This style comes from coolies carrying heavy weights on their back on both sides of a pole. The two extended arms on each side of the pole here are used powerfully. The feet are solid on the ground and stable as when carrying weights. Brisk movement corresponds to offloading the cargo or transferring carried weight. Another hypothesis is the movements come from imitating the male bird parade during the mating season. The feet movement are very beautiful. I would like to learn this style.

But don't forget, same thing applies for all martial arts tournament matches. Elbows and knee strikes are taught, in Karate and TKD, but most of those techniques are banned from use during competition. I can see where they are coming from though; it's a sport, so they are trying to minimize serious injuries or accidental deaths.

Well repetition is one thing. But you still need application. Try to find people who know the martial art and apply what you practiced. Best one to start off with is have the person do the one-two punch (left hand-right hand; since it is the most common first attack to any fight) and use what you learned to either block/intercept/counter. Different people = different height, strength and habits. Also don't be afraid to get hit. No matter how good you are at martial arts, you will get hit.

I agree with the taught correctly. But I also want to add, understanding/comprehension on the students part. Lots of traditional arts mask their moves into what is mostly incomprehensible so ppl can't steal the techniques. What looked like a flailing arm in Wushu turned out to be 1 takedowns and 2 arm breakers (used as combo or separately; it's very effective). I would not have known that it was used in those ways if I did not think about how to use it and ask my Sifu to expand on it.

Buddhists and Taoists also talk about the internal force Qi/Chi that moves in meridians in our body. So in that sense, these martial arts emerged from these 'religions'.
