2:22 my cousin Danny Lauzon got his arm broken trying to block a roundhouse kick with his arms like you’re doing here. A front left kick on a right roundhouse works perfectly.
Sifu, nice video. I appreciate how you're gentle with your students making them aware of how easy it can be to do ligament tears upon take down. What many people don't understand as well that you demonstrate is relaxing your tan sao hand to take the brunt of the kick. You also demonstrate relaxing your body and shoulder to take the brunt of a kick rather than stiffen up. I also like how you show that if you intentionally miss the tan sao block, you are stepping in and blocking with a pak sao hand for the catch. Your footwork is subtle and nice.
i have watched an enormous amount of fighting instuctional video's for the past 15 years because i love learning and practicing the theory and i honestly have to say that you are by far the best content creator i have seen in that time, maybe your content just clicks because i am pragmatic person aswell but your style of explaining things in a humorous and simple way is something that i hope will get you very far on youtube. Please keep up the good work man.
What a gift! To be able to teach. I don't stop enjoying the videos he produces. My new favorites are one's that can be practiced at home with alone as I live in a part of the country where the ability to practice with others is not practical. Thank you So much Adam!
Love the crowd, very positive feeling environment. Its all about learning and improving, no ego. 👍 I appreciate the safety guides too. Thats kinda forgotten in a vt class where sifus just wanna show off
Just found your channel new subscriber. Excellent content. I have always felt that most wing chun instruction was missing was why it would not work. I have tried what you suggest, there is really something there!
I have learnt the history of wing chun and learnt from interviews I seen by Ip man's sons that wing can truly work in this day and age, I have tried to find videos on the internet of people using wing chun effectively but most of the videos I find are people who are self proclaimed wing Chun masters or just some guy who thinks he knows wing chun but I think that a combination of wing chun,bjj and mma would go nicely together
Good timing and you have trained for a long time. Personally I prefer the "kwun Sao" for high round house counters. You can pair it with an easy side kick.
Improper use of outside block, teach your students to correctly kick, then use a "shield" to block as you move away. A shield is when you cover your ear with your wrist.
Adam, was curious is there a risk that you may break a bone when blocking a kick like that with your arm? Or is your kick diminishing the opponent's kick power?
Wilford Grimley The catching kicks thing, this is a normal thing, they do it a lot in Sanda. It’s nothing special they do this in competition, you can find clips of this. ua-cam.com/video/PJEpg6ovVHM/v-deo.html
My question is, who in the world is gonna lead with a roundhouse to the head? Generally you setup the head kick. Also you start low (leg, body) then setup for a head kick. Or even a switch kick to the head.
This is a great way to get a broken forearm.This video is just delusional and only works in demonstration scenarios. I would like to see this attempted at %100 speed and with or without a setup before the kick tbh.

i think we wouldn't know when the thai kicker would round house to the head though. he could be hurting with low kicks and then a surprise round house. anybody can block if one knows the exact kick the opponent will do.
If you preplanned to get your Kick caught question remains is it a novice judgment? Or is it a BJJ or novice judgment call? Either one, don't throw partial kicking. Thats your Conviction is it, partial kicks is a bad kick.

Been analyzing roundhouse kicks for a year now and practicing them to. I do some light sparring with my 16 year old son and I've accidentally blocked his kicka with traditional karate blockings ... DON'T use your arms unless your a shaolin munk who has been practicing from the age of 5 to turn your body into an actual wepon.
True. How often will you encounter someone with that level of ability? My point: Wing Chun is a close range art. At some point, you will have to adjust and close the distance. Otherwise, the opponent will have the advantage, especially if they have power and speed.
I'm sorry but never use this in a fight. This is a great way to break your arm and fingers a good round house kick is way too powerful to be blocking with forearms.
Do it in sparring... do it when you have not selected it and told the attacker what to do. Do it when its hidden behind other offensive attacks. Do it correctly and step off line... then show it working ...
None of those guys executing the roundhouse kick aren't doing it correctly the ground foot is wrong , the heel should always be pointed toward the opponent , but this is common and it's not just the students who have bad form .
In so many MMA fights, Thai boxing fights, , the "round house kick" as some people call it, has been used so successfully to knock out the opponent by hitting the side of the head.

