Water Style Boxing - Liu He Ba Fa Part 1

Real Joy to Watch. At first opening of sequence seemed like Chen but after but a millisecond this view changes. Very intrigging Elegant Helen Liang painting as she goes a true master and Artist. Everything you may have heard of about this style whether in myth or elsewhere it's all true and more.

I have been training in a number of martial arts for over 20 years and have been an instructor in many of them for 15 years. Helen Liang's demonstrations in this DVD are outstanding as are all of her videos, 5 star for performance, certainly inspiration for all of us practicing these techniques. The instructional part of the DVD where each of the movements are demonstrated are done at normal speed which makes it very difficult to follow the individual movements in detail. This is made worse by some of the movements where her back is to the viewer and the full movement can't be seen. For instruction I would rate this a 3 star. Some thought needs to be given for presentation for future videos to avoid these problems. Using these videos as a supplement to classes would certainly be beneficial and rate a 4 star as a learning aid.

Very good!

Super thanks, I have a lot to practice. Shipping was quick.

There is no instruction here. No details, no posture, shape, description of movements, outside of their names.This is a demonstration video. Not good.Helen is very talented as a practitioner. There is just no instruction.

Can't get enough of her. Very well presented.

She is really impressive in her performance. The form itself is a bit on the flowery side, and the move demonstrations are pretty useless, there are far better uses for some of the moves in the form than what they show here, also the application demonstrations are pretty silly and far too stylized. If you are looking for a soft internal style just to learn for health reasons or performance more likely, it is good as any other. If you are looking to learn internal styles as a serious martial artist, I suppose it is worth looking at, but I would recommend not to waste your time and instead go find a reputable teacher of Chen taiji, or bagua/xingyi. Likely not someone who is all into doing performance stuff, the wushu stuff gets to be too flowery and too far removed from the 'martial' aspect of martial arts.

The DVD does not work and its not playing. I will need them to re-send me another one since it does not play. I will return this one back.
