Wu Style Kaimen Bajiquan Part 2 – Six Major Eight Techniques (Eng Subs)
The 7th headmaster Wu Lianzhi teaches and explains the core theory of Bajiquan, “Liu Da Kai”.
This video introduces techniques based on the core theory of “Liu Da Kai”, especially “Liu Da Kai”. In addition, the 7th headmaster Wu Lianzhi personally teaches and explains the true theory and techniques of Bajiquan, which can be considered practical techniques such as the variations and breakage of important forms.
In recent years, there have been many intense sanda (sanshou) matches, in which strong people from various schools of Chinese martial arts gather and fight directly while wearing protective gear.
On the other hand, it is said that it is difficult to utilize the unique techniques and movements based on the profound theory of Chinese martial arts in a real fight, and many of the matches unfold in a way that is reminiscent of kickboxing.
This is why many of the forms and basics of karate and Chinese martial arts are said to have a large practical gap between them and actual combat or free sparring.
All of the techniques of Bajiquan are extremely close to actual combat.
In particular, the core and fundamental theory of the “Six Great Opens” technique is known for its fearsome power once mastered.

宗家七世 呉連枝老師の八極拳PART2
指導・出演：呉連枝老師
収録時間：45分
八極拳の核心理論「六大開」を中心に
七世宗家・呉連枝老師が指導・解説。
このビデオは”六大八招”特に「六大開」の核心理論に基づく技法を紹介、更に、重要套路の変法と破法などの実戦技ともいえる八極拳の真の理論と技法を、七世宗家・呉連技老師が直接指導解説したものである。
近年、中国武術各流派の強者が集い、防具を着けて直接打ち合う激しい散打（散手）試合が盛んに行われている。
その反面、深奥な中国拳法の理論に基づく独自の技や動きを実戦の場で生かすことは難しく、キックボクシングを思わせる試合展開が多いとされる。
それが、空手や中国拳法の型や基本の多くが、実戦や自由組手に対して実際上の隔たりが大きいとされる所以である。
八極拳の全ての技は実戦との距離が極めて近い。
特にその核心であり、根本理論である“六大開”の技撃法は、一度マスターすれば、恐るべき威力を発揮することで知られている。
