Morning bullshit

[u/Miao_Yin8964]

[u/SadSaltyDuck]

Why this is here? It requires flexibility and good independent hand coordination, seems like a good exercise

[u/Relative_Target6003 → u/SadSaltyDuck]

It is. It just looks silly so people dump on it.

[u/VRserialKiller → u/Relative_Target6003]

I wonder of this is the dudes back yard? If it is, it is pretty cool and peaceful looking.

[u/AgitatedStranger9698 → u/VRserialKiller]

Dudes wealthy for sure.

[u/LiftEatGrappleShoot → u/SadSaltyDuck]

I was thinking that looks like a relaxing way to start the day in a cool setting.

[u/wiilbehung → u/SadSaltyDuck]

Especially if you can do it with eyes closed.

[u/Substantial_Owl2562 → u/SadSaltyDuck]

Seems like performative cringe BS to me, but YMMV I guess 💁‍♂️

[u/AdAdministrative3056 → u/SadSaltyDuck]

My guess is the type of person who does this also practices mostly silly unpractical martial arts. It definitely looks like something those no touch guys would do to make themselves seem spiritual and whatnot

[u/petabomb → u/AdAdministrative3056]

Next you’re gonna say Yoga has no health benefits

[u/Consistent-Stock6872 → u/SadSaltyDuck]

Poor execution. There is very little water inside and he is still spilling it. Because of his low skill it looks goofy as F so it is here.

[u/IcyGarage5767 → u/Consistent-Stock6872]

Yeah maybe if I was 12 I would find this cringe.

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/SadSaltyDuck]

That's great and all, but baguazhang is supposed to be a martial art. What is the martial application of this?

It's like practising juggling or riding a unicycle - has benefits, but not for fighting.

[u/Panik_attak → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

Not everything is for combat dude. no one looks at a boxer doing jump rope and goes "how is that going to help you in a fight"

You act like fighters just spend 8 hours a day punching bags and nothing else.

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/Panik_attak]

False equivalence .

Jump rope is very good cardio, and cardio is empirically, demonstrably beneficial. Balancing cups and walking in circles isn't.

[u/Jacket_Leather → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

So coordination isn’t huh?

[u/Panik_attak → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

This improves balance and flexibility? Both are exercises, they have different benefits but benefits none the less. Your argument is weak

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/Panik_attak]

Have a bagua dude spar against a pressure-tested method like boxing or bjj and watch them get lit up like christmas.

TCMAs are weak.

[u/Panik_attak → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

Bagua is like literally 1/3rd of ONE branch of the kung fu umbrella. Its not a full martial art.

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/Panik_attak]

Yeah, it's pretty useless, thanks for being honest.

[u/Nejrasc → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

Actual martial arts also builds character. Something many lack.

[u/BardGotHard3 → u/Nejrasc]

Boxing builds character, if you count traumatic brain injuries that cause personality changes

[u/Deweymaverick → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

So you’re asking what’s the point of mobility exercises for fighters?

What’s point of flexibility for fighters?

What’s the point of low impact days for fighters?

…. Just to check in, do you actually practice martial arts? Because these are basic questions.

[u/Deweymaverick → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

And nooow you’re the one rocking false equivalency, great job.

[u/CousinDerylHickson → u/Panik_attak]

But then isnt it just art if it lacks the "martial" aspect? Like ya juggling and stuff improves coordination, but that doesnt mean they do so in a way that greatly benefits martial capability. Not saying this isnt cool or impressive, but it seems more art than martial to me.

I mean it might benefit it a bit, but jump rope at least is cardio and it at least builds muscles used to better punch someone. Here though I am not sure how this helps martial capability, besides I think some small improvements to balance, cardio, and flexibility. However even these seem more geared towards improving non-combat functionality given the slow almost static nature of the movement. Not saying it isnt cool or artsy, it just seems like its not nearly the most efficient way at improving fighting skills.

[u/RollerDude347 → u/CousinDerylHickson]

No, what you're describing is just Martial. This is as much a part of martial arts as taking care of your brushes is a part of painting.

[u/FIMD_ → u/RollerDude347]

This is more art as in like interpretive dance

[u/CousinDerylHickson → u/RollerDude347]

How? Like i dont see how these movements translate to anything martial tbh, although I guess thats subjective.

[u/Cattle13ruiser → u/CousinDerylHickson]

Martial, like in Mars, the Roman god of war which the term derive from?

Or being part of a martial art system?

Every martial arts have exercises which have no direct combat applications. They help in a second hand way. Boxers running and jumping ropes, judokas doing tumbles, karatekas and kung fu practitioners doing kata, wrestlers doing a lot of acrobatics etc.

