It belongs to Kunlun branch of Chinese martial arts. Its guiding theory is based on Pre-heaven Eight Trigrams (Xiantian Ba Gua) created by legendary emperor Fuxi. Hence the style in its movements and fighting strategy uses the idea of Yin and Yang - combines movement with stillness, fast movements with slow ones; "slow movement is like movement of the sun and the moon, fast movement is like that of meteors"; when the hand strikes it is "like an arrow leaving the bow", the hand returns as if "the tips of fingers were burnt by fire". The style is practiced along straight lines, emphasizes power releasing, dodging, opening, moving fast; whole body is used in movement and the power has to reach toes and fingers.

Mr Gao has been practicing martial arts since the age of 6 and learnt Bagua Boxing from famous master Yang Tingbi. He is accompanied by his son Gao Yixue. This set is a rare opportunity to see a martial art that has never left its natural environment of Chinese countryside and hence has never been "polluted" by the need to make movements better looking and more flowery so that they would please more "sophisticated" city people or judges in competitions.

QP1-6

Straight Sword has always been one of the most respected weapons China, often associated with power and high social status, carried by generals, high rank officials and scholars. Sword is often referred to as "the master of one hundred weapons" and is considered one of the most difficult weapons to learn and use effectively. Qing Ping sword is one of the oldest known classical sword styles. Its name appears in texts from Han and Tang dynasties, including poems by Li Bai. Legend recorded in old sword manuals traces its origins to Tiger and Dragon Mountains (Long Hu Shan) in Jiangxi Province, one of craddles of Taoism in China, where it was created by a Taoist Pan Yuangui. Pan taught it to Men Jiaohua from Shandong, who in turn passed it to Feng Xitang. Feng in turn taught it to Yang Elin, who was the first layman - not a Taoist priest - to learn Qing Ping Sword method. Later one the sword was taught mainly among Six Harmonies and Lost Track Boxing practitioners in Hebei Province. Qing Ping Sword is divided into six routines and contains 175 recorded postures - although in fact there are often 2 or 3 postures under one name. The sets are studied from the simplest First Routine to most complex Sixth Routine. It contains 16 basic sword methods which focus on using superior technique instead of strength to defeat the opponent; the practice of Qing Ping Sword develops coordination of hands, eyes, body and footwork; the postures vary from high to very low and stress the strength of legs and waist; the footwork is agile, waist must turn at will, wrist be flexible. This set of VCDs is demonstrated by Li Junde from Cangzhou in Hebei Province (one of the most famous for martial arts places in China), member of Cangzhou Practical Fighting Association, Cangzhou Muslim Martial Arts School, inheritor of the orthodox Six Harmonies Boxing and Qing Ping Sword. Li Junde comes from a family with long MA practice tradition - his grandfather Li Shuting (Da Qiang Li Wuye - "Big Spear Fifth Grandpa Li") was famous for his skills in Six Combinations Long Spear and Qing Ping Sword and taught many disciples, including famous Wang Ziping:

The typical empty hand curriculum of most popular branches of Chen style Taijiquan coming from Chen Zhaopei (Old Frame) and Chen Fake (New Frame) includes First Set and Second Set; Small Frame includes also Long Fist Boxing which was incorporated into their curriculum quite recently - in 1970s. This set however - released by Wang Zhenhua, disciple of Chen Zhaokui - reveals a Long Fist Routine which was taught by Chen Fake's son to a few of his disciples only. The release of this material denies the common thesis that since Chen Changxing's times Chen Clan have practiced only two Sets and Long Fist Boxing has been forgotten and lost. The book contains detailed explanations and instructions of the movements of Chen Family Taiji Long Fist in 108 Postures, with special attention to Dantian rotations. It is fully illustrated with clear photos and arrows showing direction of the movements. The VCD shows demonstration of the routine shot from two angles - front and rear.
