Your technique looks superb and powerful. Thank you for posting authentic Bajiquan tutorial on your channel. It is so difficult to find an instructor outside of China to teach this style. Now I feel I have something worthwhile to practice. I’ve subscribed and will join your Facebook Group. Much respect!

better rooting wouldn't be wrong. too much chi stuck around pelvic area.

Shifu. In regards to "Bao" does it help to use the stomping from Huo Da Ding Zhou to propel oneself forward and deflect simultaneously before doing whatever technique is chosen not just Xiang Loong? I love the part that you mentioned that to use the bao before moving forward is an invitation of a counter attack by the enemy.

@@bajiquan.online I think I understand the moving the body forward quickly rather than stomping now. Thrusting your back foot into the ground to propel yourself forward. I've been doing this lately while practicing on my bag. I was trying to figure out how to close the distance between me and the bag to do Cheng Chui. I remember the 1-2 punch from Shorinji Kenpo where you step forward to do a jab before following up with a heavy straight punch (with hip twist). What I did was my right hand was the lead hand and the left as the back hand and I was in 4/6 stance with my hands in the Ye Ti position (but looks more like a hybrid between Ye Ti and Shorinji Kenpo's "defensive" stance) as you recommended back then as the proper "starting position". I first took a step with my right foot (front) while simultaneously thrusting my left foot (back foot) into the ground to move forward then suddenly jerking my back hand (left) and thrusting my lead hand (right forward) all the while simultaneously twisting my hip and feet (to do horse stance). It worked by it feels like there's not much force generated. I may need to modify and improve it as practice more. I experimented it more with following it with a bianchuai kick or doing Shorinji Kenpo's number 2 or their 1-2 punch so enemy gets 2 "heavy" punches. Also on the elbow attack, your recommended way of using the Ding attack (the dodge but elbow thrust into chest with gen ti attack and possibly follow up with bian da to the groin) feels so natural to do on the bag. It's really good fun trying out the single moves on a target though.

@@bajiquan.online I did some kickboxing lately, Shifu. The basic punches and the elbow attacks are easier to learn due to Bajiquan. My instructor does Thai Boxing, one elbow attack reminds me so much of Chuan Bao Ding Zhou that I actually did that single move after doing drills with elbow attacks. Surprisingly it worked so well and naturally. Now I've been thinking of practicing Xiang Loong now after doing uppercut punch drills (the sinking down but moving diagonally and having relaxed fists will benefit both practice of this single move and using uppercuts at the same time that might help me in sparring next time). Also Xiang Loong is a bit different than uppercuts since it uses the forearm to strike. I need to practice more of the Bao move to try to either block a strike or break guards. maybe I might actually perfect that though sparring experience. Also with kickboxing there is a lot of hip movement and twisting. This might help me improve my power with Bajiquan. I also love the part that they're very understanding to anyone who does other systems since most of them, even the instructor, practices/practiced kung fu (although all of them did nanquan/local kung fu derived from nanquan. Everyone of them are not familiar with Bajiquan and found it bizarre when I mentioned that it was founded by a Hui muslim).

@@bajiquan.online Things I noticed with my cheng chui lately. You're right about not tensioning ANY part of the body. Whenever practiced this relaxed (my upper body and even my legs), the execution feels like a sudden jolt of force through my body to my fist. I think other than the regular bajiquan stretching, the muay thai training with its heavy use of hip movements to produce power helped me a bit to improve my Bajiquan practice. It's still not consistent yet. I also took a break from muay thai for now to experience other things. Also one of the students who mostly does Aikido than Muay Thai tried to break my arm by doing some Aikido qinna during a partner drill. That kind of irked me to stay a way for now. Met someone doing taolu in the park lately that I thought was Shaolin Xiao Hong Quan, turns out to be Kyokushin karate. Invited me to the dojo. Tried it last weekend, it was...interesting and weird. They have A LOT more stretches probably due to high kicks. They're 4/6 stance is WEIRD. I thought at that time was kind of "upside down" with the front foot having 60% of the weight and the back foot 40%. Saw videos of people doing Chow Gar Tong Long, a Hakka art, having the exact same stance as the karate guys. I guess karate really did come from Nanquan. Also being in constant tension while practicing the punches. Kind of the opposite of Bajiquan and Muay Thai in relaxation and stance (Baji and thai boxing essentially have the same 4/6 stance for some reason). Then again it is my first time and I plan to do more. Bajiquan is still my main art but this what I'm doing is to get insights as to how to actually use what I've learned from you through practicing other styles with partners and sparring (and actually meet people, things have been kind of lonely recently). Kind of a "warrior's pilgrimage". Youxia I think it's called in Chinese though from what I read that means "wandering vigilante". I don't plan on doing Water Margin-esque adventures. That would be illegal lol.
