I think he is being egged on by the likes of Izzo too.

Agenda? What about the PBWT agenda of shooting down everything on this forum, then only postings clips where they chi-sau in an environment suitable to them. Or coming up with there classic street fight comments. Bottom line is Obasse got through consistently and Kev could not land one strike.
It is one thing to wax lyrical on the Interwebs and another to post videos titled 'chi sao challenge match' when it looks like the other person, kevin, was not aware it was a challenge match. I am making a guess here and only kevin and shawn can really answer. Either way, it seems that if Obasi went from the outset and stated to kevin it was to be a challenge match, then we would have seen more aggression from kevin and perhaps more of a fight rather than the purported training exercise that is chi sau.
The reason why I say agenda is becasue if you follow Obasi, Izzo, the guys from 52blocks online, you will see that they are in communication with one another and teaming up in comments sections and videos to insult other sifus and stir things up. I have no problem with people testing themselves and doing challenge matches just I think it should be done overtly and not via what seems like a set up. I am very much reminded of the recent Randy Williams affair of which Obasi was involved.
Where will you draw the line between sticky hands and free sparring?
Don't know what "PBWT" is or who "Obasse" is... but yeah, Obasi backed out of an actual fight and went the route of trying to fight through chi-sau so he had a better chance since he'd be the only one fighting in such a format.
As a result, he looked like an idiot, and a double idiot when he posted it as a "Chi Sao Challenge Match". Whether you call it chi-sau or fighting, which it was neither, he just looked like an angry spazkid trying to prove a point. The only point he proved is that he indeed has no structure and actually sucks hard.
But, Kevin knew who ‘Obasse’ was/is, and still put his toe in the water to see how warm it was. I’m sorry to say that it was only his ego that made him jump in (ego = without God + putting self in the way) which was more than likely all based on what he was told, rather than what was truly developed.
I feel that he would’ve been more of a man (not saying he isn’t) to just walk away from ‘Obasse’, after all, Kevin didn’t challenge anyone, so he had the upper hand by simply moving outside of that invitation. But he went tit for tat before he’d jump out of the water, which in the end brought more shame then respect.
Take care,
Hilarious!!!! Really, this one is the one that should have the title "PBVT sparring clip".
There is so much disconnect in this video it's hilarious.
Kevin is trying to do this:

And the only thing I'm left with after watching this has nothing to do with thinking about either guy's skill, it's "how retarded am I, trying to encourage WCK people to spar with each other" ????????
