Been doing wing chun for 3 years and it just hit me... A bong sau is better for a behind headlock than it is for blocking.. my mind was blown when I realized this
Nice very very help full. I actually got into wing chug more bc of you brother! Thank you for the videos. It helps people like me who don’t have wing chun dojo in there city
I'm very happy to hear you've found this video useful and that I have contributed in some small way to your Wing Chun journey. Its a shame you don't have a school local to you but always try to take in what can work for you and keep an open mind. All best, Neil
Hi Jerrydmann, thank you very much for your comment. Haha, this video was actually filmed at my students Osteopathy and Chiropractic clinic which is why the skeleton was also in the room. Thank you for watching and do stay tuned. All best
When do a bong sao should go outside the punsh - do not also get the punch in your face. Also have to work more from the buddy not from arms when go outside
you are right and wrong at the same time. I'll explain. you showed the standard distance for the wing chun technique, where it is effective, this is true. At the end they showed a “street” version of a direct strike (similar to a cross, overhand) in this strike the elbow is raised and it is more difficult to control the strike with the help of a bong sau from a longer distance. this is also true. and the truth is that these are the kind of blows you are most likely to receive in a modern fight. for such situations you can use pak sao and man sao and many other techniques. this is provided that you are ready for the attack and your reflexes, but reflexively the bong sau is often a blocking action in which you missed the moment of the start of the attack. and an attack at a longer distance comes as a complete surprise. so raising the elbow higher is a completely normal solution for bong sau both in wing chun and in other fighting systems. you really screwed it up in your example. and you can even perfectly check the correct boxing cross by choosing a longer distance from which such direct blows are delivered. and here the elbow at shoulder level in a bong sau will not save you from a blow, because this is a different blow and the elbow rises when the forearm is twisted. Raising the elbow just above the shoulder solves the problem very simply. and from an even longer distance, when the enemy’s direct blow fails, we have just a short distance and effective control of bong sau with the elbow at shoulder level, this is where kwan sau techniques and similar variations are based. or use an overhand elbow throw from the elbow techniques bil dze tau so a slight elbow lift may be completely normal and depends on the distance, but certainly works at closer distances. and no less important... the fact that when raising your elbow into a bong sau, you will not be able to protect the body - this is not true, be sure to train the correct return of the hand to the position (bai jong / jong sau) through a similar jute sau or sau ken (returning the hand to forms) and thus we get, after any variant of the bong sau, an immediate change of hand through the center (lowering the elbow). all this is easily visible in the development of forms and is staged like Chisau techniques, in a wooden mannequin and as a bonus. look at the forearm block in boxing. it is close to the bong sau in wing chun, I think that in wing chun this technique is more perfect. I mean that such a block with the forearm in boxing does not prevent them from effectively fighting, although it is done a little differently, but raising the elbow in a stand does not prevent them from closing the body afterward.
I appreciate your video. I’m 6’5 and the issue I have is keeping the shoulder down. Maybe some tension I’m not sure but it’s been an issue.
and I wish you great success, I sometimes see your videos on TH-cam and they are one of the few that show the real Wing Chun technique
Nicely done! Good explanation of why a Bong Sau is used in close range and not in long range.
