I dont know Bak Mei but in my opionion this master has very good moves so I wanted to share.
Kind regards,
Xian
From an internal standpoint his ging is bit on the artificial side; he is simply jerking the arms whereas the ging should be coming from opening and closing of the body, i.e., spit and swallow.
I just love the guy dead asleep at his desk!

QFT - I mean, there is like almost NO thoracic / costal / pelvic movement AT ALL - even if he’s 'internalized" his BM, there is still going to b the undulation / wave movement present; he’s 100% shoulder down, no connection to his feet to speak of…
demos
I have seen guys do demos/vids before and leave out all elements of their ging on purpose. Maybe he just does not want to give away what he does to the general population.
FWIW

This is my favorite youtube demo guy for Bak Mei…if you notice he starts at the 15 second mark it’s like a perfect 30 second HIT Interval session. A beginner would take like a minute and a half to perform that set;)
Anyone who practice Pak Mei here? it would be great if some one could describe how Pak Mei generate power.

He could be a master in disguise.

Not something my Sifu would like me discussing on a public forum, sorry Hendrik. Good Pak Mei should be rooted, fluid, and powerful, I will say that much.

Diego, here is another version (although truncated) of the set you have shown. Compare the intensity between these two sifus… that in itself will tell you something. I believe Master Chow Fook was in his 70’s when he did this set (and had a prosthesis - an artificial leg).

If you look up sup baht mor kiu you will see a few different versions of the set about.. there seems to be a number of ways that people chose to play their Bak Mei.

Understood. and Thanks.
For me, Pak Mei has its own way. So, rooted, fluid, and powerful are too general to describe it. also, Pak Mei is not Taiji and so it doesnt do those Taiji stuffs.
Not to mention lots of people doing so called Taiji using dan dien…stuffs are actually just posture which cannot generate power in reality.
The clip above, my opinion, is it is pretty good Pak Mei clip and contradict to some others I see this sifu actually is doing Pak Mei and do have the power.

Correct,
It is my understanding that a lot of how it is performed has to do with if the person was an indoor student or not, and if they learned how to use it for fighting from someone that knew how to use and teach it in that manner.
[QUOTE=Hendrik;1129549]Understood. and Thanks.

You managed to find the only other clip of Master Chow Fook on YouTube LOL!!! He certainly does have intensity!!

I think
He is a good data point, and that is when he was young.
another good data point.

see, these are not Taiji so, it is doing it differently. as for internal, is this internal?
Hello R Chow Fook is one of my Sigungs I train in Vancouver Chinatown. Hendrik one of the keys to bak mei is it takes two to five years to get good at Ying Jow which has a backstepping section which is repeated a few times. I know sam mor kun one set before YJ. When you move backward you look like you are running forward most people dont show complete BM ging on youtube. You have to sprint like a tiger pounces lol
White Eyebrow generates power with its coordinates and breathing all connected to gravity going in all directions.

Thanks Diego!
What is Ying Jow? eagle claw?
my view only, one cannot hide ging from train eyes. so even if one doesnt show it, the boundary of one’s ging can be inspect via one’s body frame or frame structure. similar to one could take a look at the architecture frame and predict is it earth quake ready…etc.
I found this video.
[QUOTE=TAO YIN;1129579]White Eyebrow generates power with its coordinates and breathing all connected to gravity going in all directions.[/QUOTE]
I disagree with connected to gravity going in all directions.
for me,
PM is using six type of tensing power core with forceful breathing. it is a linear type of power as core instead of all directions. it is a "hard " type of power instead of a “resonance” type such as Chen Taiji or White Crane from Fujian…etc.
Hendrik,
IMO, We can’t get away from gravity. It affects us every moment we breathe. If a person punches as hard as he can straight up into the air, he doesn’t fly away.
The joints of the body work in unison with the breath and core, but gravity still affects how the movement ends.
IMO, Good Bak Mei works like when you put something under pressure. Once that something is under pressure for a while, it eventually explodes in all directions and falls back to the earth.
Cheers,
