hello again,

I thought i would post a breif description of what is occuring in these clips as some of the stuff is a little abstract maybe.

clips of me doing some hsing i

clip 1: Pi chuan

here i am attacked with 2 fast Jabs, i use pi chuans monkey wrist and heavy elbow to move/redirect the punches, crossing the second punch across the attackers body making him rotate. As i do this i kick to his groin to take his attension downwards allowing a full Pi Chuan to the temple. This is a knock out strike. The reason for rotating him is so that i am covered for from further attacks from his other arm. (much like the covering positioning you are talking about in Aikido, shaolin) Rotating him also opens up the Kidneys, liver, temple, ribs and thigh to attck.

clip 2: Beng chuan

Paul begins to punch, before the punch gathers any momentum i move in on him, again at a 45 degree angle to his body to cover the second punch. He begins to read my movement out of his punching line and the punch slows and he begins to reposition. At this point i faint a pi chuan to the face to raise his attension for an instant and then attack just below the armpit, i continue my movement past him, as is taught in Hsing I when considering multiple opponents.

clip 3:trap.

as soon as paul begins his attacking movement i begin to present the back of my palm to his lower field of vision, causeing an instinctive reaction of the non punching hand to become his focus as a cover. this change of focus takes power and speed off his attack. following the movement i raise my elbow for a soft deflection to the side. The vertical forarm also covers my centre line. after redirecting i fold at the elbow, trapping his other striking arm while hitting his collar bone, again this impact makes him rotate out of the trap causing his temple to be open for another heavy pi chuan. Again a knock out in real time.

the ba gua clips - these are prabably the least easy to understand in a real combative sense.

clip 1: throw

Here i give a commited punch at pauls face. as the attack comes in he deflects and counters simultaniously with a strike across my body, and my lower bicep. I stop this however and paul follows my block to the outside of me, rotating around me as the centre and connecting with his forearm to the side of my head just below the ear. This of course at full power would seriously stun the opponent. he then continues to take my balance and throw me down. Note that i am not just falling, but trying to maintain some balance. and yet i am still thrown.

Clip 2: blending

Here paul weaves his upper body off the line of my attack - but leaves his fist and lower body behind, I perceive a threat to my groin - again instinctive, and also try to stop this with a block, both meet with nothing and this causes my balance to fall forward. paul circles behind me taking all of my follow up attacks away and covering from other attackers, catching my fall with one arm to lead me around, again, blocking the path of other attackers. His other arm follows and connects at the base of my skull behind the ear. again this would seriously stun and would be a very heavy unseen strike with a similar effect to a sucker punch. He then releases as would be the case in a multiple attacker situation, when he would want to strike fast and hard and then move to the next attacker while throwing the guy he struck into other opponents thus blocking their path to him.

Clip 3: elbow.

Here paul rotates to the outside of my attck for a quick strike to the base of the spine with the elbow tip. he continues his rotation again considering multiple opponents. This fast rotation make your main vunerable areas very hard to hit.

I think i got most of what was going on there, this is the reason i slowed the clips, as sometimes its hard to see what principles and natural reactions are at work when done at any sort of natural or normal speed.

anyways

cheers
Chris
