He stopped teaching E-CHuan?


   By Tom on Friday, June 14, 2002 - 12:17 pm: Edit Post

The late Kenny Gong had a good reputation in xingyi. Just curious, though, David . . . how did he study with "3.5 Xing-I teachers"? There's half a teacher in there somewhere. ;)

Hidden Palm:

It's a little complicated. It's not that Teacher has stopped teaching E-Chuan. If you've studied long enough with him, I am sure you are familiar with his method of constant modification and upgrading. At the moment, he has separated his Ba Gua from his Xingyi classes and has suspended his E-Chuan classes. Xingyi has taken the place of E-Chuan nights. There are a few of us that are taking both Ba Gua and Xingyi simultaneously as some prefer specializing in one or the other. His Xingyi, from what teacher says, has improved these past five years and this is what he is teaching now.

Tom,

I'd like to answer you but I won't since it was David you were asking. :)

Hey Tim,

Can I call, you give me some pointers, and then list you as my teacher?

No wait, you have given me pointers here on the web, can I list you as my 0.5 teacher?

Sorry, the devil in me... ;)

Bob

Now that the mystery of the .5 teacher is cleared up, I have another question; is E-Chuan like E-Mail or is it a new way to romanize Yiquan or I-chuan?

Kungfused in San Chung. Oh, and I know how it is to be the .5; like all nuclear families in the 1950's my parents had 2.5 children....I was the .5 one. My brothers never let me forget it.

take care,
Brian

" The "E" in E-Chuan stands for "Change" as in the I-Ching"

Isn't Djimbe the guy that was punked out by the straightblast guys one of his students?

Marco, How old are you? You say you know Wang Zhuang Fei? He's been dead for a while, so how do you know him. Oh, and as far as names of schools, a name is a name. Your school's name is the national institute of bagua, does that mean that your style is the national institute style?


   By Martin Ash on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 03:33 pm: Edit Post

Ciao Marco,

Do you know if Wang Hanzhi is still living in Singapore or if he moved back to Shanghai?


   By Martin Ash on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 03:37 pm: Edit Post

David - who was the half? ;-)

Also- do you know anything of Wang Hanzhi's whereabouts/contact details?


   By gasmaster (Unregistered Guest) on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 03:56 pm: Edit Post

Last I heard about Wang Hanzhi he was living in malaysia, I was told he gave up teaching Bagua because he could make more money as a fortune teller. Would love to know if he was teaching again.


   By marco caruso on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 06:27 pm: Edit Post

gasmaster, i said i know Wang Zhuang Fei, no i met Wang Zhuang Fei! If someone ask you "do you no Yin Fu?" you say that you had not this pleasure? in any case he left us about 6 years ago! my master Zhang Du Gan studied BaGua with him and his son Wang Han Zhi, so i know Wang Zhuang Fei;this i mean. he is like my Great Granfather.
About Wang Han Zhi i know he's in malaysia too;but maybe he doesn't teach.


   By marco caruso on Tuesday, February 01, 2005 - 06:53 pm: Edit Post

ah, gasmaster i've forgave somethings;
Istituto Nazionale Di Bagua is an ASSOCIATION,while Imperial Bagua is the name of the stile for Gong Zhong Xiang!!!;he write:"This style of Bagua was created by Dong Haichuan of Kaishan..., Imperial Baguaquan is still virtually unknown to...Imperial Baguaquan has blossomed out into numerous styles, perhaps the best known being Xingyi Bagua.
"(www.imperial-bagua.com/version2/index.html)

Have you read it before to write?

I want to reaffirm that i'm not against Gong Zhong Xiang,because i don't Know him;
Also if in his site he've "forgiven" the real successor of G.M. Wang Zhuang Fei : Wang Han Zhi!!!
(it's grave)


   By gasmaster (Unregistered Guest) on Wednesday, February 02, 2005 - 12:30 pm: Edit Post

Hey marco, On the first post, I see that it's just the way you wrote the post because english is not your first language. I would have written I know of wang Zhuang fei. Anyway, I appologize.

On the second post, Imperial baguaquan is meant to be the name of the school, so I can see the confusion. It's not written very well, and can give the reader a false impression IMO. Gong Zhang Xiang doesn't speak english, so the website was put together with translation. None the less, Your teacher, and Gong Zhong xiang are probably the last two people teaching this style, so instead of trying to seperate the two schools in a "my school's more authentic than yours" debate, You should try to contact each other, and share. Again this is just my opinion. Hope all is good with you-Gas


   By marco caruso on Wednesday, February 02, 2005 - 05:23 pm: Edit Post

ok, ok,i'm sorry too.
How do you Know about Wang Zhuang Fei and Wang Han Zhi?
Who tell you about? my mail is physica66@hotmail.com; you can contact me


   By yong yang (Unregistered Guest) on Friday, February 04, 2005 - 12:49 pm: Edit Post

Master Gong is one of the very last disciples. Mr Wang Han Zi is no longer teaching. unless someone would provide enough financial incentive for him. there are still some other students of Master Wang in china who are teaching this GongTing Bagua. I would really like to stay in touch with this lineage and with all the practitioners who share the passion of preserving the chinese traditional arts. I am a student of Master Gong in US, and currently live in china. so you guys can contact me anytime via emails, if you have any questions.
