Cool Video! Thanks!
Alpha Dog: What's "rule # 1"?

rule #1 - never talk about fight club.
In this case - definitely true.
Your journey ends at my feet.

Can't wait `til I get home from school so I can check the videos out.
I have a signature.
Imagine if they actually had a stance ! Fun to watch though.
i dont think i saw one shot with good structure in the whole thing.
it seems like their insistance on "straight blasting" (i prefer calling it chain punching) prevented them from doing any WC.
but mabye i'm being too harsh at least they spar - although i'm pretty sure it wasn't full power.

they sure have a gorgeous club.
thats true... wish my hole-in-the-wall school looked like that
even our wooden man is falling apart! (or is that my fault...)

Looks good! Most of these students seem to be from 1 to 3 years experience - definitely too much chainpunching, headhunting and one-dimensional footwork, but as a sparring format seems very good - I especially like how the support beam was used as a valid part of the environment.
Good video, always nice to see Wing Chun people applying their art. Not much Wing Chun there though, was there? No bong sau, no tan sau. Just chain punching back and forth. Hmmm. Quite a few of those bouts ended up on the floor too, didn't they? I guess no one likes to be hit. Much easier to close and clinch.
If you have a look at the Escrima clip and then the Wing Tsun clip, you'll see the sifu seems to have merged the two arts. Is this common in WT kwoons?
That kind of sparring will definatley make them better fighters though i think, good stuff.

Good for them. Takes guts. Anyone who disses should please post a clip of themselves doing better.
BTW- The term head hunting makes me laugh. So does Bas' "Jezuzgriiist, Liver shot!"
Yes it is quite common to teach escrima and WT at the same school.
Looks like a slapfest. They'll learn. They're stepping up to spar so they'll get it right soon.
1-3 years experience. You're kidding, right? I would have thought 1 year at the most.

Most people can't even kick above their waist after 1 year, especially if they have no athletic background. I thought most of them were between 1.5 and 2 years exp.
True that one solid shot would be worth more than 3 of those "chainpunches," I blame the teacher for that.
But consider that this looked to be alot better than just Chi-sao, push hands, or point-sparring.
