This DVD no9 is the final part for the Fist training according of Yao's method of Yiquan. Completing first the Pads training exposed in DVDno8, Yao is presenting then the Yiquan Sandbag training. This is another innovation from traditional internal martial arts methods which his father Yao Zhongxun implemented while designing a scientific approach in training Yiquan. But again this is introduced at an advanced level and its respects all previous levels principles.
Speed, power, timing and now impact resistance are all submitted to a higher level of request and therefore there are are perfect exercises to gain greater efficiency in combat.

*) Impact training: issuing force as part of a complete interaction with an opponent. It should be completed with the constraints of the inertia of an opponent's body including the immediate effect on your fist/wrist after punching.   whth whole body has now to be performed  in the extreme dynamic situation of running. The impact exercises are focused on major fist techniques to be trained progressively with the fastest  footwork.

Do not make the mistake to go for a real fight without experiencing Impact training (Sandbag punching) or you may regret it. How would you experience the penetrative power of a fist, if not during impact training?
Yao's advices will provide you the necessary backgound to benefit from this advanced training set.
