i quited wushu 7 years ago and was a nanquan athlete during the compulsory form period. Only this guy still makes me feel excited watching southern fist. Never really liked all the flashy changquan stuff and new nandu jumps in nanquan. Yang Shi Wen is how southernfist should be. respect to this legend who is not anymore among us.
He's amazing, i haven't seen any southern style martial artist do a job better than him on youtube yet... not to mention, today's wushu compeition are all flips and stunts, he actually empahsizes power and speed... just that i saw him get really tired after the first 4 sections of the form, never the less, i loved it....
As a Choy Lee Fut practitioner, I really am impressed at the quality of his movements and speed/power of execution. One of the most impressive Nan Chuan performances I've seen. Does this master do Choy Lee Fut? Or just Hung Gar?.. Because I believe I have seen him performing Hung Gar...
@Jaygenius: You may be right that this is how people express their cult-like admiration. But I'm not talking about how Wu-Shu is becoming increasingly cosmetic (with its new free-style like competitions). I'm not even saying that the judges would classify his performance based on his muscularity. What I'm saying is that although most people commenting here are probably chinese martial arts practitioners, they are more imressed with his body aesthetics than his quality of movements.
@AndreRMestre Fair enough guy, just don't like to be associated with kung fu (fyi kung fu isn't a precise term either, but if you are using it for the deadheads, fine). Peace my martial arts brother :D
@mikungfu i kinda reacted the same as you when i noticed ppl commenting that he got large shoulders... there are tons of ppl that are very built, but what i was impressed about was his potential.... i don't like this form much (becz ima a traditional southern style practionioner) but seeing his movements really impressed me.. not his build... i have the same build as him, but i can't do those movements nearly as good... yet :D
@ichibanniko : Being a CLF practitioner and teacher myself for 20 years, that's what I thought too. Although I may always be misjudging the facts because there are similar southern styles which could lead to similar biomechanics. What really baffles me is to witness most comments here are about something as irrelevant as how big his shoulders are. What in hell does that have to do with good wu-shu whatsoever?!.... Once again, in this day and age, it's always about appearance. Never about being.

He moves at a speed that looks almost beyond human capabilities
