His root is extremely high and he relies on student fear/cooperation for his application, hate to say it bud but any good boxer would mop the floor with him. Note how he holds his head up and BACK, any proper forward pressure/heavy attack would cause him to fall on his can. Note the fact he failed to teach any of the students a proper Shuai Chaio breakfall, that's the very first lesson he should have taught his students unless he was relying on showing off to teach. Instead they're using traditional breakfalls that endanger their health and allow him to pull those techniques off, the first time someone had used a SC breakfall he would have found himself thrown and likely suffered a broken arm in the process due to his own improper applications. |
Hey, like I said I was interested in his techniques. I also saw his weak high stance. but remember this man has developed his style to suit his movements. It is easy for us to poke at him, but perhaps not so easy to overcome him.
And there are many different people I could point out about their techniques. But like I said, the you tube is not the be all and end all of recorded kung fu Knowledge.
