The understanding that Chinese martial arts are about 'attack and defence are one' probably hasn't reached some people. Chaotic street/bar situation, some objects around, limited time, as opponent's friends might already run toward you from differents sides. If you train with this kind situation in mind, everything becomes very different from boxing match or something like this. Focus is much more on how to deal with situation of short fast exchange of punches.
Check how it looks when even the best professional boxers find themselves in this kind of situation, and also at situations when they have advantagous situation. People would comments that at those moments "they forgot their boxing training'. Usually people don't understand this kind of situation, and don't realize how important is improving your skill in dealing with this kind of situation in real life situations. People should try to learn and think, before they start commenting.
@Thecrazyjords Having head protected isn't controversial. However during teaching process, quite big problem for me is that most students have too strong notion of keeping guard, which actually prevents them from learning the skills which we stress, which is getting advantage during exchange and reaction in various situations, when hands are far from the tight guard. As they tend to keep tight guard, they loose opportunity to work on this aspect and improve those skills.
@Thecrazyjords First put boxers in the kind situation I was talking about and observe how they fight then, instead of looking at everything from point of view of your boxing experience. There is a lot more to learn. You don't want to, you don't even need to watch the clips with yiquan. As for level or quality, only one of those who demonstrated really trained seriously for longer time. And for the reason of making a demonstration, in each pair they put one more advanced, one lower level.
@Thecrazyjords wow, i have deja vu or are all the boxers total jerks? i've read this exact comment like hundred times. boxing does heavier damage to brain than i thought...
