Excellent demonstration of applying the same principles in various contexts. This is what makes principles valuable. The principles are simpler than the sum of their applications and if you understand them you can apply them in many different situations. Efficient informational processing.

Simple et pragmatique. J'adore! 👌🏾

Nice little video. Thanks.

Yes, though we do not as much as I'd like. Still, there will be more soon.

Greetings from sunny Thailand, Ed!

cheers Ed!

Good stuff! :)

"How did he die?" "Circle"

This could easily fit in a Taiji lesson as well. If you labelled this as "Real uses of Taiji circular dynamics", I would have believed that too. 😂 (speaking as a Taiji practitioner). I've always suspected bagua and Taiji to have a common root, which has somehow been lost to history, before the emergence of the "officially recognised" beginnings of both systems. Their cultural bases and the ways they work overlap so much. Where they perhaps diverged was that in Bagua the circles are more emphasized, whereas in Taiji the circles are made subtler, but still present. And then both systems absorbed different stuff from their environments due to being finally systematized in different places.

Yes, you can analyse Taiji via the same circles, -evident in cloud hands and brush knee for example. Taiji and Bagua may have the same origins, though there is no evidence. I think it's more likely to be a case of coming from a similar cultural root, shared mechanics because the domain of use is the same. There have been exchanges between them in the past 150 years too which has led to more similarity. The 'modern' Wudang movement tends to claim these arts have a common origin even though there is no evidence of them having been practiced around Wudang before the 20th Century.

Nice 👍

nice (but too fast & messy for a demo)

You can kill people with the real stuff!

Not always about fighting. Sometimes it's simply studying the physiology of your partner to develop skills that CAN apply to self defense. You'll also see this heavily in Muay Thai among other traditional arts. Allows the training to go deeper than just fighting.
