excellent, Sun Sifu is the best cheng prsctitioner i know.

I am quite impressed. What control of all the correct angles.

THIS SHiFU IS THE GREATEST OF ALL THE BAGUA MASTERS IN CHINA!

that big tassel looks like it would get in the way of your vision, if I may be so impertinent.

That sword looks huge, is it just me being tired or is it bigger than usual? Beautiful form, anyway, I love the fluidity and circular movements of bagua, captivates me every time :)

Bagua Dao is usually about 5-6 feet in length. Internal kung fu uses oversized weapons to train strength and root. I have one that is a little over 5 feet and weighs 10-12 pounds. The sword in this video is quite a bit lighter, obviously a wushu demo blade, but the form is beautiful regardless. Check my videos for the large Jian as well. Lewitt

see how this man can distract u? hell look like hes going to make a high cut and comes low. When he turns his back to u his sword will come at u in no second. This is art. i don't do this myself but i can show my respect for this.

Always a pleasure to get advice from anonymous friends. Thankyou so much. It has completely changed my perspective. Lewitt

this is awesome. its the form i started to learn a month ago. would love a copy of it

if i had to sum up Qi in one word i would say technique. Qi is a very in depth understanding of you and your opponents actions to such a point as to b able to "see" what they are doing before they know it themselves, also to be able to root and center under the most extreme circumstances... IMHO yin baguazhang 12 yrs bagua dao 4 yrs

I'm totally with you about qi (chi) and the morals you show. Also, just as it may clarify things a bit, and because it's interesting, in china 10000 is a number used to signify 'everything', for example, t'ai chi, the combination of yin and yang, is sometimes known as 'the ten thousand things', because yin and yang represent and are present in everything

Learn this form, it is the real thing.

Qi can't really be explained to anyone. I mean what it is can be, but questions like "What does it feel like when you are in Qi flow?" or "How will I know when I am harnessing it?" are more or less "just do it" questions. As my Sifu puts it, "It's like asking what an orange taste like when you have never eaten one. If I say 'sweet', you still don't know what I am talking about. You just have to eat one to know."

I think that's part of the trick.

True enough.... Those are the stories. If my remark was misleading what is "sweeping 10,000 armies?" Comments like "crash through armor" are a bit too prosaic to be useful. Carrying a 10 pound sword makes me strong. Training based on stories of what may or may not have happened in the Qing dynasty or earlier dosn't. Lewitt

@ TaoBoxer/Lewitt The Chinese like to use poetry to describe the weapon movements, be it sword or broadsword (latter also called Dao) or spear or staff. It's obvious that you would need a bomb to send 10,000 soldiers to heaven (or hell) and a sword however big it is just won't cut it. Crashing through armour is just another poetic line just like Blue dragon emerges from the water and many others. The Chinese have a knack for making an art, an art. Martial art + Poetry = What you see here. If you are not a Chinese, you might have a bit of difficulty grasping this, but it's not entirely impossible.

ok first of all i have no clue how hard it is to do stuff like that but honestly i doesnt look very hard

Fables and fantasies. There is no magical "internal" component that suddenly makes it easier to swing a 10 pound sword. Western students tend to buy too quickly into the "Crouching Tiger Syndrome." No amount of Qigong makes it easier to use the blade. Using the blade makes it easier to use the blade. No exceptions. Lewitt

Yeah, correct Qi Gong reshape the body and strengthen it, it's not a magical thing but a reforming art.
