The thing to watch out for is the reverse breathing method wich is hard to tell from video but it seemed good.
What is the reverse breathing method?
Yeah, what is the reverse breathing method? ![]()
That’s when your qi reverses direction and you breathe in when you’re supposed to breathe out. ![]()
When you breath in through the butt!!! hehehe

… and you shit out the mouth??? ![]()

Bend over and let me show you:D
Is Taoist Breathing supposed to be a heavy part of Bak Mei? Interesting.
jeez-you guys do Bak Mei and you don’t know what reverse breathing is?
ya, see…that’s the difference between collecting forms and learning Gung-Fu.
Reverse breathing, in basic terms is when you breathe in, instead of expanding the dan-tien, youstill breathe down to the dan-tien, but contract the abdominals, drawing them in, rather than out. While doing this, you draw the diaphragnm down, and the pernium (the taint) up. The body expands, yet does so evenly like a pneumatic tire. This pressurizes the internal organs-packing. It also activates the ch’i in a totally different way. It causes youto be aboe to develop the aggression as well as the power generation. Different methods of the Small Heavenly Cycle are also used for this. Basically, if it is circulated one way it is martial, the other way, it is spiritual. Different centers are activated. The upper Dan Tien is opened. Opening up the upper dan tien is dangerous and can lead to Jow Faw Yup Moor, and should only be done under guidance by a qualified Sifu, or a sick bastid on a power trip that will get you involved with Aliester Crowley.
LMAO Yeah, like you should take answers like breathing from your a$$ as serious answer TT!!! :rolleyes:
Hows your new hakka training coming along, you learn reverse breathing yet? ![]()
The forms in bak mei use both natural and reverse depending on your movements if you dont know your movements or you dont know bak mei some people just cannot tell.
Jow Faw Yup Moor?
If I am correct, you are talking about demonic/spiritual possession type stuff. lol, ironically I did start a thread about spirit boxing today. You believe that doing a breathing style incorrectly can make someone possessed TenTigers? :eek:
Yes, it can…not to mention just internal damage apparently!! I also think this depends on how twist the persons mind is already before doing the hei gung.

TT Didnt we have a discussion on possession somewhere?
That’s it! I started a poll
I’ve discovered that many more then I expected believe these sort of things. So to find out what people think, I started a poll. If you are interested, go there to post and vote.

hahahah…forget the reverse breathing,
I want to know why Zhong Luo’s Futsan Pak Mei looks so different to the other mob who make all those claims about being the one and only inheritor of the blah, blah, blah.
He looks a lot more like all the all other Pak Mei Pai, and he looks like he’d eat them alive before he had a chance to even take a breath…
Additionally, for all you reverse breathing fans, what kinds of sounds do reverse breathers make? Its hard to hide.
Besides the little prayers they recite to get the spirits of the ancestors to inhabit their bodies, (not that kind of inhabit Gazza…).
Hi Yum Cha,
Didnt the fish mongers old man have connections to CLC or HHH bak mei at one time?
The reverse breath has a anasty smell too!! ![]()
hmmm…so I guess,“Blow it out your a$$” is a Chinese expression! ![]()
Bak Mei …
Take a look at this clip:
This guy is not a famous “master” by any stretch but there’s very clear demonstration of power generation, speed, change, etc… Tun To is emphasized in this form.
Look at the tight stance, Looking the the looseness of shoulders, waist, etc. There is no big wind up motion before any strikes especially when elbowing. Above all there’s no yelling and shouting. The only stomping is during the tun ging which is a by product but not intentionally done. There is hardly any stepping forward and stomp that is seen in the other clip.
There’s a big difference between using what’s at the core (pun intended) of the art and doing aesthetically impressive movements. Good Bai Mei is always internal and even seem mundane not necessarily entertaining at all.

Hi Mantis,
Wow, Chinese YouTube!
What can you tell us about the clip? Who and where are the players from?
To me, it looks like a variation of Jik Bu, and I am the first to admit I have seen many, and it looks to be in the tight HK style with less bik bu. “San bu tan”, 3 step swallow power?
There are a few elements of his style that differ to mine, but I’ll agree, he seemed to have good breathing. He generates power with his core. There are some telltale twitches in his waist as he gears up, and it sounds right.
Thanks for the tidbit.
Garry,
I dunno about the lineage of Zhong Luo. Perhaps some of his students might chime in?
Mantis108,
Awesome… ![]()
There is a huge difference in the way this Bak Mei played compared to modern day CLC bak mei to be honest. This is tighter with flexibilty, like you said no wind up full step or half stepping then strike with single movements this has more hands less footwork?
Have you any other clips of this bak mei system i would also like to know what lineage of bak mei.
Thanks very much for sharing brother…
