Just watched it and it makes mefeel very good about the direction I am taking my school and students. I just wish that all of these guys like theones in the video would get together in one location and nuke themselves. It would kill the entertainment value, but it would officially fix stupid. At least for a few minutes.

The only positive thing I can say about it is that they are at least fit.

If you look at the way they lean back away from punches and put their arms out. Go to any school that actually hits each other ( eg: boxing ) and go look at the new beginners and tell me they don't do the exact same thing. Happens every time I spar a beginner who has not gotten used to being hit in the face. They try to get their face as far away from the action as they can without falling over. I'm sure I did the same thing too when I started. The problem is these are black belts. To me, a black belt is someone who has completely mastered all the basics of their art. For a striking art that definitely includes correct spacing and stepping to allow maximum power in your kicks, correct body mechanics ( ie: incorporating the shoulders, hips, legs, feet to generate power even when punching. I'm sorry but I just don't see anything here that shows a black belt level.

That is either very nice of you, or very creepy.

I LOVE the clip, but where is the part they're setting of hand in hand for the dunes?

there's more:
YouTube- Crazy kung fu and karate clip by Studio 81

This style of kung fu is called Pangainoon and it is mixed with Shorei ryu karate! (...)

Pangainoon, hmmm isn't that sometimes called uechi ryu as well? Mixed with shorei ryu.

Sure, it doesn't resemble the ryukyu pangainoon I've seen. FAIL
