Steel Arm Leaning Method 5th Quanzhou Chen Zhonghua Taiji Lecture

Chen Zhonghua’s Steel Arm Leaning Method reminds me of Aikido’s unbendable arm demo.
Are they expressing the same internal principle, or just similar in appearance?

 

[Kung Fu Wang]

By using extension force to deal with side force, and transfer force back to opponent's shoulder. Even my beginner students can do this.

 

[O'Malley]

Yup, looks like the same thing.
