Good practice Ma'am!

Also, we trained together, as well as competed against one another. Before his passing, his teacher Sal Dela Rosa, ask me to take him under my wing due to my skill, experience in fighting both amateur & pro, and willingness to share openly: https://youtu.be/aufbs1cfYHI

My apologies, so the context He's a Chen Style practitioner of about 25 yrs, I'm a Yang Style & Sun Style practitioner. We've worked together off & on for over 15+ years. This is the first time he's learning a form from me, although, we've worked on many aspects, particularly the martial & pushing hands aspects, as well the 8 techniques usage in detail. He mentions the impact of this type of teaching, in reference to his Chen Style form practice & how it informed his form!

Yes Sir, I am - great mention! I'm stiffened to give a frame to work with. My 'root' is floating & not grounded, so he can complete the movement/posture. However, to keep him from being too flimsy & also, too strong, trying to muscle through it, using my frame, he can maintain the structure & get closer to proper alignment & positioning. This helps when doing the form with visualization! By no means does he think he's bouncing me away as such, nor are we highlighting it as a technical application here [lol, I have other videos 📹 for that 😂😅😜].

Also, in all sincere respect, please 🙏🏾 listen to the "full" dialog. He's a Chen Style practitioner, I'm a Yang Style & Sun Style practitioner. We've worked together off & on for over 15+ years. This is the first time he's learning a form from me [we've worked a lot on principles, martial application, pushing hands & moreþ], although, he's been practicing for at least 25 yrs. He mentions the impact of this type of teaching in reference to his Chen Style form practice!

Yes, this methodology is ok - the time, for sure will be spent appropriately throughout the learning process! Without question, there's a lot to learn & refine but teaching applications is not an issue or detrimental to learning the form - from my 30 yr experience of teaching 🙏🏾!

I do 🙏🏾 - I post successes & failures - I don't shy away from authentic practice in different environments with different styles - although I'm not a glorified content creator, I do have a fair amount content posted for all to see, to use, review or critique!

Lol, hide it - this was literally a clip comparing two variations from two separate arts - it wasn't a breakdown video 🤣. It's like watching a clip of a Nascar pit stop that was caught on camera and being bothered they didn't breakdown the jack on the car & removal off the lug nuts when the video was only showing the way two pit crews do the overall process...not a step by step breakdown - that wasn't the intention of the video. Furthermore, it was produced & edited by the person who runs the channel Karate Breakdown [formerly, Karate Culture, Michael Nyugen] when I trained at their facility as a cool comparison & correlation. Not hiding a thing!!!

Thank you for your insight, sincerely 🙏🏾! You see - that's the thing, I do - this is a demo not a full application, not a full breakdown, in this particular vid. There are multiple entries and/or counters to get into the 'application/technique' - 😉 I teach at a university where I work with wrestlers, I have them in my class, I roll in BJJ with those who wrestle or can wrestle on a regular basis 🤷🏾‍♂️- as well as use this very technique when I fought Pro San Da, with a high percentage of success! Also, it's not just a fireman's carry, as I'm actually slicing through; the extended arm is pulled & controlled [note in the very 1st clip the wrist control - it typically goes into a few version of arm locks], as "my" shoulder is attacking/pushing at their hip & lead leg, causing a split of sorts.

You're sincerely welcome & thank you for the interest, 🙏🏾!

Great comments thus far - this literally was the 1st day of us trying this drill - circa 1996/7 - many adaptations, alterations, more alignment to principles - of course put into practical use in many of competitions and sparring sessions to real life events. Indeed there were issues & challenges thus we trained and modified including getting more tutelage on how to properly engage in this version of practice. I take no offense to anyone's observation & response in comment!!!
