I did wing chun (JKD) for about three years. I once got attacked on the street and threw a bong sao which blocked the punch. I know wing chun works in a real fight because I have done it. The reality is that most "street fighters" are untrained and won't stay in there. So my one block did work. But he ran then.
1978 I remember whipping out a bong, and a peace to a brutha. He wanted to open a can of whoopass, I opened a pack of reefers. No punches were traded that day, we both high as kites, and we're still friends today.
Wing chun definitely works but is about gaining the centre line and keeping the attack going if someone moves backwards. You can dart forwards faster. The second form, "bridging the gap" also has the necessary kicks if a distance is created. But as many others say, it depends on the individual person and situation. There's no such thing as a technique that always works.
@tonydare7614 yeah but there is such a thing as techniques that work better than others/have a higher success rate. Sure wing chun might work OK against the untrained, but the reality is for the same time spent in wing chun you'd be better equipped if you just did boxing/kickboxing and grappling instead.
His comprehension of WC is very limited if he's promoting this. His Tan Da is so static, there is no delfection of energy or foot work. Of course you're gonna take a few to the face! And why punch the ribs first while that fist is coming at you? He's not even trying to slip the punch either. Wouldn't it be more efficient for a side kick to those ribs instead? But then again, I am responding with hypotheticals with more hypotheticals...
@@dannyjingu Agree. In WC you hit, you don't chase hands. Forward pressure - hit! Adjust. Hit! We don't play games like trapping for the sake of trapping. just hit the guy with the nearest weapon.
well I’ve seen his videos and he does mix it up pretty good. The right training, structure and footwork in WC absolutely wins in a streetfight but you gotta train hard and correctly for a few years. Not every school or person can do it. So he is correct for the 95% WC noobs out there and not correct for the 5% WC practitioners who does it right
Stances in wing chun are designed to close the gap and make contact with the opponents stance. Once contact is made you are to stick to and follow the adversary’s stance movement to destroy his structure while doing trapping hands. Theirs a wing chun saying that says if your sticking to him your unlikely to loose. This saying is from the kuen kuit.
If it takes you longer to punch in a straight line than a boxer throwing a hook, keep practicing. You can throw hypotheticals all day long. At the end of the day, it's the practitioner. Wing Chun works otherwise MMA fighters wouldn't use it.
Mma fighters don't use it, at least not successfully. Everyone always says "oh but Anderson silva" yeah the highlights where he does a couple bong Sao blocks are from fights he lost cause he missed most of his wing chun blocks and got punched in the face.. He literally ate more than twice his career average in strikes trying to make it work.. it literally made him a worse fighter.. if one of the best fighters in the world can barely make it work then it's bad.
@@mo-em1keMy Sifu, Jason Karol, would tell us every lesson, *"What's easy in the dojo is hard in real life. What's hard in the dojo is impossible in real life".* So unless people practice until it's second nature like boxers do, it won't be easier to use in a practical sense. And the scariest person in the dojo wasn't any of the Shifus but a small latina woman in her 40s who wasn't even 5ft tall. She was faster than your eyes could follow and so lean & muscular that her punches would stagger a 6'4" man who was twice if not thrice her weight. She was there 5-6 days a week for 3 years before I got there. Almost like something out of an anime honestly. [Edit: grammar]
@Yellowdigigod oh please youre full of it.. the little Latina woman was not the scariest person there.. when I was a 13 year old white belt in Japanese jiujitsu we had olympic level female grapplers and I ragdolled them all over the room because biology mate. The shear size difference made it impossible for them to beat me. the fact that you're acting like a 5 foot woman staggered 6'4 men makes me both laugh and immediately know you're lying and exaggerating... there's no way a 5 ft woman is staggering 6'4 men 2 or 3 x her weight.. the best female fighters in the world can't do that.. Also everything you said had nothing to do with what I said.. Anderson Silva is a world class fighting legend who trained like 8 hours a day and even he couldn't make the style work.. kung fu styles are just bad..
@Yellowdigigod yeah sure 5 foot latina women staggering 6'4 men.. yeah stop lying and exaggerating.. ive trained with olympic level female grapplers and even when I was a white belt they couldnt even budge me cause I'm 6ft2 and 1.5x their weight or more.. so yeah you're either lying or remembering your childhood wrong..
It really depends on which Wing Chun line. In WSL VingTsun you hunt the body, not the arms, and break the attacker's structure through dynamic forward pressure (step work is important here!) The VT punches are also very effective if they are trained appropriately with a lot of punch - if they hit, then this has an impact and the attacker will have a very difficult time landing his boxing punch at the same time!
Agreed Sifu, Im a wing chun practitioner but trained in CQC, Muay Thai and many others, a combination of all different styles is exactly what is required, as a former Police and Prison Officer one thing I learned in my career was people are unpredictable and your training has to change to suit as you said the environment your in. Inspirational Sifu
What's required is adaptability. You've accomplished that by hybridizing styles into something of your own. Wing Chun forms were described to be on day 1 as akin to an alphabet. Each is grouped together in forms but made of pieces which are able to be put together in any order depending on the situation. It's the most adaptable Martial Art, in my educated opinion. My Sifu was aware of its shortcomings however and taught Jeet Kun Do (JKD) alongside it. Not only that but there were kickboxing & MMA lessons too. So yeah in a way he was a JKD specialist but used JKD to reinforce its roots: Wing Chun & Boxing. On Fridays it was open dojo & sparing (low and no gear) so we got to see how all the Martial Arts taught there matched up with one another. It was also a way to measure our progress. Students of all ages that practiced just boxing/MMA were much more powerful in each strike but would more often lose to Wing Chun and JKD students, but JKD would out match Wing Chun more times than not. If someone was proficient in all of them they were untouchable except by the Sifus and this one 4'8" latina woman in her 40s who was so skilled in JKD & Wing Chun she could topple men 3x her size!
First form, you don’t just slap block. You can use the crane’s head. (It hooks) There are several ways to block besides the lop sou. Also, people don’t just back up. They freeze. Especially if you tag them while lop sou while they’re coming in. Just a thought.
Each style I was "taught well," the key 🗝️ is "taught well," worked in a street fight self defense situation. Wing Chun worked extremely well against multiple opponents, larger opponents, and one on one. But the 🗝️ key is that I was trained well. Poor training results in poor application! No matter the style find a real and true teacher! Style dont matter! Realistic training does!
Guys you don’t know what you’re talking about. Wing chun is super effective for real world use. Plus it don’t take too long to get good at it. 5 years and you’ll be a great fighter for sure. Yes there are other styles out there that are more powerful such as Muay Thai however Muay Thai will take twice as long to be able to generate all the raw power that professional fighters have.
Add Jeet Kun Do to your practice and you bolster the effectiveness of your Wing Chun! "What's easy in the dojo is hard in application; what's hard in the dojo is impossible in application" - Sifu Jason Karol
The most effective techniques are easy to counter and defend in your mind when someone is demonstrating them and breaking them down step by step. It's not so easy when you don't know what is coming, when its coming, or where it's coming. Wing Chun (Chinese Boxing) is one of the few martial arts outside of Jiu Jitsu that actually has street applicable techniques. Super legit.
"It's not so easy when you don't know what is coming, when its coming, or where it's coming" - This signifies, that you are not understanding / using WC properly. Your extended Lead Guard Arm... is supposed to be used to "Sweep" through the 3d Space... in the relative "Quadrant" that the attacker is attacking within. There are 4 major quadrants: Upper Left / Upper Right, Lower Left / Lower Right (low kicks would be the 5th). You dont have to be Accurate in your Sweeping Interceptions... Nor should you be deciding exactly which technique to use... like you might do in a WC partner Drill. Simply sweep your arm in the relative space, until it eventually meets the OPs arm (The arm shape doesnt matter that much). Its at that EXACT moment of Contact, that you can now use your WC.. based on what you are FEELING rather than that you SEEING. This is where your Sensitivity and Coordination training, takes over... As you are largely operating on a Subconscious level at that point (there is no Time to Think about what to do, in a real fight. If you have to think, you have been hit at least 2 to 3 times already). If you have trained your reflexes enough with your drills... then you should be pulling off the correct techniques, to do the job.. all at lightning speeds, and without the need to think about anything. Best Regards
I did 10 years in Prison and Survived just off of boxing 🥊 and Taekwondo 🥋 Start practicing wing chun when I got out so .Its all on the individual Been in over 100 fights before I entered any dojo
He made great good points in wing Chung. They forgot to rephrase that if. The person backs up that’s when the kicks comes in that’s why they got the Wing Chung kicks. The front kicks other kicks like sidekick really that’s why they rephrase and favored the sidekick, but the principal applies to every styles of Martial arts. Taekwondo karate doesn’t matter, but if they failed to and he made great points. If the person backing up the kicks get involved but if the attacker comes forward, this is when you’re doing your other tools like your head butts, shoulder butt and elbows and it applies it all styles that’s where it makes sense but developing the rhythm of how to adapt with your footwork that’s where it selects on his own and your techniques, but you have to also take away the way they do it in sports because it takes way the real purpose of why they do their attacks the way they do and it actually does more than what it normally do it does actual form of actual battlefield tactics
The low Wing Chun kicks directed at the knee or thigh are pretty good pre-emptive (interception) techniques during attack or defence...especially6 if the opponent moves back or advances across the "line".
Ive heard this same thiung for decades. Always remember a few ppl making the same mistake with bouncers in HK in the mid 80's. Those idiots were cleaned up in very short order. Bad form to make assumpotions about any style and whether its effective. Its the practitioner that counts
estoy totalmente de acuerdo,tambien se debe tener en cuenta que un arte marcial requiere su cuota de meditacion, respiracion y practica constante,es ridiculo que un tipo cualquiera de youtube tenga la soberbia de decir ´´éste arte marcial sirve,éste no´´
Please everyone remember that nothing stops you from a low kick to the inner knee or ankle when your are in any of the trapping moves shown in this video. Everything can be done simultaneous.
