Glad to have you onboard man 🙏🏼 It's a life-long journey and yeah we were some of the lucky ones to have found it early on. having said that, I have so much respect and admiration for Sifus who after having done decades of one lineage/method of Wing Chun, 'empty their cups' and begin this method when they realize they have been missing and important aspect of the art. They must really love the art and want to improve, and also have their ego in check!
@@MindfulWingChun Thanks. My training is going good, I have the feeling that I‘m able to relax my whole body more (advancing in small steps) during my practice time, also it‘s getting easier for me now to feel my spine and to initiate movements from the spine. I‘m looking forward to arrange another session with Miguel soon 🤙 I hope that you and everybody else in HK are fine.
My pleasure as always. Yeah it really is a very deep (and for me an addictive) art. Even after 25years of practice, I'm still amazed at how many more layers there are to delve deeper into. I think for us to see it as a life long journey will help to relieve any frustration in practice which usually is the main reason people stop practicing. They want to have it now without being willing to put in the sufficient training time. Also, unfortunately many don't have access to the knowledge of the internal aspect of the art which is its essence. That was honestly my main motivation for setting up the one school 5yrs ago
Hi i have been paralysed from the waist down but I started training in martial arts in 2003. I started learning Kay Boon Sau Fat in 2006 and started training in Wing chun in 2009. Every time i do Sil lim tao and Kay Boon Sau Fat, it generates energy and movement in my legs! My legs have kicked things, in front of people. It first time, was after i had been practicing Kay Boon Sau Fat in 2006. I am still baffled on how it happens!
Being able to not just relax the spine buy decompress it is something we all need. My lower back is still very tense and it limits my training. Especially with all the cool things you showed my Sifu. We have barely started going through what you and John taught him and I need this relaxation to even attempt what he had learned.
Yeah just keep at it. It doesn't happen overnight but it also won't take as long as many thing to get a glimpse of this. My suggestion is to dedicate some time to practice daily, especially Siu Nim Tao, and also try to walk more and apply this idea while walking . Because during walking we don't have time to micro-manage any area and we must have a holistic feeling and control of the body which is actually what we should be aiming for in SNT as well. There is a video in the online school called 'Mindful Walking'. If you're up to that part of the program have a look and practice that 👌🏽 Keep at it! 🙏🏼
@MindfulWingChun This is probably reason enough to join the online classes. I enjoyed them during the lockdown I don't remember why I stopped. Thank you for the insight.
I had a nasty back sprain last summer. Spent 10 days basically in pain standing or laying down, sitting a nightmare. I can say first hand, Siu Lim Tao is the perfect rehab, especially the first two sections. It's like reverse aging, from frailty or stiff old man strength into springy, youthful power. That's why it's required foundation for later forms, which can be very demanding on the spine and are impossible to perform at intensity without a strong, healthy, articulate core.
100% Kevin. Glad to hear that you were able to rehab your back through SNT and that certainly shows that your approach to its practice is sound 👍🏻 over the last couple of decades I have lost count how many little and large niggles I've had in various parts of the back, shoulders, elbows, wrists and legs and everytime SNT is a great tool to aid and heal. What an simple yet effective system 👏
@@MindfulWingChun It makes me curious how much the system was shaped by Leung Bik, who was the TCM equivalent of an orthopedist/physical therapist. Not to mention previous doctors in the lineage.
@kevingray4980 According to CST, Ip Man actually told him that Leung Bik has very high internal skills and still powerful in his old age when Ip started training with him
Hey Nima, question on how to train. CST says ideally you want to seng through the whole spine but at beginner levels, you have to go section by section. If we practice by ourselves, how would we know/feel what sections we're stuck at and how to rise through that?
Hi, actually he didnt mean that as beginners we haveto focus on section by section. In fact he and I teach the opposite. What he meant is that at first we don't have the capability to open up the entire thing and it'll open up bit by bit. Different sections will open up for different people according to their spine, injuries, tension levels etc. The way to practice is is to not focus on a particular area but to rise up from the tailbone all the way to the top of the spine (and through that part of the head), like a fountain. Then any area that is compressed and tight will eventually open up. Are you on the online school? if not I strongly do recommend it (if interested in this method) as there are a couple of hours worth of videos on Taigung and Seng alone and relative to not only how to practice it but how to get someone (a spouse, friend, if you don't have training partners) to test it too to ensure you are on the right path.
