Knivefighter sez: What rules prevent simultaneous blocking and punching?

csk: None that I know of in the sporting context. However, I do know many games that prevent simultaneous parrying &...

Just stick with the subject question, Stevehans.

Can you reason why -- in your own words -- why the wing chun concept of simultaneous parry & hit is low % when applied in the manner in which it...

Sure, lots of styles, including boxing and MT, have simultaneous blocks and strikes. There is a time and a place for them. Just for the most part they are low percentage tactics -- difficult to pull...

Chisau is many things to many people. How it’s trained is down to the comprehension & skill level of the individual. Another way to see chisau is that of a tool – a tool to bring out your wing chun...

LOL, I remember Zopa quite well on the other wing chun mailing list. He was a very good communicator, and I was always impressed with his writing skills.

Had a quick glance at his site......Well...

Compared to developing real wing chun skills, Fighting is easy.

Get anyone from a poor background, with little hope and care for society…..put him in the following program:

Well, sorreee. I’m no champion street fighter like some on this forum. Like knivefighter said, I’m just a theoretical fighter nobody, who obviously don’t have his ‘countless’ challenge fight...

Yeah, Victor, I'm disappointed at your lack of action.

Should have got into the guard position after your dump and show the jerk what cacth wrestling is all about.

So what if you have to roll...

Bah, who needs wing chun......

How relevant is your comprehension of wing chun in deciding how you train?

How relevant is unarmed combat when iron bars\hand guns are so readily available?

I comment was related & relevant to my previous post.

If you turn up the volume for that clip, you can even hear Wong sifu say 'Li' as he 'pulls' his rear hand back whilst his forward arm is in a fully stretched punch.

My comment was made in reference to the WSL clip shown & specifically his lineage's terminology. Doesn't mean other's can't call the drill whatever they want.
If one can understand the way the...

arrow punching or battle punching?

The clue is in the excercise. When you have one arm out-stretched in the punch, and one held back at the side of your ribs, what does the pose look like?

Have we really learnt anything from this clip? Like all the other grappler VS kungfu clips?

Spencer sez: Here's a clip of me at The Opening Ceremony of the Millennium Dome (O2 Arena)

Yes, and we all know what happened to the 'Dome'.

I like this demo! Sifu Fong seems to have the ability to absorb force in the same way as all good wing chun people: G. Lam, TST, Yip Man. Even though his opponent is bigger than him, and pressing...