It's not the style of martial art which doesn't work, it's the person trying to perform it. Yes Wing Chun has it's flaws, but you have to be in a club which actually spars using the techniques, and learn to use the art in a real situation. So many people learn a martial art and never actually spar, and until you get used to contact, get used to being hit, you will always freeze when it happens for real. There are some good tutors and clubs out there, but many more bad ones unfortunately.
I was told this about Wing Chun by someone who was Inayan Eskrimador ironically. It was a lot of awkward figures of speech, but it made sense when I thought about it more. He told me that styles are like individual plots of land that you decide to own in your mind, with its uneven ground to practice being grounded on, possibly rubble of trees that either may or may not be cleared out, and whatever sort of landscaping venture you can think of is your decision. With this in mind, Wing Chun is a road, meant for you to get from one area to the other easily. With this in mind, we can't have a road without an area to put it on. Funny enough, someone asked with a snarky attitude, "Well, what about boats and aircraft? They don't need roads?" So he showed dude Tansao after saying "hook me", but in the way of Karate, Taekwondo, Krav Maga, Eskrima, and a variety of other styles with the same outcome to the move. Then he replied, "what about them?"
You explain the concepts so clearly and practically. Respect teacher. Wish i could train with you. I can see that the caption was meant to draw in the skeptics and convert them - clever!
Well I am not a martial arts master of Wing Chun but I am indeed a martial arts master with decades of training and teaching. And I have studied Wing Chun. You are using a very superficial evaluation of Wing Chun in specific and fighting general. Wing Chun can be highly effective street fighting. It depends on the range. And the things you say you would do in response you may not have time to do if you are dealing with a seriously well trained practitioner. I always love how different people claim that different things don't work for this or that. I love how people use terms like "street fighting" as if it's all one thing. That's ridiculous. It isn't..
All styles have strengths and weaknesses and all fights are different. Learning any martial art with help in some way, better than knowing nothing at all.
Yes! Mine said the same! Focus on their center, shoulder and upper arms! That telegraphs most attacks. When you chase hands you lose focus on your target.
As a fellow martial artist i will definitely agree that you need the mindset just as much as you need the physical capabilities. Lots of people just train and think they are covered if things turn south south. Its a totally different story when you are getting punches in the face in real time. Sitting back afterwards thinking i should of done this or that technique when the party is over, is too late. We've all done it! Get that sparring done and pressure testing in and get a game plan in your head all helps. Good luck to you all and stay safe.
You 1st counter punch to his rib cage is already using Wing Chun principles of intercepting. Also, trapping hands is not literally trapping hands, it is trapping the centre of mass / balance of opponent. These demos are mostly chasing hands, missing the crux of Wing Chun.
I really like this video. I agree with what you are saying. Chi Sao with more of a Chin Na approach as opposed to the slap game is a great bridge and possibly a missing range for most fighters. Pak Sao, Tan Sao, Fook Sao, Bon Sao and Garn Sao all have powerful applications. I would love to join the Budo Brothers team from here in San Diego, CA. Can we chat?
Firstly... If you think these punches are WEAK... its because you have never trained them to Masterclass levels. Properly performed WC strikes, are supposed to be Lethal, within INCHES of arm movement. WC schools teach the basic foundations of "Internal" striking... HOWEVER... MOST dont have the students practice short range power generation, and mastery of short range power. Any decent fighter can eventually get good power, from a full foot to foot and a half worth of Runway. However, very FEW fighters, are capable of Knockout power, within less than 6 inches. And even LESS fighters, are capable of Lethal levels of power, from a mere 2 inches or Less of travel. Yet... it IS possible, with the correct training methods, and Mastery. Im speaking, from actual experience: I used to KO disrespectful fighters, with my mostly extended LEAD guard hands, vertical fist punch, to their foreheads. I used less than 6 inches of arm travel... and I never used more than about 15% of what I was capable of delivering, to cause these EASY KO's. Back then, at full power... Im certain that my strikes would have been lethal within 3 inches... and about 90% certain... that I probably was actually lethal within 2 inches or less. Obviously, I could never Ethically test such power on living beings. That said... I have used FAJIN (Explosive Power), added to my Jut Sao (Downwards forearm deflection)... and with only about 10% on that one... I almost shattered an MMA Fighters arm. The injury that it caused, swelled up almost double in size within less than an hours time... and he was in severe pains for many days to follow. One problem with many WC practitioners, and people whom try to Mimic WCs techs... is the attempt to only use your arms, when you strike. A Proper WC strike, is a FULL BODY MASS strike... not merely just the arms. You have to learn how to connect your sum total body mass... at the very EXACT moment of solid Impact. You do this, by tightening all of your muscles quickly, within a fraction of a seconds worth of time... and then immediately relaxing again. This creates a Mass Unification, as well as a "Shock-Wave" of "Mass-Power". Its sort of like adding an Explosive Tip, to the end of an Arrow. The arrow alone, can be more than effective... but when you add an explosive tip to the arrow... it takes things to a whole other level. As far as Trapping goes... Wing Chun, was developed for a secret underground Rebellion, that was going to try to take control over the Corrupted people in power, of that ERA. They didnt have as many rebel fighters, as the Emperor... and so they could not afford to lose any of these fighters, in the first few seconds of an encounter. As such, WC is specifically designed with the principle of "SAFETY FIRST" (and above all else). This means, that if you simple charge in with rolling strikes... that you are NOT following the principles of WC... because any decent fighter, will use a powerful hook punch, to Drop you, as you attempt to land your own strikes. Additionally, WC's strikes are very Short in Range, for similar reasons. If you launch a long distance handstrike... fully locking your arm out... a Good fighter will either perform an instant Arm Break move... or they may use an ARM LOCK move (if they are being nicer)... or they will directly attack your now Open Ribcage (because your downwards elbow... is no longer protecting your ribs through most of your arms travel). As such... The proper way to use WC... is to trap Both arms, before you Ever even think about striking. When you parry the OPs lead attack... you should expect that they will Throw their rear hand attack. Plan on intercepting that hands attack, and at that point, you should be close enough, and fast enough, to land a very damaging hit, before they can step back away from you (so long, as you used the proper footwork, got close enough, and have good enough power to drop them in a one of two hits max). If they do Not launch the rear hand in time... then you might have a free hit. That said... always be prepared to change your movements, on the fly. You never fully commit in WC... until that very last split second, when your hand makes solid contact. Until that moment... you should be as relaxed as possible.. and thus, easily able to make rapid changes. Now... you also have to think about the differences, between Sparring, and actual barefist combat. Competition fighters, basically just Spar... and sparring isnt the same interactions as a real fight. They tend to jump around like rabbits... and Dance just outside of striking ranges. They are very cautious, about when they choose to enter... and they often back out just as quickly as they entered. However, the man at the PUB that thinks you slapped his GF's bottom... he isnt going to be cautious. He isnt going to dance around, outside of your range. He is going to be so full of rage, that he is willing to eat someones strikes... as he charges in like a BULL. His attacks will be fast, brutal, and relentless. He will continue to attack, until you either have dropped him... or he has dropped you... and turned your face into MUSH. As such, in real combat, you rarely have to "CHASE" the OP around... like you do in a sparring match / competition fighting. Its not that you cant CHASE the OP using WC. There are some methods for that. That said.. its also a dangerous thing to do, as the person whom enters first.. is the most vulnerable to being "Picked Off" on the way in. My choice of Entry methods, is often a "False Punch". A handstrike that is not in WC hitting range... but is close enough to get the OP to Defend against. Once they defend... you have your BRIDGE (connection) to their arm.. and can work safely from that point forwards. Actually, I tend to enter with a kick first... and when I plant down, I go into the false punch, and then into dual arm trapping. The kick doenst have to land. Its often just to get in closer range, with a bit greater safety. If they are good.. they will try to remain just outside of your kick range.. allowing them to try to counter strike you, once your leg lands firmly on the ground. If they are too fearful / not very good fighters... they will rush away from you as quickly and as far away as possible. At that point, they are not really a threat... so its no big deal. Either wait for them to try to enter into your space... or try to chase again. Just be warry, that chasing takes a lot of Stamina (Cardio must be excellent), and is again, still a riskier game to play. While you might choose to try to mix various things within your WC... Be aware of the defensive weaknesses, and potential counters, that you are giving the OP. Giving up your own safety, to try to Trade Blows... can end in you getting seriously injured, or even being carried away in a body bag.
Sorry you need to have more understanding of WC. It's not just about trapping it is also about angles. I can move forward quicker than anybody who can move back. Therefore my job of sticky hands will make this impossible for the person to escape. Trapping is not necessary about trapping the hands but Limiting their options. Good example as you demonstrate that trapping move your body to the left And you have counter he's left hand attack. But you're both hands are on the opponent. WC Is one of the best for close contact but is limited For long distance.
The problem with these types of videos is that y'all fail to realize that it is not a style of martial arts that wins fights, it is the spirit of the person fighting regardless of his chosen discipline.
It's a lot of factors but the style can have an impact. Iirc, Wing Chun is the youngest form of Kung Fu and designed to get the upper hand on opponents that can potentially be bigger and stronger than you. It's adaptable and if you practice Jeet Kun Do alongside it, you simply need to practice and have resolve to use it whenever the need arises.
All these Wing Chun won't work videos..are... in my opinion.... created by people who are terrible at Wing Chun. I feel like the question should be...why are so many people so bad at Wing Chun? There is a serious problem with the training of that system. In the training of a lot of systems, actually. They all need to do something about their impractical and unsuccessful teaching methods.
So many people are bad at it because it's bad. Even Anderson Silva one of the best fighters in the world couldn't use it successfully because every time he tried he ended up losing fights and eating more than twice his career average in strikes..
