- Ming instructs a flow and method of fighting in the trapping range specific to Rebel Wing Chun (RWC). He details specific reasons why and how you perform these movements that blend the essence of traditional Wing Chun, Pentjak Silat, Savate, and Jun Fan for the individual in a way that is truly functional.

So I wanted to ask you if you could do remedy a problem for me since you're both very knowledgeable in trapping and very good at responding to your followers. In the sea of jkd tutorials there are very few instructional videos on trapping off of an open angle. I fight about 75-80% south paw and find that I very rarely trap because of it. In almost all jkd trapping instructions they are shown off a closed angle rather than the open angle given with a mismatched lead. I installed only throwing 3 traps from south paw in sparring
1) slapping their lead hand down in the T zone and feeding the rear cross
2) pulling their lead hand in the T zone and feeding a cross or side kick depending on distance
3) If we're a little more square and their hands are up using my rear hand to pull their lead glove down throw a lead hook and circle out to my right.
Many JKD guys start out like I am mostly south paw even though the goal is to be able to use both orthodox and south paw. I also can throw a drop shift then end in the closed angle and trap from there but I still feel like there is a dearth of open angle trapping techniques. Could you please do some videos on open angle traps? I think the martial arts community really could use something of that sort.
Actually, our Rebel Wing Chun series deals with same-side open stance (there are even more RWC videos coming). I may put up a short version here to demonstrate just a tiny bit of what's on those videos. But if you're deeply interested in them:

I see that "Rebel" Wing Chun is more opportunistic and tactically diverse, etc., yet I wonder what makes you choose the name "Rebel". Do you mean "anti-traditional"? My question is about semantics and not tactics, since I noticed the new intro. Anyways, as always, thanks for the top-shelf material - I always see more and better after watching your videos.
Thank you for your kind words. They make this work worthwhile. Rebel in this case means rebelling against the elitist traditional mindset and conformity of lack of true function against resisting opponents. Rebelling against those who nitpick elbow angle of degrees while never having even tried their hand against a real shoot fighter, wrestler, Thai fighter, etc. to see if their angle degree makes one bit of difference in a real fight. They have lost the functionality and essence of why and how Wing Chun CAN work against said attackers. Here's what I say on my corejkd.com site about my choice:
Rebel Wing Chun was developed to get away from all the purists who wish to dead-end the true benefits of Wing Chun. Those who wish to keep it in a state that can’t adapt to the rigors of attacks from grapplers, multiple opponents-at the same time-or weapons attacks.
This is not your traditional Wing Chun-for a reason: The traditional Wing Chun mindset is mired in ego and elitism, while lacking function in any range except the trapping range against other Wing Chun practitioners or the untrained individual.
Very true, other wise see if a technique and principle works against an resisting opponent. And not an opponent of the same style. I like your videos of progression, starting base and working up the levels intent. Also you touch mindset, realism, tolerance level, situational and environment..etc etc. There's so much but not confusing or overloaded info. One of the things in your other videos is very very important that very few vids talk about; and that is centered around fear or fear of getting hit ( along with any other physical attack). One person I've met adds the mental and verbal aspects as well. (another time). Much Kudos to the women you work with; i wish more women had more realistic training, guidance and expectations in their training. Keep doing what you're doing Sifu, i feel you geniunely care about the welfare of your students as well as those who want to have the life saving tools or just to be safe.
Very much appreciate your words-and your understanding of what's important.
but not everyone will strike a vertical punch. someone is more likely to twist their fist for that straight left. you put a lot of focus on defending the right/lead hand. that straight left/power hand is likely to come over with a straight punch or hook. and your back was slightly turned from that hand. that's the biggest thing I noticed as I am a wing chun and boxing practitioner.
Thank you for your comment. We are preferring the vertical fist is on our end, not the attacker’s. This video was about trapping off the jab. I have entire videos dealing with hooks, uppercuts, corkscrews, shovel hooks, etc.. As you accurately point out, hooks are more common, as well as strikes from the rear hand-where most people think they deliver the most power from. When done right, the jab is the most dangerous knockout punch to deal with, as it is closest to the target, doesn’t require a wind up (with the added distance it has to travel) and can stun tenths of a second earlier than any other punch. Which also means training it makes you read faster, move faster, counter faster. Hooks are actually easier to deal with in this regard. A sneaky hidden cross tucked away nice and neat though, can surprise if you haven’t trained for it. But what people sometimes forget is that the trapping we do in RWC doesn’t keep us playing in the striking range where we have to continually deal with punches. We move rapidly to jam/deflect tools and engage in a different range on the high and low line in tenths of a second. The attacker is overwhelmed by the drive into them and the binding/trapping of their tools that minimize their ability to strike and to strike from a solid foundation.
corejkd I was more so referring to using the video as example, the girl holding pads using the rear hand to hold for your counter-punch/elbow. I'm saying that, that hand would more likely be able to still hit you with that straight or hook to head or body as you're coming in for the trap and punch/elbow?
+Rafael Roquemore Thank you for your clarification. I address some of the secondary attacks in other videos on my channel, including this one: th-cam.com/video/lmBUOEp_VtY/w-d-xo.html
