Why does everyone seem to need to see full-on attacks to believe that they can be managed easily by someone with high-level internal skills? I have tried to land full-force punches and strikes on such individuals and not only could not get the punches in, I also got stuck-to, controlled and tied up by the person's arms and set up for a choke and lock. I also was black-and-blue bruised from hands to shoulders, though I was the one doing all the punching.
It's about the body method; the punches and strikes and timing become nothing when the "internal body" is "on" and you know how to use the planes of the arms. Go touch hands with one of these people and find out how it feels and what it does to your structure.

(The guy throwing punches, starting at around 1:00, is a bodyguard, exec protection professional. If it looks like he is "holding back," he's not... his punches are hitting a brick wall of 6-directional force and his shoulder and upper back are taking a crapload of force back from his own punches).
.
maybe we'er looking at a different clips. Obviously he's throwing his punches with the timing and over extension so that he can feel whats going on.
At no point is he really trying to hit the teacher, If he is maybe he might consider another job field.
The point that some may be trying to make which I would concur is that what is shown never seems to work once its removed from the context in which its demoed in...none of it. Thinking that ones timing will be good enough to interact with a boxer for example wold be a mistake. With out footwork, controlling the distances, and angles one becomes a target. If the other is the same size ie a heavy weight and can move its not a good ending.
Saying this I do respect the teachers understand the demos and what some may feel they are developing.
I do not agree with the conclusions understanding that "demos" are set up to show certain aspects with in a given
context...they'er demos....which how I view them...When you have this kind of body method, the attacks become academic.
yep, until they'er not
