How to make trapping work is a puzzle but simple for thinking martial artist - Focus more on your feet than your hands. Position and angle are King - Trapping is about being 1 or 2 steps ahead not necessarily literally trying to pin their hands with one hand. In wither case it requires developing our intention and instincts - Drill against Non-Wing Chun Postures, Strikes, Positions and Reactions - Drill closing the gap and defending the gap from completely separated. Don’t neglect it by starting from close range, or from already making contact - Grapple and prioritize unbalancing over everything else - Take all of the above and obsessively practice laying “bear traps” for people to step in. -- It’s easier to be 1 or 2 steps aside when you’re covertly forcing errors / creating conditions for the person to step into a trap, and it’s harder when initiating the aggression in order to make a movement to bait a reaction. People are unpredictable and maybe downright irrational when high on adrenaline I guess really this applies for all Kungfu not just Wing Chun. But especially for Wing Chun because Chi Sau / Gor Sau can give us a false sense of preparedness
Excellent video, these lap sau, wu sau or gan sau movements there are always problems to solve with the use of strength and speed, we have to practice a lot if we want to take our wing chun to another level. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
its always right left righ left right left robot arms. childsplay. if its for real show some real sparring and do this at spontanious attacks. i ll bet it will look more like boxing and kickboxing then all this kind of trapping childsplay
You apparently have never 'touched hands' with a good Wing Chun practitioner! The reason it looks 'practiced' is because both men are trained in Wing Chun techniques. Sifu Chan is quite proficient while Chris is a student but knows the basic techniques. It takes years of experience to get to Sifu Chan's level. They are 'demonstrating' the mechanics of Wing Chun trapping. I guarantee you that if Sifu Chan was 'sparring' a different style - say a boxer - his application of techniques would change as a boxer attacks differently than a Wing Chun practitioner. I'm sure the result would be the same though. Particular to kung fu styles - students must be competent with the basic techniques against others within the style before learning how to apply the techniques to different attacks. It's a significant problem within the Wing Chun community. Students gain basic competence quickly but don't understand the foot work and advanced movement which teach how to apply the techniques outside of the system.
Then you apparently dont what real or fake is. If you can show me one video of a wc fighter doing trapping pak sao lap sao to another fighter i will believe this could be usefull. Or else its just fantasy. Cuz of these nonsense a wc man looks ridicilous in fights. Soon the fight starts it will look like amateur boxing, kickboxing or schoolfight. And if basic techniques take years and years to apply then it proofs its default and waste of time. So if you can send me a video of one wc fighter doing his wc techniques against an attack. And this guy Chan is doing these left right left videos for years. Never one video of a real sparring against somebody he doesnt know. So all this is naaaaahhhhhh!
@@minasz A punch is a punch - angle/speed makes the technique. Whatever you think of Bruce Lee - most (not all) of his 'hand techniques' in JKD are from Wing Chun - there's nothing more direct. Adam Chan has met and trained with many of Lee's 'original' training partners, a legendary Wing Chun master in Hong Kong and is still learning 'internal styles' of kung fu. Keep practicing in the mirror...
@@paul7754 dude, wing chun is focused on trapping so you can hit. At the end Bruce Lee threw almost every wing chun technique out and add more of the boxing, kicking, grappling in his jkd. I dont believe in all this fantasy kung fu styles. Only if its pressure tested. Or else its all make believe. So if you like you can stay in Disney Land
@@minasz Typical 'outsider' analysis but don't feel bad - many make the same mistake. Trapping is a feature of many martial art styles - it's about control. Like water - Wing Chun seeks the path of least resistance to vulnerable points of the human body most of which are in the 'center' of the body. The 'trained' hands and forearms of advanced Wing Chun practitioners 'seek' the opponent's openings to strike vulnerable points. This is what observers cannot 'see' and why I previously mentioned 'touching hands' with an instructor. It's why Sifu Chan is so 'quick' - most of what he does is by 'feel' not by eye or a 'plan'. He's very advanced. WC is a complete fighting art of simplicity, directness and economy of motion. WC isn't just 'in-fighting' - the 2nd form 'Chum Kil' or 'Seeking the Bridge' teaches kicks as well as footwork and double arm techniques for initial contact - 'the bridge' - of an attack. Your analysis of JKD 'omitting' WC techniques is also incorrect - JKD uses anything direct and effective. Jeet Kune Do - 'way of the intercepting fist'. Gee - wonder where that concept came from? I shouldn't plug another channel on Sifu Chan's but check ot 'Greenville Academy of Martial Arts' YT channel. They teach traditional Wing Chun, JKD and boxing. They take a more 'practical approach' - maybe what you're looking for.
Chris showing his skills!
Love the finger locks thrown in!

This is a very interesting technique to learn... trapping
Very insightful! Thanks for sharing.
Great episode
🙏
With this speed no one can learn.unless you go one by one an in a very slow motion
