I see your point now. Things like this are hard to tell just by watching a clip. But ya. i'm not offering any advice, only saying what comes to mind. anyway, i agree - i don't think one can move around that easily either. i'm just saying that based on the video, you're a big guy. How would i know whether you're using structure, skill or simply strength to get the outcome you want? also, what if the guy is bigger and taller than you? do you still maintain a certain distance? what if that's his ideal distance? etc. again, thinking out loud. no egos here, right? it's just a forum
back to the original topic.. regarding different flavors of chi-sao based on origin, again you can contrast the chi sao (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuzIT...eature=related) with that of the emin clip above. (this is no measure of fight skill or whatnot, just discussing the appearance, flow, strength, control, etc within the different types of chi-sao itself based on its "ancestry" so to say...)

i was surprised when i went to hong kong the difference in attitude not all but most seemed to have an ' well im chinese so i dont have to train hard.' still some good guys there but most seemed to thinked they were better because they were chinese. I was always taught by barry its not the style that counts the most it the amount me training done.

True dat- but there are WC folks I know- Chinese and non Chinese who train hard every day.
In Ip Man's days there were some who trained very hard and others who just came to some classes.
