    Rattan Ring

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

    I dont know much about whats shown but it seems to belong to one of the Siu Lam Weng Chun Families. This is would make it none Young Spring Boxing but Everlasting Spring Boxing.


    Kind Regards,
    Xian

    Very basic approach to the Rattan Ring imo not at all what I would suggest. Looks like it's a drill of a few things thats been made into a form for Wushu competition

    I will look through my Flystudio clips coz I'm sure that I have yapped about how I approach the rattan ring when I was entertaining my martial cousins from Germany and Austria!!

    Mind you, lately on here I get the impression that everything I post is being jumped on by the WSL PB Brigade

    Sad but true...

    There is a bloody good reason for that mate!!!

    Rattan rings are good for hanging clothes on and a like. Not for Ving Tsun Kung Fu!!!

    You dont miss what you don't know.
    So you add flag waving, rattan rings of death, grappling pole ,
    And more !

    I don't think that's the issue at all, the way I see it. I have never
    used the rattan ring; I have seen one lineage that uses the rattan
    ring. Master Mijiwang I think his name is. I think the real issue is, does using the rattan ring improve either
    wing chun skill or fighting skill. I do not know the answer to that.

    does the rattan ring improve VT skills ? no

    Does Spencer also do flag waving, rattan rings of death, pole grappling and more ? yes

    You did not say that it does not improve fighting skill. I know nothing of pole grappling, flag waving etc. Sounds very ceremonial though.

    Ok you're so funny Boring but funny!

    No point in even trying to shed any light on the purpose and benefits of actually training with the rattan ring. Not here anyhow.

    One thing though, if you're a 'line' man or a 'triangle' man then you should look into the 'circle' man! The Tungwan (rattan ring) assists in this training, but I will keep it safe with my fire flags and lightning blades!!

    Yes, I guess it is very 'cultural'. Something my own Sifu takes much pride in teaching and sharing. And believe it or not, it's all Wing Chun!

    It does not improve VT fighting skills. If you watch the clip you will see that the guys elbows are so wide just so he can keep the thing from falling off...

    Granted, I'm only messing about with my Wing Chun cousins but I try to explain a little about the rattan ring! Experimenting I guess
