Shi Deyang open mabu:
Deyang's knees extend slightly over his toes - he has to do this for his perineum to be above his heels and his back straight; the geometry doesn't work with thighs parallel to the ground unless one is unusually short knee-to-hip. His students in the demo both lean slightly forward, which is wrong, and produces a classic Shaolin "puffed up" chest, rather than their teacher's powerful and stable vertical alignment.
Anyone who's learned this from an expert will know how deceptively difficult is is to get right - you think you're there, when teacher gives you a minuscule but subtle 1 inch adjustment and suddenly your legs turn to water and you fall over.
