I had a couple of seminars with SiQung Chiu and even with his hardness, you don't want to be touch by his fist. His power in his waist transmitted in his movement his extremely powerful even if it doesn't look like.
In order to promote any styles of kung-fu, we must earnestly not only practising just various forms, instead we should promote more free sparrings in order for practitioners to experience the practicial techniques. Furthermore, it does not matter what style of kung-fu, karate or any standup strikings, please be open mind and learn the sweet science of boxing.
Though free sparring in some forms is not all that realistic. A friend of mine practices Northern Praying Mantis, and although he spars, there are things that wouldn't cut in in modern day free-spar like skin pinching and groin strikes
Still, it's always nice to see many Sifu practicing, teaching & sharing their arts that they've done for so long. It's inspiring in that we can hope to be in as good health as they are when we get to their ages :)
have some respect, he did it better than me, and i bet he did it better than you.... please think twice before you submit such a disrespctful criticism concerning one of our most respected sifus. he is a living record of our heritage and integrity.
I guess practitioners are supposed to get wiser with age. As for fluidity & refinement, maybe that applies to internal artists. I don't see senior citizens looking fluid & refined when practicing external arts that they'd done so well many years before in their youth.
That's why seniors don't continue competing in San Shou, MMA, boxing, TKD, etc. Maybe some do, but they'd be exceptions to the rule. We deteriorate when we age so, realistically, we don't really get more fluid & refined. It's a nice thought, though :)
I agree, though for me, I always thought he looked too 'hard', if not rigid, in his movements but that's his character I guess, but you would have thought he would have got 'softer' with age to balance it out a bit better. (And it's not disrepectful to make these obervations)
There is article in Kung Fu Magazine (can not find the issue now), where Chiu Chi Ling speaks directly to the point he is trying to emphasize the "soft". He mentioned specifically, Wing Chun, Wooden Dummy, and sticky hands techniques an the importance of them to the arts. But, for a movie demo, people are coming to see him do his thing. I think people would be disappointed if he where to break out a Yan Style 24 Pattern Form. He could probably do it well, but not his most noted style.
For the record my favourite movie-wise would be Chi Kuan Chun and he's not exactly the softest either (on screen), but technically better than Chen Kuan Tai (who crucially not only softer (and flows) better but has the the charisma and real-life experience etc etc).

Awesome master. He was born in 1943, the performance was in 2007, so he was 64 years old here, and moves like a 20 year old. Amazing! :)

You can be just as good even you aged if you don't stop practicing, Unfortunately, many , when they r SIFU don't practice anymore.

I made a proper critism of a seasoned practitioner, there was no disrespect there. Do you disagree with my comment, or are you a faith follower?

Yes, a fair point, it being a demo.
For the record my favourite movie-wise would be Chi Kuan Chun and he's not exactly the softest either (on screen), but technically better than Chen Kuan Tai (who crucially not only softer (and flows) better but has the the charisma and real-life experience etc etc).

I'm amazed, I could see his power emanating from my computer screen. Wish I was there to see this with my own eyes. Thanks for sharing.
