He actually has incredible form. The apparent jerking is his body snapping into form when everything comes into alignment for the actual strike. This is what actually breaks bones and ruptures organs when applied properly. Also in this case the Yin is referring to Yin Fu, the man that developed this particular style of bagua zhang.
I hold numbers like that with healthy skepticism. One would just need to figure out he would have to fight one fight a day for over four years straight, and even if this was true, it does not speak of the quality of the fighters. I could go to a elementary school and rack up a pretty good win count.
All animal systems within YSB mirror each other to a degree, their dependent relationship connects all movements within the style to the essence of the I Ching. There are elements of Unicorn style within all of the animal systems. All of the elements are integrated. Unicorn is trained sometimes during their intensive workshops, check for times & availability.
Bagua strikes strike square?
What does this mean?
It’s Great system with real solid applications vs other fancy Bagua forms which I still enjoy
Unicorn is really a (somewhat misleading) translation of Qilin, as I am sure you understand.

as for the time requirements how much time and energy someone has to devote to their practice depends on their life style, do you choose to work 8 hours a day to earn a living, and spend the rest of the time relaxing? or do you work 8 hours, train your mind and body 8 hours and sleep 8 hours? we have no shortage of time, it is all how we choose to use it
That is an awesome point, and it something I have been working on personally. I would love to see what that comes out to be!
This is a very good question.
some of the best ones where in great shape the only thing you have to be careful with is not strengthening your shoulders to the point where they become stiff which is the case for most mma practitioners . these martial arts require freedom of movement in the joints. you must first get this freedom and flexibility before you put on the muscle. but how the power is generated in these martial arts is very different from mma. not knocking mma practitioners i respect both worlds.
Good sumo bad bagua
Great
We have funny ideas of what fitness is. Some "fit" fighters are actually unhealthy, and although some large people are truly unhealthy, or obese, you could likely be assured that a master martial arts practitioner is higher than the "average" person in health (even if they look alittle… full?).
I knew this practitioner and trained with him a bit when he came to our town on several occasions over a 4 or so year period….he is absolutely the real deal. I used to constantly volunteer when he wanted to demonstrate a technique, just to have so many of my assumptions constantly shattered about how powerful and skilled, -effortlessly, – a human being can be. mere talk costs nothing and takes so much away from you. meet this guy first, take some classes with him, run a real scientific experiment, then you have some direct experience about he jin bao’s practice and skill. you will be grateful if you ever meet him.
What about the yang style?
YOU MEAN VERY SLOPPY FOR A SUPPOSED MASTER…
Only really one way to test anything gwarner.
internal arts rely on structure and mass, not speed and strength, most good internal practitioners are very good and sinking/rooting their center of mass and using it to disrupt their opponents balance and structure, people who are all muscle have a very high center of gravity, carrying most of their weight in their chest and shoulders, having most of your weight in your gut helps quite a bit with the way they move and generate power
Do you have anything for the unicorn system? I can’t see anything on YouTube or the website
There are many techniques here that are similar to Combat Shuai Chiao. Thank you for sharing this video with us all!
Looks more like Cheng style – grappling, etc…
@Frederick Chu Hi there, from my (admittedly limited) experience, this bagua lineage differs from most other bagua styles and indeed, most other Yin style’s as well. You are right in that this lineage contains various subsystems which have their own fighting strategy and power generation methods. However, in terms of frame, their is nothing with the exercises in this system that necessarily makes you large. The last lineage holder Xie Peiqi was quite slight (Google him and you’ll see). 🙂

