I have looked around to try to find anyone similar to what my instructor (Steve Smith - The Little Dojo) can do. As I train in Karate based Martial Arts - I am seeing and training in more of what he knows on the Kung fu side(aka The Little Dojo) of his training.
Dr. Yeung Demonstration is very similar in many ways what Sifu Smith teaches. I enjoyed this very much, I hope everyone does too.
Demonstration by Dr. Yeung, renouned master, teacher of Internation Champions who collectively took 370 gold medals from 1992 - 1998. Dr. Yeung’s demonstration includes Fa Jing, Monkey Style Kung Fu, Drunken Style Kung Fu, Northern Mantis Kung Fu, Snake style Kung Fu, Chin Na, and Wing Chun Kung Fu at the Newcastle University Sports Festival, England.

Once upon a training, one of the higher rank black belts was waxing eloquent about some karate-related thing, when the sensei came up next to him. Sensei formed his hand into the shape of a duck bill and moved it...
Conventional wisdom handed down to us by highly respected karate instructors since the advent of sport karate says that if a Karate expert wishes to be skilled at sparring, he must first master the kata. Usually there is a short declaration that without proper kata training, sparring will lack technical precision. Those who shun kata [...]

Submission Wrestling from W&L Tournaments 13-2 Norbertissimo 9 min - Nov 25, 2007
This is an extract from a W&L video: Cadors 1. Fighters: Fight 1 : Pascal du Kosto des Lascards vs Christophe 2 des Mâtins Terrifiques. Fight 2 : Sylvain 2 de la Fosse aux Molosses vs Ara des Mâtins Terrifiques. Fight 3 : Fabrice des Castagneux Sentimentaux vs Benoît des Mâtins Terrifiques. From their website: http://www.W-and-L.com W&L tournaments are out of this world : the fighters prefer to face each other with neither rules nor referee, and the winner is the guy who manages to score the greatest number of submissions in the space of 25 minutes. All holds are permitted and in some particularly aggressive matches, fighters don't think twice about using their fists, feet, elbows, shins and indeed heads for additional firepower ! In fact, the absence of a referee allows all sorts of bad behaviour ! What's more, the time allowed for these matches is usually long enough to allow each fighter's more primal and passionate characteristics to emerge : arrogance, frustration, pride, humiliation -- all very much in evidence amongst guys who don't trust each other one inch ; who use their voices regularly to intimidate as well as to insult, and who prolong particularly painful holds with relish and breathtaking cruelty ! W&L encounters are much more than straightforward fights ; they're titanic clashes of ego and temperament which slowly-but-surely descend to the level of brutal streetfights ! And as submissions alternate between one fighter and another, so the suspense (as well as the score) builds ! Such is the essence of W&L tournaments. http://www.W-and-L.com
