This is something else though. Using his fingers to push a guy - and clearly the people chosen for this film are chosen intentionally to signal a certain message.
It's just reduces things to a cheap and shoddy circus act. and for what, no more than commercial success.
Personally i find that a shame and shameful. Not for me and it doesn't represent my sort of standards for conduct - ethics.
That matters too.
Would really disagree,,,,
There is a lot documentation explaining the use of the fingers and why
Its along the same lines as some teachers using other objects twig , paper or anything to demo the same thing...
Quite correct none of what is shown as shown at the level shown is meant for combative usage although they're portrayed in that context coming from a historical context of combative training.
The usage part, is another type of training...that not many really pursue...
If one looks at all teaches using this method,,,they all tend to do the same demos showing the same things....

Visited this teacher awhile back... with some of my students from the US Taiwan born,,,talking to the teacher...
Off line, chatting with some of his students. were a little surprised when I could cause the same reactions in them as their teacher did, only to a lesser degree..
Like Rob's work...and the clip made....
Just pointing out the way something is shown is
not necessarily the way its done...
or why