I enjoy Kevin Goat's video. He explains the process with details. I recently started taking JKD and the Sifu that teaches JKD has a great program as well. He teaches you Wing Chun too, what works and what does not work in real a fight. I was really fortunate to take Krav Maga for many years. Learning from someone that that served in the IDF in Israel. I have had shoulders injuries, broken ribs, back issues, neck issues from heavy sparring. KM is no joke. Now I am introducing JKD and Wing Chun. You really have to know the true concepts of Wing Chun to apply it in your fighting skills. I don't have the experiences of learning so many martial arts. But I also took boxing and I can tell you, if you have a background in boxing with other disciplines of Martial Arts. You do become more dangerous. Personally, I grew up street fighting. I don't know how many fights. You really don't count. Great video !!!
Muchos años atrás tuvimos un joven alumno que participaba con nuestro WT club en Phoenix. Él vino acá del grupo EBMAS de Cuba. Creo que su nombre fue Dailer Moreno, o algo así. Somos procedentes del sistema WT de Leung Ting de los años '80 y Emin era el mejor practicante de este sistema WT en el mundo, aun antes de formar EBMAS. Emin nunca perdió tiempo tratando de atrapar manos. El fue muy directo, pegandote en el primer instante. ¡Era verdaderamente asombroso! Así como también era mi maestro de Escrima, Rene Latosa (RIP). Saludos desde Arizona EEUU.
I have to disagree with you. This video I’ve done Wing Chun in the street and I got jumped and used it I took three guys out with wing chun that was bigger than me. now Intergrated Wing Chun by Sifu Chow shows the application of how to “Integrate” and adapt the style I’m not going to get all into it but be careful with videos not everything is shown and you really can train by just watching videos a lot of these martial artist that are doing videos had personal or open hand to hand training honestly shame on them that they are turning to video warriors but. With my personal hood experience that i had to learn to protect myself wing chun works just like everything. There is an old style wing chun and new integrated style wing chun.
wing chun is played by grudging from all sides with the alignement, and the hands is where the ribs are at you need space and patience too and lightness and heavyness in slow motion start by tacking out the trap tricks.
I like your video, but again you and many others think the chain punch is the only punch or strick we have. We have many different punches and strikes.
Wing Chun is about keeping pressure on the opponent, so he has no time to recover. Only wanting to trap is not Wing Chun. If u actually study the forms, u will see that it every movement is a solution. It all starts with your structure.
I have knocked loads off people out as a doorman using traditional martial arts ‘ no one skips around in a real fight, time mma practitioners and boxers realised without gloves fights end in seconds ‘ last fight two guys two punches ,speed counts most , I’m 5ft7in and I’m around 11 stone if you want to understand traditional martial arts read the bubishi Realise unconditioned hands won’t last in bare knuckle fights,
Wrong! The whole idea of Wing Chun is to strike on the center line! FIRST!!! Siu Lim Tau, 'Little Idea!' First thing is to find the center line, and attack it! If something gets in the way, then you deal with that! I know you may have been taught that the whole idea of Wing Chun is to trap, but if that's so, then you've been taught wrong! My sifu was taught be the Head of Yip Man's Organization after he retired from teaching. I don't think I need to say any more.
I find using WC (1-2 years) very hard in sparring, for me it mostly works in midt/close range for traping. if you get to close, it turnes into wrestling and you have to defend the take down. Longere range, kickboxing or karate works better for me and WC stance becomes insufficient.
In order for a fighter to get close, they need to get within range to make decent contact with you. In sparring, you often have to limit your techniques. As the typical response, is to simply Oblique Kick the OPs knee.. the exact moment that they step close enough to start to throw their punches. Also.. if they want to throw their Kicks... your goal should be to use your Lead leg, and "Leg Fence" their attempted kick. (Soft Interception methods, similar to WC arm techniques, but with the Leg). Unfortunately, WC's advanced Leg Fencing methods, are not taught until much later in the Art... which is a real problem, when you want to spar against even a mildly decent kicker. However, with the leg fencing technology... it becomes almost impossible for the typical martial artists, to be able to get a kick to land on you. Just like how it becomes almost impossible, for most fighters to get a head punch on you... when your WC arm defenses are so much more advanced. To use the WC low kicks in sparring... you have to be very careful of the power levels... and only use it when their legs are not fully straightened (you dont want to cause a hyper extension injury). That said.. you should throw them powerful enough, that when they impact... the OP will realize their potentials.. and may even complain about your Impact levels. This will often get them to RESPECT the technique, without having to Cripple them. It will also partially stop their advancement forwards... but... because its not going to be at a fight ending level of power... you will quickly have to adapt, preparing for their further entry forwards. Of course, if your short range lead leg kick has very little power... then this will also be just as much of an issue, as if your punches have low power, at close ranges. That is only solved, via a lot of dedicated short range power training sessions. I used to do 1 hr of that, every single night, for several consecutive months. Start out with 12 inches... and gradually work your way down to a single inch. As far as the WC stance goes... Make sure that you Always have your full body weight, over your REAR leg. Your lead legs foot, should be touching the ground, as lightly at a butterfly on a leaf. The reason, is that you need to be able to kick with that lead leg... or to use it to Defend against their attempted kick... within a Fraction of a Second time window. If there is any weight on your lead leg at all... its going to take way too long to shift your weight, before you can move that lead leg. This is why a lot of WC guys end up getting their legs Swept out from under them... or worse, getting their knees / legs kicked heavily. Think of your Legs and Arms, as if they were actual Fencing Foils / Swords. Also, I highly recommend doing a special drill... where you have a partner use BOTH of their arms to try to use boxing strikes to hit you with... while you are only using ONE arm, to defend against their Two. This will make you realize how WC is actually supposed to work in combat... and in the most extreme of bad positions and situations. It will require excellent and sometimes extreme footwork usage. And sometimes, a little creativity, in how to deal with certain kinds of situations that you get into. Make sure to train both arms, with an equal amount of time per arm (stopwatch / alarm the session times). And finally, dont make the mistake, of using a neutral stance in combat... most especially when the OP is far away. The neutral stance is mostly just for static distance training. When you spar / fight.. You always want a rear weighted leg... and a lead leg stance. Make sure both legs feet are pointing at a 45 degree angle. The Post legs knee should be directly in line with the Toes (deeply bent at all times). The heels of both feet should be on Two Separate lines, about 1ft apart (you dont want them on a single line.. as if you were on a skateboard.. As you will lose lateral stability that way). Now... even though you have a extended Lead Leg stance.. you still generally want your hips and shoulders to be SQUARED to the OP (Else one side of your limbs wont be able to reach the OP, if needed)
Actually, to be clear... I dont actually recommend Kicking the Kneecap itself. Either you kick upwards to the shin.. right below the knee, Or you kick downwards.. on the lower thigh.. just above the knee. The shockwaves will enter the Knee, from either direction, when you do it correctly... and with enough power. Too much power, could cause the fluid sack to burst.. so be careful, if you have reached a Masterclass level of power, with that kick. I once used about 15% on that kick... to a very disrespectful fighter. The resulting injury, took a month for him to fully recover from. Ever since, Ive learned to keep my emotions in check better... as well as keeping my power levels just outside of "Seriously damaging" levels. But, I still always give them enough of a STING, to let them know, that the kick... packs a pretty Serious Punch.
No the idea of Wing Chun is ro hit the man control the man not to trap the hands sure get the trap if you can but you shouldnt chase the hands if you had pak into him like you showed and step forward and punch you would control the man hard for him to punch you while getting punch in the face and being moved back and punch into the man not chain puches like in Yip Man movies your trying to cause damage not give them a massage
I find it interesting that you love the comments. Seems fairly arrogant of you to be so sure of your position. To say Wing Chun is all about trapping is one dimensional. Its self defense period. How many times do you think someone who is experienced in boxing or martial arts is going to rob you? How often are serious martial artists running around starting street fights. Trapping has its place if you can get it in great. If its not appropriate, then you dont do it. I hope I dont see any more of your click bait videos in my feed.
It works, and it works damn well. I had to use Wing Tsun twice and the others ended up in the hospital and I didn't have a scratch. The problem with videos or titles like that is that it depends on the user. If it doesn't work for you or you can't handle it, then it's not for you and you are the problem and not the art. Almost everyone who is passionate about a martial art wouldn't use it on the street against others. Only beginners who have just started or who have complexes would do that.
Did you know that the science of infighting doesn't work in a street fight, but somehow infighting boxing does? Wing chun fists, and any infighting teqniques, are the same. Just different names. You can find the exact same move from boxing in wing chun, no matter what you're looking for, plus extra that boxing doesn't have. It's actually great for any infighter, but to help you bridge the gap between different weapons. Teaches you how to use a lot of different stuff as a weapon. A rock, a hammer, a knife, you name it. 3 laws of physics. Kung fu lives in everything we do. Gravity, inertia, and the push-pull effect. You use your skeleton, to throw your weight. Form, muscular strength, and tendon strength, all go hand in hand. Although, without proper form, all is useless. How few people actually understand form, structure, and can actually fight, is scary. You can tell by how they walk. You can't hide your form. Your footing. What parts of your feet you stand on, and use to walk. A real fighter can take one look at how you're walking, and know everything about you. You'll know if it happens. Someone will smile once they look at your feet, and you won't know why. They know something you don't. Or they see your walk, and go quiet. You know why, in that moment, and so do they. Be careful, of how you walk. There are those out there who know everything about you from it. Not reading or answering any comments. Keep your eyes on the conjunction of their clavicle, to see what's coming. Don't look into the eyes.
I'll respond for you: yes. But be careful because without practice you'll get flattened. Get yourself a wooden dummy and some sort of partner to help you. Gets some pads, self practice.
I would say that sure you can learn the concepts, but you will get no experience of Chi Sau, which is a core concept in Wing Chun and you need a partner to jointly learn that.
