Try to never mirror your opponent’s stance.

[Ali. R]

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 are correct.

I am officially giving up Kung Fu.

You have totally destroyed me.

I am a broken man.

Stating you only stay in one particular area (on the inside in this case) when fighting is dumb. It severly limits your abilities IMO.

The only thing more stupid is having an internet B i t c h i n session about how who is right and who is wrong

I agree 100%. You don't win with dogma. You win by adaptation.

Hello russellsherry,

If one step in from the side that’s there prerogative… I have not yet seen someone step to the outside and in all together, and keep someone from holding his or her offensive and defensive structures without a real fight to do so; because one will move his or her feet when in trouble (a instinctive reaction) and will fight back too gain a strong position …

Take away his balance then you’ll take away his guns… As the saying goes, “the closes distance to anything is a straight line”, well too some anyway…

I was taught too use the female triangle (“som-got mah”) or step to the outside only after bridge contact is made and when one takes over ones balance (all tagether); therefore it will be harder for one to use offensive and defensive structures when fighting for their balance, not go outside to take the line and then fight at ones balance (it takes too long)...

Too some it’s hard to do, just as many other posters mentioned here; “fighting in the inside takes more skill”, so why not develop that skill? Why take the cheap way out, now that one knows that size doesn’t make a difference?

Take Care.

Here are some drills that could help you hone in on the wing chun’s “inside fighting” mentality, attacking the attack with the “mon sao” (asking hands). & “chum” (sinking energy).

Not the say all or be all, but the best way for a smaller guy too stay in the middle
(just my opinion)…

Here’s my top students from Detroit breaking it down…

Oh, by the way… The hand that he used to stop the second shot with on clip 3, could have been a “woo da”, “bong lop fon”, “tan da” or what ever (“yut fook yee” one hand traps two or da.), with that there shouldn’t be any reason too go outside, especially by choice…


Ali Rahim.

[Ali. R]

This is far as I’m going with this statement… Hey smaller guys listen up; when your opponent makes large steps you make smalls ones when facing him… Just try it for yourselves, no need too reply back, and “you’re welcome” a head of time…


Ali Rahim.

[Ali. R]

Or maybe it was just his preferrence to stay there. All this bickering IMO stil doesn't prove the mirrored stance is right or wrong... And not trying to troll by saying this.

I gave everyone what he or she asked for, but nothing in return…

(someone running the flank with each practitioner standing left or right-handed, with the hands 8 to 10 inches away from each other before flanking and taking someones balance…)

I can assure you that I’m not bickering about anything, like most said: "this is a good discussion", and I really enjoy your posting too…

I don’t cry like the neighborhood drunk man’s wife... Oh, what a sight that she sees, when he’s coming up the street…

Take care,

In the stance training portion of the video, the young man is standing on a circular platform. What is underneath the platform?
