Well B&B as with any video or picture it needs to be understood in teh context. Is it a demo of what not to do? Is it a demo of something else? You know the drill. As for thier stances while Carl may need to root strongly with Ken, there are very few people who can match either of there stances for connectedness and root, Ken doesnt have to go low with most people becuase over the lengthy time he has been training I am sure he has developed quite a root. Same with Carl. I myself tend to look at students when they are in stances and such in these pictures to get an idea of where the school or group is at as far as rooting. For instance, on the Lo Kam Ming thread or whatever it is, the people in the videos and pictures never seem to go deep at all.
