    These pictures are just for show and can't really be used as proof that kicking in wing chun needs a bridge. Kicking with bridging is ideal but how often or likely will that happen? Sometimes kicking...

    Although I can't say I do this, I can understand the drill under some assumptions:
    That it is a drill and the purpose is simply to get the entire body moving using fairly exaggerated movements to...

    When you got good wing chun, it helps make the other stuff better like throwing hooks, uppercuts etc.

    That said hooks and uppercuts can all be part of chain attacks. Its not just chain punching...

    A couple things:
    First off there's nothing wrong with adding styles to your own arsenal. I wouldn't consider myself or my teacher or school a "purist"

    yea i remember seeing this clip. Choreographed yes, but i think many WC'ers lack the ability to even do this. usually stiff, tense, choppy, etc. although won't translate to fighting, i think it's a...

    I don't really know too much about the idea behind "re-evolution" but just a quick note (if we can just step aside from the whole demo vs. free fighting on video argument for a second) - i've not...

    I see the point of the post. I just wanted to add a few things:

    1) it's not really about the strike. I agree, unless you got one helluva strike, that really won't do much

    2) if you watch how...

    unforunately i could only watch it with the volume down. But from what i could see, i have to say that utmost positive effect of that type of defense is "ya it might hurt the guy during the take...

    to answer the question "is it a good representation for WC application"?

    probably not..but you know what? i don't care.

    i think it's better for the art that he does do this, does post, and is...

    If the above is true, then couldn't you say if a tank is good on all on terrain, then shouldn't it be good for the streets?

    great feedback - i can say in my experience, even a slow, light hook off a chi-sao platform can slip in with relative ease once the angles are gone.

    and that's assuming:

    ok, beyond posting "fail" how about showing something better? even going to the effort of yourself having to knock out a wc guy with a hook would be good! at least it proves your point.

    i do have to ask though, with all the experts on here and all the talk of videos, why doesn't someone just take the time and just show how wing chun handles a boxer's hook? i'll even do the editing...

    yea it can. that's where the training comes in and the placement of the bands. When the training is good (IMO), you'll replicate the low elbow, lat muscle, knee pressure etc and translate that into...
