    johncchk, welcome to MAP.

    Just posting videos without an explanation breaks forum rules, so can you explain what it is you like about these videos?

    If it's you in the videos please tell us something about yourself.

    I am not really understanding that drunken form - no offense. She moves drunken style, but hardly any strikes or MA combat moves that I could see. Just a couple of mild attempts at the very end.

    Maybe this drunken style just has different goals in the form than the Drunken form in my style?

    They are my kung fu teacher in northern part of China and they are focus about qigong and other northern internal style as well as internal meditation. The drunken fist is major focus to practice Qi and the "root power"of your stand in a dynamic movement.

    I've never liked that Xingyi punch absorption stuff. It complete disregards the possibility of your opponent having a concealed blade.

    What is "Xingyi punch absorption"?

    Lots of Xingyi guys use strategies where they take a shot to the torso to enter and drill ways to minimise the damage.

    If his opponent only punches on his head and not on his body, those "absorption" will be useless. Old Chinese saying said, "If you don't hit on your opponent's head, you may have to fight him from sun raise until sun set". To jam your opponent's punch (at 0.26) is a good idea. Again, you will never use your face to "jam" your opponent's punch. I just feel thos body shots are not realistic. Even if you may develop such "absorption" skill, it will still be an useless skill.

    If that's the case then why are the majority of punches in Kung Fu forms to the body? I would also point to Bas Rutten versus Jason Delucia.

    Unless he has a knife that you didn't see.

    Neat! So, from what I can tell, they either shift their body back to minimize the blow or try to move into the target so that they can't get proper extension for their strike? Do they have a similar strategy if someone tries to punch them in the face?

    I can see why this method of defense would not work so well with a knife in the opponent's hands.

    Hmmm. Kyokushin guys develop something similar... But with pain and experience being the teacher.

    In high school, I was a teaching assistant and helped my teacher to correct beginners in my Kung Fu class. There were a tall guy and a short guy in my class. I fixed the

    - tall guy's horizontal back hand punch to be 10 degree upward.
    - short guy's horizontal back hand punch to be 30 degree upward.

    IMO, all punches should go to the head.

    My tip, move the face.
    The head is a smaller target and in general people tend to protect it using hands.
    Best way to protect something is always to move it.
    These kind of techniques are clearly not meant to be the only taught way to meet a technique, but if you are alittle slower, and dont have time to get your whole body out of the way from a punch, you can do this.

    Here is what I was talking about before. This is Sifu Lau from the Mria Mesa location of my schools at an exhibition in China. He is doing a CLF drunken form. What I like about it is that you can clearly see the strikes in the form. A lot of drunken forms have amazing acrobatics, but the strikes aren't so clearly defined.
