Bagua Snake Methods among Other Things

[Methods]

I see a guy teaching credible stuff with little skill.

Eyebrows raise when beginning to strike.
Chin comes up when delivering a strike.
Eyes watch hand movements of opponent.
Hands and arms of opponent are the focus not the body and movement.
Teaching his students to control the arms and hands instead of the body of the opponent.
Mouth opens to inhale when finishing a strike.
Worst of all, after every move he looks around for approval.

Not a pakua person, but martial arts are martial arts and all of these things are signs of an unskilled person who has not had there head knocked in by a credible teacher.

Watching the quality and "realism" of this guys stuff is interesting considering how critical he is of the realism of Zhu Baozhen's and Liu Jingru's technique in an article on his web-site.

Bingo. But so, SO many CMArtists have this problem.

Hypocrisy it may be, but I thought that the applications in that old CCTV series of Liu Jingru's Bagua were utter shite. And I had just started learning Bagua when I saw that, so I was prepared to be impressed.
