mabye hes on roids?
my sifu likes to compare wing chun to jazz.
many other arts are much like other types of music. you play and play and play and repeat practicing until you can play the song perfectly. then you...
i don't think its an art until it becomes just do it fighting. before that it's a mess :D
yeah well those people are p***ies :D i'd like to say i have a pretty good idea of how chi sau works, at least in my lineage (ip ching). personally, I like to play my chi sau at closer ranges - but...
the wooden dummy and biu jee are all about how to generate power. use your yiu ma.
while doing the wooden dummy, keep a solid connection to the ground, don't lose your root. use your yiu ma in...
ATP in my cells powers my muscles, which move my body in a way such that according to the laws of physics, my fist travels at an extremely fast velocity into your face.
additionally i place my...
thanks for the explanation,
it's nice to see a different approach now and then and unfortunatley not too many schools put their stuff online. none at school i go to have a digital recorder so no...
mabye it was just the camera angle, but quite often in the chi sau it seemed like the person doing the defending would just let their hands be covered and not try to regain the center. one person...
what was with the people letting themselves get chain punched?
also, do you ever chi sau at closer ranges?
not using the thumb while gripping the pole seems like a very good way to get your weapon knocked out of your hands.
as far as i knew, resistance bands and dynamic tension were different things. i have no problems with weight lifting or resistance bands.
however dynamic tension, especially during the slow...
bad idea.
dynamic tension is counterproductive to wing chun as we're trying to stay relaxed and only use the correct muscles and structure.
the human body likes to continue doing what it's been...
does anyone even train bridging the gap anymore? :D
or did that get replaced by grappling since everyone will only be trying to take you down and choke you out anyways :p
the clip is probably encoded in xvid or divx (since it's an AVI). these arent typically supported in basic quicktime or windows media player. go do a search for the codecs and download them. i'm...
he's not looking too healthy in either of those, esp the pole form :(
even so, thanks :D sifu STILL hasn't gotten around to showing me that video. hehe
Tom, that was absolutely hilarious :D
thanks for all the good replies everyone, but i was more interested in drills and footwork for bridging the gap :)
you're 2-3 steps away from your opponent. how do you get in there without being...
i know that. i was asking how do you train for this? any drills?
what do you do to train your footwork?
what do you emphasize/focus on when doing so?
i think my big problem with chain punches is they're a waste of energy. they can wear you out pretty quick.
i agree with ernie, why flail at someone with 100 punches when you can knock em down...
an uppercut elbow isn't always (or even often) possible in the clinch, in fact i think its one of the least effective elbows. it'll get stuck in their arms or chest and be jammed up. the kup...
allright, i can see it working against a telegraphed hook, if you aren't too tied up to take a step :)
against a more long range hook i've done things like this and they've worked nicely for me. ...
mabye we're thinking about differnet ranges. a tight hook is going to be thrown when your face is about 2-3 inches away from your opponent. there wont be room to biu. try getting in that close and...
i've eaten a lot of tight hooks in chi sau. you just don't see em coming :) if you're lucky enough to have a feeling ones coming, i like to raise elbow and take it on the inside of my arm, or catch...
personally, i agree if you never actually fight (or spar or whatever) you'll never really have a good picture of what you're training for.
however, in real life situations i think actually being...
