Some peeps here are clueless. This dude is prolly strong as an ox, most likely a wrestler (shuaijiao). If he gets a good grip on you its over. Nice clip.

@nianfong Exactamundo my friend. Hope youve been well and things been goodl. Havent seen you at the tourneys for a while..

@DaiBoxer

he's definitely a shuaijiao man. look at his sweep drills and grip training with the twists. these are pretty classic shuaijiao basics.

Aguilar - totally agree. There's a reason that old-school excercises have survived the ages; because they work. I'm a personal trainer and while I haev my own methodology etc, I stick to what works. Squats, deads, chins, press-ups, kettlebells, bench, flyes, pullovers, lunges etc. Keg training etc is superb. The guy on this video? I'd bet he can bench his body weight and then some. Don't be fooled - he's not to be messed with, you only have to look at the way he moves. Respect!

HELL YEAH DAIBOXER LOTS OF PEOPLE DONT KNOW WHAT REAL TRAINING IS. OLD SCHOOL TRAINING IS WHERE ITS AT STONE LIFTING, KEGS, HINDU PUSH UPS AND SQUATS ETC.

@flupetto If this guy was truly out of shape he wouldnt be exercising. He's prolly focused on strength manuevers and doesnt do much body "building". Ever notice how "uncut" many powerlifters are? But still strong as hell. Similar thing here. Take care.

@flupetto Cheers my friend. I always admire lifters' dedication and discipline. All the best to you in all your are doing. Pls accept my friend request.

@DaiBoxer Thanks form educating me on this matter. I've never practice shuajiao, I'm a weightlifter with maybe too conventional views. Probably a common mistake among westerners.