The one on the video require good coordination as both handals are doing different moves and also balance bowls of water, not spilling them while moving requires practice. To me it seems like a nice and simple way to develope balance, coordination and a bit ambidexterity.

[u/CousinDerylHickson → u/Cattle13ruiser]

I mean martial in the sense of relating to fighting in some way.

And ya but this is balance, coordination, and ambidexterity done at a slow pace. The other things build muscles and/or train things to be better used at a much more dynamic pace. Im sorry, but personally i dont see how slowly balancing water significantly helps develop the usages of these skills in a more fast paced dynamic manner, a pace which I think most combat takes place in.

[u/Cattle13ruiser → u/CousinDerylHickson]

Speed comes with practicing things doing them the right way.

He may be doing it slow, but that's because he is not good enough.

Everyone who have mastered a craft (martial or not) can look coordinated, dexterous and 'natural'. In the beginning everyone looks clumsy.

Try imitating his movement, record yourself, compare - you will be even slower.

Training balance and proprioception as well as coordination is base for any sport. This obviously helps with that.

[u/CousinDerylHickson → u/Cattle13ruiser]

Im not saying it isnt impressive, nor am i saying it has absolute 0 benefits for other things.

But personally, i dont see this as being a benefit. I am sure he is better than this than me, id probably get really wet. But i still dont think this helps in performing dynamic high speed oftentimes explosive movements used I think in almost all fights. Like its good exercise, good art I think, but to me its like saying walking will help you to better sprint. I mean sure in some ways it will, but when compared to other exercises id say its almost nil benefit.

[u/RollerDude347 → u/CousinDerylHickson]

You have to walk before you can run. This is also a good way to practice without it being to hard on your joints.

But this also plugs some holes in kata type training. Now not only are you used to having balance, your used to tracking where your off hand is.

[u/CousinDerylHickson → u/RollerDude347]

Well I think thats a good analogy. To me this is like saying if you walk around for a while it will help you sprint faster. Like sure walking helps sprinting in some aspects, but next to other exercises the benefits id imagine are next to nil if you are trying to train your sprint better.

Like not saying it isnt impressive, not saying it isnt good art, and not saying there is absolutely 0 carryover to fighting skills, but training in a wholly different slower mode of operation than the more dynamic and oftentimes explosive movements used in most fights I think doesnt help fighting as much as a lot of other exercises.

[u/Common-Respond2367 → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

Lmao highly doubt you know much about fighting if you think mobility, balance, and coordination have no application in fighting

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/Common-Respond2367]

I propose an experiment.

Have an untrained person spend a year learning striking, takedowns and grappling against non-compliant partners.

Have another untrained person of similar stature do a year of bagua.

Watch the former utterly demolish the latter.

[u/LaserGuyDanceSystem → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

A more enlightening experiment would be to take 2 people of equal size and strength, teach them both the same style of boxing, but have one of them train balance, mobility and coordination; the other one doesn't.

Then see how they do against eachother.

Otherwise you aren't testing the value of this type of training exercise, you are just testing one martial art against one fighting sport.

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/LaserGuyDanceSystem]

one martial art against one fighting sport

Lol, go watch Xu Xiaodong use a "fighting sport" against a "martial art".

Dude isn't particularly skilled, yet bulldozes them every time.

[u/Common-Respond2367 → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

What a very dumb response to what we’re talking about here lmao

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/Common-Respond2367]

Show me evidence of a bagua practitioner being effective against a resistant opponent.

I'll wait.

[u/Samsquanch-01 → u/Common-Respond2367]

Cool let's see this guy fight a boxer. Wonder how it will go.

[u/Common-Respond2367 → u/Samsquanch-01]

So we’re gonna just act like I called dude a world class fighter instead of calling someone out for acting as if mobility and balance training were the same as the dip shits we see “knocking people out” by playing patty cake with their back fat

[u/Samsquanch-01 → u/Common-Respond2367]

So boxers are dipshits knocking people out? Cause they definitely don't train for balance and eye/hand coordination, just in a way that help their trade. Instead of whatever the fuck the guy in the video is doing...

[u/Common-Respond2367 → u/Samsquanch-01]

Lmfao boxers don’t train balance and coordination!? 😆🤣 way to out yourself bud, why are you even trying to give your input when you don’t even have experience in the things we’re talking about

[u/Common-Respond2367 → u/Common-Respond2367]

Lmao which is why you blocked me 🤣

[u/Samsquanch-01 → u/Common-Respond2367]

I never said they didn't. You're reading it wrong buddy....you made reference that boxers are dipshits just knocking people out....

[u/mess_of_limbs → u/Samsquanch-01]

You're reading it wrong friend. They didn't say boxers are just dipshits knocking people out.

