Overlord, you do know master Zhou is my shigong in the Xing Yi and Pigua systems which I teach, and that I studied with him for long periods of time, right?... Do you have a point in sharing videos of his performing and explaining different things to the material I was demonstrating in my own video?
A person who is not familiar with the curriculum usually cannot attribute the correct techniques shown in application to the empty-handed movements. For instance, in the third video Zhou shifu shows a variation on Xing Yi's Ying Xing (Eagle) which is different to the one I showed in my video. But in fact I was taught both of them. Likewise, another video of him you posted shows possible applications for Wu Long Pan Da, and these are simply not shown in my video. But I do teach them often.
In your previous comment you seem to have made the mistake of thinking Pigua should look like what you see with Wu Long Pan Da, which is a common misconception. In Pigua there is quite a lot of close-quarters combat, but it is seldom shown on video, for no particular reason.
