Fine. From my perspective...
From the get-go, you see a lack of root in his stance, you see a lack of the immoveable elbow concept. In his demonstration, you see him reaching, you see a lack of body unity, you see a lack of structural support for power (there really was no power line to follow).
Backfists?!
He is teaching the wrong applications (energy and vectors) for the pak and tan sao. His student isn't driving forward with his attacks, there is no power line...but then he IS the student of the teacher and if the teacher can't do it I wouldn't expect the student to.
Those were just the tip of the iceberg I fear.
"I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.
It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."
The reality of this type of training happen in general dojo.
That is the student will learn some moves but will not really applied it if the real situation comes up. They will fight with their innertial /intinct ability. The moves they learn might aids them a little but their fight still will be dictate by their intinctive ability.
That is very different then the professional who is well train and could disolve incoming attack with the style or stratergy/power handling one has learn.
I like this guy. He reminds me of a drill Sargent granted the body structure is not there. Maybe he's very new to wc? Plus I like this clip better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Hopg...eature=related
