WC's bread & butter techniques
I was wondering what WC's "bread and butter" techniques are? What techniques are "high percentage" as MP would say. If, because of adrenaline dump and other stressful factors when you are fighting--not sparring, you can only rely on your gross motor skills...what are WC's gross motor skills? What are your gross motor skills?
I haven't "fought" since beginning WC. I have sparred and found that chain punches and a front kick go a long way. They set up phon sao and throwing.
Thanks for your responses.
If you really want to know.....
Well guys (or gals, no assumptions here)
I train with Ernie every week for about the last year or so and I can tell you from personal experience what he said is very true. The question at hand is what “technique” does he find himself using most often and the answer is simple. He does not use any technique, move, kick, footwork, arm lock or even what he described as the non techniques such as speed, timing power etc more often than any other. The best way to describe what Ernie does have already been stated here by Ernie himself. He simply fills in the gaps that are left by the opponent. I have been on the receiving end of Ernie on many occasions and I cannot honestly say “well he does seem to favor Pak Sau often as an entry or Lop Sau seems to work great in most situations. I have never seen Ernie do the same thing twice even when I was stupid enough to do try the same thing to him twice in a row!! There is always more than one way to attach someone even when they are repeating the same thing to you. It is all in relating to your opponent. How you attack will only be dictated by time and space. What position you are in and what position your opponent is in. How they attach and how you respond is automatic and without any preconceived idea on what is correct or seems to work best. I understand the question and the answer you are looking for and in my opinion once you have reached a certain level of understanding (which I have yet to attain myself) you will find yourself not using any particular aspect of Wing Chun or any other fighting style you may be in more often than any other, you simply relate to your opponent. Just my two cents.
