why do you think its better? better than which?
Guy definitely likes to strike a pose.
Here's one I like because it was completely random with control. But then again they're both my students.

In your opinion why ? Just out of curiousity
I think its ok, but nothing special. I prefer to see more mixing it up from both participants in a Gor Sau style way...free chi sau.
This just seems to be one guy showing some techs with a compliant partner
No denying its better than a hell of a lot of related clips on youtube though...
As far as my impression of skill and ability of them being able to translate it to fighting, i prefer the clips Phil Put up, its more spontaneous and competing milling, aka Sticky hands training
Solely my opinion mind you
EDIT - ok i saw the other half of the clip my computer is slow today...and yeah some good stuff more spontaneous after the two in black go at it...
I like that part...

Their bong sao/lop sao looks very rigid. I like the intensity he puts into his punches, but he seems to focus more on the toppings - what happens after you create the opening - rather than creating the openings themselves.
I'm not against Chi sao "demos". They're nice to see once and a while. But it's not hard to look good with a cooperating partner. I prefer watching clips where both people are trying to pull something off. There's nothing wrong with getting tagged by your chi sao partner. You learn to close your openings. That way and you stay sharp.
Some "random" chi sao clips:

Thats a fair call... id expect those elbows to be good and solid if he threw them for real with a bit of agro behind them..
Pie Jarn can hurt but i love Karp Jarn even more as my own habbit action is heavier and sharper for Karp !
I love elbows, which is why Pat Smith was one of my favorite fighters in the early days of UFC...lol
As far as good clips on the net for me they have to be spontaneous and competitive like the one Ronin commented on that phil posted...
Id like to see more of that same guy in your clip doing more free style stuff...
any other clips you've got....?

Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
He's certainly big and fast, but I thought he looked pretty rigid in that first video too. Isn't Gary Lam his teacher? His hands are at the other end of the scale, much softer.