Got a punch that cracked my nose, coming from one person out of a team of 5 people that suddenly jumped and surrounded me in the street. Here in Sweden they are called "kickers". Degenerates.... After the first punch ALL 5 people hit/kick me while I was on the ground. I jumped up quickly and used all force I had to bump back down for a low/spin-kick on their legs (180 degrees?). I hit quite a few legs actually, and a whole bunch of them fell over to the ground like bowling pins. Then I fled the scene. Me vs 5 and all it took was a quick "disabling" Wing Chun move that confused everyone to let me escape with just a bleeding nose.
It depend on how, and depend on the person, if boxing or BJJ practice just a sequence of rigit movements form and the acctual sparring just hit the sand bag, it will uneffective and not ready for real match or real fight.
there is no point learning the different ways chess pieces can move without being able to strategize. i am satisfied that with everyone going around screaming "kung fu is bs kung fu is bs" someone who actually knows wing chun strategy, not just what the different moves the inventors of wing chun came up with, is being fair and clearing things up about wing chun. unfortunately the world is still so immature that partially some tattoos and muscles were needed to stand up for kung fu. i hope soon enough people will use kung fu in serious mma and bring back the ancient arts. this is not just good for kung fu practitioners. for mma fighters kung fu is like an uncharted ocean. very few masters know what they are doing. you need a high fight iq to naviguate the bullshido and the real kung fu. but if you can successfully think using kung fu and not just know it at a superficial level you can destroy "plateau-ing". but remember the key to this ocean is not finding a true master. they barely exist. its playing the fool and stealing ur kung fu teacher's knowledge. there are so few true masters. if it doesnt make sense and ur fight iq is high. it doesn't. its not mma where everyone is a rebel. thats why there is no bullshido. noone is afraid to beeak emperor's clothes and point things out. so bring rebel to kung fu. sign up for kung fu with your muscular mma friends. rebel. resist when they try to force it. that is how kung fu was anyways. and that is how fighting teachers should be. if they dont hold water...
If this is that. It goes on for ever.... Don't ever let your cup get full... Try things... try everything cause anything can and will happen... Don't limit yourself....
Everybody these days has a TH-cam channel and an opinion about something. Why don't you ask an expert like Grand Master William Chung who was a fellow student with Bruce Lee under IPman. There are too many variables involved. I would have loved it if you had told Bruce Lee that Wing Chun doesn't work in a street fight.
That's right... If you are a 5° Student Grade as much in Wing Tsun. It's different 3° Technical Grade and beyond. Even it't seems another style. But it's the same system, beacuse Wing Tsun are concepts, not technics. What you show here are games from Lat Sao for students to get some skills, but it's too difficult to defend yourself against someone stronger and with better timing than yours. The students without patience go out and say Wing Tsun doesn't work for selfdefense. Of course It doesn't, keep on training and then you Will see. If you are not patience, better do boxing, It is a great sport and useful in a most of street fights. Greeetings😊🙏
there is no back up sir. the answer for pinned arms is in the dummy. after gaan sau, comes Kwan sau, which must be circular. it unpins the arms without back step, breaking the constant linear lines. You haven't gone deep enough
Its all in the Wing Chun. Only if you are stone dead then you dont know Wing Chun kick when your opponent run away kicking distance. Wing Chun have hook and also blade hand if you quenched your fist its a hook. The way to move your hand in the hook polar already. It depends on you want to give him a knuckle, a blade hand or a slap or a pheonyx fist, a thumb thrust or anything you want. The requirement is to make any easiest way of defence and action in any condition ,Wing Chun or Kungfu fluid like water concept .You need to be able do such action "as for an easy ride"when you already on the way or in the crossroad to change any direction you want.
Your analogy is faulty. However, as an instructor in the original mix martial arts because currently it's only jujitsu and muay Thai. I agree with you that everything works and nothing works depends on the circumstance. I always tell that to my students
Within the first 21 seconds this video is wrong. The object of Wing Chun is not to trap, it is to hit - trapping is just one option that may assist you to do so. And if your attacker moves back, you are just being dumb if you don't follow him, keeping him in striking range.
Now I wanna see a Kickboxer or a Grappler in a Bathroom Stall 🤣🤣 You guys know the scene in Kiss of the Dragon where Jet Li lures the blond guys into the small offices to rob them of their Kickking? Had to think about that scene while watching.
Wing Chun people need to be better communicators. It seems like so many practise that style but no can say, in a simple fashion, how it works. Something is getting lost, in my opinion.
all is good but the idea is to get the 1st and perhaps another couple of hits. if you can not bring someone away from you with these punches Don't get into fights!
Usually dont comment because its a waste of time, seen a common comment about this art (boxing) take one class youll see why chun doesnt work. All chun isnt the same do they run drills, spar. Id say 99 percent of chun guys dont spar just chi sau and forms ,and out of the 1 percent that spar maybe 99 percent are wild no technique just flailing and brawling but when you find a guy that uses chun techniques it resembles all kickboxing arts to the naked eye power, flowing.
Agree, a lot of Wing Chun lacks proper sparring...drills and applications with compliant "opponents" who offer no resistance is a waste of time. With hard sparring Wing Chun can actually be pretty good depending on the teacher etc.
I once did wind chun and got attacked by 12 strangers all welding blunt weapons. 1 punch. I kid you not 1 punch sent them all flying across the street. It works y'all 😎
Grabbing and holding an attackers arm has achieved nothing other than trapping your own hand as well. He can still hit you with his other arm (or legs) as well.
Wing Chun is an internal martial art, and without that understanding you expose yourself as only dealing with strength and structure thus ignoring the essence or principle factor which gives the art its ability to dominate! Internal martial arts teaches you a quality you cannot develop using muscle tension, which runs counter to the arts power to manipulate an opponent’s strength and structure and deliver devastating strikes! Anyone serious about learning Wing Chun should only listen to practitioners who illustrate and demonstrate its internal aspects, which is the highest level of fighting! An analogy is kinda like a regular army grunt vs special forces! Both are highly trained, but the latter far exceeds the limits of the former. 😳🤦🏻♂️🙄/👌✌️🤲☝️🤔
Bs Wing Chun does work, I've used it bouncing. Watch Master Wong he's legit and funny af. Also SEAL's use the trapping to pin the arms in order to pull a knife or gun to finish the job
Jeet Kune Do? Bruce Lee studied Western boxing in Edward Haislett's little book: Boxing. However, JKD,as a martial art ineffective. Maybe against a beginner or rookie
Gotta love when people talk about a Martial Art they know nothing about as this guy does. He starts out with false information saying Wing Chun is all about Trapping...WRONG! Remember this Budo Bros. know nothing about Wing Chun so he will say anything since he knows nothing. FYI...Trapping is just one aspect of Wing Chun and it works if you know how and when to use which you clearly don't. Just making some corrections to more misleading information from people that don't have a clue what they're talking about...obviously he's never taken one class of Wing Chun...I took it for three years...I know what I'm talking about and you're welcome.
Maybe YOU cant make it work . . . maybe you should go back to basics and try to figure out why it doesnt work for you? Truth be told most arts fail in the application, if your applying the art using traditional methods and im guessing from the first words i heard here you probably are, then your gonna fail . . . Action will always be faster than reaction so if your looking to block and counter in a street fight then your gonna be dissapointed. So figure out where your going wrong, analyze what happened then correct that mistake rather than post a vido (with the usual clickbait titles) telling us all how the art failed you when in reality you failed the art
Per strada devi chiudere la distanza...non devi fare mica sparring .se ti attaccano chiudi la distanza col win chun..e non dai il tempo per reagire..non e mica tuo tube la.strada .
I did wing chun (JKD) for about three years. I once got attacked on the street and threw a bong sao which blocked the punch. I know wing chun works in a real fight because I have done it. The reality is that most "street fighters" are untrained and won't stay in there. So my one block did work. But he ran then.
Bong Sao helped me too, but only in sparring. Bong Sao is also quite good against headbutts.
I never trained but I also knocked somebody out with a bong.
Now he has stitches and I have to roll joints. 😢
1978 I remember whipping out a bong, and a peace to a brutha. He wanted to open a can of whoopass, I opened a pack of reefers. No punches were traded that day, we both high as kites, and we're still friends today.
With every art, there are some minor modifications needed for it to work effectively.
Except you will always lose in a grappling match
Wing chun definitely works but is about gaining the centre line and keeping the attack going if someone moves backwards. You can dart forwards faster. The second form, "bridging the gap" also has the necessary kicks if a distance is created. But as many others say, it depends on the individual person and situation. There's no such thing as a technique that always works.
@tonydare7614 yeah but there is such a thing as techniques that work better than others/have a higher success rate.
Sure wing chun might work OK against the untrained, but the reality is for the same time spent in wing chun you'd be better equipped if you just did boxing/kickboxing and grappling instead.
Not sure what lineage of WC you do, but take a look at WSL VT. WC absolutely works in a street fight.
Click bait title \ Subject line
His comprehension of WC is very limited if he's promoting this. His Tan Da is so static, there is no delfection of energy or foot work. Of course you're gonna take a few to the face! And why punch the ribs first while that fist is coming at you? He's not even trying to slip the punch either. Wouldn't it be more efficient for a side kick to those ribs instead? But then again, I am responding with hypotheticals with more hypotheticals...
@@dannyjingu Agree. In WC you hit, you don't chase hands. Forward pressure - hit! Adjust. Hit! We don't play games like trapping for the sake of trapping. just hit the guy with the nearest weapon.
What?! I guess he forgot about foot work needs to be incorporated. ..so many other steps he is missing..I'm too tired to explain 😢
well I’ve seen his videos and he does mix it up pretty good. The right training, structure and footwork in WC absolutely wins in a streetfight but you gotta train hard and correctly for a few years. Not every school or person can do it. So he is correct for the 95% WC noobs out there and not correct for the 5% WC practitioners who does it right
Where did you learn your WC because it is not about trapping.
