I remember learning Ba Zhou (first one) and going through the applications was like a rough game of hockey. Hip checks, shoulder bumps, the works. Great techniques for the clinch game. Really brings into understanding that the whole body can be used as a "weapon", not just the basics (hands, feet, knees, elbows).
This is one of my favorite forms because it's got a lot of goodies a big guy like me can take advantage of. I have a lot of weight to throw around and use in body strikes. Sometimes my size has it's advantages.
Cheers,
Josh
