Answer part 4. Positions of hands are related to the fact, that yiquan is not only about hitting with fist. Hitting with all parts of body is only a part of this too. What creates really big difference is working with affecting opponent's balance by hitting, pushing, pressing, releasing force in various directions, anywhere where contact happens, moving 'into opponent'.
If you've ever read Jack Dempsy's book, "Championship Fighting", then you might get a bit more what this guy is doing. Punching mechanics are much more than just bending the hip and throwing from the shoulder, and the Yiquan people really work that [retty good.
@AlHasashinBattousai 1. Thinking about just making the punch effective is very opposite to what you learn in yiquan. The idea is ALL, not just punch. Even if it is called punch and looks like a punch, the idea is power everywhere. It can be punch, but the same action can be myriad of other things, and the same mechanics which generate power for punch, at the same can generate power for hitting of other part of body, or pushing or pulling, longer or shorter.
Answer part 3. On this clip it's EXPLAINING to beginners, and demonstrating SLOWLY and CLEARLY how they should work at BEGINNING level. Starting from coordinating body (creating efficient structure). What we call 'changes' and 'changes inside changes' is to difficult for beginners.
2. Thinking too much about "internal ideas" is very wrong, binding your development. The main think is studying the reality, which in this case means mainly the reality of fighting, and learning how to adapt to conditions. There might be various conditions/situations, and of course your body work - methods of generating power should be adapted. For example if you are just in a big fight with many people around, where you need to move fast, change position, turn, then what makes more sense:
Answer part 2. Why it is done so on the clip has its explanations. But I only like explaining things to people who are willing to know, not those, who prefer criticizing everything without knowing anything.
Answer part 5. Boxers are just not training this. So they are great on ring. They are great in many outside ring situations too. But when we spar with them, they often become like hopeless child, not understanding what's going on. Some of them intuitively start fighting close to our way then, because it works better, but they are not doing it efficient enough, because they don't have this part of training.
3. So range of movement depends on situation. And of course it also depends on level of practice. In Yao's program beginners are taught quite extended, sometimes exagerrated movements, because it makes it easier to develop mind-body coordination like this. Then of course practice goes gradually to shorter, more subtle movments. But from point of view of fighting, all spectrum can be usefull.
he's using internal power. the whole point is to relax the body, take power from the ground and make the arms very heavy. i've trained in muay thai as well but then i left it to train in this. in my opinion this is more deadly. htting someone even lightly with one of these blows causes their body to shake and shocks the nervous system.
Answer part 1. Just don't talk, when you don't know anything. That comment is like seeing someone doing push ups and you start talking how the rythm is terrible, and useless in fighting and postition so vulnerable for attack.

EXCELLENT please start a academy at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor Michigan

Last part with moving target amazing! But it's only about attention work.

2a. Using the power generated by your step and body rotation?
or
2b. Stopping your movement in order to use "internalized mechanics"? :)
Good work
Did that boxer guy in the end of video punched the pud even once ? :D
Seems like master has very good reaction
Absolutely true!

save it
I am the those people who wants to know. Thanks for the explanations. ^ ^
So you've trained with Bruce Lee then?
It's ok.
