Quickstep, i was thinkin more along hte lines that the smaller guy would use a more MT style knee to the tender parts getting more elevation and using the body weight to bring the opponent down. The only thing i would be tinking off is the hand lacing behind his neck, if you#re smaller (like me) mechanial advantage isn't always there so i personally wouldn't just MHO

it would be better to try it while full resisting. the clinch is not thight, and your head is to far from him. But it's a cool move, and good app for it.

You are right

Quickstep - sorry, just recently saw your post. It says I have to be invited to view your blog. Is that on purpose? Shall I PM you my blogger ID?

Thanks.

Interesting....second person that considers Sun style to be UN-hebei. I never quite understood why though, and would be interested in a quick overview of the reasons, if anyone would like to take the time.

I feel the same. I think if you describe more orthodox hebei, then many aspects won't fit sun-style. It is softer and more compact. Therefore, the jin sometimes the jin feels more like shanxi than hebei. It is also often practiced a little bit slower and the jin is sometimes not very evident. I think you can compare it a bit with those Wang Shujin clips at youtube. This is how I can best describe the Sun flavor I have met. But remember that many practicing sun xy also practice taiji and/or bagua, so this often have an "impact" on the practitioners XY. Sun Lutang also studied shanxi and song XY, so Sun style is definitively some kind of mix, not regular hebei, even if many people seem to think that this is how "regular" or "orthodex" hebei should look like.
