It makes more sense that it was added later by some that had heard the story
Also I don't buy the interviewer being locked in space by one hand

You just have to read some of Nigel Suttons books to see how intertwined the two arts are on the island
I really like the interview and how they apply the art
Saying that some things don't make sense

Wayne, yiquan works this way, too. When you grab someone like that you become part of them and it's near impossible to let go.

Actually it's more of a personal trait. Some people grabs on and release very easily. Some others tend to lock up themselves easy and can have it difficult to release or unlock, especially if they are unbalanced (not only physically, but also mentally). It might be hard to put yourself into another person's shoes because insome respects we might sometimes be more different than we think. But I know this from personal experience because I have had this problem myself, that I in different situations have locked up my body, more or less involuntary, and have not been able to "unlock". So some of what the teacher in these clips does might work differently depending on what person he demonstrate his things on. You might say that he has an ideal opponent to demonstrate certain things on or maybe that he is very good to adapt his things to this person.

I have had a few people i have taught who would 'overreact' / have a strange reaction to something i did very regularly. It is something that i wont allow and will tell them they have to work to stop acting that way .. i never see this in people who spar or free grapple alot though
