the sticky hand following hands thing is really going too far, star trek meets disco. When is martial and art just art and no martial ?

That's Keith Kernspecht's group.

At several points each is waving their arms in the air without touching either
maybe the cobra thing is to hypnotize you with snakey hands then induce you into a trance like dance , whereby your filmed doing star trek disco dancing and blackmailed forever after ? okay maybe not
To be fair if she stood in front of me doing those kind of hip movements I most certainly wouldn't be trying to hit her My missus might do though

It seems to me not only is this not VT, it probably is not good martial arts mechanics. Asian martial arts have a characteristic of coordinating the hands and legs using the body as a connector. These 2 practitioners looked irritatingly disjointed in their movements. And I am wondering why they do chi sao like that since Keith Kernchecht is from Leung Ting tree. In LT's videos he clearly does not show this form of chi sao.
In this clip, what will happen if your opponet grabs on your wrist or elbow joint?
You may not like to grab on your opponent's wrist or elbow joint (offense), but you can't prevent your opponent from doing that to you (defense). Is that part of training missing (both offense and defense)?
The wrist and elbow grabbing (how to grab, and how to break grip) are not trained enough in Taiji push hand. It's also not trained enough in WC sticky hand either.
Why?

Re the first clip again: The slightest bit of downward pressure would ruin them.

Although I can't say I do this, I can understand the drill under some assumptions:
That it is a drill and the purpose is simply to get the entire body moving using fairly exaggerated movements to get the knees, hips, etc moving. Its about waking up those joints in an extreme fashion using sticking hands as the basis of the drill. I would hope its not about technical or standard chi sao training.
It should also help the student learn to move and use the entire body for every move (although subtl) instead of typical wing chun stiff and flailing chain punches.
There seems to be a trend to train entire body movement into wt....it looks very weird but just as others judge wc and think regular chi sao is "lame" I think we should see what we can take from this and not judge right away.