[u/MimiagaYT → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

Dont forget the "art" in martial arts. The can be intrinsic value in self reflection, discipline, or enlightenment. Not every aspect of a martial art needs to be useful in a fight.

Iaido is practiced pretty much souly as kata. No one walks around with a sword expecting to quickdraw it as a form of self defense. Doesn't mean its any less legitimate.

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/MimiagaYT]

TCMAs are a joke. Show me any actual evidence of bagua being effective at self-defence or combat.

[u/MimiagaYT → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

I... I just said... did you not read where I said it doesn't have to? Are you dumb? If you're dumb its okay, I don't blame you. Its not your fault.

[u/dingsh-lowcone → u/MimiagaYT]

No bro unless you are training to become an efficient killing machine, it’s not martial arts bro. there’s nothing martial arts has to offer but violence, and if your training cant beat my training in a hypothetical scenario, then you wasted your time /s

[u/MimiagaYT → u/dingsh-lowcone]

This is why they need to introduce glocks into mma

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/MimiagaYT]

Show me the evidence. Until then it's bullshido.

[u/Panik_attak → u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

Patrick Barry, Cung le

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980 → u/Panik_attak]

Who and who?

[u/lucaskywalker]

I imagine it is quite hard to makes these movements without spilling the water in those cups. Seems like that would actually help his balance am mobility like he claims. Is everything we don't understand bullshido now?!

[u/naturalharmonic → u/lucaskywalker]

Thank you. I don't think this guy is planning on tea-cupping anyone to death or purporting himself to be a master of Tea Kwan Do or anything. This is for mobility and flexibility and enjoying the morning weather.

[u/Sc00tzy → u/naturalharmonic]

Tea Kwan Do 😂

[u/mvanvrancken → u/naturalharmonic]

No he’s just a master of Gong Fu

[u/CalicoCrony → u/lucaskywalker]

The teacup is a great shoulder mobility exercise when done properly. This guy is doing it properly for the most part despite how fruity he looks lol. My main critique is he should be attempting to lift the cup towards the center of his back when the cup is behind him.

[u/Zealousideal_Bet_248 → u/lucaskywalker]

See, you can't use it to punch someone's teeth in, so we don't like it. Uga uga

[u/joeker7669 → u/lucaskywalker]

Right. It’s probably a balance and spatial awareness practice thing. I think it’s pretty cool even if it isn’t.

[u/Archibald_80 → u/lucaskywalker]

Yeah exactly, this actually looks like a great warmup.

[u/Moonshinin4Me → u/lucaskywalker]

Pretty much.

[u/it_will → u/lucaskywalker]

It’s also a cultural dance in the Philippines. Not sure if this is even about fighting or whatever

[u/lucaskywalker → u/it_will]

I don't think the person taking the video says it was, he said mobility. But I can see how balance and flexibility can help you fight better.

[u/ospfpacket → u/lucaskywalker]

Or water bongs

[u/tumbleytumbleweed → u/lucaskywalker]

He did spill all the water. Look at the ground, it’s wet as hell.

[u/lucaskywalker → u/tumbleytumbleweed]

I did not say he was doing it well, only that the exercise is legit. Do we make fun of a fat guy on a treadmill here too?

[u/i-like--whales → u/lucaskywalker]

I'm pretty sure just doing some basic yoga would be more beneficial though.

[u/lucaskywalker → u/i-like--whales]

My point is he is not claiming this is some magic martial arts technique, it's just balance and flexibility. So NOT bullshido.

[u/i-like--whales → u/lucaskywalker]

Yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. Just saying yoga would be MORE beneficial than this.

[u/lucaskywalker → u/i-like--whales]

Probably. I just don't love people making fun of this guy for exercising!

[u/Security-fish → u/lucaskywalker]

Cups are mostly empty

[u/Myriad_Apocalypse → u/Security-fish]

Coincidentally, just like your head

[u/Security-fish → u/Myriad_Apocalypse]

On must remove all thoughts to embrace true enlightenment.

Also, you seem cranky. Hope your day gets better.

[u/Zealousideal_Bet_248 → u/Security-fish]

Dude, you got a pretty good burn. Best move is to acknowledge it and move on. Can't comeback from that

[u/Security-fish → u/Zealousideal_Bet_248]

If I needed a comeback I'd scrape it off your mom.

[u/Zealousideal_Bet_248 → u/Security-fish]

See. That's a good one too

[u/Security-fish → u/Zealousideal_Bet_248]

It honestly felt like you activated a trapcard I've had waiting since middle school.

