In an attempt to balance out the views expressed here, I'll post a image:
It's a photo of myself demonstrating a Crane-Fist technique known as "Carp Swims Against the Current".
My reasoning is that a great many could read into this image what they will, some may openly see the stance shown as being impractical yet not understanding the mechanics nor application principles for same. Some may view the hand formation in the same way and for the same reasoning.
The aspect of single photo's/images on web sites etc is that they are subject to interpretation and do not show the "whole picture".
So while I do agree awith RyuShiKan about the practicality of some of the techniques shown I also have to agree with the others in coming to the understanding that each art has it's own way .... this is why it is called martial "Art"
It all has to do with a matter of viewpoint.
The best viewpoint and perhaps the lesson to come out of all this is ..... that all arts have something to offer. :asian:
