Boxing and Wing Chun

You can only watch so much of the movie then you have to wait an hour to watch the rest of it...what a tease..

Hey Hardwork,

I like this vid as well, If you haven’t seen the movie (Yip Man ), you can enjoy it right now in its entirety…

Hello Ali,

I missed this post as I had forgotten to subscribe to this thread when I posted here. Thanks for the link. I was hoping to find a copy of this movie on dvd here in Colombia but I have lost hope (for now), so your link was a pleasant surprise.

I will watch the movie as soon as I find some quality time.

Thank you once again.

Hello Ali,

At last I managed to find time and saw the movie (in two parts). It was great and will be in my dvd collection once I find one to buy.

Thanks again.

You’re welcome anytime…

Here’s one of my youngest students at age 14. He’d trained close to three years (mostly private); he’s now a Sifu/Assistant. This kid has very good timing for someone his age…

And he's chewing gum at the same time...

Thanks Ali. The kid seemed relaxed and flowing. No doubt if he continues with his WC studies he will have a great kung fu future .

[Ali. R]

Hey thanks,

He started at the age of five, far as his martial art studies and he has a 2nd degree black belt in Kempo…

Chris gave him that belt; which made him easy to teach and the size factor a minute detail of reality in his mind…

His second year, I really punked him and jumped him hard just to see if he would cry, he was terrified but kept structure and became a little nervous when ever I called his name out in class …

This went on a for few months; after that; he started to adapt and deal with pressure of twice his size (grace under pressure)...

I think he’ll do just fine when he’s in his early/mid twenties, that’s when things should really open up for him (far as his wing chun understanding and knowledge)…

Again thanks,



Ali Rahim.

Thanks for the info. Nothing beats a genuine sifu´s touch and attention in bringing out the best in his students.

As I said before it seems that he is going to have a great kung fu future and it seems that you will be there to see that he does!

Well, now we know what he was 'training' in London!

[Ali. R]

Here’s a young man from Cuba, which has been with me for a while now, he just turned 16 and his debut fight will be this summer at a local fight club venue/dance hall… This kid is 6’1 175lb and can fight defensively too

He’s a big kid, but can move very well and has good balance… He also has a very good right hand; he’s truly packing dynamite… He’d actually drop a few guys older and bigger the himself…

Here he is doing the roll out/roll dog (Ring is set up all-day Sunday about 5hrs, a must for new fighters, once a week only…) to a heavyweight member (55lb heavier and 3in taller then himself)…

He was told only to use defensive movement and don’t hit back until you see him sucking for air (just a jab)… I didn’t want to put it all up on youtube, to help everyone save face…

I’m blessed to have a camp of very young fighters…

I enjoy the clips, bet your kids can fight! I have a question (not a Criticism) when you work the focus pads on the kids you downward slap their gloves a lot in their guard, just wondering what your workin on them and why? I've seen slaps done by trainers to make the boxer keep a good guard but I'd love to hear your input. Thanx for sharing.

[Ali. R]

The boxer himself stays very relaxed as possible when I forcefully drop the pads downward on his guard or punches, this develops a form of isometrics while at the same heightens one’s reflexes and helps the young fighter to feel solid pressure offensively as well as defensively…


Take care,

What I look for (and you can even hear it) when I see boxing training vids is the quality of body mechanics in action. Here are some good examples:


11 year-old training

9 year-old training

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJtdUwzaN2A

5 year-old training

Excellent clips Terrence.
That 11 year old was truly awesome.

Can't you just imagine what will happen to someone trying to simultaneous block (parry) and hit that kid?

Simultaneous blocking and striking can't be done all the time but it can be done.
