this is the kind of sparring we really need to see more of from the traditional martial arts thank you for demonstrating how it's done

I love this. This is the most fantastic sparring video I have every seen, clear and visible hand work with excellent and innovative camera work, friendly and skillful sparring (not too soft, not too hard, not timid). The martial arts community needs more videos like this.

This video like all your other videos was amazing and educational. What a treat to see my two favorite martial styles of all time performed at such a high level by both of you. I love watching playful exchanges like this one while demonstrating excellent sportsmanship and respect towards one another. Thank you for this gift, I was enjoying watching this so much I only wish it went on a bit longer.

This should have thousands of likes

Beautifully shot, love the smiles and the great attitudes!

Please do more videos like this if you will! It's really cool and instructive to watch friendly sparring between traditional martial artists withou a ton of protective gear.

Nice. That attitude in training makes everyone better.🙏

I love the attitude you have and this friendly sparring. Enjoyed watching it. Looking forward to more videos.

Very nice exchange. Most of all mutual benefit no ego. Thanks guys.

Once you stick and take control then never leave, that's the spirit.

This was respectful, informative and just all around dope to watch. Thank you.

Nice... That was one of the best techniques comparison sparring in a tight alleyway..!! 😊👍

I love the breakdown and analysis in this video!

This guy seems to be a GREAT training partner "Egoless Exchange" as well, GREAT happening...

this is true art and i love this kind of content, this is flow state mastery.

Nice work guys!

Very good high quality sparring boys.

Love to see exchanges like this! Even friendly sparring like this can help to improve and test what you train.

Thank you both

These videos are very inspirational and I wish more martial artists were like you. You care about learning and growing, not about exerting your ego or putting someone down for their style.

Brotherhood.

Amazing!!!! (this sparring series is awesome, you'll have to find a Xingyi, or taiji guy next - that would be epic) - I have always wonder how to use bagua in a small space like an alleyway. Was really interesting to see (cos I think wing chun had the advantage in the tight area. (I wonder if after the spear hands are parried, you could 're-parry' his arms and pull his arm, with a low kick to his legs or groin - might work?)

Sweet video. Great angle. You are very fluid. Interesting contrast in styles; we don't get to see this often. Yet there are similarities. He is using Tan Sao quite well against your spear hands. It seems like his focus on center allowed him to be "there" a bit more quickly because he did not have to move as far. But you employed some interesting tactics to disrupt him. That said, his Wu hand lowers and needs to be further out to disrupt your longer attacks. He can also take advantage when your elbows flare or move high. You have a few chances to "roll" your attacks toward him or move "offline" upon contact [even in that small space]. Well done.

Very nice. I liked that you narrated and had stop and go and slo-mo. Helps a lot in breaking things down. Since there were not many attempts at grabbing/controlling an arm, I assume you just agreed to limit to strikes.

The wing chun man realy knows wing chun

This video was dope!

A kind of chi sao but with bagua vs wing chun. Really nice to see !

This was great!

the block to release wing arm at 1:00 was very nice

Probably watching this video for the 20th time

Excellent to watch! My main style is wing chun, but we practice bagua xingyi and taiji as part of our training (excellent footwork and power generation) and we spar allot with mma like gloves. Some observations: Wing chun guy is good, but lowers his Wu Sau (back hand) when he moves that makes him vulnerable for your longer rounder bagua moves (more sparring experience needed?) . On the other hand you raise you elbows high in you bagua (raising you centre of mass and leaving lower gates open as you experienced) . Wing Chun should attack them (Bong sau best, but also Pak and Fook sau work) and turn your body of centre and attack your outside. Just my experience from allot of sparring with many styles. Keep up the good work!

Great job

Real good work yaw..💯

You say that you’re not good at Bagua? Actually you’re Bagua walking is excellent. I’m impressed that you can move at an angle around a small hallway.

Beautiful

好棒的交流

This is a great exercise in hand fighting and controlling the range just before a clinch, but i dont know that sparring is the right term for it. This looks more directly applicable to stabdup grappling than to striking since very few strikes are actually being thrown

good to see traditional martial artist out there doing there thing.

This is so cool

Very cool

Inside is the way, outside is the only way.

I'd like to see more trained martial artist fight with untrained street fighters. That I think would give us a better idea of how effective a style could be. Two trained fighters can kinda cancel each other out.

Why is it impossible to do heavy sparring with bagua?

With sticking energy, push hands skills, the ability to subdue an opponent when sinking/relaxing the Qi, is a lost skill that had been a portion of many internal styles. Adam Mizner teaches how to use Qi to subdue your opponent. This skill, in the internal arts, was always the first skill taught. Standing in some pose, using the inward looking process to build the Qi structure. Sun Lu Tang, in his history portion in his books on Bagua and Xing Yi, explains the first teachings he received in Xing Yi. San Ti Shi stance training to develop internal strength, Qi. When Sun Lu Tang's internal energy was satisfactorily present, approximately one year of stance training only, then his teacher began to teach him Five Element Fist.

what song is this!

hey man, you have any more of these videos

When you practice bagua the area can be as large or small as you want. such as an open field is fully covered and a meditation cushion has plenty of room. Step on the square don't walk the circle.

我覺得也是需要護具訓練這樣比較安全

Very good video indeed, congrats! I just want to point out however that the Wing Chun guy has significatively less arm reach and that gives some advantage to the bagua guy. Wing Chun seems to have the upper hand here, as expected since the art is much better for fighting in tight environments.

extremely good kung fu!

This is so cool, my inner child is satisfied officially, doing a but of boxing and k1 kickBoxing I was always told those phony bolony kung fu guys don't know anything, Yet the thing is we all grew up with the jackie chan movies, and kung fu panda, and these ancient martial arts and now I see, Not only that they work but a bagua zhange practioner and a wing chun guy actually fighting just like the movies, My inner child is officially rewarded lol

this was in taiwan?

Always did friendly spar with real strik arts, if not hospital were the best option :) amazing... guess place its not small he will use low kicks and you too will spin and kick. You're tactic to avoid his elbows down (that guess use kind yi quan energy to push and unbalance work) awesome. And the best thing that tactics born without even think...

Be scary if one was good both styles! 😂

practice before anything else

Just move to your right 45 while your block then hit.

You could have got him quite easily. Mainstream Wing Chun techniques are impossible to work because their instructions are taught wrongly and unscientifically. Watch our videos to see how original, proper and scientific Wing Chun should be. The original Wing Chun should be solid and penetrative. It wasn't not soft like what your friend did there. You could feel that your friend's arms were distorted and the mass or weight wasn't supporting his techniques adequately. (You should feel like his strikes wouldn't really hurt you even if they had landed; and your strikes might clash through this blocks if you had tried harder.)

In real fight the wing chun man will use kick

cause yo hand's are looooooooong

Slapping each other

You're off balance a lot (give up your center line) and looks form the video as if your hips rotation isn't generating force as you switch form side to side. Your should remember power has to come form somewhere when you strike otherwise your just slapping at your opponent. Beginners at Chi-Sao and push hands always struggle with this, like I did and still do.

I went to see the Shaolin monks on stage many years ago in my town and although they were very acrobatic and flexible, I wasnt really impressed with the martial aspect of what they were demonstrating. For example their strikes and weapons had no intent to actually hit the other person, kind of like two boys playing sword fights where they just hit each others sword for effect. I was very surprised to see these guys at that level do the same thing with their weapons. This is what I am also seeing here, little intent to actually strike each other even though they are sparring. There are a few openings and opportunities presenting themselves but all I see is open palm non-threatening waving.

Sorry but this is not the real Wing Chun ... the real Wing Chun is better and really strong!
