As my teacher told me that year they wanted to promote Wang Xian's school. They only allowed Wang's son and a few of his students plus a few non-fighters from outside of Chen village. The fights between the people of their own school were fake but about this one I'm not sure. Even for a fake fight it's too sloppy. It's either fake or probably the guy just hasn't fought before in his life.

Sorry.. but the statement;
combined with;
add up to..
you don't have a clue what you are looking at and are in no position what-so-ever to judge.
Anyone who as not fought at, or trained fighters for, a competitive level is incapable of judging what is good from bad fighting. Your being a "hobbyist" does not put you on an equal footing with people that have coached fighters to success. You simply do not have "the eyes" to really know one way or another. The proof of this is found within both what you have stated and, what you say you are unsure of, with regard to the clips posted.
Contrary to belief by some people on this and other forums...Yes.. you DO have to have actual experience to know. Being a hobbyist/practitioner does not and never will qualify you, or anyone else who thinks as you do, to be able to judge.
David is right... you need help with your vision.. and a great deal of help at that. But thanks for your "respect" as lord knows that is the stuff for which I live.

The world would become a much better place for all of us if someday you trained "FIGHTERS" who could beat up UFC champions with just taiji, bagua and xingyi. Until then these endless discussions about IMA or even TCMA will continue for ever with no proof of them being anything more than amateur fighting. So good luck and personally I hope you can make IMA proud by training such fighters.

Are you talking about the counters for foot sweep? You can
- pull your foot over the sweeping leg.
- turn your shin bore into the sweeping leg.
Both will require body spinning.
A fake demo is easy to detect. When someone chokes your throat, instead of trying to use your hands to break the throat hold, you drop your hands next to your legs and shake like a fish, that's fake. When you can see some abnormal respond, that's fake. In that clip, his opponent made mistakes that even a beginner won't make those mistakes.

Someone else will have to carry that torch, dude. My era pre-dates professional MMA.
But that does not change the fact that fighting at any competitive level is still fighting at a competitive level, amateur or otherwise. And it also does not change the fact that until you, or any other "hobbyist" that thinks like you do, steps into a ring of ANY kind or venue and wins. Or coaches anyone in ANY kind of competitive venue to win (I have done both, btw) their opinion on fighting at any level means exactly ZERO to me.
For now, your ignorance is both telling and laughable. Come back and talk to me when you are more than just a "hobbyist" and perhaps I will listen.
