Re: Internal Strength in sparring

These were recently reposted to youtube. Thought it might be interesting to see / discuss how some higher level CMA guys move and use internal strength. The clip here is of Chen Ziqiang during a televised San Shou match, so the full gamut of skills are likely not on display. In other words, think of it more as a limited engagement sparring session.

Nevertheless, I think it gives a good impression of the "strength" in internal strength and shows how some of the better exponents move.
