THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOXING AND YIQUAN
I get asked this question a lot. Here is my answer in relation to a boxing punch and an yiquan expression of power.
You may do it better than me, you may it express it better, describe it better and can teach it better. Good. I do not call myself a Master or a great fighter but I have over 30 years’ experience and have fought in the ring and for real and suffered winning and losing and broken bones. I know how it feels to get smacked in the face and put down by a better man. I am not a paper tiger who talks theory.
Please kindly refrain from commenting and unfollow this page immediately if you:

Don’t like seeing ‘internal’ people hit things because its external
Feel any kind of force, momentum or obvious display of power is ‘external’
Are about to write a comment with the line “well I’m no expert myself but………….”
Think that years of solo exercise and forms will enable you to win a fight and defeat ‘external’ strikes
Like to write food reviews of restaurants from looking at pictures and videos of food rather than tasting the food
Feel that you know it better because you have the hidden indoor knowledge that is top secret and you are the special one
Prefer complex, vague, esoteric and difficult to grasp explanations over simplicity
If none of that applies I hope you enjoy it and can get something from it, if you can show better put it up and share it through your channels. The arts are dying from lack of real knowledge, delusion, insecurity, ego and pettiness. Be positive or move on and follow something else you prefer.

I love how the punch just gets stronger and stronger with each technique. The sound is a good indicator.

I’d say the main difference is head movement/blocking. 🙏🏻

Thanks for this clarity. Been wondering about this for a while now. I'd love to see footage of a boxing vs. Yiquan bout. Question: is that chopping cross pretty much the same as the systema cross?

Thanks. Given the adherence to boxing rules and regulations I still believe the average boxer would destroy most Yiquan guys. 1 year of amateur boxing experience with sparring wouid give a person a decent foundation, fitness level and self awareness. 1 year Yiquan how it’s mostly taught would give very little except delusion and the ability to troll and argue on social media how their master is the best. I’m not familiar with systema so couldn’t comment on that. Thanks again.

God solid Boof. 💥😉👍a cross punch, my rule of thumb is, it’s a bonus punch. A linker. It finishes. It links. Not used alone though. Isolated to demonstrate yes. Thrown by itself. Throws off the balance. That said. That’s one hell of a shot you have there. I do everything empty handed. No pads. More realistic on the forearm and hands. ☮️🤛💥☺️👍just ideas. 😉🙏

Great video, I have never seen it explained like this. One quick question: Curious to understand why internal vs. external differences aren't really important. Thanks.

@jcyiquan1359 2 жыл бұрын

It’s really just down to definitions on what is internal. Everyone has a different view from putting a label on a selection of arts to defining specific body mechanics. I have mine too. It’s become a silly meaningless comment in my eyes by non fighters and trolls who look at a person or movement and simply comment “that’s not internal”.

@@jcyiquan1359 Do you feel there are differences between internal and external arts? If so, do they make a real difference in fighting ability? I live in YUMA AZ and cannot find a Tai Chi teacher. I want to learn push hands and improve my form but find it hard on the internet/video. Thanks.

@@utubeviewing1 I don't know anyone in Yuma, but Monk Yunrou is teaching Beijing Chen style in Tucson. I actually study I Liq Chuan, and Ashe Higgs is in Tempe. Kelley Graham is in Tucson. I think some of Ashe's students are starting ILC groups in other parts of AZ. If I were to move back to the US, I'd either be going to PHX where I have family, or looking at something in SoCal between San Diego and L.A. where I could train with Ashe at least once a month. Good luck with your search 👍

@@utubeviewing1 Ashe only teaches I Liq Chuan. We do spinning hands and sticky hands. Ashe is on KZfaq under Falling Leaves Kungfu, or you can look him up at that website, or the official I Liq Chuan website. I know of a guy who probably knows some Taiji people around the Valley, but he's a little bit weird and tends to exaggerate people's level of skill. There's also Monk Yunrou in Tucson. You may know him under his birth name, Arthur Rosenfeld. He used to have a TV show about Taiji and has written several books. He does the Chen FaKe stuff, and he's a very nice guy.

According to your experience, is there a way Yiquan could deal with a crabbling attack by a wrestler or one doing BJJ? I often hear people claiming this would not be possible but I'm in doubt about that. Perhaps sometimes you could share your opinion about that. Thanks.

@jcyiquan1359 2 жыл бұрын

It’s a good and fair question. Often it will depend on the level of the practitioner, fir example dealing with a very skilled and experienced bjj or wrestler is a different proposition from someone who knows a bit and likewise with Yiquan. In Yiquan we the aim is to use whole body structure and power and also absorb and redirect the opponents energy. Of course many other martial arts claim the same such as aikido but few can demo in real time against an unrehearsed and unkind opponent. I will try to make a video soon to show my perspective on this from a grapplers attack. 👍🏻
