We talk a lot about your centre. This is pure perfect timing of moving your stance with your strike. Exactly the same as a palm strike , push or a punch. Best to practice on a heavy bag or next time you’re walking though a swinging door 😂 Be careful

He continued to perfect his Kung fu until he passed. He always believed there was still more

The videos I’ve uploaded were shot the first time I visited him in 1991. If you’re keen you may be able to gain knowledge. He was my grand master. Although my master was a great fighter , he didn’t have the same passion as CST to pass his knowledge .

1991

There is little verbal explanation . I needed to feel it being done to me. Then attempted the technique unsuccessfully quite a few times . I nearly got it right but only once. Truly difficult .

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 I appreciate you taking the time to answer, thank you! I'm a Chen Tai Chi, Choy Li Fut guy. Never tried Wing Chun, but I study the You tube channels on it a lot.

I still can’t do it 😂. According to CST , Master Ip didn’t master it either. One of the guys with me , Graham K , managed to get it during our training on this trip. Mark Spence , who is teaching in Sydney , worked it out. You should reach out to him. Chi Sau Club. His knowledge is solid. Similarly Nima King. Mindful Wing Chun . Keep training 👍🏻

It actually does, the technique starts with a slight dropping of your weight followed by hip rotation, with the hand movement being last. Beginners often start with the hands first and try to muscle their way through.

@@blockmasterscott Mark Spence explained the sensation he experienced . Saying he felt as one connected unit . A single mass with CST body . Then pivoted. He seemed to find a way of it making sense before attempting the technique. He was good at this one . Often this will be the case where remaining relaxed to generate a lot of power can be seen in your mind before performing it successfully .

More of an attempt to understand the limitations .

Marks Spence’s understanding of Wing Chun is exceptional . Thank you for your observation. This part of the second form with the shifting of your weight to the rear leg is an aspect I have not practised properly . Interestingly CST demonstrated on one of his earlier visits to Australia , what my sifu termed “ghost kick”. Where CST , whilst having his weight on his rear leg in the form , performed a kick with his rear leg , without appearing to shift his weight. He was an amazing man. Did you visit him with Mark ?

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 Unfortunately I started WC after Sigung's death.

@@Aw3Sum3K9 stick with Mark. He’d certainly be one of the best teaching today 🙏

This shift is required to perform the kick with balance and power.

I've heard about this "ghost kick" but I've not seen any video footage of it. Was there ever a video recording of CST performing it?

Thanks. I have continued to improve simply through rewatching it to remember the feeling. He was a wonderful teacher

I’m not familiar with Alex Man. Ah Kuhn had been a boxer before he came to train with CST. He was interested only in the fighting aspects and not studying to the depths that were available. His skills in wing Chun were fantastic never the less. He loved to spar

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 Alex Man is a former student of Sigung Chu Shong Tin, in white here: ua-cam.com/video/g1XDDE6SnII/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

Ah Keung not only know fighting,he also have internal power. When he doing chi Sao is so powerful

He wanted nothing more than to share his knowledge . He was extremely generous , gifted & humble .

Focus on the target and stay relaxed. Your strike and stance are working together.

He was teaching how to perform this kick correctly. He had no intention to show us how much power he could generate. We already knew his power. At the speed he is performing this kick at , you can see the movement of the guy holding the pad at the slow speed. Nothing is wasted . Even when the move is done slowly. And yeah. He was nearly 60. Skinny ? Yes. He was unwell. His skills we perfect. Check him out on other sites. He died some years ago but many still continue teaching from his legacy.

it looks different because its internal force. You need to feel the difference. But i can tell you force through your body is really crazy

@@bewusstseinskunst I never felt the force of sigung CST kick. But had watched him kicking a bag five years earlier. The reaction from the guy holding the bag was significant . CST used no effort to generate power with his kick. His movements were perfect every time

He had so much power and speed. I trained with him every night both times I went to Hong Kong. After the first two weeks he wasn’t able to get away with as much. Next time I went back I had to start all over again. For a guy his height he just seemed to do whatever he wanted . You would have loved it .👍🏻

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 I think he used his height, or should I say low centre of gravity, and centre of mass, very well. Anyway, I am glad you had that experience.

@@andrewmason8691 he came to Australia several times with CST in the 80’s and 90’s. Did you ever meet him in Sydney or witness him dismantle everyone 😂

I started in Adelaide at the beginning of 1980. Graham and Albert were two of the senior instructors then. I’ve no idea how long they had been training for at that time. I enjoy watching Ah Keuhn and Suzanna playing chi sau. You can observe the relaxed state but still notice the power behind the movement.

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 I believe they both started in 1973, the same year Sifu Jim started teaching. Graham came out to Manly branch in Sydney when travelling for work once. I started in 1987. It’s interesting having now trained for more years than they had at the time of the videos, which makes me respect their standard even more.

