    yeah, me too. He must be doing it wrong.
    That was an awesome vid. My OL's Grandfather trained with him. I've only seen stills, never saw him move. It was strange seeing him play his form, you can see he was getting on in years, but when he moved, it was another story. Kind of how they described Uyesheba.

    That was NICE. Not a yang expert or anything but he looked very fluid there old age or not.

    hmmm

    Zheng may not of been a Yang expert, as he said he only got 70% of Yang Cheng fu's art off of him, but Zheng definitely had something.
    Even to this day many Yang family exponents put Zheng down, but Zheng couold definitely hold his own.

    I get thought chen man ching's form. I'm a first year's student. I've been talking to many other people that practice tai chi and I found it this is very different then usual yang styles. It's more directed to health then fighting. Now I wonder if I practice this style long enough, would I be able to start using it as a martial art more and more? Or is it better to find another teacher that teaches in a way they do more in wushu..

    Cheng Man-Ch'ing was well-known for his fighting, and his student, William Chen was Taiwan's full-contact champion, and William Chen's son and daughter also compete full-contact, and have outstanding records. So, yes. If you have a good teacher, Like William Chen, you will be able to fight.

    Yes there is. The file is in some sort of flash video format.

    Goto this page to download the clip. You need the URL of the clip.
    http://dev2.traxio.net/projects/googlevideo/

    And you need a "flv" player inorder to be able to view the file. You can get a free "flv" player here:
    http://www.snapfiles.com/get/flvplayer.html

    There is a plugin for firefox that will download files from google video but I don't have the URL for that. If you want to do it the hard way, follow this link:

    It seems that the VideoLan player supports flv playback:
    http://www.videolan.org/

    Here is a simple free program to convert flv files to mpeg or avi. The avi file produced is uncompressed and will be quite large. You can use virtualdub to recompress it to a format of your own choice.

    Here is another program that is somewhat more combersome to use:
    http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?encoder&L=3

    You have to set the video and audio parameters to match the input video parameters for best quality and you have to change the extension of the output file. Instructions on how to use it can be found here:
