Whenever a sifu does something so unreal it looks fake, can you ask him to do it on you rather than on his disciple, please?

After watching this a while and and watchng it again today, it's become clearer to me that this is what O-Sensei was doing, but not any of his students except maybe Tohei and Gozo Shioda and probably only parts of it... O-Sensei did go to China for some time where he may have learned this... at around 16:00 it seems that from boxing range you don't "need" to apply jin because the boxer is not really in a dangerous range, you can just step back and be safe and run, but in any range where the attacker could be in a dangerous range the fa jin would happen, according to what he is saying, of course he's leaving 99% of it out because he's not allowed to tell people about it... in this aspect the fa jin may just be a natural form of self defense that is latent in us because maybe we are at a lower stage in civilizational development, during the "Golden Ages" maybe everyone was walking around with a full dan tien and if you attacked them you would just bounce off from the natural fa jin... my Aikido teacher who studied a lot of different martial arts including Tai Chi once put his chi into me and I was totally relaxed and unmovable, he couldn't move me and he didn't say anything but he was like "see, that's how it feels..." that's how it is, total relaxation but unmovable. There are other aspects of this that I've felt in Aikido from different teachers, like being stuck... but the Aikido masters don't think of it in that way, they are just doing "that" technique and it works because you get stuck to them. I wish they would just give all the secrets, but I guess it might be too dangerous to the practitioner to do that since you get get the chi moving in the wrong way and harm yourself or even kill yourself accidentally without a good teacher.

Great to hear the positive feedback! Thank you

he has a lot of good lines!

You are totally brainwashed if you are impressed by this.

Jeffrey Ring thank you for your feedback. Happy to hear you enjoyed it.

People used to say that about Tim Cartmell, too.

How many practitioners have you seen? Or do you mean best on KZfaq? It's very hard to judge watching a video. Most people buy things based on how good the advertising is, not how good the product actually is. To decide which martial art to study, you have to meet your potential teachers, not base it on how cool they look in videos.

Mike Martello I think may have been at a higher level before he died. By western do you mean non-Asian people, as in race, or do you mean out of people living in the west? Because if you are referring to people who live in the west, then I would say Zhang Yun in the USA and Guan Nan Wang in South Africa are way higher. Especially Zhang Yun.

Hi George, great to hear your history in martial arts and thank you for your positive feedback.

Where can I find a good Kung Fu, Tai Chi (Taijiquan), Chi Gong (Qigong) DICTIONARY? "How would you define" (how do you write? : tzung (release), pung, ching, fajin najin, jin, QA, li force (abone force), ??? www.quora.com/unanswered/Where-can-I-find-a-good-Kung-Fu-Tai-Chi-Taijiquan-Chi-Gong-Qigong-DICTIONARY-How-would-you-define-how-do-you-write-tzung-release-pung-ching-fajin-najin-jin-QA-li-force-abone-force

if you've been studying for over 40 years and teaching for 20 then surely you'd know the answer to your question. having said that as far as my understanding goes, it wouldn't be possible to attain such a high level if he wasn't retaining seminal fluid..

Adrian Brice This Adam Mizner guy is just about the worst possible person to ask for definitions of these terms. He doesn’t even get Chi right or understand that Ji is not Chi lol he’s legit horrible. He thinks football and Taiji can’t be done simultaneously and that’s straight up stupid.

steve brindle With all due respect, you have been mislead and misguided. Adam Mizner doesn’t even know the basic definitions of words like Chi and he doesn’t seem to know that Ji is a different word than Chi. In practice, Mizner tosses his students around using Fa Jin but if you listen to the words he uses to instruct, it’s all incorrect. He says you can’t be a weightlifter and do Taiji. He could not be less correct or more incorrect. The advice he’s giving you is bad. He says you don’t even have a Dantian until you practice Chi Kung. He’s wrong, everybody has Dantian lol that’s like saying I don’t have lungs or a heart. He’s a moron. Do you know the difference between the word Ji and the word Chi/Qi?? If so you know more than Mizner LOL

Michael Fraser Hi Michael I'm happy to hear that you have benefited from the video. Our aim is to share the knowledge with everyone.

