Ng chan wing chun

[MOSHE]

I was giving the answer in my question

its evident that it has to be strike strongly

not really in order to harden the arms

but in order to build the strength

every hit is precise and regarding a certain know how

i can add that regarding what i see away ,it doesnt seem that people are practising this way

It is hard to drill the wooden man properly (if there IS such a thing!) when many people who buy and train with this equipment have never received any personal instruction at all. Then they upload a video of their 'wailing'

Basic wooden man sets were introduced to me pretty early on in training. There was no mystique about the wooden man. No waiting 2 years or so to learn the 108/116. Just simple Wing Chun sets built up over time...

Only around 11 cm between the upper arms of the dummy
the hEighT of the dummy is in connection with the hEIghT of the tan sao

the feet allow TO WALK AROUND without having to step back

[k gledhill]

The height is relative to each persons elbow, so should adjust for students. The lifting , hinging action of the elbow should be avoided, lower is better . We do our drilling with this also in mind, low fok/jum elbows on low tan elbows, all good habits to connect the chain of force to the body as a unit. Not stance alone, then arms hinge up, etc...

Well then, your answer is incorrect.

The reason the dummy is made of hardwood is because hardwoods are indigeneous to southern china and are cheap, plentiful, and do not require significant skill to work with as a raw material.

Poor southern chinese peasants studying an uncommon form of kung fu probably would have made the dummy out of mud if they could have figured out how to make a mud dummy practical.

That's so weak!!!
For sure you don't know anything about it

I don't want any polemic but you think twice before answering this way

And you do, right?

I see you are joining k gledhill in creating logical fallacies. You created two there: an Ad Hominem, and also an appeal to authority.

I'll let you two in on a little secret: if you can't express your point of view, you don't know the subject matter. When it comes to discussion, debate, sharing ideas, and teaching, your kung fu sucks. Maybe what you were taught sucks, too. but who cares because your own kung fu definitely sucks.

Its hard to describe easy to show, come by one day.

That's fine. Such a situation would be a different skillset than here, anyway.

I doubt however, you will be able to demonstrate how a 1 cm change can make everything go to pot ... unless your kung fu sucks. ;-)

only one way to find out Tom......go!

What does he want to show me again? Whether he can make a 1 cm change and start sucking? I say he can't show that. LOL.

No but he may try and hit you then you can do all that stuff you keep writing about!

What "stuff to do" in such a situation did I write about? I stay out of those innane online conversations.

I think you're confusing me with someone else. Or drunk posting again. Or both.

Are you drunk posting??? That explains a lot Tom!

At the moment, you're the one up past midnight demonstrating degraded reading skills while responding, so you tell me. ;P
