Well, there was a whole lotta aggresive, forward energy in there.
I’ve never seen a low spinning sweep in any Hsing-I that I’ve studied, but, then again, I’m SD so what the hell do I know?
I like the way that guy caught the thrust kick - very sweet!

There’s also no jab in the CMA, but you’ll see it all the time 
CMA are training methods, not fighting methods. Big difference.

depends on who u ask… and where u train… but thats for another 5+ page thread…
anyone who get there leg caught and just stands there on 1 leg deserves what they have comming tp them…
By which I assume you mean, “the floor” or perhaps “some high velocity leather gloves.”
as they say “Karma’s a b!tch”…
To be perfectly clear, according to the EBM website Brent claims influence from Hsing I, Tai chi, northern kung fu, ju jitsu, san shou, qigong, and greco-roman. [Edit: almost forgot TKD & kyokushin]
But then, you know me and how i think: ie that if you can make any of it work- even if just affecting the way you move- you’re still doing kung fu.
That doesn’t necessarily mean doing kung fu to the exclusion to everything else.
We’re human beings, not styles. As humans we need to adapt to the game we’re playing.
Is someone like Randy Couture not a wrestler anymore because he throws some punches or goes for submissions?
The wrestling influences his movement, gives him a level of conditioning, as well as some good take downs.
Yes, he’s striking, he’s submitting, he’s doing mixed martial arts, but he’s still using his wrestling. Above all else he’s human and he’s adapting to the game he’s in, using the influences of what he’s trained.

Do you recognize any of it as Xing Yi?
The takedowns, and the pushing look like Xingyi. The structure could look more like Xingyi, if it was closer to the body. I don’t know how much rapid fire/aggressive response you can do with the gloves on, and the guys have other styles apart from Xingyi in their training. These are points to consider.

some recent shaolin forms have started to incorporate jabs and stand fighting techs.

Jowbacca started fighting and training with fighters, consequently, he speaks sense.
