No lies (not that anyone will be able to tell, it being a forum and all), but at least make an effort
Here is my five cents.
On engine
Why do I use snake engine or rattan body or force line type power generation.
Because without it, my body break down when i face opponent who is almost 100lb more heavy then me, And also in close body I have no handling. I am convince without the snake engine, my Wck doesn't go far, and technics doesn't work well.
I can use kyokushin power generation since i am a kyokushin, but that is only going to work if my opponent is my size and it is difficult if the opponent is younger or more althelic. And doesn't fit if I am using Wck.
On power handling
The seven bows is the key. Otherwise one cannot develop a good handling on receiving and issuing . Holding structure can only get one to do push back and sustain , but not receiving and issuing, that is because receiving and issuing needs to have all seven bows activate, align , and operate in sequence. Not to mention when acceleration is needed for short Jin issuing .
Enjoy Hendriks experience ;)
Are you another tc101?

If you were to go to a cricket forum and see people arguing over whose ideas for hitting were better and talking about engines and ground rebound energy and the seven bows you'd think quite rightly they were crazy. If these same people kept saying that only they had the right idea and people playing pro cricket were doing it all wrong that it wasn't real cricket and so forth you'd quite rightly think they were crazy.
Wing chun is no more complicated or complex than boxing or wrestling or cricket or baseball.
Get out of here with your crazy armchair theories. I want to sit here in my armchair and hear a story about you punching someone in the face. Or better yet, see a video clip. Get to itQuote:

This is relevant because "foom foom foom" is wing chun.
Top story, sounds really realQuote:

Haha.. So anyway the mugger swings the stick at my student who just raises his arm to block it , now realizing he is being mugged, the stick busts the watch off his wrist and my student then simply punches the guy hard in the face and as a result of the punch the mugger/ fool, falls down, then my student got in his car and drove off.
Funny because "Big Mike" is the last guy you would think was going to be mugged. Newark is a tough area !
the likelihood of douch3b@gg3ry at a Newark dunkin donuts plus the stick mugger guido fail together all says that the likelihood of this story being true is very high...Quote:

Some chest pumping thread.
Well there was that time....
Nah.
I was alot younger and out drinking. local hardman walks in with loud and gobby friend. Lots of intimadtion and games played until my friend (black belt tkd) Bacl fists one while sitting down. Hardman takes my friend down and starts smashing him. His friend starts throwing bar stools at me. I jump out way. My other friend (only had one hand and walked on a crutch) runs in and takes the stool thrower down. Im left to pull hardman of my friend...
I slam in chain punches and biu gee elbow followed by fak sau. He took it and smiled and kept walking towards me. Lucy for me the door men jumped in and ejected them from club. The bar manager brought us a beer.
lesson i learnt..... needed more stopping power. should not have taken that long. needed to have more tools in my tool box. This is one of many reasons i started to improve my own knowledge of martial arts.
This one time in band camp............................
What a pointless thread! :confused::eek:
We agree again..... Is it a leap year or something?????Quote:

Was sparring this big ole beef cake muscle dude the other day...guy was very strong at wrestling...I went light on him at first dude picked me up off the ground and slammed me...
After that we broke he came in again. I stop going light and started controlling his neck and his structure by attacking his head, an removing his guard. He tried to bob and weave I chained link striked to gauge the time of his head motion an backed him up against a wall and applied a few po pai techniques to him against the wall...
This happen like this past saturday...nothing else to report!
my only experience with wing chun was my first tai chi teacher, he punched very fast, especially the chain punch.
so a lot of wing chun people chase ideas and look down on spamming the chainpunch, but effective wing chun peple I met all emphasize the chain punch, and extreme speed
Now that sounds really real.Quote:

All in all, I've been pretty successful with my wing chun though. I do agree with others on here that it is more a developmental system. The biggest thing i think being body unification and overall upright balance. I know people have berated my kung fu brother for talking about rotation. But i do have to agree with much of what he said. I do think its dumb and dangerous to just go head first into someone over and over again. And if your going to stay there in range and not retreat why wouldnt there be rotation! I think the footwork is top notch to support that too.
Anyway, to be honest, the hardest person i've sparred has been my brother. He's very unconventional. More like a jackie chan, if you will. The king of shin kicks and wrist grabs and if an object is laying around, game over!
I had a good experience today. It was my first day back (class) grappling after having stopped many years ago. I managed to pull off a choke submission on one guy, an arm lock on another and very nearly a triangle choke on a third. Needless to say I got submitted too. It was very much a day of rediscovering certain muscles and having to take a long hot bath afterwards. I wish I was in my 20s again.
