---Just from this video clip...I would say no. During Chi Sao he is using arms and good stepping, but he never seems to press from the hips. Which is interesting since both are WSL students!
When I chi saued with him WKL used the KWA to root (i.e. to absorb force) but not to press (i.e. to issue force). To press he used the arms but without any tension in his arms or shoulders - so in this method the kwa supports and stabalises the body but is not the prime mover. This difference is hard to put into words but very easy to show.
Both methods are good and both work if you want to uproot someone. I have started to work with the second method more recently after spending a while on the first.