So how DO you treat the hip position in your lineage? Do you simply stand naturally being careful to not lean forward or back and leave it at that? Or conversely, what do you think other lineages that teach hip tucked under are trying to get across to the student regarding the stance? Could it be as simple as trying to prevent the student from standing with their buttocks stuck out, hence, tuck under? I'm from the Moy Yat line and we teach tucked under but the "Why?" is never really addressed. Or at least, not that I recall. Thanks for all the great videos!
Hello joe, I am doing wt since 1998 and i like to answer your "why" question. Why you shut try it are the additional force that you can gain, once you understand it ! Its the mind force ! All the benefiting sentences that our old masters have left us to understand it. Like Get rid of your own force, Get rid of the force of your enemy, Use the force of your enemy, Add your own force additionally. To learn the mind force you need a teacher who allready experienced it for themself to guide you. If you think(intellektually) ! you stand in your own way, connect to your body, feeling inside the Siu Nim Tao, and there is the beginning. Feel the force from one defence technik ( like tan sao ) Seperate inside the SNT between defence and attack and you get closer. Attack movement is target, defence movement is inside the ging. Find the way for the force, and gather experience. Finally relax, work with your mind. All defence movements inside the SNT will show you the "inside" ging. It's Dao De Ging ! The goal, the way, create the ultimate trust in Wing Tsun! The living wodden man, dart his fingers, to connect a bridge to the arms, and have a little idea ! Mok yan jong Biu Tze Chum kiu Siu Nim Tao ! The old masters have left us everything to understand the way.
Hi Joe, thanks for the questions. So for this lineage, I always say that "condition of always more important than position". meaning we always want to keep an openly relaxed condition in the body (for example on the shoulders, hips spine etc. ) rather than a specific position. So, for the spine, many ppl in this lineage misinterpret what is discussed in this video at keeping the spine straight (position) and they tense up their back muscles to achieve this position and make their posture look like that of Chu Shong Tin's. In fact, we can have the spine fully flexed and curled forward (as in the last movement in the Biu Jee form), and still have it in am open condition. So so for hips, yes we Qantas to ensure that the entire mid section is retained in a open and relaxed and neutral condition and have the lumbar curve of the lower back there and not flatten it by contracting the hip-flexors and tucking the pelvis. The thing is that dome people alreasy have their pelvis in a posterior tilt and very little curve in their lumbar spine so these people actually need to bring balance to their mid section by allowing the hip flexor to release and their buts sticking out more to bring their hips spine and pelvis in a more neutral position. so the way to look at it in terms of alignment is not 'one instruction is appropriate for all'. Even the brining in of the elbow is overused in my opinion. Many people I meet actually tighten up their chest and shoulder muscles but squeezing in their elbows to the centerline and trying to force their arm into a specific position but this is at the expense of creating a locked/tense condition in the shoulder area. In this case my instruction would be to explore with the range and see how far they can bring in the elbow without losing the open and relaxed condition of the shoulder girdle. The aim or the elbow and therefore the force that the shoulder girdle produces can and should certainly be toward the centerline for a movement like Fook Sau or Tan Sau in Siu Nim Tao, and this can be done without actually physically forcing the elbow in past their threshold. In this way they will gradually be able to bring in their elbow further in towards the center while retaining the relaxed and open condition. So they literally reprogram their nervous system and the amount of tension that fires in a in the muscles in a particular range. hope this makes sense Joe?
Yes, I believe I understand. Essentially, employ a relaxed and natural stance. Head over shoulders over hips over knees over feet. Don't force anything with regard to stance. Don't force position with regard to the elbows/wrists on the center line. Both allow more relaxed and quicker response with more power. At least that's my take-away. Thanks for taking the time to respond.@@MindfulWingChun
Hi Nima , great video thank you, after raising the spine for the first time what would be the best way to open the limb joints , more first form? or do you put your mind in your limbs? thank you.
