Haven't seen this clip before. I like the swift hand moves. He is very fast.

I like his elbow/shoulder control (his own). He looks better than I expected. Thanks for posting.

I believe his xylh teacher is Yu Hua Long. Could be mistaken.

George is not a beautiful forms kind of guy, but his applications are solid. Although I could name a dozen people who have closer lineage, better forms, crisper fajing, etc, than him, I have seen nobody in Chen Taiji who applies better.

Well, I would say the other way round: his forms are really nice to watch but his applications are too weight-delivered-thru-a-circle type or punch+chinna combo.

Lan shou is his specialty. He also practices XYLH and Chen Taiji.

You are correct, Yu Hua Long was his primary XYLHQ teacher. I think now he is studying with Qian Zhao Hong.

Jon, I don't think he has seen Teacher Qian in some time. Qian always said George made a big effort to treat him well when he visited the US.
