Fourth Generation Bagua Kungfu Master Talks About Chinese Kungfu - An Analysis

This awesome Bagua 八卦 master named Zhao Dayuan (赵大元) talks about the state of Chinese kungfu and gives his thoughts on where it took a side step. He also talks about sport vs self-defense. I really like his wise words and hope you enjoy my translation. I also show an example illustrating his words in action. Many who watch this channel may think that I (Jerry) dislike traditional martial arts or want to make kungfu look foolish. I absolutely enjoy traditional martial arts and want to see it prosper and adapt to the 21st century. And to people who call me an apologist, I hope you see the nuance too. Hope you guys understand where I'm coming from! Like always, leave your comments below and stay tuned for more!
