Of course the "mechanics" of a punch CAN be the same with gloves on or without. My question to you is SHOULD the mechanics be the same? If not, then you should train with your answer to that...

Fantastic!

Patches may help too....

That's some good stuff T.

I've been working this method, but never had a good analogy or a good explanation for people stuck in the WC is boxing/kickboxing mind.

ps - I love boxing/kickboxing...

I've always felt that finding similarities in things tends gets you closer to "truths" than dwelling on differences.

I often use the analogy "spokes on a wheel". We can all start from different...

In TWC, we step and turn so that our wrist is still at our center, but our center is now facing the side of the punching arm. This allows the punch to travel where our head WAS but we are in the...

I agree with this 100%

From a standup fighter perspective, I think of the pummeling drill as a way of learning more about positioning and balance in that bridge/grapple range, with an emphasis on...

Good thought....one I've actually played with and really enjoyed.

If your end goal is not "to grapple", can you take the standard pummeling drill and look for elbows, knees, better positioning and...

You teach in English if that's what your students speak...your going to explain the exercise anyway...

...I would "require" Chinese speakers to "jab"...whatever that word is in Chinese...

Can you do wing chun without chi sau?

Seriously?

Sifu Redmond - Yip Man or no Yip Man, do you see any worth in the training?

Again, I don't know about the legs high in the air stuff. We do an exercise from time to time just to get a feel for...

First, if the spelling is wrong, I apologize. Some WC buddies and I have been discussing chi gerk lately and I thought it would make for an interesting topic.

Train it / Don't train it / Don't...

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Just wanted to follow up and say I ordered the Gymboss timer and it's great. Small enough to fit in your pocket and it has a vibrate mode in case you want to use...

Gymboss - Now that's what I'm looking for. Perfect.

Axiak Boxing & Martial Arts Timer

Still a little more than I'd like to pay (it's $59), but much less than some gym timers with the features I want.
...

I'm looking to get a personal timer that has selectable round times and rest times to make it easier to workout at home on my heavy bag. The professional gym ones I'm finding all cost over $100. I...

Why would anyone just video two guys standing around? Hmmmm.....seems a little strange to me.

I've had people push my girl before, and I shoved them back quickly, but I didn't haul off and...

Thanks man,

I'd love to get my hands on an old Bonnie and fix 'er up! I love the look of the old cafe racers. Triumph has recently tried to bring back the style with the new Thruxtons. Good...

Turning the collision insurance back on today and picking up my '03 Triumph Speed Four tomorrow morning. Been garaged all winter to keep it out of the Pennsylvania elements. I can't wait.

Its...

A little outside Philly. I've checked it out and the people are friendly, the place is clean, they seem to work out hard, and the instructor is a nice guy. I'd probably train here if I ever get...

I've found wrestling shoes to be the most comfortable and practical. Both for you and for your training partners!

1) They have rounded sides to the bottom. This allows you to kick your parter...

Check out Sifu Keith Mazza's school in Mount Laurel, NJ. I can personally tell you it is excellent.

Another question - mainly for kids classes. Its seems around me, most kids and parents would know "karate", "kata", "sensei" and "dojo" as martial arts terms; not kung fu, sifu, or kwoon for...

I've never been able to lift, but my body can handle running in the morning. And if I can get myself up, I feel 100% better for the rest of the day. Never ate before hand, but would sometimes take...
