Nice Xingyi
I only just discovered this one (though it’s been up for a while). Enjoy:
Looks awesome to me.
Xingyi Links and Clips
So Dennis showed up in the comments and asked for a link exchange. I’m fine with that - whether he links back here or not :) - so here is Dennis doing some xingyi:
I’m not going to say much about it but it looks pretty good to me.
Here’s the original post. The same guy also has taijimax.com for those interested in taiji.
So that is it for this particular post - it’s a bit trivial I know but you go to start somewhere. :)
Better Late Than Never?
Obviously, it has taken me a while to follow up on my promise of new posts. We’re getting there …
So far - the JKD has turned into something much more escrima oriented. This is good for me and I’m finding a lot of synergy between this and the Bagua that I was doing last year. I’m honestly quite surprised at how much in common I’m finding between the JKD/Escrima and Bagua. This is seriously good stuff - the flow in the escrima is related to what I found in bagua. In the classes I’m doing there is lots of talk of circles and angles in similar ways to what I learnt in bagua. All that said the ‘body method’ is different from Bagua so that is something different (to be fair we’re not doing a lot of technique - it’s more focussed on flow, distance and angles).
I’m also picking up some xingyi again - plus ça change - I can’t really say a lot there because it’s only just started up. In the past I’ve found xingyi to really connect with. We’ll see though - different teacher, different school so who knows? I guess xingyi + escrima is going to be kind of like bagua? Anyway, if it doesn’t work out then I’ll try something else there is lots of stuff around.