Hi Nicholas, Yeah so thinking aboit the flow of intention that rises up the spine continues to flow into the arms through the shoulder girdle and down to the leg from the SI joint and hips. Yes more 1st form will definitely help as it's a form engineered to promoted this flow (once done correctly). I'm actually making another video on this subject of how to flow it into the limbs and out towards the target.
Hi, yes the kind can still flow through the area but obviously there won't be much movement in there since they have been fused. You can still flow through it but it will certainly take more practice to flow through that area. Yours are fused?
There is something called non-directed body movement and some people tend to get taller as a result. I had read that people might get taller with "rolfing" too.
@@unselfconsciousunfoldments yeah it's a change in posture. A decompression of the torso when the muscles that are clamping things together and stiff release
I'm trying aiming my centre of mass forward when I walk to work. It feels like the hips are stabilised. The leg pushing off the ground usually has the hip go down slightly and leg lifting up usually has the hip go up slightly.
Good stuff Andy. walking is a great not only for finding the center of mass but also for really relaxing and releasing tension in the body IF done the right way. One thing you can play with now is to adjust the speed of walking from the center. So when wanting to speed up, only move from that point and intend that point to move faster and see if the whole body reacts accordingly. When done properly, it feels like you actually use less effort to walk faster
I personally am a believer in this “internal power” shown in these videos and seminars! Sadly all those who claim to have this internal power still choose to only keep it to themselves, and thus making it remain a mystery or belief amongst a few who haven’t witnessed or actually felt it themselves! Why Sifu Nima King, Adam Mizner or any of the several other internal martial artists known or unknown to the public choose to keep this marvelous thing to themselves instead of at least going to or having other wing chun or MMA schools that don’t focus on the internal aspect on their videos; not to show each other up or nonsense but to show the reality of differences between them and learn from each other I’ll never understand! How could you possibly keep such a thing selfishly to yourself, making yourself look a charlatan? You’d get WAY MORE business, exposure, students or just straight up respect by clearing the misconceptions of internal martial arts once and for all rather than making it an aggravating mystery of whether it’s real or not. 😳🤦🏻♂️🙄/👌✌️🤲☝️😉
@@darthwolfX2 “INTERNAL POWER” and its legitimacy! Why won’t any person on earth show its power outside of a damn seminar online amongst themselves? 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻🙄
And why do I have to go and 'prove' anything to you bud? You dont need to waste your time and energy watching anything and I dont think you were forced to do so, atleast not on this channel. The door to our school is always open as is our seminars
@@Soliber I don’t have a passport, or the finances to make a journey plus pay for these seminars that hardly if ever are in America! Look, all I’m saying is if this internal arts stuff true then anyone of the masters or students should have no problem showing it outside of their online classes, or in the very least invite skeptics who claim it’s fake to see and feel it and testify to the world it’s validity! Otherwise enjoy playing with yourselves, having no impact whatsoever on the outside world! Pitiful. 😳🤦🏻♂️🙄/👌✌️🤲☝️😒
interesting! i have been studying this a bit and this video explains a piece of the puzzle. th-cam.com/video/AUbkEkH8CTQ/w-d-xo.html the spine is one of the first things formed in the body and there is apparently a single muscle facia which connects the entire body from head to toe so "chi" seems to be the conscious manipulation of the muscle facia. i used to think the vagal nerve which connects a lot of stuff plays some role but now i'm not sure. it still may be that it plays some role. the other person i follow that discuss this is some depth is adam chan who has extensive experience in chinese martial arts. it would be interesting if you guys could have a discussion and compare notes.
It’s simple…WHO CARES ANYMORE about this “internal” power that apparently can only be used online in seminars? Even if someone other than these online internal masters somehow learns to harness the power themselves, they’re confined to only showing it in a video because NO ONE ON EARTH TO THIS VERY DAY HAS THE GUTS OR HUMAN DECENCY TO PRESENT THIS MIRACULOUS INTERNAL POWER TO THE WORLD OUTSIDE OF A PITIFUL AND NOW VERY BORING ONLINE VIDEO!
