FWIW Terence I also believe that the reverse punch (gyakazuki??) is effective 'in the right place at the right time', like most (if not all) Wing Chun techniqe.
And more in TMA that has still to be shared.
What was this thread about again??
Why can't we just share and be happy? So much bickering and so little advice about Wing Chun....

Gyaku tzuki ( T is optional) is the correct term and yes, it is quite effective, just as is the straight to the body in boxing.FWIW Terence I also believe that the reverse punch (gyakazuki??) is effective 'in the right place at the right time', like most (if not all) Wing Chun techniqe.

You are incredibly stupid, aren't you? He never said his trainer used it as a finishing lock. He said he followed it up with an elbow... which is a perfectly reasonable follow-up to that tech.
However, once again, if you had actually ever used that tech against someone with a decent plumb, you would already know that, more often than not, you will not be able to follow with the elbow because you will not get a clean release of the head.
It's obvious you've never fought MT, other than some made up version you got from videos and practice in your studio against your students.
