@ukguy Not just that, there are many small mistakes (e.g. defending hand for pao bad positioning, heng lacks circulation and beng over-extended, never sink his elbow, etc) in his execution which may not seem like much but it shows poor basics and in an actual fight, he will lose out.

Fantastic display of Hebei XY.. Brings out the flavor of the art's various animal forms. Seldom see such precise stances...

@ukguy I totally agree with u it looks like wushu performance style xing yi. Xing yi was an army combat form they wouldn't train with unnecessary fancy moves

[ukguy]

sorry no offense to the man in the video but that isn't xing yi, why all the front weighted stances making him all unstable and the ott stamping, very wushuified.

[wenaolong]

Just kidding about that. He's clearly not practicing xingyi as I've ever seen it or understood it to be a martial art. Just the way he wobbles and steps way too far out and stomps with no power (because not an expression of body integration but just how high he lifted his foot), well all that says this is a show form. Still, he put on a good show with it, which was his intention.

[wenaolong]

He's better than most of those who are commenting here.

lol. true true. I dont pratice wushu. I practice traditional kung fu, ...i have a love-hate relationship with wushu, its very fun to watch, but thats all its good for

[llNonFictionll]

I guess. If you mean fun as in the way it's an excellent example of how NOT to EVER practice your xingyi. >_> Real fun. But that's just my bias I suppose. I just don't enjoy watching wushu. No offense meant to the man in the video.

[randyds5]

YEAH, but its still fun to watch
