OH MY GAAAWD that was HORRIFIC!
What the HELL WAS that?
The taller guy had his arms straight out and NEVER EVER ATTACKED!
His elbows were out. He had no footwork.
He was just a punching bag.
Is this video supposed to prove something?
Like how cool it is to see an absurdly staged fake attempt at Chi Sau?
If you are going to post supposed examples of how effective staying in the middle is, pleas give us a REAL example, where both people actually try!
You STILL have not explained how what Redmond or Mazza did was not COMPLETELY effective.
They went to the blind side and were TOTALLY safe from a bigger guy who tried to pivot, becuase the TOOK HIS BALANCE!
Going to the Blind Side is only PART of the Whole.
Go to the Blind Side.
Attack the opening.
Control the elbow.
IT WORKS if you know how to do it.
You started this thread by TRYING to show the weakness of mirror stance fighting and going to the flank.
I think the Videos that Redomond posted have YET to be analyzed to reveal ANY flaw in either their reasoning or application.
So, how about it?
Where did Redmond and Mazza go wrong?
How did they not completely counter your claim?
I ask you to show the errors in Redmond's videos and THIS is your response?
You resort to the weak mind's tactic of hiding from a challenge.
You ignore it.
How about tackling something a little more cerebral.
Or is that too much to ask?
You think it's COOL and I'm WEAK and you LOL at me.
That's pretty sad.
I guess the age of ideas IS dead.
Aren't any of you skilled word smiths going to even TRY to explain away these videos which suport of Redmond's point?
Or is this like in the playground, when the little kid uses words the big guys don't understand, so you all just mock him rather than actually use that stuff between your ears to REASON!
Brilliant! Ah, I see it all now. How could I ever have been so wrong.
How I feel, huh?
You make an unfounded criticism of TWC and when asked to support it, you don't.
My lack of desire to "get along" is based upon attitudes such as yours, where people criticize TWC and GM Cheung, but when asked to be specific, you can't deal.
So yes, I don't want to get along.
But I still want to get to the truth.
Which obviously either you don't or you can't.
So, even if you don't respond to me, you inability to clearly and accurately respond to Redmond shows one thing.
You can make assertions, that you have no ability to prove.
Congratulations, you have just confirmed why I have no desire to get along.
You win.
I quit.
You stay to the inside. You do that.
And everyone else please keep doing that, too.
Please!
Because the weight of your "evidence" was so overwhelming. And your unwillingness to give Redmond's videos any consideration was the right way to go. You should NEVER listen to someone who disagrees with you. There supposed "evidence" and multiple video postings dealing with specifics was just a smoke screen to hide the fact that we have absolutely NOTHING to offer.
I feel so naked and ashamed right now.
I'm going to curl up into a fetal position, hide under my bed and suck my thumb, and PRAY I don't run into any Wing Chun guys who want to stay in my center.
God help me...
