Yuen Kay San Flow

[Yoshiyahu]

Below is a video of Mainland China WC. Its very different than Yip Man's I do not know yet if they are Yuen Kay San lineage or not. But it shows endless flowing techniques.

Do you guys practice the flow like this?

In Yuen Kay San we are taught to flow. We are taught to eliminate rigidness and stiffness. But we use senstitivity to flow endlessly like stream of water that doesn't stop. Our attacks and defense continously flow through, around and into our opponent like the blowing of the wind or crashing of waves coming unto land destroying the homes near the water front.


Does anyone else practice their WC like this?

All wing chun flows or should. Is this vid a good example or is this how everyone looks while learning to flow? Don't know each school and group of people will look a bit different.

Yes.. same idea..there are different levels to the flowing not all are the same

The clip is not YKS Wing Chun. I think it is Yip Man line, albeit with some added spice - perhaps Pan Nam influenced.

Everyone does I hope.
In this clip they restarted when contact was broken but the flow is there:

In this clip contact was broken on purpose at intervals:

That's no different to one of the ways we always did chi sao in my first (Yip Man) school. Still do when I have a willing partner, sometimes. The only difference is they are staring at their own hands which we would say is a no-no.

Those are very different examples of flow to Yoshiyahu's post IMO. No value judgement: they both have their uses. I'm busy now so I'll keep you in suspense as to why they are different if you can't see it!

Does this type of flow works well facing mma? of bjj?

Of course not MMA and BJJ people are invincible. Nothing can work against them.

i dont think in the YM lineage they are anti "flowing". im sure that is the way it is supposed to be. that is one of the essences of any soft style. continuous motion. in tai chi this concept is taught through 'silk reeling'

i think you dont see this in many YM lineages is that the quality control is horrible. anyone can be called a sifu and teach. who is to stop you. many of the current teachers are bad. and there teachers are probably bad too. they were taught this way.

the problem also probably lies in the fact that YM was really an expert in the chung choi (chain punch) and not so much in sticky hands. to defeat most CLF and Hung Gar fighters good footwork and a fast chung cho is all you really need. he learned sticky hands from yuen kay san for a few months before he went to HK to teach.

Nonsense ! YKS learned from Ng Chung So just like Yip Man and Yui Choi.

In fact the physical evidence supports that the basic rolling platform comes either from Ng Chung So or from the joint training YM ,YKS and YC did together. In fact the basic rolling is even part of the Chum Kui that YC learned from NGS.

Also Yip Man did not go to Hong Kong with the purpose of teaching. He went to HK to avoid the communists. He fell into teaching as a way to make some money many months after he moved to Hong Kong and it was only the chance meeting with Leung Sheung and the group he was teaching that lead to YM starting to teach.

[Pacman]

yes i did not mean he went to HK for the sole purpose of teaching.

i did not mean that only YKS knew sticky hands, but that YKS was much more advanced at it than YM and for a while YKS was helping YM refine his sticky hand skills before YM went to Hong Kong
