the only real fight I've ever been in was a 1 hit KO. the guy came in swinging, I slipped the punch and hit him just right; mostly luck, I think, as I didn't have a lot of training under my belt.

i think awareness of the thumb is very important, but more so you don't catch it on your opponents or your own limbs and rip it off. Even hanging your thumb in someone's shirt can fu<k you up pretty...
Are they square to the target ala YGKYM or in a kinda 'kick boxer 45' stance.
I find if I'm ****ed at an angle, the push off the back foot lets me toss off wicked evil 1 in punches :D They scare...
think of this bit as anything BUT 'freeing arm'.
almost every sifu has several interpretations of this. one you mght think about is studying the timing of hand replacement.
like lots of things...
when i first started sparring guys (after about 1 yr vingtsun) i had similar issues. My resolution seems similar to yours as well. When I actually started moving forward ala wingchun (instead of...
use your own elbow.
throw a lan sau up under his arm and you can push him back easily as well as open up targets under his arm.
The knee is a simple joint in that it only moves in one plane. This simplicity also makes it much more stable than say, the shoulder.
If you hit a bent knee from the front you gotta have pretty...
The guy I mentioned isn't as capable of learning as most. The desire is there but the ability is impaired.
The WWF wannabees (they aren't really, but I'll stick to my irreverent tag) also want to...
How do you trust the system without learning it?
How do you learn the system without studying it's component parts?
How do you study those parts without some discussion and explanation of what...
Why would the handicapped guy be any different than my WWF guy?
Presupposing that the handicapped guy ISN'T capable of hanging with the rest of the class, he would be an impediment to everyone...
First, some have recommended booting students who don't fit in. I'm not sure I agree. We have a retarded guy who certainly doesn't learn anything, but has a blast. We also have a couple of d0rks that...
"as a wing chun fighter, your job is to take advantage of that opening to take contol of his body so he can't react back. "
Golly, thanks, that was enlightening. And I didn't feel overloaded with...
Train harder. Develop your ninja mind control powers and no one will be able to bother you ever again, much less involve you in a complicated legal battle. :)
In all seriousness, I totally...
I know of 3 guys at my school who've been mobbed. 5-8 guys to 1. 2 of those cases ended up in court. Both times the single guy was held just as responsible, financially (fines, man, fines), as the...
No flames. Whats the deal? :(
OK OK...ahem...
Ryu, you miserable trash talking rat fink, how could you post such irresponsible nonsense?!?!?
:mad:
I hereby formally challenge you to...
I was browsing thru a KF rag the o'day and saw a Leung Ting ad where he's got his hands up in a kinda chain punch pose. I noticed that he has the pinkies of his fists loose, almost open.
This is...
You mean pigua isn't just another spelling of pakua? :mad: :( :)
Oy vey.
MMMkay, I know enough ABOUT taiji, pakua and hsingi to relate to people in conversation, but what is baji?
And for some reason, I feel that there is a bunch of stomping in it. Am I severely...
"While I agree that whenever I see schools mixing so much, it makes me nervous, I've noticed that to certain people, if you preface it with "JKD", its OK. "
ROTFLMAO
:D
So true. Why is that?
"There are universities for kung fu?"
There's a new university that just opened up in Japan for NINJAS!
Fu<k kungfu - be a NEENJA! :D
I don't think I'd actually use a fingerstrike unless I had someone under control AND had to kill them.
I'm too worried that I'll miss the eye and hit the forehead or some such nonsense. OWWW!...
Wouldn't it be great to slip into one of those schools and play the sheep for a while. Just take it to the point where they start to get abusive and then blow up on their a$$es.
It'd be great just...
I think you may have shot yourself in the foot here.
The pole is pretty advanced stuff. For you to get a satisfying answer it may follow that you need a response from an advanced student. It...
Merry -
Just so you know, low level MA is what YOU do and hi level is what I do. ;)
Or at least thats what my sifu says...nyuk nyuk nyuk.
