Do you know how many wanna-be MMA guys put their hands out for dostance with their hands open before a fight? A lot. This is why they don't allow small joint manipulation in the cage fights -- it would be over too fast. They have rules to keep fighters careers going longer, have less injuries and be moer of a sport for a reason. Bruce Lee used to just smack people's fingers straight into their hands and break them when they sparred like that. It works.
Having participated in Master Yang's demos as the "partner", I can tell you his skills are phenomenal. There is not enough room here to explain why it doesn't matter about closed fists vs open palms or this stance vs that stance. Even his videos, while quite indepth, still just scratch the surface of the art. To get a real understanding, you'd have to find a qualified teacher and spend a lot of "time and energy" devoting yourself to it.
The common mistake made when viewing these clips is that you are seeing the style. You are not. This is a basic demonstration of some particular techniques of White Crane Chin Na. The stance is a pretty common Chinese "On Guard" stance, but you do not "stand" in this position to fight but move constantly. Actually a person who keeps his fists clenched is easier to control than one with open palms, since he is too stiff to realize when he's being led into a bad position....Continued in next post.
The problem with this tehnique is that most of the martial arst that people too either boxer, kick boxer, muay thai and just streetfighters, they have their hands in fists and it's pretty hard to bend and catch his joints... but I do respect and admire Wu Shu...
Interesting techniques; yet, something seems a bit strange: why does the student keep his legs so much wide apart and his knees bent in such a funny way in the first technique? A kick would suffice to cap his knee. Is it a traditional stance? If so, how is it to be used? I'm rather curious.
@elangelgourmet By Kung Fu, do you mean to say that the student lacks in training? If so, it's sad to have him demonstrate a technique (even as the receiving end of said technique), for it damages the wushu's reputation. Well, it's YouTube: it does not represent all of China. Yet, there is a funny thing: the master seems to have a similar posture, but seems to stand in a much firmer way; is there hope for the apprentice? ;-)
@elangelgourmet Seriously dude? This guy is a Master and has been teaching for over 30 years, and has written well over 50 books on CMA. Let's see you do better or shut the hell up. Seriously..... SO many TubeTards on here.

Lesson learned: never use open palms when fighting old Chinese dudes.
