Was wondering if anyone knew the meaning behind the characters of this kick so I can get a deeper meaning on what it’s for. I get that it’s for attacking the shin, but I wanted to see if it can be used for more, and I’m looking for some hints in the name.

In this video, the instructor discusses this kick as being used to hit multiple people at the same time. Upon initially trying it, it didn’t feel very powerful, and the argument that it is supposed to hit 2 people at once is hard to believe.

Does anyone have tips on generating power and potential uses for this kick?

Haven't seen any exchanges between these two martial arts at all. Curious to know who ya'll think would win. Lethwei rules because it's the closest thing to a real street fight.

For the stances described in this video:

4-6 Bow Slope Horse Resting Golden rooster Drop

When would I be in these stances or variants of these stances in a fight? I have my own theories but I wanted to hear what you all thought.

He looks quite solid and relaxed at the same time.

How many lineages are there for Bajiquan? What are the differences exactly between them?

Where can I learn more?

Following a convo in another thread over on r/ kungfu, I figured it's worth opening up some chat!

What have you been taught/observed with regard to this? Usage? Application? Training?

Any insights you can share? Or differences/similarities you've noticed between lineages and/or even martial arts.

Let's get some technique talk going

For those looking to see how Kaimen Bajiquan curriculum is like, this is the (probably) official channel of the school.

I've seen a video of this Japanese man, Miyahira Tamotsu from the channel, Kuro-obi world, and Kokoro from Dead or Alive. Baji Quan looks pretty interesting to me. And a new movie, named Twilight of Warriors: Walled In, the character, Cyclone played by Louis Koo seems to use Baji Quan too, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm from Malaysia, and from this subreddit's map of Baji Quan, the closest one to me is Taiwan. That's 3000 kilometers or 2000 miles.

I want to delve a little bit into Baji Quan to see if I like it, are there any Baji Quan tutorials online? Preferably forms to start with. How many forms are there? I've heard there's the Small Frame, Big frame and many more. What are the concept for these forms and it's uses? What's the distribution of force in your front and back legs?

I know learning Baji Quan online is not exactly realistic, but I just want to try out the forms to see if I like it or not.

I recently started my martial arts journey with Kendo, and I'm practicing Muay Thai at the moment. After some research into different Kung Fu styles, I thought I may pick this up after I do Muay Thai long enough. Are there any schools at least within the state?

What is their relationship? I heard they were originally trained together and that Baji is like the closer range part of the system and Pigua’s moved are a bit “longer” in that they are done from slightly more range? Is this true?

Would a practitioner of both by default be better all round fighter (all other things being equal of course, although I know how many confounding variables that covers)

Is there a point to learning just one or the other if they weee originally part of the same?

Video in question: https://youtu.be/bKewGuvQkM4?si=c1dQnWyprIq-kWi-

I know that the title says "Changlong Bajiquan", which translates to "Long dragon Baji", but which lineage of Bajiquan is this? I cannot fund anything online about this Changlong style. And it looks very different from the schools that are listed on Bajipedia, for example.

I really like the circular hand movements in the video, would love to find more information on that.

Seaman here, so I travel a lot and can not go to a proper gym. Nevertheless I am very seriously trying to learn Baji from videos and other info I can find online.

I have spent about six months trying to learn Xiao Ja and Da Baji from videos, but at a certain point I decided to dig a little bit deeper into the basics.

Since many Bajy styles use Jingang Bashi (with different techniques in between styles) as a training method I sifted through the info available and picked the Baji Association's version of JB as my reference since their version of Jingang Bashi has the most correlating techniques when comparing to other styles.

I spent the last two months doing nothing except Cheng Chui 200 times per day every day, gotten pretty confident about it and now want to move to the next move, which is Chuan Zhang.

What really bothers me is the fact that the other six moves in JB are pretty different and have different uses, but Cheng Chui and Chuan Zhang seem pretty similar, they are basically two versions of a power jab - with a fist and palm respectfully.

I am a little bit bothered by the fact that if JB is by definition is the eight most important moves in the style, then why the two moves out of eight are so similar? What is the point?

From the videos of Lu Baochun and other teachers I can find online, I can see that the fist i. Cheng Chui comes from the hip, and the palm in Chuan Zhang - from shoulder height, so I can kinda look at thesetwo moves as different variant of the same thing: one is a straight punch coming from below, the other is a straight punch (palm strike) coming from above the opponent's arm.

I can also see that in all variants of Cheng Chui the retracting hand moves to the hip, but in Chuan Zhang some schools move the retracting hand to shoulder height.

What is the difference in these techniques? What is the purpose behind them in the training process?
