FREE SPARRING WITH PARTNER OF ANOTHER STYLE — SERIES 1
Combat Sequences from Tiger-Crane Set — Sequence 2
Can a practitioner of another kungfu style free spar using his style? Of course, if they have been trained to do so. It is only logical that a Praying Mantis exponent would free spar using Praying Mantis, a Choy-Li-Fatt exponent would use Choy-Li-Fatt, and a Taijiquan exponent would use Taijiquan. If they use Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Wrestling or freestyle fighting, then something is basically wrong.
This video clip shows Anthony teaching his friend, Carlito, who practices another kungfu style, Northern Shaolin, to free spar using his style. None of the movements in the video are pre-arranged. It is understandable that the movements shown in the video clip are slow and hesitant because Carlito has just learnt the sparring methodology from Anthony recently.
It is a credit to Carlito, as well as to Anthony's teaching, that despite a relatively short time in such training, Carlito could use his kungfu forms reasonably well in free sparring. If he continues to practice sparring methodologically, as is shown here, he will be more combat efficient in a year than someone doing free sparring haphazardly in many years.
