Walking is natural for human beings. We do not do "shock ups" as part of our daily life. Unless you would like to try it.



What does your version of the basic stance have to do with my initial...

Yenhoi,

I spar regularly, light to full contact. I do not shy away from it for fear of injury. Injuries are part of the game. That is not the issue of my posting. My primary inquiry was the danger...

KJ,

It seems we are both on the same planet. I have read many of your postings within this forum, you are the voice of reason. I have been training in martial arts for a great length of time....

Mr. Bao,

From your post, I see you follow a different methodology of Wing Chun. The exercise you call "shock ups" may be detrimental to the health of your shoulder joints. They may not have any...

Mr. Bao,

Your intentions are well understood. It is good to reach out to see how other people "play" their Wing Chun. We use the term "play kung fu" to mean a friendly exchange of ideas and...

Mr. Bao,

What are your intentions? Watch MMA or play kung fu?
Im here in NYC, Manhattan and Brooklyn to be exact.

It is difficult to quantify the amount of time to gain fighting proficiency, let alone proficiency in Wing Chun fundamentals. It all depends on the instructor's teaching methodology and the aptitude...

I have an Immortal Dummy, and I found the arms set a bit too high for the way I play the form. I am 5 feet, 11 inches tall and prefer to sit lower in my horse when practicing. The Immortal is...

How is the "neutral" stance taken to be an "advanced stance"??
Especially when it is the only stance that is held in the first form. The first form, SNT, where the beginning student learns the...

Monkey Man,

The Immortal Dummies' weight is the same as a standard wooden dummy made of oak. You will need two people to pick it up. I too needed a free standing dummy, since my walls do not...

Check out Immortal, they make a good alternative to wooden dummies. I am very happy with mine.

Greetings,

Does your WC training follow and adhere to the principles and concepts as described in the Kuen Kuit? I want to know if today's practitioners utilize or deviate from it.

Kuen, Starbuck,

Thanks for the tips! I will look into both.

Lindley57,

Thanks again for the advice. My sifu did say that the true heavy poles is ideal, but he understands the difficulty in finding and obtaining one. He said a "lighter" one could be used...

Excellent posting, with really good explanations about forward energy. It is good to hear it is being utilized. "Forward intent" is more of a mindset. It is being mentally focused, to move your...

Lindley57,

Thanks for the reply. We have poles that vary in weight, but I do know that the heavier ones is preferable. Just wanted an idea what the consensus was on an ideal weight. The issue is,...

There are several good Wing Chun schools in New York City. Particularly in Queens, there is the Moy Yat Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) School in Bayside.

Greetings,

What is, if there is any, the standard length and weight of the Wing Chun pole? I have an opportunity to purchase one at a very low price. It is made of oak, but it felt light in my...

Felipe,

I am very surprised and happy to hear that Kung Fu is being taught in the Domincan Republic. How much of it is there?
You are very fortunate to have an excellent teacher.

I was born in...

Gou Quan,

Excellent craftmanship with your dummy. It is truly a work of art. But my only problem, other than it not being round, is the base that you are using to support the dummy. I know it is...

Mun Hung,

"When you do drills in class, is there any hard contact? I mean real punches and kicks.
Also, I've watched some drills on various WC videos and noticed that most of the time punches...
