Hey people, I'm the collar-shirted guy getting flung about in the video. Good to see our YouTube stuff getting some attention.
Josealb: "the students arent going for it with teh realz....but....they do move because Guo is moving them and they cant help it."
Yea, that's just it. Whenever I resist, I get flung - harder and further. At one point in the video, you can see me adjusting down in my stance. Pretty useless. Much training to do.
But do note that, in the video, I was just learning PH (though I've a few years of Xingyi), so I was mostly trying to get the movements right and not-look-stupid on YouTube. Perhaps the more experienced of you would have an easier time. GSL tells us that a few of his senior students (4-5years experience) have very good martial strength (Gongli, i.e. rooting, whole body integration, etc), and, when PHing with them, he needs to use technique and cannot fling them so easily.
