Gary is right, using elbows form long distance ( punching distance) is silly.
Of course, there are exceptions to every rule"

Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
He also reiterates that the ONLY appropriate time to use them is when your hand(s) is grabbed.

Which, by the way, was the title of the original thread:
"Are bil gee elbows the most overused wing chun technique?"

This is not a WC technique, but I would use it anytime :
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
no one argues with this. and thats the only point that gary lam is making here.Gary is right, using elbows form long distance ( punching distance) is silly.
Several of us argue this and, yes, it is still good wc to throw elbows at the appropriate range even though your not being grabbed.He also reiterates that the ONLY appropriate time to use them is when your hand(s) is grabbed.

Your hand is get trapped
or your hand get catched
or your hand get pulled
or you have to touch something and the power comes out (up?)
Look at his body language when he says this. He's only implying that you dont throw an elbow without some kind of bridge contact AND you never throw an elbow from punching range.
Again, no one is arguing with this. I swear, i have never met anyone who keeps putting words in my mouth. I could agree with him and he'd find a way to spin it so i'm disagreeing with him.
*continues to beat the dead horse....with elbows...but its ok, cause i have bridge contact on the horse so Gary Lam would agree with me*

at about 1 min he steps in with an elbow, traps his opponents hands down.
