It shows nothing except a obliging student making her teacher look good
Nothing wrong with that
As for reading bios why would I do that when you posted film of him
I fought full contact many times in Taipei in 1975 as well as fighting in the tang shou Tao world championships
I see you are starting classes in Taipei if there are so many great masters there why would you bother
Why would I not. Not in Taipie BTW in Hsinchu.
I can appreciate others views and skill sets, while at the same time deepening my own
and sharing them with others who might find them useful or interesting.
You might read the bio as I often do to see and understand the persons view point
In this case the teacher is old now but has/had a big group whom I had an opportunity to meet
they seemed like a nice group.
Humble guests are always welcome... Pride filled martial artists will return home humbled and dirty. Regular members pay a small and reasonable tuition. Often there are 15 or more people doing free form push hands. Students of all styles attend and often there are foreigners in attendance (some that even fly in just to train with the group for a short period or brush up before a tournament). Often there are members present that speak a bit of English.
The head master of the group 鄭顯氣 Jeng Shean Chih (Zheng Xian Qi):
http://taichitaiwan.blogspot.tw/Funny, what I saw of the clip was a student trying to catch the idea and feeling
of what their grand teacher taught...wanting to feel it directly.
Nothing to do with making the teacher look good or not.
Relevance? As I mentioned to "steve" it might be something he could use or add to
his own training set.