Stances in wing chun are designed to close the gap and make contact with the opponents stance.
Once contact is made you are to stick to and follow the adversary’s stance movement to destroy his structure while doing trapping hands.
Theirs a wing chun saying that says if your sticking to him your unlikely to loose.
This saying is from the kuen kuit.
Ah yes. The wing chun maxims . Love em

- Sifu Jason Karol
If it takes you longer to punch in a straight line than a boxer throwing a hook, keep practicing. You can throw hypotheticals all day long. At the end of the day, it's the practitioner. Wing Chun works otherwise MMA fighters wouldn't use it.
Mma fighters don't use it, at least not successfully.
Everyone always says "oh but Anderson silva" yeah the highlights where he does a couple bong Sao blocks are from fights he lost cause he missed most of his wing chun blocks and got punched in the face..
He literally ate more than twice his career average in strikes trying to make it work.. it literally made him a worse fighter.. if one of the best fighters in the world can barely make it work then it's bad.
In short spurts, they use it. Anytime they go up against an MMA fighter, like in China, they get absolutely destroyed.
@@mo-em1keMy Sifu, Jason Karol, would tell us every lesson, *"What's easy in the dojo is hard in real life. What's hard in the dojo is impossible in real life".*
So unless people practice until it's second nature like boxers do, it won't be easier to use in a practical sense.
And the scariest person in the dojo wasn't any of the Shifus but a small latina woman in her 40s who wasn't even 5ft tall. She was faster than your eyes could follow and so lean & muscular that her punches would stagger a 6'4" man who was twice if not thrice her weight.
She was there 5-6 days a week for 3 years before I got there. Almost like something out of an anime honestly.
[Edit: grammar]
@Yellowdigigod oh please youre full of it.. the little Latina woman was not the scariest person there.. when I was a 13 year old white belt in Japanese jiujitsu we had olympic level female grapplers and I ragdolled them all over the room because biology mate. The shear size difference made it impossible for them to beat me. the fact that you're acting like a 5 foot woman staggered 6'4 men makes me both laugh and immediately know you're lying and exaggerating... there's no way a 5 ft woman is staggering 6'4 men 2 or 3 x her weight.. the best female fighters in the world can't do that..
Also everything you said had nothing to do with what I said.. Anderson Silva is a world class fighting legend who trained like 8 hours a day and even he couldn't make the style work.. kung fu styles are just bad..
@Yellowdigigod yeah sure 5 foot latina women staggering 6'4 men.. yeah stop lying and exaggerating.. ive trained with olympic level female grapplers and even when I was a white belt they couldnt even budge me cause I'm 6ft2 and 1.5x their weight or more.. so yeah you're either lying or remembering your childhood wrong..
It really depends on which Wing Chun line. In WSL VingTsun you hunt the body, not the arms, and break the attacker's structure through dynamic forward pressure (step work is important here!)
The VT punches are also very effective if they are trained appropriately with a lot of punch - if they hit, then this has an impact and the attacker will have a very difficult time landing his boxing punch at the same time!
Agreed Sifu, Im a wing chun practitioner but trained in CQC, Muay Thai and many others, a combination of all different styles is exactly what is required, as a former Police and Prison Officer one thing I learned in my career was people are unpredictable and your training has to change to suit as you said the environment your in.
Inspirational Sifu
What's required is adaptability. You've accomplished that by hybridizing styles into something of your own.
Wing Chun forms were described to be on day 1 as akin to an alphabet. Each is grouped together in forms but made of pieces which are able to be put together in any order depending on the situation. It's the most adaptable Martial Art, in my educated opinion. My Sifu was aware of its shortcomings however and taught Jeet Kun Do (JKD) alongside it. Not only that but there were kickboxing & MMA lessons too. So yeah in a way he was a JKD specialist but used JKD to reinforce its roots: Wing Chun & Boxing.
On Fridays it was open dojo & sparing (low and no gear) so we got to see how all the Martial Arts taught there matched up with one another. It was also a way to measure our progress. Students of all ages that practiced just boxing/MMA were much more powerful in each strike but would more often lose to Wing Chun and JKD students, but JKD would out match Wing Chun more times than not. If someone was proficient in all of them they were untouchable except by the Sifus and this one 4'8" latina woman in her 40s who was so skilled in JKD & Wing Chun she could topple men 3x her size!
First form, you don’t just slap block. You can use the crane’s head. (It hooks) There are several ways to block besides the lop sou. Also, people don’t just back up. They freeze. Especially if you tag them while lop sou while they’re coming in. Just a thought.
Each style I was "taught well," the key 🗝️ is "taught well," worked in a street fight self defense situation. Wing Chun worked extremely well against multiple opponents, larger opponents, and one on one. But the 🗝️ key is that I was trained well. Poor training results in poor application! No matter the style find a real and true teacher! Style dont matter! Realistic training does!
A very good point.
Guys you don’t know what you’re talking about. Wing chun is super effective for real world use. Plus it don’t take too long to get good at it. 5 years and you’ll be a great fighter for sure. Yes there are other styles out there that are more powerful such as Muay Thai however Muay Thai will take twice as long to be able to generate all the raw power that professional fighters have.
Add Jeet Kun Do to your practice and you bolster the effectiveness of your Wing Chun!
"What's easy in the dojo is hard in application; what's hard in the dojo is impossible in application"
- Sifu Jason Karol
The most effective techniques are easy to counter and defend in your mind when someone is demonstrating them and breaking them down step by step. It's not so easy when you don't know what is coming, when its coming, or where it's coming. Wing Chun (Chinese Boxing) is one of the few martial arts outside of Jiu Jitsu that actually has street applicable techniques. Super legit.
"It's not so easy when you don't know what is coming, when its coming, or where it's coming"
- This signifies, that you are not understanding / using WC properly. Your extended Lead Guard Arm... is supposed to be used to "Sweep" through the 3d Space... in the relative "Quadrant" that the attacker is attacking within. There are 4 major quadrants: Upper Left / Upper Right, Lower Left / Lower Right (low kicks would be the 5th). You dont have to be Accurate in your Sweeping Interceptions...
Nor should you be deciding exactly which technique to use... like you might do in a WC partner Drill. Simply sweep your arm in the relative space, until it eventually meets the OPs arm (The arm shape doesnt matter that much). Its at that EXACT moment of Contact, that you can now use your WC.. based on what you are FEELING rather than that you SEEING. This is where your Sensitivity and Coordination training, takes over... As you are largely operating on a Subconscious level at that point (there is no Time to Think about what to do, in a real fight. If you have to think, you have been hit at least 2 to 3 times already).
If you have trained your reflexes enough with your drills... then you should be pulling off the correct techniques, to do the job.. all at lightning speeds, and without the need to think about anything.

respect for you
give jeet kune do a try, though its not an official art the teachings and philosophy will let you make your own style
@@urbcatHow is Jeet Kun Do not official? It's just a hybrid of kickboxing & Wing Chun.
@@Yellowdigigod its whatever I say it is, or you say it is. its what works and what doesn't.
He made great good points in wing Chung. They forgot to rephrase that if. The person backs up that’s when the kicks comes in that’s why they got the Wing Chung kicks. The front kicks other kicks like sidekick really that’s why they rephrase and favored the sidekick, but the principal applies to every styles of Martial arts. Taekwondo karate doesn’t matter, but if they failed to and he made great points. If the person backing up the kicks get involved but if the attacker comes forward, this is when you’re doing your other tools like your head butts, shoulder butt and elbows and it applies it all styles that’s where it makes sense but developing the rhythm of how to adapt with your footwork that’s where it selects on his own and your techniques, but you have to also take away the way they do it in sports because it takes way the real purpose of why they do their attacks the way they do and it actually does more than what it normally do it does actual form of actual battlefield tactics
The low Wing Chun kicks directed at the knee or thigh are pretty good pre-emptive (interception) techniques during attack or defence...especially6 if the opponent moves back or advances across the "line".
Ive heard this same thiung for decades. Always remember a few ppl making the same mistake with bouncers in HK in the mid 80's. Those idiots were cleaned up in very short order. Bad form to make assumpotions about any style and whether its effective. Its the practitioner that counts
estoy totalmente de acuerdo,tambien se debe tener en cuenta que un arte marcial requiere su cuota de meditacion, respiracion y practica constante,es ridiculo que un tipo cualquiera de youtube tenga la soberbia de decir ´´éste arte marcial sirve,éste no´´
Please everyone remember that nothing stops you from a low kick to the inner knee or ankle when your are in any of the trapping moves shown in this video. Everything can be done simultaneous.
Well detail appreciated the lesson
It's not the style of martial art which doesn't work, it's the person trying to perform it.
Yes Wing Chun has it's flaws, but you have to be in a club which actually spars using the techniques, and learn to use the art in a real situation.
So many people learn a martial art and never actually spar, and until you get used to contact, get used to being hit, you will always freeze when it happens for real.
There are some good tutors and clubs out there, but many more bad ones unfortunately.
I was told this about Wing Chun by someone who was Inayan Eskrimador ironically. It was a lot of awkward figures of speech, but it made sense when I thought about it more. He told me that styles are like individual plots of land that you decide to own in your mind, with its uneven ground to practice being grounded on, possibly rubble of trees that either may or may not be cleared out, and whatever sort of landscaping venture you can think of is your decision. With this in mind, Wing Chun is a road, meant for you to get from one area to the other easily. With this in mind, we can't have a road without an area to put it on. Funny enough, someone asked with a snarky attitude, "Well, what about boats and aircraft? They don't need roads?" So he showed dude Tansao after saying "hook me", but in the way of Karate, Taekwondo, Krav Maga, Eskrima, and a variety of other styles with the same outcome to the move. Then he replied, "what about them?"
