not bad, but not very good either. long pole (which he should choose instead of shorter double-ended stuff) is very economical - notice how he winds up for many of the blocks/strikes (but gwan, chau gwan, got gwan, taan gwan... ). application will show you in a split of a scond why not to do it in this way.

i have recently spent a lot of time on the pole fighting drills, as i have now one student, originally from a fencing backround, who specialises in a pole fighting. all he does right now are the drills from the six and half point long pole.

I agree with PM, it is ok.

Watching the other vids from this school, came across this set.
