Is this real?

Not really. Pushing people over, in general, is quite easy - especially if they stand with their feet parallel and you just push them back. Obviously, some people are much more used to being pushed around, and so are not quite as easy to push over. But it can be 'real' and still be absolutely nothing that a ten year old kid with no training couldn't do to you. In this case, there is also a lot of compliance, and the static scenario is divorced from reality; it's much harder to push over a real, animated aggressor.

The second part of the video where the 'attacker' is patsy-slapping the young man who in return makes a lot of noises like a tortoise mating with a wok is just play acting. There again, maybe some people would feel a lot of pain from being patsy slapped, and sometimes the need to believe that there is an 'easy' path makes people become psychologically invested in playing along - maybe even convincing themselves that they feel something. This is what is known as an unhealthy situtation.

I'm getting a message saying the video was removed. Is it gone? I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about! :)

It says the video is private now. I guess dude saw this thread and hurried to change the setting. :rolleyes:

Hmmm... amazing the way that guy would gently touch Sergio's limp wrist and then be thrown down onto the rumpled bed screaming "Aah! aaagh!" ....I kept thinking WWBS ("What would Bawang Say").

This is just a Bastar*ized version of WCK elbow force along with some exaggeration from the chinese guy.

Pure WCK elbow force is much better

Well at least the Tai Chi guy in that clip had the manners to make up his bed. And Louden Swain didn't keep asking fo more, screaming "Aah ...Aagh".

Now, truth be known, I also did some training in a hotel room with my old sifu back in the '80s. But the only thing he raped was my wallet.

Seriously though, I've seen some clips where Sergio comes off looking pretty good, and he has put a lot of interesting info from his travels online, so seeing this was disappointing.

He did OK. It's his partner that has problem. Sometime a weak partner can make a teacher look good (teacher applies just a little force, partner will scream, flying, ...), but it can also make a teacher look bad (if people think that person is the teacher's student).