You explain the concepts so clearly and practically. Respect teacher. Wish i could train with you. I can see that the caption was meant to draw in the skeptics and convert them - clever!
Well I am not a martial arts master of Wing Chun but I am indeed a martial arts master with decades of training and teaching. And I have studied Wing Chun. You are using a very superficial evaluation of Wing Chun in specific and fighting general. Wing Chun can be highly effective street fighting. It depends on the range. And the things you say you would do in response you may not have time to do if you are dealing with a seriously well trained practitioner. I always love how different people claim that different things don't work for this or that. I love how people use terms like "street fighting" as if it's all one thing. That's ridiculous. It isn't..
All styles have strengths and weaknesses and all fights are different. Learning any martial art with help in some way, better than knowing nothing at all.
My Wing Chun sifu said stop chasing hands and hit your target. When you are doing seeing chi sao use fish eyes.
Yes! Mine said the same! Focus on their center, shoulder and upper arms! That telegraphs most attacks. When you chase hands you lose focus on your target.
remember thats all just material art, basicly its depands on the individu its self. choose the best option that fits to you
As a fellow martial artist i will definitely agree that you need the mindset just as much as you need the physical capabilities.
Lots of people just train and think they are covered if things turn south south.
Its a totally different story when you are getting punches in the face in real time.
Sitting back afterwards thinking i should of done this or that technique when the party is over, is too late. We've all done it!
Get that sparring done and pressure testing in and get a game plan in your head all helps.
Good luck to you all and stay safe.
You 1st counter punch to his rib cage is already using Wing Chun principles of intercepting. Also, trapping hands is not literally trapping hands, it is trapping the centre of mass / balance of opponent. These demos are mostly chasing hands, missing the crux of Wing Chun.
The philosophy of the center line works for different styles. You are either where they are striking, or not....
I really like this video. I agree with what you are saying. Chi Sao with more of a Chin Na approach as opposed to the slap game is a great bridge and possibly a missing range for most fighters. Pak Sao, Tan Sao, Fook Sao, Bon Sao and Garn Sao all have powerful applications. I would love to join the Budo Brothers team from here in San Diego, CA. Can we chat?
‘If you trap, trap. If you don’t trap, box. If you can’t box, kick. But why not mold them all together…”. That’s JKD.
Wonderful lesson. Thank you so much for sharing.
I have been doing JKD for a long time and you are correct. Very great lesson!
How about various responses when your arms (plural) are trapped or about to be?
Firstly... If you think these punches are WEAK... its because you have never trained them to Masterclass levels. Properly performed WC strikes, are supposed to be Lethal, within INCHES of arm movement. WC schools teach the basic foundations of "Internal" striking... HOWEVER... MOST dont have the students practice short range power generation, and mastery of short range power. Any decent fighter can eventually get good power, from a full foot to foot and a half worth of Runway. However, very FEW fighters, are capable of Knockout power, within less than 6 inches. And even LESS fighters, are capable of Lethal levels of power, from a mere 2 inches or Less of travel. Yet... it IS possible, with the correct training methods, and Mastery. Im speaking, from actual experience:
I used to KO disrespectful fighters, with my mostly extended LEAD guard hands, vertical fist punch, to their foreheads. I used less than 6 inches of arm travel... and I never used more than about 15% of what I was capable of delivering, to cause these EASY KO's. Back then, at full power... Im certain that my strikes would have been lethal within 3 inches... and about 90% certain... that I probably was actually lethal within 2 inches or less. Obviously, I could never Ethically test such power on living beings. That said... I have used FAJIN (Explosive Power), added to my Jut Sao (Downwards forearm deflection)... and with only about 10% on that one... I almost shattered an MMA Fighters arm. The injury that it caused, swelled up almost double in size within less than an hours time... and he was in severe pains for many days to follow.
One problem with many WC practitioners, and people whom try to Mimic WCs techs... is the attempt to only use your arms, when you strike. A Proper WC strike, is a FULL BODY MASS strike... not merely just the arms. You have to learn how to connect your sum total body mass... at the very EXACT moment of solid Impact. You do this, by tightening all of your muscles quickly, within a fraction of a seconds worth of time... and then immediately relaxing again. This creates a Mass Unification, as well as a "Shock-Wave" of "Mass-Power". Its sort of like adding an Explosive Tip, to the end of an Arrow. The arrow alone, can be more than effective... but when you add an explosive tip to the arrow... it takes things to a whole other level.
As far as Trapping goes...
Wing Chun, was developed for a secret underground Rebellion, that was going to try to take control over the Corrupted people in power, of that ERA. They didnt have as many rebel fighters, as the Emperor... and so they could not afford to lose any of these fighters, in the first few seconds of an encounter. As such, WC is specifically designed with the principle of "SAFETY FIRST" (and above all else).
This means, that if you simple charge in with rolling strikes... that you are NOT following the principles of WC... because any decent fighter, will use a powerful hook punch, to Drop you, as you attempt to land your own strikes.
Additionally, WC's strikes are very Short in Range, for similar reasons. If you launch a long distance handstrike... fully locking your arm out... a Good fighter will either perform an instant Arm Break move... or they may use an ARM LOCK move (if they are being nicer)... or they will directly attack your now Open Ribcage (because your downwards elbow... is no longer protecting your ribs through most of your arms travel).
As such... The proper way to use WC... is to trap Both arms, before you Ever even think about striking. When you parry the OPs lead attack... you should expect that they will Throw their rear hand attack. Plan on intercepting that hands attack, and at that point, you should be close enough, and fast enough, to land a very damaging hit, before they can step back away from you (so long, as you used the proper footwork, got close enough, and have good enough power to drop them in a one of two hits max). If they do Not launch the rear hand in time... then you might have a free hit. That said... always be prepared to change your movements, on the fly. You never fully commit in WC... until that very last split second, when your hand makes solid contact. Until that moment... you should be as relaxed as possible.. and thus, easily able to make rapid changes.
Now... you also have to think about the differences, between Sparring, and actual barefist combat. Competition fighters, basically just Spar... and sparring isnt the same interactions as a real fight. They tend to jump around like rabbits... and Dance just outside of striking ranges. They are very cautious, about when they choose to enter... and they often back out just as quickly as they entered. However, the man at the PUB that thinks you slapped his GF's bottom... he isnt going to be cautious. He isnt going to dance around, outside of your range. He is going to be so full of rage, that he is willing to eat someones strikes... as he charges in like a BULL. His attacks will be fast, brutal, and relentless. He will continue to attack, until you either have dropped him... or he has dropped you... and turned your face into MUSH.
As such, in real combat, you rarely have to "CHASE" the OP around... like you do in a sparring match / competition fighting. Its not that you cant CHASE the OP using WC. There are some methods for that. That said.. its also a dangerous thing to do, as the person whom enters first.. is the most vulnerable to being "Picked Off" on the way in. My choice of Entry methods, is often a "False Punch". A handstrike that is not in WC hitting range... but is close enough to get the OP to Defend against. Once they defend... you have your BRIDGE (connection) to their arm.. and can work safely from that point forwards.
Actually, I tend to enter with a kick first... and when I plant down, I go into the false punch, and then into dual arm trapping. The kick doenst have to land. Its often just to get in closer range, with a bit greater safety. If they are good.. they will try to remain just outside of your kick range.. allowing them to try to counter strike you, once your leg lands firmly on the ground. If they are too fearful / not very good fighters... they will rush away from you as quickly and as far away as possible. At that point, they are not really a threat... so its no big deal. Either wait for them to try to enter into your space... or try to chase again. Just be warry, that chasing takes a lot of Stamina (Cardio must be excellent), and is again, still a riskier game to play.
While you might choose to try to mix various things within your WC... Be aware of the defensive weaknesses, and potential counters, that you are giving the OP. Giving up your own safety, to try to Trade Blows... can end in you getting seriously injured, or even being carried away in a body bag.
Sorry you need to have more understanding of WC. It's not just about trapping it is also about angles. I can move forward quicker than anybody who can move back. Therefore my job of sticky hands will make this impossible for the person to escape. Trapping is not necessary about trapping the hands but Limiting their options. Good example as you demonstrate that trapping move your body to the left And you have counter he's left hand attack. But you're both hands are on the opponent. WC Is one of the best for close contact but is limited For long distance.
The problem with these types of videos is that y'all fail to realize that it is not a style of martial arts that wins fights, it is the spirit of the person fighting regardless of his chosen discipline.
It's a lot of factors but the style can have an impact. Iirc, Wing Chun is the youngest form of Kung Fu and designed to get the upper hand on opponents that can potentially be bigger and stronger than you. It's adaptable and if you practice Jeet Kun Do alongside it, you simply need to practice and have resolve to use it whenever the need arises.
All these Wing Chun won't work videos..are... in my opinion.... created by people who are terrible at Wing Chun. I feel like the question should be...why are so many people so bad at Wing Chun? There is a serious problem with the training of that system. In the training of a lot of systems, actually. They all need to do something about their impractical and unsuccessful teaching methods.
So many people are bad at it because it's bad. Even Anderson Silva one of the best fighters in the world couldn't use it successfully because every time he tried he ended up losing fights and eating more than twice his career average in strikes..
@@mo-em1ke I think that point was covered by Davids comment
@philipfirks7755 oh so I'm not allowed to agree and expand on it with my opinion? G t f o here troll
@philipfirks7755 so I'm not allowed to agree and expand on the comment? Why don't you say something useful instead...
