    Great video! Choy Lay Fut sure seems like an awesome style.
    Quick question: how are those circular punches performed (0:15 in the video)? It looks like it could really hurt. Are they used in a similar fashion as in this other video? (look at 0:24)

    The technique at 0:15 is directed at the body. I typically come in with some straight shots to the head then step at a forward angle and throw the body shot. It's also good for someone who just covers up the head with both hands.

    We also do alot for other angles so you could use it like in the other vid

    I am not really familiar with most forms of gung fu, so I can not really give a real educated opinion of much of anything except my own fighting system. However, these blows look like the arm and hand are used sort of like a swung club of sorts. This does seem to be powerful, but it also, to me anyway, seems like it could be injurous to your elbow joints too at times or if the blow landed wrong. Are there many injuries during training with this style? I have always leaned way away from round punches of any sort, and especially if the arm is fully extended when striking.

    As with any strike including straight punches, you keep the elbow somewhat bent to minimize hyperextension. With proper instruction in the structure of the techniques and a little training injury is no problem.

    Just from what I seen, these blows would be difficult to block or even redirect. In the past from fighting with untrained people that did what I called windmilling, I learned that it could be difficult to deal with using my own personal techniques. Someone doing it deliberately, and in a more controlled manner, would indeed be a hard system to fight against.

    Depends on the angle I step in at and the position of theopponent but I like to aim at the ribs and the kidney area. You can also hit the solar plexis with it if you get to the side of the opponent or any target in the middle gates

    I think they need to work on their twisting and shoulder alignment for both swing and straight punches. What ideas do you teach in this regard? Some of the padwork was better in the twisting for some reason.
    They are constantly training to improve the structure of their techniques. Of the students in the video only one has more than 6 months training the other 2 have around 2-3 months. So with that said they have a firm grasp of the technique given their experience levels.

    I could not see the fists clearly on impact. Are they using that panther fist or any variation of throwing the thumb back on any of the swing punches
    The thumb should be placed at the top of the fist out of the way of the strike when delivering a kup choi. When throwing the sau choi the impact are is the forearm usually so it's not nessacary to change the formation of the fist.

    I visited the site referred to by that clip. I'd like to see some photos of the chop choi fist mentioned.
    I assume you are talking about the article on that site, that was an article featured in the 2008 july/August issue of Kung Fu Taichi magazine. The full article complete with photos can be seen there. You can purchase that issue here http://www.martialartsmart.com/kf200147.html

    Nice combinations and training.
    Thank you
