Traditional Chinese Martial Arts
A ‘quicky’ including good videos of Xingiquan, Karate x Wing Chun and MMA (I am sliding this last one in quietly and hoping you won’t notice that it is not Traditional Chinese Martial Arts!)
The way of the warrior
In this podcast there was a reminder of the wonderful 1983 BBC series - The Way of the Warrior - which has been uploaded to YouTube.
I watched this series with my father, but can’t say I remember the individual programmes. He bought the book that accompanied the series and I am currently looking for a copy.
The quality of the video compared to modern standards is shocking! Nevertheless, there is so much there worth learning, you just have to push through.
Xing Yi - Five Element Fists
Xing Yi Quan is classified as one of the internal styles of Chinese martial arts. The name of the art translates approximately to "Form-Intention Fist", or "Shape-Will Fist".