I enjoy Kevin Goat's video. He explains the process with details. I recently started taking JKD and the Sifu that teaches JKD has a great program as well. He teaches you Wing Chun too, what works and what does not work in real a fight. I was really fortunate to take Krav Maga for many years. Learning from someone that that served in the IDF in Israel. I have had shoulders injuries, broken ribs, back issues, neck issues from heavy sparring. KM is no joke. Now I am introducing JKD and Wing Chun. You really have to know the true concepts of Wing Chun to apply it in your fighting skills. I don't have the experiences of learning so many martial arts. But I also took boxing and I can tell you, if you have a background in boxing with other disciplines of Martial Arts. You do become more dangerous. Personally, I grew up street fighting. I don't know how many fights. You really don't count. Great video !!!
Un saludo desde Cuba. Es un error decir que no funciona. Eso depende del lineage. La EBMAS si funciona
Muchos años atrás tuvimos un joven alumno que participaba con nuestro WT club en Phoenix. Él vino acá del grupo EBMAS de Cuba. Creo que su nombre fue Dailer Moreno, o algo así. Somos procedentes del sistema WT de Leung Ting de los años '80 y Emin era el mejor practicante de este sistema WT en el mundo, aun antes de formar EBMAS. Emin nunca perdió tiempo tratando de atrapar manos. El fue muy directo, pegandote en el primer instante. ¡Era verdaderamente asombroso! Así como también era mi maestro de Escrima, Rene Latosa (RIP). Saludos desde Arizona EEUU.
Great demo guys. PS, that roundhouse was quality.🔥♥️🔥
Couldn't you create a sort of bathroom by using Heun Bo with Lop Sao? Make it so if they move backwards they trip
I have to disagree with you. This video I’ve done Wing Chun in the street and I got jumped and used it I took three guys out with wing chun that was bigger than me. now Intergrated Wing Chun by Sifu Chow shows the application of how to “Integrate” and adapt the style I’m not going to get all into it but be careful with videos not everything is shown and you really can train by just watching videos a lot of these martial artist that are doing videos had personal or open hand to hand training honestly shame on them that they are turning to video warriors but. With my personal hood experience that i had to learn to protect myself wing chun works just like everything. There is an old style wing chun and new integrated style wing chun.
for sure you did not followed the ving tsun from wong shuen lung and barry lee. they would have a great laugh about this .
wing chun is played by grudging from all sides with the alignement, and the hands is where the ribs are at you need space and patience too and lightness and heavyness in slow motion start by tacking out the trap tricks.
Go to a shaolin monks and challenge them for a fight you'll get your answers there
I like your video, but again you and many others think the chain punch is the only punch or strick we have. We have many different punches and strikes.
How many street fights did it take for you to figure that out?
when you are that close at 12 seconds and he backs up thats where your chi sao should kick in and you follow keeping that contact
Wing Chun is about keeping pressure on the opponent, so he has no time to recover. Only wanting to trap is not Wing Chun. If u actually study the forms, u will see that it every movement is a solution. It all starts with your structure.
I have knocked loads off people out as a doorman using traditional martial arts ‘ no one skips around in a real fight, time mma practitioners and boxers realised without gloves fights end in seconds ‘ last fight two guys two punches ,speed counts most , I’m 5ft7in and I’m around 11 stone if you want to understand traditional martial arts read the bubishi Realise unconditioned hands won’t last in bare knuckle fights,
Wrong! The whole idea of Wing Chun is to strike on the center line! FIRST!!! Siu Lim Tau, 'Little Idea!' First thing is to find the center line, and attack it! If something gets in the way, then you deal with that! I know you may have been taught that the whole idea of Wing Chun is to trap, but if that's so, then you've been taught wrong! My sifu was taught be the Head of Yip Man's Organization after he retired from teaching. I don't think I need to say any more.
Actually, it does. You can always mix it with a kick if opponent retreats midway into the technique
You can also step on their lead foot 🦶 in order to give your opponent problems.
I find using WC (1-2 years) very hard in sparring, for me it mostly works in midt/close range for traping. if you get to close, it turnes into wrestling and you have to defend the take down. Longere range, kickboxing or karate works better for me and WC stance becomes insufficient.
In order for a fighter to get close, they need to get within range to make decent contact with you. In sparring, you often have to limit your techniques. As the typical response, is to simply Oblique Kick the OPs knee.. the exact moment that they step close enough to start to throw their punches. Also.. if they want to throw their Kicks... your goal should be to use your Lead leg, and "Leg Fence" their attempted kick. (Soft Interception methods, similar to WC arm techniques, but with the Leg).
Unfortunately, WC's advanced Leg Fencing methods, are not taught until much later in the Art... which is a real problem, when you want to spar against even a mildly decent kicker. However, with the leg fencing technology... it becomes almost impossible for the typical martial artists, to be able to get a kick to land on you. Just like how it becomes almost impossible, for most fighters to get a head punch on you... when your WC arm defenses are so much more advanced.
To use the WC low kicks in sparring... you have to be very careful of the power levels... and only use it when their legs are not fully straightened (you dont want to cause a hyper extension injury). That said.. you should throw them powerful enough, that when they impact... the OP will realize their potentials.. and may even complain about your Impact levels. This will often get them to RESPECT the technique, without having to Cripple them. It will also partially stop their advancement forwards... but... because its not going to be at a fight ending level of power... you will quickly have to adapt, preparing for their further entry forwards.
Of course, if your short range lead leg kick has very little power... then this will also be just as much of an issue, as if your punches have low power, at close ranges. That is only solved, via a lot of dedicated short range power training sessions. I used to do 1 hr of that, every single night, for several consecutive months. Start out with 12 inches... and gradually work your way down to a single inch.
As far as the WC stance goes... Make sure that you Always have your full body weight, over your REAR leg. Your lead legs foot, should be touching the ground, as lightly at a butterfly on a leaf. The reason, is that you need to be able to kick with that lead leg... or to use it to Defend against their attempted kick... within a Fraction of a Second time window. If there is any weight on your lead leg at all... its going to take way too long to shift your weight, before you can move that lead leg. This is why a lot of WC guys end up getting their legs Swept out from under them... or worse, getting their knees / legs kicked heavily.
Think of your Legs and Arms, as if they were actual Fencing Foils / Swords.
Also, I highly recommend doing a special drill... where you have a partner use BOTH of their arms to try to use boxing strikes to hit you with... while you are only using ONE arm, to defend against their Two. This will make you realize how WC is actually supposed to work in combat... and in the most extreme of bad positions and situations. It will require excellent and sometimes extreme footwork usage. And sometimes, a little creativity, in how to deal with certain kinds of situations that you get into. Make sure to train both arms, with an equal amount of time per arm (stopwatch / alarm the session times).
And finally, dont make the mistake, of using a neutral stance in combat... most especially when the OP is far away. The neutral stance is mostly just for static distance training. When you spar / fight.. You always want a rear weighted leg... and a lead leg stance. Make sure both legs feet are pointing at a 45 degree angle. The Post legs knee should be directly in line with the Toes (deeply bent at all times). The heels of both feet should be on Two Separate lines, about 1ft apart (you dont want them on a single line.. as if you were on a skateboard.. As you will lose lateral stability that way). Now... even though you have a extended Lead Leg stance.. you still generally want your hips and shoulders to be SQUARED to the OP (Else one side of your limbs wont be able to reach the OP, if needed)
Actually, to be clear... I dont actually recommend Kicking the Kneecap itself. Either you kick upwards to the shin.. right below the knee, Or you kick downwards.. on the lower thigh.. just above the knee. The shockwaves will enter the Knee, from either direction, when you do it correctly... and with enough power. Too much power, could cause the fluid sack to burst.. so be careful, if you have reached a Masterclass level of power, with that kick.
I once used about 15% on that kick... to a very disrespectful fighter. The resulting injury, took a month for him to fully recover from. Ever since, Ive learned to keep my emotions in check better... as well as keeping my power levels just outside of "Seriously damaging" levels. But, I still always give them enough of a STING, to let them know, that the kick... packs a pretty Serious Punch.
No the idea of Wing Chun is ro hit the man control the man not to trap the hands sure get the trap if you can but you shouldnt chase the hands if you had pak into him like you showed and step forward and punch you would control the man hard for him to punch you while getting punch in the face and being moved back and punch into the man not chain puches like in Yip Man movies your trying to cause damage not give them a massage
Nicely put!
I find it interesting that you love the comments. Seems fairly arrogant of you to be so sure of your position. To say Wing Chun is all about trapping is one dimensional. Its self defense period. How many times do you think someone who is experienced in boxing or martial arts is going to rob you? How often are serious martial artists running around starting street fights. Trapping has its place if you can get it in great. If its not appropriate, then you dont do it. I hope I dont see any more of your click bait videos in my feed.
It works, and it works damn well. I had to use Wing Tsun twice and the others ended up in the hospital and I didn't have a scratch. The problem with videos or titles like that is that it depends on the user. If it doesn't work for you or you can't handle it, then it's not for you and you are the problem and not the art. Almost everyone who is passionate about a martial art wouldn't use it on the street against others. Only beginners who have just started or who have complexes would do that.
Did you know that the science of infighting doesn't work in a street fight, but somehow infighting boxing does? Wing chun fists, and any infighting teqniques, are the same. Just different names. You can find the exact same move from boxing in wing chun, no matter what you're looking for, plus extra that boxing doesn't have. It's actually great for any infighter, but to help you bridge the gap between different weapons. Teaches you how to use a lot of different stuff as a weapon. A rock, a hammer, a knife, you name it. 3 laws of physics. Kung fu lives in everything we do. Gravity, inertia, and the push-pull effect. You use your skeleton, to throw your weight. Form, muscular strength, and tendon strength, all go hand in hand. Although, without proper form, all is useless. How few people actually understand form, structure, and can actually fight, is scary. You can tell by how they walk. You can't hide your form. Your footing. What parts of your feet you stand on, and use to walk. A real fighter can take one look at how you're walking, and know everything about you. You'll know if it happens. Someone will smile once they look at your feet, and you won't know why. They know something you don't. Or they see your walk, and go quiet. You know why, in that moment, and so do they. Be careful, of how you walk. There are those out there who know everything about you from it. Not reading or answering any comments. Keep your eyes on the conjunction of their clavicle, to see what's coming. Don't look into the eyes.
sir, i have few questions!
is it possible to learn wing chun from internet at home ?
is only shaolin kung fu enough for street fight ?
