Yeah those guys are Frank's students. They are working at their own level, and as we all know you gotta start somewhere. These clips are not competitive contests, they are friendly slap boxing, and should be taken as such. These videos are NOT sparring.
Freestyle fighting with Frank is quite a different experience. He hosts boxing every week, and it's considerably higher contact than what goes on in these vids. His school contains a plethora of Chinese martial arts training and a complete system of Western fight training, primarily boxing, but also military combatives (weapons) and some western wrestling.
Not many martial arts teachers take all comers every week, whether in Asia or the USA. Frank is one of the few, and if you ever hit the Lower East Side in NYC, I'd recommend a stop by the WTPCA on boxing night. Word of advice, watch the left hook....
