Thank you for this tutorial!!!

thank you for all of these videos. hope you are doin well.

This channel is a godsend. I've been interested in Bajiquan for years but could never find good learning material for it online

Really excellent. A very common problem with the decline of Chinese martial art is the master always trying to hold something back, then when the student become the master they do the same. Eventually, due to this practice a lot of the good things about Chinese martial art is lost. Very good to see you are willing to teach this in detail so the art will not lost!!!

I’ve been burnt from my work so I haven’t been able to train much. How often do you need to train to keep benefiting?

Is this channel still being updated?

I love the application tips on the end of the video. I was thinking of ways to use cheng chui if the situation demands fighting back. Like trying to find an angle to attack the enemy on the side of his body on the ribs. Thought it was kind of risk to do it right in front of the enemy but that tips in the end show now I can go for the face right away.

@@bajiquan.online I've decided to modify my dan shi practice specially with Cheng Chui. I decided to go slow. Really slow like trickling molasses to properly get the steps right but the torque of the feet and waist for the punch itself I do in full power with the intent of damage. I also do this so my breathing is in proper coordination with the move. I seem to tire less when I do so. I'm going to do it with the other moves I practice. Another thing I noticed was I may be stomping too hard when doing huo da ding zhou that sometimes my knees hurt (although I also think it may be because I increased the time I spend on horse stance) and sometimes, like a few minutes ago before writing this, it propels me forward but I lose control I thought I was going to slip and lose balance (also the floor where I practice get smoother, shinier, and a little slippery whenever I train so this might be also the case). Should I add more time to stance training to have better stability? I have also intensified my training in line with a pledge I made to cut back bad and degenerate habits and push myself for the entirety of the month of November as other men who also pledged are currently doing as well. I've added training in a park for bigger space though this is extremely tiring due to a bigger space and doing more repetitions so I do it 2 times a month for the time being and will add more as I get fitter. I would like to also inform you, shifu, that for this month I will be trying out another martial art, a Japanese one, called Shorinji Kempo (Shaolin Quan Fa) since I can't seem to find an instructor or school for the local kickboxing style instead and I thought gaining experience with other people face to face, possibly in their sanda practice, will make me get better insight on how to use Bajiquan in actuality in the future. Also to break any ego I have literally through the fists and feet of other martial arts practitioners. I won't be doing any Bajiquan moves while in their guan as a form of respect for their shifu. Iron sharpens iron as the saying I've heard goes. I will not forsake Bajiquan training still for this art has restored and given me so much strength and vigor. Shifu, may you and your family stay safe and thank you for sharing this beautiful art.

@@bajiquan.online Thank you for that tip of lowering my stance when doing huo da ding zhou for more stability, shifu! I also can do golden rooster stance a lot longer (almost to a minute). One thing I noticed on shorinji kempo is that their shifu told me that they go in a zigzaging motion and observing them reminded me of Xiang Chui and gen ti step. They are different from karate (which came from nanquan) so they might be compatible although they do higher kicks. In a conversation with their shifu I told him I also noticed how different their power generation is by observing how they move their feet and waist specially with punching. Very different from Cheng Chui but their shifu told and demonstrated a similar technique of theirs after I showed him what cheng chui is. Other things I noticed is that they also use open hand strikes as well but using the back of the hand rather than the palm though I've only seen it the first time. They also have grappling and qin na techniques. This might be a very interesting learning experience.

@@bajiquan.online Looks like my stint on Shorinji Kempo was cut short after I had developments in my new job. I had some fun getting punched and kicked but work schedule might not permit me to do it for now. I had some insights on combat tactics while in my very short stint there. Learned some very simple yet very effective techniques that I am sure will complement Bajiquan (I forgot the names since its in Japanese but I still remember it so I'm going to stitch it together into a routine and just call it Nihon Changquan or Shorinji Kempo Changqyuan as a nickname just to not forget about it) such as their very basic 1-2 punch, their 45 degree stepping, blocking, and some kicks. I will add that to daily practice alongside bajiquan then try to do shadowboxing using both system's techniques. Then try both in boxing bag. My only problem with Kempo is their high kicks. I'm not used to that. I think I prefer Bajiquan's low kicks more. This might become a weird Sanda thing that has bajiquan techniques. Maybe one day I might use it in actual sparring. In the distant future.

Total agree with the last part. I see so many people thinking they need to stamp because they practice baji. Their feet always lose connection with the ground.. It's so important to slide with your toes over the ground and open your hip for the force to flow naturally. That way the sound of your foot will be like an earthquake in stead of some flat sound.

@@bajiquan.online I notice this a lot with baji from Taiwan. It baffles me to see them stomp the way they do. No connection with the ground so it is just flat & empty as my laoshi would always tell me. Not like the rumble of an earthquake.