I'll respond for you: yes. But be careful because without practice you'll get flattened. Get yourself a wooden dummy and some sort of partner to help you. Gets some pads, self practice.
I would say that sure you can learn the concepts, but you will get no experience of Chi Sau, which is a core concept in Wing Chun and you need a partner to jointly learn that.
Got a punch that cracked my nose, coming from one person out of a team of 5 people that suddenly jumped and surrounded me in the street.
Here in Sweden they are called "kickers". Degenerates....
After the first punch ALL 5 people hit/kick me while I was on the ground. I jumped up quickly and used all force I had to bump back down for a low/spin-kick on their legs (180 degrees?). I hit quite a few legs actually, and a whole bunch of them fell over to the ground like bowling pins.
Then I fled the scene.
Me vs 5 and all it took was a quick "disabling" Wing Chun move that confused everyone to let me escape with just a bleeding nose.
It depend on how, and depend on the person, if boxing or BJJ practice just a sequence of rigit movements form and the acctual sparring just hit the sand bag, it will uneffective and not ready for real match or real fight.
there is no point learning the different ways chess pieces can move without being able to strategize. i am satisfied that with everyone going around screaming "kung fu is bs kung fu is bs" someone who actually knows wing chun strategy, not just what the different moves the inventors of wing chun came up with, is being fair and clearing things up about wing chun. unfortunately the world is still so immature that partially some tattoos and muscles were needed to stand up for kung fu. i hope soon enough people will use kung fu in serious mma and bring back the ancient arts. this is not just good for kung fu practitioners. for mma fighters kung fu is like an uncharted ocean. very few masters know what they are doing. you need a high fight iq to naviguate the bullshido and the real kung fu. but if you can successfully think using kung fu and not just know it at a superficial level you can destroy "plateau-ing". but remember the key to this ocean is not finding a true master. they barely exist. its playing the fool and stealing ur kung fu teacher's knowledge. there are so few true masters. if it doesnt make sense and ur fight iq is high. it doesn't. its not mma where everyone is a rebel. thats why there is no bullshido. noone is afraid to beeak emperor's clothes and point things out. so bring rebel to kung fu. sign up for kung fu with your muscular mma friends. rebel. resist when they try to force it. that is how kung fu was anyways. and that is how fighting teachers should be. if they dont hold water...
If this is that. It goes on for ever.... Don't ever let your cup get full... Try things... try everything cause anything can and will happen... Don't limit yourself....
Everybody these days has a TH-cam channel and an opinion about something. Why don't you ask an expert like Grand Master William Chung who was a fellow student with Bruce Lee under IPman. There are too many variables involved. I would have loved it if you had told Bruce Lee that Wing Chun doesn't work in a street fight.
Usually it is the practitioner and the teacher thats the problem, not the system.
Francis fong is pretty legit. I encourage people to check out his wing Chun.
That's right... If you are a 5° Student Grade as much in Wing Tsun. It's different 3° Technical Grade and beyond. Even it't seems another style. But it's the same system, beacuse Wing Tsun are concepts, not technics. What you show here are games from Lat Sao for students to get some skills, but it's too difficult to defend yourself against someone stronger and with better timing than yours. The students without patience go out and say Wing Tsun doesn't work for selfdefense. Of course It doesn't, keep on training and then you Will see. If you are not patience, better do boxing, It is a great sport and useful in a most of street fights. Greeetings😊🙏
Boxing is useful in street fight, focus on face attract, keep eye to eye contact to ur opponent.
there is no back up sir. the answer for pinned arms is in the dummy. after gaan sau, comes Kwan sau, which must be circular. it unpins the arms without back step, breaking the constant linear lines. You haven't gone deep enough
Its all in the Wing Chun. Only if you are stone dead then you dont know Wing Chun kick when your opponent run away kicking distance. Wing Chun have hook and also blade hand if you quenched your fist its a hook. The way to move your hand in the hook polar already. It depends on you want to give him a knuckle, a blade hand or a slap or a pheonyx fist, a thumb thrust or anything you want. The requirement is to make any easiest way of defence and action in any condition ,Wing Chun or Kungfu fluid like water concept .You need to be able do such action "as for an easy ride"when you already on the way or in the crossroad to change any direction you want.
Your analogy is faulty. However, as an instructor in the original mix martial arts because currently it's only jujitsu and muay Thai.
I agree with you that everything works and nothing works depends on the circumstance.
I always tell that to my students
Within the first 21 seconds this video is wrong. The object of Wing Chun is not to trap, it is to hit - trapping is just one option that may assist you to do so. And if your attacker moves back, you are just being dumb if you don't follow him, keeping him in striking range.
Wing Chun jab with boxing hooks and straight crosses!
Now I wanna see a Kickboxer or a Grappler in a Bathroom Stall 🤣🤣 You guys know the scene in Kiss of the Dragon where Jet Li lures the blond guys into the small offices to rob them of their Kickking? Had to think about that scene while watching.
It's a bullshit. Ving Tsun never said force the arms crossing. It the situtation is good for it, then do, if not then not.
Wing Chun people need to be better communicators. It seems like so many practise that style but no can say, in a simple fashion, how it works. Something is getting lost, in my opinion.
all is good but the idea is to get the 1st and perhaps another couple of hits. if you can not bring someone away from you with these punches Don't get into fights!
I don't know why you say wing chun punches are weak. I only punch as fast as hard as I can, and I can knock someone out with mine.
Having studied wing chun I would say the core of the art is the centerline. But ok, another way of looking at it is it is about trapping.
Usually dont comment because its a waste of time, seen a common comment about this art (boxing) take one class youll see why chun doesnt work. All chun isnt the same do they run drills, spar. Id say 99 percent of chun guys dont spar just chi sau and forms ,and out of the 1 percent that spar maybe 99 percent are wild no technique just flailing and brawling but when you find a guy that uses chun techniques it resembles all kickboxing arts to the naked eye power, flowing.
Agree, a lot of Wing Chun lacks proper sparring...drills and applications with compliant "opponents" who offer no resistance is a waste of time. With hard sparring Wing Chun can actually be pretty good depending on the teacher etc.
Never trust a martial artist wearing sandals!! 😤 lol
Wing chun works.
But we must see that the "real" Trap is always the trapping of the balance.
I once did wind chun and got attacked by 12 strangers all welding blunt weapons. 1 punch. I kid you not 1 punch sent them all flying across the street. It works y'all 😎
Yep.
That's why u have to be fast wing chun is a face pace art
Bruh Ip man once said: Stop making mantra just hit your target
What if the Wing Chun user just grabs and holds your opponent's arm/hand while trapping him.
Grabbing and holding an attackers arm has achieved nothing other than trapping your own hand as well. He can still hit you with his other arm (or legs) as well.
U can see in His eyes and on His Body that He is a coward, trying to look strong on the outside
Wing Chun is an internal martial art, and without that understanding you expose yourself as only dealing with strength and structure thus ignoring the essence or principle factor which gives the art its ability to dominate! Internal martial arts teaches you a quality you cannot develop using muscle tension, which runs counter to the arts power to manipulate an opponent’s strength and structure and deliver devastating strikes! Anyone serious about learning Wing Chun should only listen to practitioners who illustrate and demonstrate its internal aspects, which is the highest level of fighting! An analogy is kinda like a regular army grunt vs special forces! Both are highly trained, but the latter far exceeds the limits of the former. 😳🤦🏻♂️🙄/👌✌️🤲☝️🤔
You don't trap off the bat. No offense but everything about this demonstration is wrong and a misconception about the style. 🤷♂️
Yeah, because you don't understand what real wing chun is, Mr. Eddie Brock XD
Bs Wing Chun does work, I've used it bouncing. Watch Master Wong he's legit and funny af.
Also SEAL's use the trapping to pin the arms in order to pull a knife or gun to finish the job
Wing Chun is like jkd, it's very effective.
Jeet Kune Do? Bruce Lee studied Western boxing in Edward Haislett's little book: Boxing. However, JKD,as a martial art ineffective. Maybe against a beginner or rookie
I meant seeing chi sao.
Gotta love when people talk about a Martial Art they know nothing about as this guy does. He starts out with false information saying Wing Chun is all about Trapping...WRONG! Remember this Budo Bros. know nothing about Wing Chun so he will say anything since he knows nothing. FYI...Trapping is just one aspect of Wing Chun and it works if you know how and when to use which you clearly don't. Just making some corrections to more misleading information from people that don't have a clue what they're talking about...obviously he's never taken one class of Wing Chun...I took it for three years...I know what I'm talking about and you're welcome.
The title of this vid is a Lie!
Cause you don't do Wing Chun right. They won't be able to kick if you put pressure on them
"The whole idea of Wing Chung is to trap somebody's arms" Is this a joke ? lmao!
Either it's a (not very funny) joke or it's simply incorrect. The main idea in WIng Chun is to hit. How do you win a fight by holding hands?
Maybe YOU cant make it work . . . maybe you should go back to basics and try to figure out why it doesnt work for you?
Truth be told most arts fail in the application, if your applying the art using traditional methods and im guessing from the first words i heard here you probably are, then your gonna fail . . . Action will always be faster than reaction so if your looking to block and counter in a street fight then your gonna be dissapointed.
So figure out where your going wrong, analyze what happened then correct that mistake rather than post a vido (with the usual clickbait titles) telling us all how the art failed you when in reality you failed the art
Per strada devi chiudere la distanza...non devi fare mica sparring .se ti attaccano chiudi la distanza col win chun..e non dai il tempo per reagire..non e mica tuo tube la.strada .
