1.How to train so you can use the quality of your art, and not default to kickboxing.
2. Use of legs.
3. Inside outside

I quite like his idea that (and this is just my interpretation of what he said) you should have 3 techniques that you know work, then you can just relax and just train the rest of your martial art for 'fun' or self cultivation, not life and death seriousness.
(By 'work' I think he means kill or incapacitate in some way).
Martial arts works better (I think) when approached with a spirit of experimentation and play ("Torshilteel" in Mongolian) and this would be one way to take the pressure off yourself so you can do this.

Seems like a good philosophy for all of life

First of all, obviously this is not a training video. This is an informative video where Alex asks mainly on the upcoming Serge's seminar and also on elements of the "Daoist boxing" book. The title of the video (I think) describes a part of Serge's art that has to do with fighting, i.e It is an internal art that can be used in real fighting and also links to the "Daoist boxing" book, so I do not think is misleading. By the way I'm reading the book and is exceptional, regardless on what you train.
Also for those who mentioned the non-moving targets, if you closely watch the video you will find a point around 13:12 that Serge is telling that with the technique you can make the opponent not to move so much and then you hit him. So he doesn't speak about non-moving targets but to bring the opponent in an almost non-moving position and hit. Of course you cannot expect him to analyze in detail how this is done in a video. That's what seminars are for :)
Sparring is also not an issue here. He doesn't talk about sparring.
For any misunderstandings I'm not one of Serge's students (I would have no problem to declare that, in case I was) but I know Alex quite a few time now. I have participated in one of Serge's seminars in Cambridge in 2011. I encourage everybody to go and meet him in his seminars and then of course make up his mind about him.
My best wishes for a beutiful and relaxing Sunday to all.
