    I like the centerline = manipulating entire center of gravity. Yes.

    excellent clip and I really like the wobble board idea, will have to try it.

    Thanks

    thanks for the clip Alan. Totally agree that disrupting structure and balance is an integral part of Wing Chun including chi sau, whether that be through actions such as lap sau or uprooting by driving into the centre from an angle (rather than the static striking that you showed as an option at the start). The obvious observation is that one also learns to feel these things and to control one's own balance to avoid being disrupted / controlled and the set up of pushing to induce a reaction merely gives the partner an opportunity to disrupt your balance.
    Love the wobble board, might introduce one as part of early training.
    A clever man learns from his mistakes but a truly wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

    Great video, Alan. It is all logical and it is all Wing Chun, with added insights focusing on one of the most important aspects of Wing Chun (and other kung fu) practice - structure, balance and roots, which are the construct of potent body unity.

    That's Gary Lam's control centerline:

    Probably as influenced by Hawkins Cheung.

    Decent video Alan. While we agree in principle I still see differences in our approaches. Extending the arms to the point where structure goes away combined with pushing being the main culprit. Might work with someone of equal size or smaller but won't do much at all with a larger, stronger opponent. How do you guys deal with static control?

    Yes Gary learnt a lot from H Cheung and exchanges with my teacher for sure.

    I not trying to agree with anyone. I am just showing what I do. I have know need to agree. We can all have different ideas. Extending the arms?? its a demo - I am showing power control. Larger, stronger it all works fine - I have a lot of big strong fighters - it all works. I am showing a few things in short clips - its not the whole system lol that would be a but longer.

    Pushing and issuing are different, also when you use the horse for power its all no problem at all.

    Deal with static control? I don't understand your question?? What is your example? Then maybe I can answer you.
