting style has changed more into what you were showing here. Many paths to the Truth! Thanks again.

[@alswedgin9274]

Fascinating!

[@RamiTsunami]

Wow..Tnx.. S'i fu Adam fo Very good explanation and info I like your work...and your student for D help and realized Application on D Drills and consept... 🙏🏼😌

[@peteg2035]

That was fantastic.

[@ansu423]

What a great video! I couldn't help but correlate Posting and Movement to Yoga, specifically the Mountain Pose and the Warrior Series. Yoga has tremendously improved my Martial Arts Training (Japanese Art), but the focus has been more on alignment, structure and breathing- incorporating the heaviness/bouyancy of the "Ball" and "Spirals" which Adam speaks never occurred to me. Making this simple addition to my perception as I practice will change a lot in how I cultivate the relationship of my body to both itself and my mind (Yoga). Thank you!

[@JKDVIPER]

That was cool.

[@DLTRN1369]

Truly wonderful. I am looking for a genuinely authentic training program on how to fight your student who don’t bother resisting. Thank you.

[@fabioschneider5970]

DYLAN !!!! lol. (Forgot to take your meds, bro?)

[@brianlee360]

Nice

[@AR-qn9mq]

I'd really like to thank Chris for this episode. Poor lad. Ouch.

[@Menyhard]

Nice sir

[@vincentrose9114]

This is wicked cool. Yiquan has a fascinating approach it seems like it cultivates an ability to use your body logically and powerfully throughout the chaos of a fight and in any trajectory. I could see how this approach would be very effective for self defense because it helps you train to flow with the randomness and respond physically. There does not seem to really be one particular 'weapon' in this style its like the whole body is used to strike/attack or block/neutralize, and this opens up a boatload possibilities. Also Ive recently started trying out some basic standing practices (zhan zhuang) and I swear that it is like magic. When I do even just a few minutes of it I feel more grounded physically and mentally and it seems to cultivate a relaxed strength, like you can control your body with less effort. Cheers from Boston

[@flykyrt81]

@3:05 onwards. Sorry, I don't know if these were covered in a previous Kung Fu Report. Could you elaborate on the qualities to develop and retain from post training? Compression going up, spine curving, spirals in the torso, legs, hands etc.

[@winghosamLeung-ff3bu]

speed and power is relied on relaxation song.

[@williambreazeal387]

These comments are only from the Yiquan lineage I’m familiar with, not the lineage Adam has trained in. So the teachings in Adam’s lineage could explain any of the differences I’m noting below. In a number of actions, Adam raises his shoulders inside and outside. In the lineage I know, when the outside of the shoulder goes up, the inside (down the back) comes down. Adam’s neck is coordinated differently than in the lineage I’m familiar with. In that lineage, the coordination of the low back and neck are harmonized to facilitate expression of piquan and the accompanying rising leg kick. I’m also used to seeing a wider range of kua motion and more frequent use of kou bai stepping and inward and outward closing and chopping actions. That last part could just be an application preference.

[@garypring7204]

Hi great video with post training would you say that bow stance or horse stance are a type of post training or are they classed as a different type of training???

[@raksh9]

All static stance training in kung fu can be considered a form of post training. The internal arts like yiquan have specific stances and progressions, along with guidelines for posture, breathing and relaxation. Taiji has standing meditation, as does Xingyi - look into postures like Holding The Ball and San Ti, respectively.

[@EazyMac]

Not having access to a proper, qualified Yiquan teacher, this video has been very educational. I've practiced Zhan Zhuang for a bit but often get discouraged because I can't see its connection to combat other than the whole-body unity and weight which comes from relaxation, or its place in the progression. I see the "war dance", often, but was not aware that one of the goals (I assume there are many more) is to maintain the same feeling which is practiced/experienced in the standing stake/hugging posture. Thank you so much for this incredibly informative video!!

[@AR-qn9mq]

Same here. Been doing it without this level of understanding for a good while. Very inspiring

[@michaelblack9458]

Wu yi no mind is what my sifu called it in jkd and shing yi and wing chun

[@markhatfield5621]

Similar concepts in Russian Systema.

[@carlosjhonnson2273]

todas estas tecnicas son imposibles de aplicar si no se entrena con presión verdadera, solo pierden el tiempo

[@relzamektdt]

How tall are you?

[@andrewblack7852]

None of that is whole body, the arms never leave the body. That’s just mixing some striking concept with conceptual aspects of yiquan. Frankenquan. Yiquan is feeling state. Intent. Not external Kung fu.

[@trondyne3513]

No more Wing Chun?

[@seppetoni7874]

it's not segregated you can mold it into your wing chun

Dear Teacher Adam and Teacher Chris. I really value the generous sharing of your martial arts Studies. However, I just read the history of Yiquan, and it entirely contradicts the anti-Communist fascist propaganda that you so often spout like a crazy reactionary when you lose your calm. Please learn about history. There were more Chinese martial artists who sided with the Chinese Communist national liberation struggle, than sided with the fascist Blue Shirt Kuomintang (funded by the proto-nazi's - The USA to this very day). For eg, do you even know who trained Ho Chi Minh in Taiji Quan? You don't even know the history of Yiquan. You've been around fascists, clearly.
