So I teach at a BJJ school on Friday nights. This observation seems subjective. There's 12-14 year old girls in my class.


Sorry that happened. Were there sparring rules?



I'm with you...

Do you categorize based upon perception or engagement? Good to see you.

Once you learn the first lesson of the two taps, and to check your ego at the door, you are pretty much good anywhere. Have fun on the ground and mix it up with others. There's some great grappling...

I enjoy training both wing chun and BJJ / grappling arts both with and without the gi. I actually train them at different times with different groups of people. It's not really strategic, just how...

And a Happy New Year to all including us tourists on the site LOL!

Hi guys.

Yeesh.

JPinAZ and I are current students of GM Garrett Gee / Chu King Hung - who is depicted in the above family tree. I can't speak for him but I can say I have personally heard...

Wife's family is on the Jersey side of Philly - get out there every other year. Have fun.

This.

William Cheung himself says that he learned TWC from Yip Man later on in his life.

We believe him.

I was actually following this up on that other forum. He did post up his roll with a GB professor. It was a private video so wasn't going to post it here - let him if he wants.

The sequence is...

So LFJ what your lineage progression on chi sau? Thx.

Hey Bino,

I'm with you on the multi-faceted aspects and applications of chi sau.

But dooooooooooddddddeeeeeee. Last paragraph there?

On the ground side of things I'm happy to have some...

This. Maybe some chi sau preventing grips in grip fighting. But I also am a BJJ instructor and LOL at anyone giving me a problem on the ground with only a chi sau training background.

I would say it depends. For Saul Goodman I have no idea of his method of practicing chi sau. To him it may be a pummeling drill. However, I wrestle also, and do BJJ. If you really have to limit...

It's probably more common that we will see novice instructors disconnected from history.

We are in a time where there isn't war everywhere so people are flocking to sportive activities with...

Yes. No influence of opponent's elbow position and hence no influence of opponent's centerline with primarily wrist on wrist contact. Down the arm starts to influence center more.

I would agree. Over-emphasizing controlling the hands leads to chasing hands, which leads to losing centerline control. If your huen sao has more to do with sticking to your opponent than it does...

Cool video. Bruce Lee timeframe

I've stopped viewing chi sau as a sensitivity training exercise. To me the point of chi sau is the point where 2 hands control 1 hand, or 1 hand controls the center of gravity.

This is...

interesting. this also describes a wrestlers frame.

listen softly grasshopper to the sound of one hand clapping.

everything has structure. here, however, we are focusing on the structure necessary to prevent someone from giving you a "Glasgow...

Light touch practicing huen sao? Running around?

No centerline there. It certainly is different from what we practice. I can hear GM Garrett Gee's voice echoing in my head "we live AND die on...

Gene,

Thanks for the links. I'm sure eventually I'll have to pick up a copy whenever either a) I can afford $80 for a book or $60 for an online book or b) it comes down in price.

You know I do have to agree with you on the boxing and wrestling side. They don't hide much there, they tend to express their arts as there are no secrets, just hard work.
Although in general I...

So the detail of this one is kind of interesting - I have played golf as a hobby since a child. Why did my mind single this out as a "secret" as opposed to good fundamental instruction? I asked...

Aha another reason for secrets. Film flam artistry where someone without real skills and knowledge fakes people into thinking they have it by secrets. This reason is certainly on the darker side of...
