I fully understand the way that wing chun prefers to punch, but I feel this video is grossly under-demonstrating how difficult it is to get a lock from a punch. If you are using the punch as a reference point for education purposes, then that is fine, but it seems as if you are claiming that it is reasonable to grab punches in this manner, and I would argue greatly against that. So I guess the point of my comment is, I am confused why you choose those punches as the demonstration for moving into the lock.
+tagg1080 Thank you for your comment. I always favor engaging with someone who asks intelligent questions for the purpose of actually gaining information. While you may understand the preference for a particular punching mechanic in Wing Chun, you may not be aware of the many ways used to address this punch on the receiving end. First and foremost, this specific drill, the jik-chun-choy drill, is about reading to-centerline and pass-centerline energy. Core JKD’s implementation extends this to reading the contour of a limb during movement. The goal is to develop a tactile sense-an intuitive reflex-that capitalizes on removing the thinking brain from the process of fighting. The purpose of the drill you see in this video is about reading energy (pressure and direction) during movement and capitalizing on the opportunities present in subtlety. This does not in any way grossly under-demonstrate how difficult it is to get a lock from a punch-just as I don't go into defining important boxing mechanics for the clinch range (during this demonstration), footwork, maintaining base against resistance, peripheral reading of environmental factors as well as strategic positioning within that environment, the potential for multiple opponents, reading for weapon carry, etc. Quite simply there isn't enough time to present this in a technique/method training video snippet-nor do people have the patience for observing such a detailed reference in this format. I will be presenting a longer, more detailed format in the future for those wishing such, but I will have to do this with a minimum fee structure because of the time it takes to shoot and the time I took developing the methods I’ll be showing. Just as in any fight-for-life engagement, few things are textbook. In fact, it is often messy, brutal, and disorganized. But there is a method for training reflexive reaction during this. You are seeing some of that in this video. The progression shown presents opportunity pathways once a point of reference (felt) is secured. This later moves on to training in the clinch from a body-tackle position and flow, as well as engaging from other shoot and wrestling controls in the clinch where punches aren’t thrown-the key to which is developing the sense of feel and proper movement to opportunity based on that read. Progression also later extends to a variety of punches that come off-angle as well as from multiple opponents. Again, there isn’t enough time to demonstrate all of this in a free format, I have to pick and choose methods and techniques that the greater majority of people will be able to understand or from which they will be able to base their future understanding. I recently showed one of my instructors-in-training a breakdown of base elements trained during any class session. The Core JKD Method does this without the students being aware of the complexity underlying the simplicity of their training. The instructor’s response: “Seeing this all written out, even though I know you are doing it in our training, is a bit overwhelming!! We do so much.” I hope this explanation helps and also underscores the breadth and scope of our training, and what is actually applicable during the TH-cam technique format. If you have any other questions, please ask.
he's a marvelous teacher no matter from which point he start the lock there students will grow from that point
Thank you very much
LOVE OF THE ART MAKES ONE A GOOD ,GOODER GREAT INSTRUCTOR. THIS MAN LOVES THE ART .BE WATER MY FRIEND.
sadist? like it ))
5:25 the that was beautiful
