    It's been roughly translated on a mantis forum

    Plenty of doy chong (heavy arm / double practice) and chy sao (grinding arm) by the two kids - and it looks like they need it.

    true, the kids are pretty skinny but then again they are young. pity the old master didn't demonstrate a few techniques.

    The kids were too new, not too young. Shame they couldn't get some more experienced demonstrators. Maybe they were grand-children who just happened to be about :).

    yes, i thought their chy sau demo was rather sloppy and used incorrect technique...what do you think?

    I don't want to be cruel - they just hadn't got it sussed, probably because they hadn't trained much at all.

    Apart from this clip, I've not seen chy sao done with the pheonix-eye fist before. I wonder if the forward-thrusting part of the circuit is supposed to include a forearm twist...

    Also, the ginger fist seems to be 'missing' from the doy chong as I know it.

    Rgds,

    I've normally seen chy sau done with the little finger middle knuckle protruding rather than the phoenix eye fist.
