I had expected to see master Liang himself demonstrating the forms described here. Instead, we see his head students going through the motions. Kelly McLean is good, however, the male student with the blue outfit needs a lot time to work on being more relaxed - this is after all an internal art. His back seemed stiff, rather than straight, and he was moving much too fast.

This is simply not good enough. If this is a master Liang tape, _he_ should be demonstrating all the forms, not the student body. Again, you buy these tapes not just to see the movements, but also to see the form of someone who has practiced them for many years or decades.

That said, this tape describes the animal forms that weren't included in the book of the same name, as well shows the forms "Xing Yi", the five fists and the five fist linking sequence.

This is a great companion to the book, and shows things that aren't in the book also. Master Liang's top students demonstrate very clearly. Together with the book, this is more instruction on Xingyi than you will find anywhere else.

The program was good if this is the style you want to learn.

I THOUGHT THIS VIDEO SUCKED IT SHOWED ALL THE XINGYI FORMS WITH NO EXPLAINATION ON THE FORM THE PURPOSE OF THE FORM WHAT IT WAS USED FOR OR NOTHING THE VIDEO IS REALLY STUPID IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LEARN FROM THIS VIDEO IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IT JUST BUY IT IN YOULL SEE HA HA
