Apparently, it was taken some 2.5 weeks before Ip's death. He was not well by any means, and not performing to standard. It is my understanding that this was supposed to be a reference video for students, but has since become a 'holy grail' for many who mistakenly consider his movements in that video to be 'proper form' =\ Still very interesting to watch :-)Jonathan Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761231105990576102noreply@blogger.com
