Another valuable video from this channel. Hilarity often ensues when practitioners cherry-pick specific moves from wrestling (or other martial arts), without a fundamental understanding of when/why/how they are executed, and then try to use these borrowed movements to explain CMA forms, completely out of context. Not only is this a complete waste of students' valuable training time, this also unfortunately results in CMA being poorly represented to the general public. 1:16 To supplement what went wrong here, lower body takedowns like double legs will hardly work against a resisting opponent if the setup and posture are incorrect. The CMA arrow stance simply has no place in lower body takedowns - if a practitioner must insist that this specific sequence in Gong Li Quan is a double leg takedown, then it follows that the creator of Gong Li Quan intended it to be a very sloppy double leg. On a very basic level, executing and finishing a double leg requires (1) level change of your body, (2) head looking forward (i.e. spine maintained relatively upright), (3) closing the distance to the opponent's centre of gravity and securing the back of his thighs or knees, with your head kept extremely tight to his body and (4) using circular or forward momentum of your head and body to disrupt the opponent's stance / balance, thereby driving his buttocks to the floor. Double leg has many different versions - you have the standard double where you (1) penetrate the midpoint of the opponent's stance with your lead (right in this case) knee on the floor, (2) put your left foot forward behind the opponent's stance and (3) drive him to the floor clockwise. There is also the blast double where you just ram your head into the opponent's centerline and continue to push forward (from a penetration step or a staggered stance). Going back to the interpretation demonstrated, reaching for the opponent's legs using an arrow stance makes your body stagnant, meaning you cannot close the distance, so there is no way to finish the takedown. With the lack of level-change and your face looking at the floor, the risk of neck exposure is maximised i.e. you are effectively serving your neck to the opponent on a silver platter - so the opponent can respond aggressively by causing a fatal cervical fracture (1:18), or in a safer sports context, snapping your head to the floor / sprawling / cow catchers / guillotines etc.

Thank you. We have a move in Karate Kata , KankuDai or KankuSho (the later has a little jump in modern sport variants).. but the more I practice double or single leg take downs, the more I see what you mean that there is a Level Change, a forward as well as circular unbalancing of the opponent / receiver. And generally, Jujitsu or ShuaiJiao people will say NO GAPs Of course rhe set up for throw or take down is extremely important or we end up like the BJJ guys who don't start from a standing position.. 🤔 in some Sport focused clubs
Important to understand the meaning to justify the move/technique as demonstrated here. ❤ Even more so to preserve the art keeping the essence. I come from Karate and have been saddened by much of its modernization, some good (the physio and sport science), some bad (sport, olympics). Coming back to kung fu is refreshing. A top Japanese Karate-ka (Kanazawa) practised Yang Style tai chi (learned from Yang MingShi in Tokyo) for decades... But he never taught or maybe never knew the applications... Other instructors hsve taught "Yo ming Shi" tai chi in karate circles and i doubt any of them know how to apply any of it.. The fish story 🐟 - i catch a small fish. But decades later, the story becomes i caught a 🦈 shark.😅 Thst is what Karate (even the ones with white Crane/BakHok) forms have become.. Keep sharing ❤❤ happy mid autum festival 🥮 🍁
