Much more evenly matched. Some real whoppers in there! Do you also do tongbei? I saw some nice use of An in there. Way to take advantage of the rules. Seems like you need to work on keeping your cool. You seem to drop your head and/or turn around when an exchange doesn't go your way or continues beyond a couple shots. Anyway, great work. I have had to take the month off of competition to finish my dang thesis here at Cal. Keep it up Omar.
@iancipperly Never done Tongbei. If you are thinking of that long arm palm to the side of the head about 1:39, that's right out of Dabaji. It's the first attack in 2 dui da and part of the second combo in Dabaji. I also wouldn't consider any of those pushes "an". Maybe one or two in the other match but mostly that is "tiger" from Xingyi. It's also about 3/4 of the way through Dabaji. Find my other clip "My Dabaji 2010 - competition performance" for the moves at 37 and 48 seconds respectively.
@williamwilson666 I agree about standing more upright but not about the weight distribution. Unless you have to deal with an incessant leg kicker, front weighting is fine. Don't see the advantage to keeping it on your rear leg. The only real change I want to see for sure in my next fight is more aggressive footwork. I was dealing with a leg injury so I had to kind of "hit and run". I'd like to change circular footwork into more forward angles.
