Good work Bino. Good to share with people of different backgrounds.
Enjoyed the video. Especially the humorous clips. Well produced. Have to say that I agree that in self defense, your attacker will never see the man-wu-sau guard. And an area of disagreement. I've...
OK, much as I like Keith, I gotta admit this comment is spot on.
I don't fully understand it, but some of your remarks really get him worked up. Are you sure you aren't doing it on purpose?
Oh, oh, oh! "A very simple answer" ....one anybody who had trained the real, authentic, WSL-VT would know ...but nobody else! Like a secret password or handshake. Coo-o-ool! Tell us what it is....
Really!?!
Good thing LFJ jumped in to "clarify" so that you don't come across as a total fool.
This is true. the problem is finding other VT/WC/WT people to fight you. Heck, around here, even some of my former hing-dai won't even do chi-sau or spar with me (or other outsiders, infidels,...
VT works against grapplers too if you can use your standup game to shut down their grappling game. Limit options! Force reactions!!
Now can LFJ or somebody else come up with a Cantonese kuen...
Thanks Keith. It looks good, but a bit pricey for a plastic trunk set-up. Also, I will need a set up with easy height adjustment suitable for people from around 5'6" to 6'3". So I guess I'll keep...
Related to #1 above, someone who can set you up and then shoot a good takedown. Too many WC/VT fighters are head-hunters who leave their legs exposed. If they train against takedowns, they too often...

Guess I do have a dirty mind then. My first thought was.... good lord, a giant Dil-dummy!!! Who needs that? Just get yourself an aroused porn star as a training partner and stand him on a crate!

Thanks for posting those. Good to see some real WC.
Good question, Dave. I've been away from this forum for a long time, so it's nice to stop back in and see that good discussion still happens here.
Now to the topic. From my perspective, the WC...
I assume that when my partner controls center, he will hit me. The fact that he hasn't should mean that he hasn't gained control ...or else what the heck is he doing????
And you are right, it's a...
Who says you control center? And I can't shift my center to get an angle on you? It's ridiculous to argue words. Here I'm just looking at a video, reading what you are saying, ...but if we don't...
Not run away, run around... and control center. But the real problem is trying to resist rather than using your opponent's force. The moment you resist, you stiffen and loose springy energy and...
If your opponent jerks down your tan-sau, why do you resist when it is so much easier to go with his force? Just roll into bong or release and run around, etc.
In the WC I studied, resisting...
Actually, "sticking" sometimes works better with longer weapons. With the long pole there is chi-kwun. With longer swords, in HEMA, there is crashing in and working from the bind. Some systems try to...
No, it was not.
Origins are a murky and endlessly debatable topic. I'm not going there. But I will say that WC does not share key characteristics of weapons-first martial arts such as many...
This forum needs a "thank-you" button, big time. And an "agree" button. Both you and Phil make great points. I especially like the "lan-sau" and the "bong-sau" like movements within the "European...
See, a lot of it is situational. I like what you are saying JP, but I also think Phil made a great point about handling a tight hook like an elbow. What I don't feel comfortable with are any of the...
Amicable... did I hear that word? Yes that's how I'd handle a boxer. Amicably. you know, buy him a beer. Yep, a beer for boxerbilly! Why not? Fighting a good boxer would really suck. Now CLF? Not...
YOU'RE WRONG!
Sorry, but you asked for it. :p
OK, truth be told, your posting here has really livened up this forum. Please continue. And about those injuries. I have more than a few myself....
Just curious. You post a lot of interesting clips. But you seldom add much commentary. Scanning the thread, it seems a bit random. Is there a connection between this stuff, or particular point you...
What Alan does has more visible WC in it than some of his fighters. And, I think if he were working bare handed -- without gloves, you would see more tans and paks. Of course, bare handed training...
