My recollection on Lou Illar was that he was a hung ga guy who made up his crane system, ie that he wasn't an actual Pak Hok lineage
Ngai wasn't short and he was noted for throwing kicks way above his head..... not to mention Chan sau Chung's name isn't "Chan Chin Chung" and CSC learned Dai Sing Pek Gwa directly from Gan Duk Hoi who was established and teaching it before Ngai was teaching...
but, I mean, other than that it's a great story......
IMO, stretching = 压腿 static stretching + 溜腿 dynamic stretching.
Old Chinese saying said, "压腿不溜腿,一世冒失鬼 - If you only do static stretching and not include dynamic stretching, you are stupid."
压腿也要得法。用人体生理学的观点来分析,压腿就是将腿部、髋部及臀部的肌群静力拉伸,从而发展肌肉的伸展 性,增强肌肉的弹性势能,使肌肉能有更强的收缩力和更快的收缩速度。常用的方法有正压腿和侧压腿两种。其动 作虽看似简单,但也需得法。应遵循由低到高,由易到难的原则,切忌蛮压暴拉,造成不必要的肌肉和软组织损伤 。以侧(中位)压腿为例,身体侧对支撑体(支撑体高度齐胸),被压腿勾脚尖,两腿自然伸直,立腰,开髋,上 体向被压腿一侧压振。其要领就是立腰、松髋、展胯,并且下压至最大限度时停顿几秒。如此交替练习。易犯错误 是胯部的肌肉紧张,胯没打开,收着胯在压,这样压的就仅仅是腿上的肌肉和韧带,髋部的肌群和韧带根本就没得 到发展,压出来的腿,胯就是死的、僵硬的,发力也自然不会顺畅。所以在压腿时千万注意不能收髋和缩胯,否则 永远不能把腿压活。
压腿后要甩腿和踢腿,民间称“溜腿”。拳谚说“打拳不溜腿,一世冒失鬼”。压腿只是将腿部肌肉静力拉伸,目 的在于提高肌纤维拉伸的长度,增长收缩距离,从而获得更大的弹性势能。面蹋腿则是腿部肌肉的动力拉伸运动, 目的是增强腿部肌肉的收缩速度及关节的灵活性。我们都知道,当质量衡定的时候,速度越快,力量便越大,因此 对腿的动力拉伸练习是不可少的。武术中常见的踢法有正踢腿、侧踢腿、十字踢弹踢、外摆腿、里合腿等,其要领 是支撑腿要挺直,踢腿宜直,蹋时要勾起敏落,务必踢得高,愈高则愈妙。
Press to success. Human Physiology point of view to analyze the press is legs, hips and buttocks muscles static stretching, so as to develop the muscles to stretch and build muscle elastic potential energy, contraction of the muscles can have more power and faster speed of shrinkage. Common methods are both press and press. Although the movement is simple, but you must properly. Should follow from low to high, from easy to difficult principles, should not have pretty Flash, causing unnecessary muscle and soft tissue injuries. (Median) legs, for example, body-side to support (support height to chest), Toe is crushed legs, legs naturally straight, vertical waist, open hip, upperparts being pressure pressure vibration on the leg side. The gist is that vertical waist, loose Hip Hip, exhibition, and paused for a few seconds when you push himself to the limit. So on the practice. Pitfalls are hip muscle tension, hips never opened, your hips are pressed, so that the pressure is only your leg muscles and ligaments, muscles and ligaments of the hip didn't evolve, legs, hips, is dead, stiff, with smooth or cause. So in the legs is very important to note not your hips and reduce hip, otherwise never live legs.
Swung his legs after leg and kick, folk known as "slanting legs". Fist proverb says "**** no slip leg, one sad sack." Leg stretch the leg muscles static pressure, aimed at improving muscle fibers stretch the length of the growth shrinks distances, thereby gaining greater elastic potential energy. Collapse the leg is dynamic stretching of leg muscles, aiming to enhance the speed of contraction of the leg muscles and joint flexibility. We all know that when quality measure, and faster, more power, and dynamic stretching exercises for legs is therefore indispensable. Common in martial arts play a Front kick, side kick, bomb kick, Crescent kick, kick cross Inside Crescent kick, the gist of which is support leg upright, kicking leg should be straight, collapse to evoke sensitivity when falling, be sure to kick high, higher is better.

More opinion -> more argument
Less opinion -> less argument
No opinion -> no argument
You mean ballistic stretching? NO, and I think they are older than a year too. Olympians use heated blankets now and many do not use the prolonged static stretches because it impedes the muscles ability to contract quickly which is where the powah come from.
Ballistic stretching is not static or slow.
slow static stretches, such as yoga are useful for bone alignment though.
Zink's stuff is pretty ridiculous and according to the bonafide system holders, he's full of it. So, I'll take it from The Chans who have the real stuff that looks absolutely nothing like the ass staring and tumbling with no applications junk that Zink does.
Kung Fu is good for you.
Yeah, those guys, with their fancy suits and skills, embarrassing everyone else. How very dare they.

****d that stick drop towards the end. Still, I'd be happy if I could do all that, even with a stick drop.

Sure, beautiful to watch and useless from a martial point of view,...you wanna learn the jump up and down? Go learn Parkour or break dance...you'll get the same results.... or even better,,, just to stay within the Chinese theme,....go and enroll yourself to a Chinese Opera school and become the greatest Monkey King....

The big deal is that Paulie Zink is so much better. And also that he is so much more talented than certain other people, who feel embarrassed. This is also the basic reason why people with very low skill slagg off contemporary wushu - they are embarrassed, and have to protect, via some kind of cognitive self deception, their illusion of being highly skilled. Simples.
And then there is the other factor - that other people who haven't got real "lineages", but have very little else either, need to distract attention from that by attacking Paulie Zink - who doesn't actually need one.
If you really think that, you must not know much about real Chinese martial arts
But, then again, this is you!
