The first performer proves that if you don't have any stance/foundation you will not have good kung fu. I think this can be said for any style but it is really apparent when watching hung gar.
I only really know Hung Ga well enough to judge, but I literally laughed the first time that guy went into sei ping ma. If our knees aren't over our toes, my sifu will kick your leg just enough at the knee to make you collapse.
ok here are my 1 centavos...
Hung Gar , wow straight from a freak show..it wasnt actually for his advance to wear leggings ,skin tight pants,..lol
his form was beyond worst..
CLF not too impressed
Ngo Cho Kun,well I live in Manila Chinatown which is like a second Fukkien..here are 2 very old and famous ngo cho kun gyms..with very good Sifus who are my friends ..anyway that gives me lots of exposure to this respective style..back to the video I never seen anything weirder than that..
Mantis looked ok
anyway thanks for the clip ...
This video hit home what do you think of this Tai lik ??

yeah it was the leggings and the hair that ruined it for me.
i thought the comments made here were very productive and will hopefully prevent anyone from ever wearing leggings again and also help students recognize that their stances might be wrong if they looked like the guy in the leggings

And the video clips were interesting too. Were there different divisions of skill level at that tournament or time? i.e. beginner, intermediate, advanced. If those were advanced, then it is a little bit of evidence in dispelling the beleif that everyone "back in the day" was so much better than everyone now as a collective. It may still be true, but if that video is any indication, then it wasn't so different then, compared to now; at least not by leaps and bounds as some perpetuate.
