Ok, I give the credit to this thread to Andrew aka anerlch. I got the idea from him.
But it would be nice to see each others approaches to various situations. I'll post my ideas to certain situations in some clips real soon.

Favorite? Depends on context....
Isn't that so?

The WC Tan Shou is simpliar to Taiji Peng. The WC Fu Shou is simpliar to Mantis Diao. Both can be used in many different ways.
The Ving Tsun punch of course!!!!;)
I find myself using a few top tool in sparring:
Punch
Pak
Jum
Bong
turning punch and the kicks
I don't believe I have a favorite technique. I don't really think in those terms. I just use whatever I need at that moment. I like them all..
"Little cannon".:)
The right punch... like the man said , when i started VT a punch was just a punch, then i discovered there was a lot more to it and a punch wasn't a simple punch anymore, after a reprogramming, training, sweat, it became a simple punch again :D
chain punch with step
I know some call it Caveman(low level) wing chun but it has saved me a few times in street attacks
The one that fits in with the moment.
tok/palm or jin choi
How about we go with certain attacks? Let's start with a jab, hook/round punch to the head from the opponent's lead arm.
The ones that land and shut off an opponent's delivery base are the best techniques.
Low cross kick to the inside of the knee.
I'm with Joy on this one.Quote:
That will only bring about a MMA response? Why say that?
Unless you're snapping leg bone strength twigs with your kicks, probably not an attack thats going to do a lot. (Yes i know its ideally to the side of the knee which is weaker in many instances).
It is easier to blow a joint than snap a bone. But they have to be bearing weight on that limb.
It has nothing to do with snapping or breaking a bone or joint, though that should be the "intent" be hind it.
Just like hooking the ribs or right cross to the jaw has nothing to do with breaking those parts, though that should be the intent.
I was in a confrontational mood lasy night Joy! But I'm sure most guys here will be fine with the comment, MMA peeps or not.
I would like to think so, but I'm pretty out of shape at the moment. :o
Agreed. Nothing like a pair of British DMs to add weaponry to the feet :D
Quansau with a low side kick is not signature of Wing Chun? I beg to differ. ;)
Having/holding posture while applying legwork is a must imo, as each posture compliments the leg. Some work better than others imo and may be a reason that a kicking set/form was developed, to express this idea.
And I would listen to MMA guys tell me about my Wing Chun because... ?
One of my favor WC technique that I like is similiar to the Taiji "cross leg - reverse side kick". Instead of kicking 45 degree into your opponent's knee, you use the inside of your foot edge to slide down along your opponent's shin bone.
The posture compliments the leg... Well it depends on how she moves I guess...
In VT if we are in close we will be using our tools to break him down and strike him while we use our legs not simply covering....
The invisible kick, when we kick we have three legs on the ground, etc... That's VT.
If you were sparring with them I am sure they could tell you all kinds of useful things.... Sadly not the case... But in any event you brought it up.
Man, what is your issue with my posts these days? :(
I simply responded to sanjuro's fav tech and you jump on my use of quansau and how MMA guys would just dismiss the idea and now you're trying to teach me what your VT is??!! I applaud your enthusiasm for your VT, but it's pretty obvious we're on different sides of the coin.
Sorry, but if and when I do spar there definitely is no talking. You threw the MMA towel at me because you took the bait Joy identified, but hey! Each to their own.
No one for a wing chun version of monkey steals peaches?
Would that be a variation of/combo with "gwai ma" (kneeling horse)?
That'll be Gwaima Biusau Cum Na Sik!!! :D With a roll off to finish...
Drum roll or bacon roll? :p
Must be lunchtime if I'm posting about food.
Bacon every time dude. But that's breakfast! Lunchtime is for wimps :D
Arguments about MMA?? You must be reading a different thread :confused:
Just a difference of opinion between me and Yung Chun, who seems to approach his training with mainly sparring in mind. No biggie
In my lineage everything is a precursor to sparring. Sparring with the hands, with the long pole and with the knives. This is very important!!! Without it you have a system that cannot function under pressure. Prove me otherwise!!!
There are certain systems of WC that put more emphasis on forms and tradition but from my experience its the same as driving a car on the PS3 then thinkng you can drive a real car on the roads!!!
End of!!

Yes, I practised like that too although we always refer to sparring as an 'interaction'. Set by set in the early days and more freestyle as you gain confidence. We 'sparred' one against two with the pole until someone had their eyelid torn out and we realized there must be a 'safer' alternative.
You should put up some of this weaponry sparring for us to see what you mean. I think you're a bit keen to come across as a competent fighter when actually you're just playing around with sticks. Correct me if I'm wrong.
And your lineage is Sifu Bayer is it not?