Yin style being the hard palm? What? Did they even read the book of changes? Yin is Yielding. Yang is hard. Yin uses redirection, Yang uses strikes.
you cannot twine opponent’s strong and fast attack at real fight.
2 But if you are looking for speed in fighting you could lift for 2 lean muscle groups in a day, lower weights longer for density and heaver weights slowly for a short period of time to increase strength. Running, jump rope, stretches, foot work practice that Dan Inosanto talks about in Jeet Kune Do Training Film Narrated By Bruce Lee and Dan Inosanto. But I practice tai chi, Yin style bagua is probably the heaviest thing I do. In Yin style they use swords and sabers as weight training.
feliz ano novo pra todos os youtubers e googlers, happy new year for all youtubers and googlers
他的力量是惊人的！
Very nice video. I am surprised you did not discuss the origin more — how Yin Fu created the style after studying with Master Dong Hai Chuan. Yin was amazing as a practitioner and a fighter.
The way the body is trained in ba gua the organs and tissues of the abdoman swell and enlarge giving the appearance of obesity when in fact if you were to strike a bagua practioner in the stomach you would notice it is as solid as a person who has a six pack.
it is very well-asked. i think the answers are interwoven within your question. remember there are no definite RULES. there are skinny, muscular and fat tai chi, systema and bagua masters. In external fighting styles you can also find these body types, though less frequently for the skinny and fat, possibly mainly because of competition and entertainment value.
anyhow carry on with this respectful and inquiring attitude. peace to you.
Jb is one of the most talented martial artists of our era and the elite of Chinese martial arts and super skillful no doubt, what I was amazed of with his superawareness to train a group of people and being present to the point his not even looking at you directly with his eyes (like facing you with his back) and still knowing what you are doing at the time of the intensive workshop, very strong experience tbh I will remember forever.
"yin(硬)" means "hard" in Chinese. was halfway through the video to realize that.
This guy is so deadly because he has trained all four areas of training.
As simple as your question might sound, it is quite complex. Don’t forget that body mass goes a long long ways to helping you create more power with your attacks. Which is why you always see weight divisions in most fighting sports. Granted we do not know what kind of endurance this guy has simply by seeing a larger gut on him. For all we know he could be an absolute powerhouse. Then again it can be the other way around.
@Yicheng Li You are of course right that it is fairly easy to manipulate and throw a lighter opponent. However, Jinbao has a very high-skill level, as should be evident from how he manipulates the balance of the student. There is additional footage where Jinbao demonstrates techniques with heavier students, for example: London Training Intensive 2013 – Day 7 part 2
@Kieran Filkins He is not tense as much as taut. It is a central distinction in the yang aspects of this system. It is easy to demonstrate the difference but hard to explain in writing. Simply, tautness is expansive whereas tenseness is contracting, this means that they have very different results in terms of body mechanics. I hope that makes things a bit clearer.
Man,fighting this master like fighting a tornado.
can you fight with a muay thai fighter if you win i will train all style of baguzhang
1. Some weight and strength training and cardio can be good, but you have to use good posture and not over do it. In Yin Style Bagua you use isometrics and standing postures etc. to develop all of the small muscles so that when you are doing an attack you are not just using large, learn muscle groups, you are also using an army of smaller muscles. If you are looking for fluidity in bagua, then get the circling turning and Lion sets, weight training won’t really help you much there.
and ab exercises.
That character is pronounced ying, not yin.

Wang Shujin was heavy. He fought 1500 challenge matches and never lost. He practiced a different style of Bagua. His punch would topple anybody. Hung i Hsiang was also heavy. A veteran of many street fights. I think being a little heavy is an advantage.
Really cool!!!!
I would say that, as a quick, lethal martial art, having a lot of muscle as opposed to having toned muscles would limit you. There’s no problem with training and growing your muscles, but a bodybuilder wold probably want to stay away from something such as Yin Style Bagu, or any style of Baguazhang for that matter. Boxing and kickboxing would be much more of an applicable martial art for someone like that.
does anyone know where i can learn the unicorn system? and which style focuses on techinques that mirror the 64 hexegrams?
As my son once said…blah, blah, blah, and blah.
I believe that the criticisms of the head movements are misguided. The instructor of the video is He Jinbao, the current lineage carrier of YSB (Grand Master) and I think that you can notice the head movements are only prevalent during certain movements of certain animal systems. Having studied only one of these animal systems I cannot make excuses for the other styles but the video even states the type of force varies per system. The whipping force of the Phoenix is likely the cause of this.
