Sifu Cliff Au Yeung is a really nice guy. We spent most of our trip at his school and him taking us with him to china. Very good as well.
What is SPM

interesting - I take it SPM was in the red shirt (top clip)? liked how he move more than the other guy: he seemed more integrated / connected and all that - other guy was good on his footwork / angles, but looked a little stiff in the waist

nice that they can get together like that and compare notes...

There are a few clips that show SPM vs VT.
Not my cup-of-tea, but cool to see how different systems (even close ones like SPM and VT) TRY to spar and what it ends up looking like.

thanks, i didnt even recognise it.
But I must say it looked like cliff had it all over the guy. Not sure what that little things he kept on doing like flicking his leg back. Might have had an itch or something:p

I didn't have time to watch them all, but I watched the 1st ten. I'm a little confused about who is supposed to be VT and who is supposed to be SPM. Out of the first 10 clips on that page, the only recognizable SPM technique that I saw was on clips 7 & 9. SPM typically does not do Chi Sao with the Luk Sao rolling structure that VT uses. So either there are a lot of clips of VT vs. VT, or the SPM guys have adopted some VT structure and methods.