[u/Zealousideal_Bet_248 → u/Security-fish]

And now you understand. The other person wasn't cranky. They just saw a chance and took it. Like they said, light jab

[u/Zealousideal_Bet_248 → u/Security-fish]

My mom died a few months ago though lol

[u/Myriad_Apocalypse → u/Security-fish]

It was just a light jab, no crankiness

My day is going just fine for an everage thursday in the final days here at the end of the world, but I guess it could always get better

[u/Security-fish → u/Myriad_Apocalypse]

This implies your natural state is to insult someone as a go to responds.

[u/Myriad_Apocalypse → u/Security-fish]

Yeah, right, and I'm the cranky one here, yeah?

[u/LaserGuyDanceSystem → u/Security-fish]

So he has room for improvement

[u/tumbleytumbleweed → u/Security-fish]

Yeah. Look at the ground. He spilled all the water.

[u/AdventurousQuail36]

Oh. Is this posted by the ban dodger account that really, really hates u/eight_directions_ for totally insane reasons?

[u/kaminobaka]

I don't feel like this belongs here. But I've said that about a lot of things I've seen on here recently.

[u/DoctorStumppuppet → u/kaminobaka]

Some people think the only important part of martial arts is striking and grappling techniques, ignoring the spiritual/mental and physical health aspects of martial arts. Bullshido is wrong and problematic in multiple ways, but it's important to be discerning as to what is and isn't bullshido

[u/Sure_Initial8498]

Idk man, this doesn't look too bad.

[u/MadeInTheUniverse]

I see old people in their 80's doing tai chi and looking very mobile. In the mean time i have friends in their mid 30s who have joint complaints so this isnt bullshido for me

These are baguazhang drills, not sure why this is in a mcdojo sub

[u/GetFuct819]

At least he’s not charging people for the knowledge of the pole dance or whatever the hell this is (or not to my knowledge). He’s just being eccentric by himself which I’m totally fine with.

[u/unwitting_hungarian → u/GetFuct819]

Yeah, the variety of videos he's published make it clear it's not really Mc-anything, just TMA-style practice

[u/GetFuct819 → u/unwitting_hungarian]

What’s TMA? Tucking My Aardvark?

[u/unwitting_hungarian → u/GetFuct819]

yes

[u/wildjabali]

Probably a great exercise for your rotator cuff. Rotator cuff injuries are no joke

[u/epicnaenae17 → u/wildjabali]

I tore mine playing hockey as a 14-15 year old. Couldn’t move my arm from the shoulder for a month due to the pain. Then when the pain went away, I didnt have the physical strength in my arm to raise my arm above shoulder height, super weird feeling to be so weak you cant move a basic body part.

[u/LookIWashedForSu]

This is a great way to maintain joint and nerve health. It has similar benefits to yoga. You’ll notice that many elite soldiers in Tier one units do yoga to maintain flexibility and fine motor control these days. It came to light when a few of them were seen doing contortionist levels of positioning while sniping off a simulated house roof during a competition. They do everything it takes to gain the advantage. They won of course.

I dunno man looks like the real deal to me

[u/Zealousideal_Bet_248]

I feel like a lot of people in the martial arts community seem to have the idea that if something doesn't let you hurt people, then it's useless to you. There are plenty of other reasons someone would engage in this practice

[u/Soultampered]

is this not tai chi?

[u/Miao_Yin8964 → u/Soultampered]

It's top notch Knot martial arts

[u/EL-HEARTH]

This is actually a healthy exersize. A working martial art technique? Probably not, but definetly good to train coordination and balance

[u/aware4ever]

Imagine having a beautiful place like that to meditate and do yoga exercise etc. What a beautiful place. That reminds me of Karate Kid when he goes to miyagi's house

[u/Miao_Yin8964 → u/aware4ever]

It's cultural appropriation, at best.

At worst.... it's hypnotic like watching a lava lamp

This would do exactly as its claiming. Increase mobility. No bullshido detected.

[u/Lymetme]

This attitude is the same reason I stopped going on bullshido 20y ago. It becomes a cult of mostly fat losers who don't even train. There is no bullshido here. The apparent claim is that this is a mobility exercise. It like like a mobility exercise. What is the problem?

[u/Dynamo_Ham]

It would help the optics a lot of the dude lost the manbun

[u/unwitting_hungarian → u/Shevyshev]

Exactly...my buddy lost 50kgs and can do 20 pull-ups, but he still has the handles. I tell him not to worry about it but he would never post a shirtless video online

[u/Krokovski → u/Otherwise-Good8342]

No, the cute man bun

[u/BobbyBsBestie → u/Otherwise-Good8342]

To be fair, they don't fully go away after weight loss, so he could've actually put in the work to get fitter and shouldn't be knocked for that. Otherwise this man is a fool.
