wujidude,
I don’t know Hong Qaun that well, But I know his Ba Gua teacher, the man knows a lot of Real information about Gong Bao Tian style of Ba Gua Zhang. Hong Qaun teacher is the real Deal in my book. I would train with Hong Qaun teacher, But right now I don’t have time.
I met Tomasz teacher for just a visit. I don’t want to say anything about his teacher. So I think you should go to Beijing and see his teacher in action yourself, that way you can form your opinion about Tomasz Yin style teacher martial skill level.
For now on I’m going to keep my opinion to myself, and stop posting on KFO because I’m not getting any knowledge exchange from anybody up here anyway.
Its a big waste of my time. From what I see up here, people want to live in a big fantasy world of internal martial arts and so -called high level internal masters.
Raf,
I don’t read much about your Style lineage, But I know a few people that practice Gong Bao Tian style. So I get my information from them.
This have not to do with the skills of your teachers or lineage. Why do you guys get so upset over someone opinion. I’m no expert on Yin Style Ba Gua Zhang, I just told you my opinion on what I don’t see in you guys Ba Gua Zhang method, thats all.
For one I can careless about form. What matters is can you utilize the Ba Gua form you are practicing in real combat. Your martial art brother Count post a statement saying:
But we do say it is dragon style Bagua. Nothing to do with palms mind you. Its dragon energy in the body.
I have to say he is dead wrong in my opinion.
First of all, from the first day a person learn Ba Gua Zhang they are learning about dragon energy in the body, what the hell you think the circle walk is all about.
You Guys sometimes make me …LOL
The palms do have a lot to do with Ba Gua Zhang, so I don;'t see how you think they don’t. unless you practice your palms with no energy, then I can see why you would say something like that.
In Ba Gua Zhang a practitioner must first master the techniques of, rise(Ch’i), Drill(Tsuan) Fall (Lo) overturn (fan) if you don’t master these few techniques. Then in my opinion you don’t know Ba Gua Zhang, you just know the outer form and book philosophy.
Anyway this is my last post, up here, I let you professional Ba Gua master teach up here for now. My knowledge is not up to you guys level.
Hong Qaun, I like to hook up with you this week, you seem cool, You have to be I know your teacher…LOL if you are free this sunday like me know. Thanks for the e-mail I learned a lot.
peace I’m out.
