Notes on chinese martial arts. Part 5

Image
This is in reply to a question after posting previous 4 parts. Question was: "If openness and competition are such a good thing for the CMA's, why set up a separate competitive format (like Yiquan PH comps), where the level of competition will inevitably be lower than in other established formats? Why not just train for and enter judo, boxing, MMA comps etc.?" Practitioners of various CMA should think for themselves which is the way more suitable for the art which they are practicing. Do they want to practice that art in depth or do they want to switch to those modern established formats instead? I was already addressing this issue above. So some would practice a traditional art, and they would not engage in tournament testing, because their art is not suitable for this. Then because of the same reason, some would rather give up that art and switch to training for modern established competition format. And some would try to do both, training some CMA and par...

First ever Yiquan San Shou competition

Beijing 1998. A lot of people, when they see this clip think that this stuff is total shit... I just received such a private message: "I love Yiquan and I respect to master Yao Chengguang, but these two warriors are not a good example of what I would get developed yiquan. I preferd make this opinion privated, because i understand that we are yiquan brothers, so i try to not offend." Recently I wrote several posts trying to make people understand better.

Their thinking framework is kind of limited by perspectives of fighting taken from elswhere (other sports formats) or in some cases are completely illussory. Some had already chance to check their ideas of fighting against yiquan, inlcuding against Bu Yi, who is...

Notes on chinese martial arts. Part 3.

Image
This was part of disscussion in one of Facebook groups. Planned to make a proper article based on those notes, but it would take quite a work, so finally decided to publish it in original form. So with traditional chinese martial arts we have situation that even if they are very good in a way, they were created for fighting in conditions different from present day sports formats, and they are just not good for this. But this means, that basically practicing them you will not have opportunity for regular testing your skill in conditions for which they were designed, so your perception of your skill and your ideas about fighting might be illusions. Of course people might practice some of such styles, just because they like practicing it, learning it. But if you are serious about seeking the truth, you should not deceive yourself, you should understand things like: you cannot be sure about something, if you are not testing it, you cannot really understand it, until you put it in p...
