Having said this, it remains to be seen if he can actually put to use what he demos outside of a demo setting.
He talks about center,,,and everything being free to move.
Is it? free to move.

I actually think that he explains it well. Though he only explain the result, the body, how it should be. But he doesn't explain how to get there in a practical sense.
Ok you feel he does, I would say some of his ideas concerning physics is offHaving said this, it remains to be seen if he can actually put to use what he demos outside of a demo setting.
Well... if you want to know... then challenge him!

I don't think he ever speaks about what he does as a certain technique or even mention the word technique. What he demonstrate is a certain body method, not "how to do", but "how to be".
Exactly, we seen enough.windwalker wrote:Bao wrote:windwalker wrote:Watching it, my own feeling was that he may understand what he feels he's doing but has not really explained it in a way

No need, hes shown in the clip that he can not do what he talks about in a free from context.
There is not enough lower body integration. While he certainly looks like he has good sticking ability and has a very practical easy to learn style, excellence in Tai Chi is a word that is reserved. As I had stated before the learning curve of chen-style is much greater but later it is much much more powerful. But it definitely does look like he would be not only fun but an interesting training partnerBao wrote:Yes I've watched it, this and every Kaufman vid available. He is excellent. Though I doubt that many will be to put what he teaches into practical practice.

Some of the best boxing coaches never competed and wouldn’t stand a chance in the ring. I know nothing about Kaufman’s fighting abilities, but he might very well be able to teach you something that you could use.

Some skills may work in a demonstration, but not work when a moving resistant/relaxed opponent is added to the equation.

Why do you believe that they must do so?
Some skills may work in a demonstration, but not work when a moving resistant/relaxed opponent is added to the equation.

How can you be so sure?
