I think footwork is why so many wing chun vs boxing ''fights'' look the way they do. Well, that and head movement. Thats why every boxer you see, even if they are heavy, run. Alot. That 3 minutes can feel like a mile at full speed.
I love the way you approach wing chun. I’m from a town of 500 people in Arkansas where there is NO wing chun so I learn fully on my own using books and videos so having someone like you is my saving Grace 🤘🏻
Super glad to be able to help - especially for a singer-songwriter! No one writes their own music anymore! (classic rock guy here who’s always lamenting the destruction of music LOL). But seriously, thanks for watching and best of luck with your training.
@@JKDandWingChun oh brother you are sooo correct there man! Musical integrity is suffering bad these days LOL thanks for everything! I’m hoping to get a better understanding of chum kiu cause I’m honestly stuck on the footwork. An online sifu tells me I’m pivoting on the wrong part of my foot yet I can’t figure out any other way 🤷🏻♂️ i gotta just keep at it tho
@@JKDandWingChun oh btw! While I have your attention for a moment there’s something I’ve wanted to say to you ever since I discovered you LOL has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Mikey Day from Saturday night live? Like y’all could be brothers for real.
It's the old Run Run Shaw syndrome - the technique, especially with the hands is so good, you don't need to move. You see it in the movies from the 70's - a master who can just stand there and dissolve the other guy's attack with one hand. It found its way into modern perspectives on kung fu. Maneuver is critical to successful combat. When I was first learning hung ga, structure, root and solid bridges were everything. Now it is the ability to move. Getting to that point opened up the whole art to me. Looking forwards to this series.
Great...looking forward to this series! I must admit my own over-emphasis on my hand techniques, but now footwork has become an integral part of my training...glad this happened before I learned it the hard way!
Sifu, around 3:37 you say people spend too much time worrying about their structure. I agree, although I’d take it a step further and say they don’t realize their structure BEGINS WITH THE LEGS. If the legs and footwork aren’t developed, the practitioner will NEVER be able to hit with any kind of force. Great content, as always!
This is right on. When I did boxing, my coach worked on footwork, about as much as punching... Maybe that's because I lack coordination, but you get the point.
Great breakdown. The takeaway for me: "Never skip leg day." It makes sense that this would apply equally to drilling as it would conditioning. But you're right, footwork gets glossed over a lot. I think for the same reason as in conditioning. It's boring. Essential, but boring. Especially Wing Chun footwork. It's not exactly the show pony of the art. It's not even a Clydesdale. It's like a plowing mule.
It's always interesting to see someone completely forget their training when they get hit. I cant think of a single Kyokushin fighter from back in the day (brown belt or above) who wouldn't have wiped the floor with the 'black belt' in this video but I guess it's easy to quarterback from the sidelines. Whatever training he has done, it all seems to disappear the instant he realises his opponent is kicking and punching him at will. Unless they teach wild haymakers and rapid backpedalling in this dojo, he might like to spend a little more time training with people OUTSIDE the dojo before his next encounter. Ignore the title - unless they went on with it in the alley outside, this is about as 'real' as Kim Kardashian. th-cam.com/video/pP0-IpDEUGU/w-d-xo.html

Amen! Don't be there to get hit. Great book on the dummy BTW!
Cool! Glad you like it - and thanks for watching too.

@@RyanGarrettMusic Mikey Day? The comedian? Never heard that before….although I have been told before that I look funny 😆
@@JKDandWingChun 😂 nah you guys are both some handsome dudes 👍🏻 and both very comedic. But I don’t think he’s too good at Kung fu though
Great Video.....great topic.

So happy you are discussing this. Footwork is so often forgotten

Footwork is very important to surviving a fight we are not wooden dummies waiting to get hit
Subscribed, you helped me out a lot I haven't practiced footwork as much as I should have been. Thank you for reminding me!
Awesome! So glad to help.
True. Nice explaination, I like it
Sifu Jason, for shifting like in Chum Kiu, are you leaving your feet flat & pivoting on the whole foot or are you using your heels.
Great lesson sifu
