you seem to be fishing for other people's opinions before stating your own. while technically you didn't break the forum rules by posting a video with zero text content, you skirted that rule by posting text that doesn't say anything about the video.

Yep, like Ming said, time to start stating your opinions. Yes, posting a link and scooting along is against the rules. Originally Posted by Bezmond

Jeez. I enjoyed watching it. Thought you might. Originally Posted by It is Fake

I know its not as entertaining as posting a load of ill conceived **** that you can tear to pieces, but I an happy to admit that I come here to learn something. And laugh at ill conceived **** being torn to pieces. -

I didn't even realise it was a two man set...I just thought it was some sort of slowed down sparring. Then I saw that kick and roll again at the end of the second video and thought hmm. Originally Posted by Rivington

The two-man forms I know are like learning how not to step on your dance partner's toes. As far as I know, these are mostly timing/distance drills and part of bridge training in styles like hung kuen; a way of learning to make contact, keep contact, and move around with a partner while maintaining your balance and not falling on your ass like a clown.

It feels like you're saying I'm not pulling my weight around here. I'm sorry. Originally Posted by Ming Loyalist

I tried real hard to generate an opinion all of my own when I replied to Rivingtons post. If this wasn't enough, then, again, I'm sorry.
I promise to try harder in future.
