yeah, I tend to agree with you Jiujitsu but he has an idea which works to a certain extent. His softness and flowing will keep you from getting anything useful on his arms but it would really just delay what's gonna happen in that situation. My Chi Sau really, really helped my sport sambo/judo game, so I like what the guy is doing but it just doesn't seem to be there yet, at least against an experienced mma guy.

My main question is, where does he go from there? yes he can play with the arms but where's the fight finisher? He's teaching self defense so it's not about tapping someone out.

Honestly though, how often to you get into street fights with experienced martial artist? Also his target audience is tai chi people who are not gonna be wrestling mma guys, so really is this instruction a terrible thing?
