This is a little experiment in sparring. The narration explains what's going on, but basically, black is attempting to only use Xing Yi 5 Element techniques. Red is using anything he likes.

So, this isn't proper XingYi by a long shot - no animal methods are used, for example. Also it's not proper Choy Lee Fut either, since no kicking techniques are used by either player - we wanted to work just on our hand techniques.

After round 1 we watched the footage back and decided that Red needed to use a lot more Choy Lee Fut techniques than he was currently doing, so you'll see that Round 2 is quite different in look and feel.

Note: Black is also a Choy Lee Fut guy, and ends up going back to using Choy Lee Fut techniques at the end of both rounds 1 and 2.

It was an interesting experiment and done with equal respect to both arts.
