Yiquan's Contradictive
Stretching Forces - My complete internal & external system -
Wang Yongxiang
This
video is part of
the complete package of
Wang Yongxiang materials
which includes also the
book
by the same author.
More and more Yiquan practitioners are
concerned to select most effective techniques among all those existing
while
pursing better health but especially gaining more explosive power.
Wang Yongxian’s Yiquan system may be an
alternative system to them: from developing the concept of
“stretching forces”
he presents a convincing theoretical but also practical synthesis of
Yiquan
training.
While walking through his method every
student will recognize the application oriented Yiquan method that he
created:
shorter list of synthetic Yiquan exercises but succeeding in a
comprehensive
order … very useful for any serious Yiquan
practitioner….
Many students who trained
first with Yao's system
find it very interesting
in working his six directions
testing forces especially
with his special focus of
training one’s sole.
Others are more attracted
by this idea of “first
train internal than train
external” included
in Wang's method or the
link that Wang makes with
Qi Gong through the use
of dantian
in his training.
This collection is the exclusive English
material covering his four decades of research and experience on
Yiquan.
All his works are condensed in this special
set including:
-
My complete internal & external
system – The Video: Contradictive stretching forces
* Part I - Specific warm Up

Internal and external system – Part I – Specific
warm Up & Healing Posts – (48mn
5s)
Chapter
1: General introduction and Specific warm up exercises (11mn42s)
-
Several warm up exercises: Another distinctive
point of Wang’s method is the very special warm up that he
includes in his
training program focusing on the hips, waist and shoulders. Some may
just view
them like mild exercises but experienced practitioners will find them
definitively useful to improve a “whole integrated
body”.
Chapter

lifting post, Circling lifting post, Pressing down post,

such
speed that any student can follow easily.
Yiquan
Internal and external system – Part II – Internal
and external training of contradictive
stretching and issuing forces (55mn
28s)
Chapter1:
General Introduction (20mn28s)
Wang
Yongxiang is explaining with concrete
analogies the fundamental principles underlying the very specific
forces in
Yiquan what he calls “stretching forces”. But also
how it will transform
progressively into “martial power” of an
accomplished adept.
Chapter
2: Internal training of contradictive stretching force: Rolling water
and
Forward /backward testing forces
-
In explaining “Rolling water testing
force”, Wang presents in detail not only the exercise itself
but also what he
considers as one secret technique embedded in it to develop
“rooting” which is
a prime condition for later issuing force.
- In Forward/backward testing force,
further explanation of developing stretching forces in forward/backward
as the
first step of achieving six directions forces. Here again Wang some
interesting
practical analogies to help any student to understand stretching forces.
Chapter
3: Internal training of contradictive stretching force: upward/downward
&
leftward/right ward testing forces (13mn39)
All
the details of these two
upward/downward and leftward/rightward testing forces which are
synthesizing
many other Yiquan testing forces exercises and Wang continues to
develop the lower
limbs/sole training within these exercises. At the end Wang is
presenting the
combination of the six directions testing force.
Chapter
4: External training of stretching forces (21mn21s)
Wang
presents here the further step of
training testing forces as he calls “external
aspect” with additional details
of training involving more specific mental activity for each direction
selected.
Chapter
5: Issuing force
This
chapter is most appreciated as it
deals about issuing force. Wang presents it very clearly and makes it
most
accessible than a lot of literature on this subject. He combines
finally within
one movement all internal processes, including use of dantian
and external processes presented previously.

preparation.

“I
was looking for Wang's video
since you mention it on
the web and now I am happy
to have it. Honestly speaking
the image can be better
if it comes from a DVD but
the quality is still OK
and again it is really giving
a kind of shortcut in the
training program.

I
am very impressed by your
new download links for such
large files, I got them
very fast. I believe that
Wang got it. The martial
power. Now I can visualize
it!!! It is not any magical
or any kind of strange stuff
... but practical and effective.
And what I like is that
he tries his best to explain
it on the clips. “I
was trying to issue force
on my plants before, but
now i use my belt (see the
vid you'll understand).
Good ideas on push hands.
After 6 years of shili,
the foot story is great:
now I know how to go further...”

“I
wanna say: I was first deceived
by the quality of the video
but the book and the contents
worth it finally: the warm
up and fist techniques were
the important missing chain
in my understanding of Dacheng.
Thanks to CMA to select
me to revise this material.
