This video helps to explain how Wing Chun chain punching is actually done and the proper way to develop it. All to often, people try to use pure speed and muscle and just simply blitz the non-confrontational opponent. But realistically people do fight back. Attacking done right is not a numbers game where you throw 10 attacks and hope 2 to 3 will land. The right mentality for a Wing Chun fighter is not being wasteful like a solider with a gatling gun who simply has fire power but waste rounds of ammunition. Instead you are a sniper, where almost every attack is almost guaranteed to hit and where you don't fire to waste bullets. The first drill is called freeze frame drill, in this simple concept drill, one attacks the other blocks, but only after the hit, giving the blocker the development of seeing how to regain the line, and the attacker time to also figure out where the nearest line of attack is. Once the drill can be done properly you take it to the next level, once you attack, the blocker once again tries to block, but by the time he initiates the block, you takeover his motion and throw your next attack. You then continue this process over and over again. In the end, you want to develop the skill, were you throw out an attack and can just rain it upon your opponent, who will never have the ability to block your attack, since your always one step ahead of him. In the end, this is what chain punching is really like in Wing Chun and one of the ways to develop it. And a closer glimpse as to how to apply your sticky hand skills in real fighting situations

wrong thinking, your "partner" should be striking you back with "chain punches" the drills show unaligned counter striking. NOT doing kwan sao guys who use kwan sao havent really gotten the whole idea...sorry. A few seconds trying to punch me in th face will prove the 'idea'

try to angle your selves with movement and striking to create a flanking attacking angle with a striking arm alone, then if contact is made , like a X'ing wrists as each partner strikes, then the more experienced/faster reacting partner will jut sao and remove the jutting hand as the following hand strikes and takes the lead line of attack , while the jutting hand cycles back to wu sao to make the next attack, etc.... depending on the angles each of you make trying to vie for a position in a face off using side stances and mobility to feint with movement etc...prior to striking.

1. There's no such thing as chain punching--there is Chun punching..

2. Fan sao with various strikes and techniques is not "chain punching" either.

3. If you're going to do Chun attacks and chun counters might as well do ChiSao..a real opponent will never react like that.

4.. If you're going to do ChiSao, Chun techniques, punching, etc breaking structure and body power is key..not "blocking"...

5. And as usual too many choppy chop chops...

You guys really don't give anyone a chance do you??! I'm sure we're all masters of ourselves, but how about more constructive assistance?

Firstly, YungChun, there is 'chain' punching in what I do, although the term I would use is 'linked' or 'continuous'. It's called 'Lien Wan Chun Kuen'.

I like Kevs proposal, as this sounds like one of my first partner drills for chunkuen, forearm to forearm, left to right contact. BUT I would also suggest developing your chunkuen on the wooden man.

All this negativity towards quansau is silly imo. For me, quansau rocks!

'nuff said about kwan sao. if I can occupy you with one arm and you have to use 2 to fight my one ...well
we do continuous punching but with the VT idea about elbows etc... low elbows make good bridging forearm angles to attack with and create natural barriers to our OWN centerline as we enter to attack one another...like creating an intersection of potential lines of force to connect with, our arms maintain center to strike along the invisible line we train along in forms etc...


the forearms left to right are , outside fore arm = tan sao strike / inside fore arm jum sao strike

dan chi-sao is this introduction to opposite energy of vt striking drill. Each strikes to the center but first adopting the starting point of the elbows ....strike versus strike tan elbow tries to displace the jums forearm/elbow, the jum sao tries to deflect the tan strike by simply holding the elbow inwards, while pointing the fingers at the guys center....redundant due to the fact that once you learn the striking of each energy, you dont punch in the same 1-2 sequence, you simply use striking attacks with 'inbuilt' unseen energy capable of maintaining line defense integrity while blasting into the opponent at tactical angles etc...very subtle angling is done.

once this idea is used you wont ever leave the center line to chase or over turn, because your giving the striker the next opening by your movement alone from the line to chase the incoming attacking action and responding with defensive actions alone or moving to much [turning] to avoid the attack rather than ...attack the attack.
