Nice Xinyi Liuhe applications vid - Man Wenjie, Shanghai

Just came across a very nice video of a Shanghai Xinyi Liuhe teacher showing some of the basic XYLH forms (Yao shan ba, single seize, tiger, snake) and also at least 20 mins of various examples of usage / application:
Don't know the teacher, but he allows his students to try out all sorts of locks / throws etc on him (at one point a student even tries a choke and a kind of double shoot), and the way he deals with the attacks shows how XYLH got its reputation as a 'fierce' (hen, daidu) art, lots of short power elbows and knees, looks like it would be very nasty if he hit you full force with one of those.
