@Yoshiyahu -1) i love your response and would like to know more about "...five basic ways we generate power with a hand strike!
1.The Curl (structure and stance)
2. The Breath (chi)
3. The waist and hips (jing)
4. Torque or turning power (chum kiu)
5. Stepping of moving force (chum kiu) "
And how " The waist and hips (jing)" is different from "Torque or turning power (chum kiu)" in generating power?
2)Pressure point striking to me is waaayyy to hard to apply in a streetfight or sparring I rather pressure point graps or jointlocks.
@wingchunIan - I do know the chum kiu form and I understand what you're talking about with generating power from the waist e.g. when you're in a side body stance facing 12 o'clock with a right bong sao then you turn to your left to face 9 o'clock with a right rising/drilling punch...there's a lot of power in that strike but usually in the forms that movement is only used to regain the line and then proceeds with short power strikes (no more hips/waist). Also to me a wall bag/maize bag is used to train short strikes not strikes using 6 joints, how do you train strikes using 6 joints?
@the whole wing chun groundfighting issue - There 3 choices we can make.
1)wing chun is invincible and we will never be taken down in a streetfight cause the art is perfect and I'm just that good!
2)I'll cover up the groundfighting holes in my wing chun with brazilian jiu jitsu/any grapplying style and become unstoppable!
3)I'll try to cover up the groundfighting holes in my wing chun with brazilian jiu jitsu/any grapplying style but modifying it to follow wing chun concepts....I like this one the best but thats just me.
Thanks guys for the input and keep them coming.
If we train only to defeat fools then we're not much better.
