I like the way that guy caught the thrust kick - very sweet!

I've never seen a low spinning sweep in any Hsing-I that I've studied, but, then again, I'm SD so what the hell do I know?
CMA are training methods, not fighting methods. Big difference.

By which I assume you mean, "the floor" or perhaps "some high velocity leather gloves."

To be perfectly clear, according to the EBM website Brent claims influence from Hsing I, Tai chi, northern kung fu, ju jitsu, san shou, qigong, and greco-roman. [Edit: almost forgot TKD & kyokushin]
But then, you know me and how i think: ie that if you can make any of it work- even if just affecting the way you move- you're still doing kung fu.
That doesn't necessarily mean doing kung fu to the exclusion to everything else.
We're human beings, not styles. As humans we need to adapt to the game we're playing.
Is someone like Randy Couture not a wrestler anymore because he throws some punches or goes for submissions?
The wrestling influences his movement, gives him a level of conditioning, as well as some good take downs.
Yes, he's striking, he's submitting, he's doing mixed martial arts, but he's still using his wrestling. Above all else he's human and he's adapting to the game he's in, using the influences of what he's trained.

Jowbacca speaks sensibly...are you sure you're on the right board?

Do you recognize any of it as Xing Yi?Originally posted by Felipe Bido

The takedowns, and the pushing look like Xingyi. The structure could look more like Xingyi, if it was closer to the body. I don't know how much rapid fire/aggressive response you can do with the gloves on, and the guys have other styles apart from Xingyi in their training. These are points to consider.
