anyone who doesnt think this is a good demonstration of traditional xiaohongquan- shi yongzhi learned directly from his master shi xingshu, who was one of the elder monks to return from the cultural revolution and restore the shaolin tradition. you dont get much more traditional in shaolin than from the few of those elder monks. shi yongzhi is a direct descendant of those generations.

The differences between the way he does this form and I do make me want to make a video just for the sake of it.

It's really fun to watch when you know it and have trained it, to look for the differences that occur depending on who taught it to you.

cuz shaolin uses a different fajin. Check out shi de cheng's version. The tension and release has almost perfect timing but it's maybe that he's moving fast but his hip is there.

for those who say his stances are shit you must not know much about real traditional kung fu in traditional your gong bu is only supposed be the length of 4 steps as long as your feet none of this 3 ft wide wushu crap anyways this form is good and u can see the power and application very well

I like this form :D I think he shows excellent technique and fairly strong stances for an old guy. It looks very strong :) The other one shows more of a young guy performance with chang quan/cha quan type body. Good spirit, but the technique isn't as clear or solid.

This video is from an instruction vcd, so he performs slower than usual. although this may not look much, those of you who have trained real shaolin gong fu will appreciate his skill.

its traditional, if ur looking for flashiness thats wushu, not kung-fu. the basics like stances and practical applications just arent stressed anymore, this guy here still got it however unflashy it looks compared to sport martial arts.
