Some ideas why we practice two techniques

Hi everyone,

Please take a moment to review the analysis of two techniques on our site. It is under our Articles collection. The analysis was written by my SiFu Allan Lee.

The two techniques are hypothetical situations we practice daily to better understand how to apply Wing Chun techniques and principles.

The first technique supposes that the attacker can:

• Fake a front snap kick and continue w/ a punch
• Fake a punch and follow with a kick
• Commit a front snap kick and followed by follow up kick or punch
• Commit a punch and follow up with a punch or a kick

The response is Evade and cover to lure the opponent into a trap where the defender will spring the trap by crashing in while covering.

The second technique supposses that the attacker can:

• Fake a hand technique and follow up with the left or right punch.
• Commit a hand technique and follow up with secondary hand technique

The response by the defender is Pak Sau Pak Sau Arrow punch all the while covering his exposed areas.

Discussion welcome...

Enjoy ... Marcus

Hi everyone,

The animated clip for the pak sau pak sau Arrow punch analysis have been uploaded to the site. It helps to see what the technique looks like when its animated. So now there is the animated clip and SiFu Lee's analysis

Also, keep in mind that the pictures are blurry in some instances because we extract the individual frames from a camera. Think of the blurryness as a byproduct of trying to capture fast movement.

Hello CW,

I don't know what you mean about bobbing. Anyone else see head bobbing here?

Hello Redtornado,

Are you a student/grandstudent of my SiBak William Cheung? I know he emphasizes watching the elbow.

hi marcus

good site and clips

just a question about these drills -

I've been taught (and have found through sparring experience) that blocking/evading/deflecting an on coming attack without counter attack is not a game I want to play. obvously you cannot always immediately counter attack, but with correct stepping you can place yourself in a position to do as soon as possible. multiple blocks before leading to a strike will result in you being dominated by an opponent with varied combo's etc. you never know where the next attack is coming from until you read it (not much time!!) every stance has openings.

if you can counter attack mid combo - then not only do you inflict possible injury (or points in a comp, whatever...), its likely that you will slow down or stop that barrage of attacks and your strike (whether arm or leg) will create further openings for you to exploit.

maybe this is something you already train extensively, i just thought the above drills were deviating from this idea.

good post :D

Yes, more leg control necessary.

:D WOW ,,Very good eyes and that is right !!Same Linage..

Have a good daY!! jeff:D
