    Put the full youtube.com link, or else just the bit at the end (CR-7E5xXs4c). The forum software isn't smart enough to recognise youtu.be links.

    Also, it would probably help the thread if you posted some kind of comments to start off the discussion.

    Thanks Doug, will keep in mind, hopefully get it right next time. I didn't comment, as I thought like the Shuai Jiao I posted before onits history, people might like to form their own opinions?

    I see some interesting and some suspect stuff in what I've watched, thought / hope the vids might spark a debate on such?

    My idea was to look for some old styles, the videos of such are rare beyond the wushu dross thats everywhere. what I do notice is that many older styles are simple and practical, some of the sharpness and guard usage is not there as you would see in a competive sanda fighter, but that could simply be down to the proponents not having had the oppertunity to face high quality oponents, so what I look at that I like is the foot work, body evasion, capturing of centre and finishing that seems sound, (could be tightened up for the ring) but fundamentally its there, unlike say much modern kung fu dance. I'm just wondering if others notice this too?
