I don't know why as a chinese martial artist you are meant to represent a wide continuum of practitioners training for different reasons. Is the expectation the same in other arts, I'd guess not. This video is just that a deluded 70 year old getting himself knocked out. It doesn't represent me, it doesn't represent what I do. It just shows a man out of his depth.
“Do you know that even when you look at a tree and say, `That is an oak tree', or `that is a banyan tree', the naming of the tree, which is botanical knowledge, has so conditioned your mind that the word comes between you and actually seeing the tree? To come in contact with the tree you have to put your hand on it and the word will not help you to touch it.”

a person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.
“Truth has no path, and that is the beauty of truth, it is living. A dead thing has a path to it because it is static, but when you see that the truth is something living, moving, which has no resting place, which is in no temple, mosque or church, which no religion, no teacher, no philosopher, nobody can lead you to - then you will also see that this living thing is what you actually are.”

It just seems funny to me that each of these people who gets knocked out it is usually the first time I have heard of them
They don't seem to have any preliminary fights before their world title match

No people young or old seem to step up and take up their place

Those high ranking people know how to protect themselves from fall. I met a 8th Dan masters. He started on how to fight but changed the tune to train for health right the way after crossing hands. Then walked away saying we are not on the same path. The memory on what high ranking people said after Lei Lei vs Xu is still fresh.