@@andrewmason8691 keep it going brother for as long as you can . Experiment . Try new ideas. We may never be the best but I am sometimes quite surprised with how my training has kept improving. Despite my training being forms only for the last 2 years. I’ve met Dave Lovegrove a couple of times but not really done much apart from chat. Hope to spend a few hours rolling next time we catch up. Miss it heaps.

Certainly the best Wing Chun exponent I ever had the pleasure of learning from. THE BEST

Hey, it's never too late to start!

Yes. To be able to dedicate your life in the pursuit of your passion is certainly our of the reach of most people. Perhaps this was why he lived a very simple , uncomplicated & quiet life. It suited him . Money or fame never occurred to him. These were of no interest. He was a remarkable gentleman.

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 he was indeed.

if the response is automatic , you can remain relaxed.

Because you have no knowledge of Wing Chun.

Not unlike trying to pick up an oily ball bearing with chop sticks. His shoulder sockets were totally free. I’ve watched you demonstrate this . You’d be closer than most to having this pretty right. Most wouldn’t have ever experienced it

Nobody has ever submitted to "the old skinny guy" . He was the genuine master. You can still meet and train with students of his across the globe . They would welcome you to test them out. Highly recommend you do this. There's a lot of crap on youtube

Do you make similar stupid comments under everybody's videos or you are displaying your mediocrity only in this video ?

if you didn't perform it correctly , it was a "no" . These lessons were extremely valuable.

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 It is okay bud, "I get it!" MY Comment went WAY over "your" head lil buddy. #itsokaymyfriend #miAmigo 💯📖🙏🌎☯️❤️🙂

I’ve a couple more chain punch vids stashed away. And one where sifu Jim asks me to try to stop Sigungs punch 🤣.

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 sweeet! love to see them Rob!

I’ve a later one of these from a different session. Less blurry but just as fast. I’ve got to find it 😂

I appreciate that brother. Watching this instructor is very worthwhile since his teaching is always to the point.There is nothing hidden or nothing fabricated. He surely knows how much his punch delivery is devastating cz they are generated from a well-grounded and steadiness from the core and bottom.We ll see the speed from a video,but we ll not see level of the pain by getting hit to one point by 10 ,12 punches in matter of 2 second. And he is relaxed after those punches ,no heavy breath

She is one of the best

You can learn from these if you have the understanding that you already possess. Thanks Dave

100%. I wish she was still teaching. Her wing Chun is amazing

@Wing Chun - Simple kung fu learned from the best.. CST...

​@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584I spoke to one of her current students at the recent Sydney CST birthday gathering, she teaches privately now.

@@Aw3Sum3K9 her Wing Chun knowledge and ability is nothing short of truly fantastic.

I can’t recall seeing you there. Pretty sure everyone got to chi sau with CST. Did you get to grade 3. If you didn’t do double chi sau that might explain it.

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 no no i was there man I got to grade 3 in the 70s...

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 I did one day... If I'm not wrong he was there for a weekend

@@wingchun-simplekungfu7584 there's a specific detail i remember. I remember really hanging out for Sigung to come cos I really wanted to be there at all costs. I did one day or evening of training then I went home and was sick for about 2 weeks. I picked up some weird virus. That's why I remember it so well... There is a footage of a guy that looks like me with a white t shirt but I'm not a 100 percent sure cos the cos the film quality is not great... But it looks like my awkward way of moving...

@@sifpaulfernandezthewingchundao yeh. He usually spent a week in Adelaide and a week in Sydney. I chaperoned him and whoever accompanied him often. I recall one weekend when we had a bbq in the East end parklands. And another weekend when I took him to the royal show. Can you remember which of his students was with him ?

Wise words

You’re quite possibly on a very similar train of thought to many of us , and I can only speak of the westerners I trained with in HK, that more answers are still to be discovered. His HK students were training for many different reasons. The more intellectual students had different reasons and the better for those of us who trained with them . Some just wanted to fight. Despite Chu Shong Tins knowledge, he had possibly gone off on a bit of a tangent near his final time with us. But who am I to say ? He was so good at the physical stuff that his pursuit of the internal focus had him trying to move things with his internal power. He admitted he couldn’t do it but continued to try until the end. He was a truly remarkable Kung fu master. We are all fortunate to have known him and felt his life. 👍🏻

The westerners were there to learn and discover there shortcomings. The old master was teaching and pointing out the mistakes in application which many of us weren’t aware we of. These experiences training with CST occasionally over several decades were extremely valuable

They did know what they were doing but apparently it ll take so long for you to know.

Starting with your shoulder being totally relaxed. Then make sure your forearm and hand are also relaxed. If you want to imagine holding and pulling something down with your hand , it may assist with taking your focus away from your elbow . Your shoulder though is the starting point. There’s a number of other things related to your body which are more advanced, which also assist. But see how you go just with the arm as a start

you're welcome.
