This video teaches one of the basic tenants of kung fu that I ' ve always hated . Direct parrying of punches . He teaches deflecting jabs by slapping the opponent ' s wrist out of the way . That seems incredibly dangerous for anybody but those with superhuman speed and timing . He teaches that the best defense against the hook is to immediately dive in closer . Which is great . Unless your opponent knows any kind of grappling at all . Or he ' s chambering an uppercut with his other hand . Or you mistime it and get utterly clobbered because you ' re literally stepping into his power . Or he sees you coming in and backs up or circles out . This instructor seems to only understand just enough boxing to convince himself of Kung Fu ' s superiority over it .
