Convergence again…
Here’s a very interesting clip that I found late last night, posted by Cyberkwoon – whose martial arts forum I think I first joined in 2001/02 – before I moved to Singapore, anyway!
It’s Fu style bagua, discussed and demonstrated by a master from Chin Woo in Hong Kong. I’ve discussed Fu style a lot here, since I first saw it demonstrated at Chin Woo Singapore’s anniversary show (by a different master from the Hong Kong branch). This form is different to the Dragon form I linked to before, and is much closer to what I was shown by the guys I met last Friday.
Unfortunately, I don’t speak Cantonese at all, so I don’t understand anything that’s said in this clip. The applications speak for themselves, though – before seeing this, I confess I had wondered how Fu style moves would be applied. Now I now…
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
Too alien to me! Ahahahah
I mean, too used to the traditional style of the circle walking and stuff. His footwork was strange, his moves seemed to me that would stop, and not keep going. But I was fooled. And he crosses his hands a lot, doesn’t he?
Must know more about it. I feel like Ripley.
It feels familiar, but its too strange for me.
Hehehehe that’s pretty much how I felt when I first saw it on stage at Chin Woo – “This is bagua? Wtf?” – but then I also got fascinated and started to research more about Fu style. Heh: bagua is limitless
