As was pointed out, this is the KL 22 point system. It was a "public" or "village" version of the more in-depth version of Leung Jan's art. The video is demo'ing each of the individual San Sik or short sets and then showing a two-man application that helps a student understand what the set is teaching. Each short set is the equivalent of breaking out a small section of a form like Siu Lim Tao or Chum Kiu and practicing it individually. So, like in the SLT or CK forms, you don't necessarily practice things exactly as you would apply them.
What's the story with him using one arm all the time , you've got two arms , use them .
It would be different if he was using the one arm efficiently , too deflect and strike through in the one motion , but he's not.
I'd need to know which parts you are specifically referring to. Like I pointed out above, in the SLT and CK forms one sometimes concentrates on the use of one arm alone with using both arms at once.
Instead he does a Bong Sau here , a Bong Sau there , followed by a Pak Sau before he finally gets a hit in.
It's just too indirect , too much messing around and using deflections that have no structural integrity to deal with heavy force.
Some of the 2 man application drills are about teaching lines, technique structure, and getting in reps. Just like doing the Pak Da drill with a partner. You wouldn't expect to stand in one spot and block multiple punches with just Pak Sao.
It's pretty obvious their stuff has not been tested against real power, at one point in the video the guy charges in with a hook kick , and the other guy seems to think he can stop it with one arm then Fak Sau the other guy in the nuts , it's fantasy stuff.
I don't know. You may be right about not being tested in recent times! I wouldn't do technique either! But again, realize that this was considered a version for "public consumption." Not everything was taught. Some things may not have been taught properly or completely, etc. I don't like the idea. But it seems it was a relatively common thing in TCMAs.