@Someone who know how to Taiji is more about striking than grappling, actually.

@@Livingtree32 no its not lol.

@@arbogast4950 Yes, like 99% of Northern Chinese martial arts. It does have some grappling to it, but the main goal is to finish with a strike.

Thats actually not what he said at all. What he said was if you try to stick to a boxers quick jabs and strikes it wont work. What you have to do is be so much more released than the boxer that you create a set of conditions whereby the boxer becomes stuck to you. Pay attention!

​@@Livingtree32 Don't get misconstrued, he wasn't talking about grappleling. It was about releasing the Chi, when making contact.

Bruce knew that. Be like water my friend 🙌🙏

Thanks for listening

Glad you enjoyed it

I think these are very detailed perspectives. Basic knowledge is passed on here. But you are already in the senior idea. Adapting and dealing with the incoming forces is a very important element and you are absolutely right. It's hard to go into this in depth in a video. There are always several paths and perspectives that lead to the same goal without violating the foundation.

You're welcome!

You're welcome!

What's real tai chi?

We all think that until we meet someone able to produce superhuman levels of force. xD

@@inspiringothers7197 Yeah right, superhuman..... That kind of proves the point

@@Livingtree32 Us westerners call it superhuman force because it is so much more than we have been taught our muscles can generate. Nor does it look real because of how convinced we are due to western culture that this isnt possible. Though we see animals do it all the time. It’s not actually superhuman, it’s actually more accurately the exact same force type that animals default to using. Animals are many times more powerful than humans due to the state their brains are wired in, hence why mental cultivation is of the utmost importance in martial arts that are aiming for this force. If you weren’t aware, humans are animals as well and we have the same force output available to us as any other animal, so long as the conditions are met for the force were aiming for, hence all the training aimed at slower movements, and pushing hands as these are two awesome tools to show you where you still have yet to correctly release your structure, muscles, tissues etc, when you can achieve full body release through your entire being, you will have met the conditions required for using the force Adam is displaying. It’s not really that hard to understand how and why its working when you feel force from someone who hasn’t fucked around and trained correctly for many years, what is hard, is believing it, especially when its in front of your eyes happening to you for the first time. Same force Bruce Lee was learning through wing chun, he never mastered it and liked using muscle power alongside it, but anyone with the brain to recognise it will see how fast he could move, and how much power he could get out of muscular usage combined with this mental state. Most people cant seem to add things up apparently. Ah well, experience trumps everything, so you will never technically be wrong in your opinions if it lays outside of your experience and cant fit into the parameters of logic for you. But the moment you experience something of this nature your opinion would likely change. (depends who you meet though and how good/released they are). I will say however, if you do meet someone who claims they can do this and you feel them using pushing/pulling/grabbing forces on you, then they cannot do this in the slightest. You will not be able to detect the person moving no matter how you grab them resist them etc. If you ever feel this force from someone that is how you will know they are using released tensegrity. (this force is commonly felt off of babies fyi) I will leave it there, do with the information what you will, your path is yours to walk alone, I hope it takes you to the top my friend. Good luck and be well! :)

Yes, notice that when he pushed Krieger, the effect was quite different (around 10:06) That appeared like a normal push. When he pushed his own students, it appears like something supernatural was going on.

@@inspiringothers7197 I will be bet he will never denonstraight this against a boxer or bjj fighter. This is all bullshit.

Glad you liked it

shawn6669 Happy to hear that :)

16:08 not relax, release

Yes, I see it exactly the same as you and have had the same experience. Relaxation is the key along with proper body mechanics using physics. Internal forces are the forces that cannot be seen. You could call it chi but I think it's mechanics and physics! It is good skill. Tai Chi Masters have a strong structure, even a judoka can only bring a Tai Chi master down with great difficulty. I have seen that. I have learned a few Wing Chun systems but only a few use the correct physics and mechanics when standing or the Sifu can do it but doesn't teach it! As an example, Shui Shon Tin taught all of this as a basic element, but he wasn't the only one. It is taught and said in Wing Chun: Bad Siu Nim Tau /Sil Lim Tao...bad Wing Chun/Ving Tsun but which technique is most trained in the first form? The fook Sau, the yat ji kuen, the sau kuen? No the yi ji kim jeung ma... ergo, bad stance, bad Wing Chun and bad stance, bad Kung Fu or bad martial arts. The art to stand right! (Joke: Not flying dragon Kung Fu lol) If you can't stand properly, you don't need to start running and he can have the most perfect movements in chi sao or anywhere else...everything "stands" or falls with the stance, the Yi kim jeung ma in wing chun!! In other martial arts with their stances. Sorry, that was too long.

Absolutely it's called hypnotic compliance, the student would report adams qi made him weak, Adam would smugly admit it was his qi, to a judoka this is just hypnosis, mind tricks that cult leaders use.

Holy shit dude... Walk into literally any grappling gym in Jersey..

True but it is still achieveble with muh practice

@@firman3c377 No doubt. And I need much practice.

True, my understanding had improved greatly since filming this first interview.

@@THEMARTIALMAN Seeing your journey is inspiring and encouraging!

The founder of Bagua only seriously trained students who already had a strong foundation in another art, which was almost guaranteed to be a hard style every time. Plenty of other arts mix switch between hard and soft, like Northern mantis

it's more about your brain cells coordinating what you do with body. simply put, you can't have external martial arts instincts butting in, when sequencing taichi movements. if you can achieve this distinction, yes you can or should be able to operate both external and internal. it's a matter of getting to what internal art is about, hence the focus, and exclusion of external art influences to internal art beginning point at least. thereupon you can practice both internal and external art properly. and if you can't developed both concurrently..... find one you like and further it. suit yourself.

@MyChina 1950 Epic bullshit is Epic.

Yes! I've just discovered a lot of Frantzis' material. I would love to see that.

Lol. Against an actual fighter he wouldn’t last three seconds. Wake up and smell da bullshido.

Some things you have to earn over many years of study and practice, not from a youtube video or two. I think it's great that brawlers call sophisticated energy manipulation techniques 'bullshido.' Good luck to them. They can stay in their kennels like good dogs.

I don't think he said you won't be develop qi, but that you won't be able to move well with it.

No. It's a MAGIC yoga ball.

ashe higgs VERY GOOD SYNOPSIS

The words don't matter; body is the same world over. All internals are built/exist from the same base. I think the nitpicking is going into semantics.

I’d say it’s both, cultivating something natural that you never used before in a way you’re not used to doing, is in turn both natural & unnatural at the same time.

I think it's both natural and unnatural as Randolph says. You can make an argument "against nature" from the Dao De Jing itself. The alchemical way is the "Opus Contra Naturam"- a central tenet of Daoism is "reversal": Dao De Jing 40: 反者道之動；弱者道之用 Reversal is the movement of the Dao; Its function lies in Weakness.

words

building mass counterproductive to coordination of sequencing. it's like dumping a rock(mass) onto middle of road. the nice thing about taichi, is it actually strengthens your body as well. so the road thickens and widens. and you can still drive through the road.

Best thing to do is to sit on your sofa in the wuchi position for 3 hours a day. Don't move at all and train the chi to flow through your meridans to when a mugger attacks you he will fly away when you express your jin

we touched much off camera ;)

Yes I felt Sifu Adams power off camera and can confirm his skill, none of the interview was pre planned or staged.

u know what..interal aspects of kung fu are unreal after experiencing them.

It is obviously staged. And they'll say, "If you don't believe it, spend $1,000 and come to one of my seminars. " They are con artists.
