For me, this is the best performed Long Fist video on Youtube by a student. (name of the form: Yi Lu Mai Fu / 一路埋伏) Long Fist is a Chinese Muslim fighting art and has influenced a large part of various Chinese Kung Fu styles. Shaolin, Praying Mantis, Choi Lee Fut... just to name a few.
Long Fist is also a great style to train as a basic foundation. As a preparation for getting your body ready for another style. It teaches you to use elongated power, correct body alignment and body mechanics.
For fighting, it teaches you the principle of "crash and bang", which is the first simple approach of fighting, this means hitting and kicking in a direct fashion. After that grappling can be applied: jointlocks combined with punches and kicks, then more focused on joinlocks and Shuai Jiao (Mongolian wrestling, predecessor of Judo - but with more emphasis on take downs). All this can be found in Long Fist. Of course, like all great fighting arts, you need to get it unlocked by following a good master.