Different techniques for different situations. Not everyone kicks the same. What might not work for a professional fighter can work on your average bloke. For example, the takedowns and joint locks that cops use everyday would never work in the cage.
@@RagingUtai I see.....Then is Chan sifu can "anticipate" the kick coming, then surely some MMA fighters (among the thousands of them worldwide) must be able to learn the technique too!!
@@blockmasterscott um....."Not everyone kick the same"....Ok in that case adapt the bong-sull accordingly then.....🙂 Oh btw we are talking about defence against a "round house kick" here. Takedown and arm locks are different things.
I am gonna say the problem I see, through personal experience, why this might not be the way you want to block a guy that can really kick properly. First don't just block with your forearm like that. I know so many guys at my gym can through that block or probably break your bone if you block like that. Brace the kick with your whole arm like the way you block a hook (still in many professional fight humerus, ulna and radius was broken), or move out. I am 5 foot 6, and constantly have to spar with guys that are much taller. They can generate so much power because of size, and that kicking to my head is just a body kick height for him. So he can come at you with A LOT of power. Even when we spar at 50% power, I know there is no way I can defend myself with these type of blocks if we ever go 100%. { The way he catches is also not 100% full prove. Once again a heavier kicker is going to kick through, slide past your the shoulder guard and hit your head. At one point he shows the block and a kick to the opponent while standing on one feet. Unless the guy's kick has absolutely have no power, you would be off balance from a proper kick. Many guys can also change elevation when they kick, they can make adjustment in a split second and completely skip over that shoulder. Once again if I catch a kick like that when I spar a bigger guy I can be knocked out. { The thing you don't need a bigger guy to break that block and catch shown in the video. There is even some guys my height, or slightly taller then me who I train with can generate so much power in their kicks that they can move you. This look cool in a drill. In a sparring match or fight you won't be able to pull a lot of stuff from this video. There are much simpler, more elegant type of catches and blocks you can do.
I would not do a catch for a kick at all but this is going to depend on where you block the kick. If you block a kick like that close to the foot your taking the power. However if you block a kick like the close to the knee then there is much less power. Which means much more chance of success. It is kinda like a baseball bat. At the tip of the bat during a swing you got all of the energy but closer to the base of the bat there is much less energy.
@@colemanrobbins7056 It depends on how you catch. In Muay Thai there are may ways u can catch a kick, and a lot time when you do, you actually side step while you catch so u are not getting the impact at it's height of the power. U can see so many of catching and sweeps in professional Muay thai fights. Specially if you drill yourself everyday in catching you can do it safely. Not catching a kick at all limits ways to defend a kick. I actually love catching and sweeping people when I spar. When u see them off the air then u push them back down on to the ground, lol priceless.
Hahaha yeah or any decent kickboxer it’s Muay Thai guy no way. But against an average guy in the street yes. But you should train as if you’d face a proper kicker otherwise no point.
Hi Sifu Adam.. I take you seriously as a KUNG FU INSTRUCTOR and because of that, sometimes I may leave advice.. it’s only something to think about, and not any attempt to troll, or look smart. I really am just a KUNG FU NERD like so many others call it that. So 🤘🏻just letting you know if I say something, it’s never to disagree, but just an idea 💡
@@Kamingo170 Sure. But if you don't catch the kick, you gotta flow into the next thing ...in any martial art. It's not like you have to make a given move work ...if the situation doesn't allow it. Generally speaking, Wing Chun guys keep forward pressure, so if you pull a kick back, they try to follow your withdrawing energy in and close. If they can.
@@VTSifuSteve Most wing Chun guys can't use wing Chun effectively in that "forward pressure" sense. They just turn into sloppy kickboxers with weird vertical punches. I'm a black belt in Kenpo and Taekwondo and I've had wing Chun people ask to spar at my studio. Very rarely are there people who can ACTUALLY use wing Chun. Like Mark Stas and his wing flow system
@@Kamingo170 Dunno. It comes down to things like how you train. BTW I'm no WC/WT purist. As for fighters ...I knew Emin Boztepe in his prime (back in the late 80s and early 90s. He could fight. But that was before MMA was a thing. Today, I kinda like what Alan Orr's guys do. Seems real and practical. As for myself ...I'm just an out-of shape old guy with a keyboard. Kenpo was my first art. Never got very far, but these days I am fat enough to be a Kenpo master!!!
Exactly, I teach my students to position and cover against the roundhouse. Using bong sau is asking for a break. Not to mention, most people throwing roundhouse kicks are skilled enough to set up a roundhouse, not just throw one.
Its really sad that these student are been given a false sense of security by thinking they can defend against a well conditioned shin roundhouse kick.None of those wing chun hand technique can stop a roundhouse kick that is meant to take your head off,you will only succeed in breaking your arm.I am so tired of these wing chun people still fooling the public and student when we see in so many videos in any fight they are in weather its street or tournaments they are always annihilated,and they never never showcase any of their signature blocking or trapping moves when real punches from a uncooperative opponent is thrown at them.Sad people keep looking for the magic fairy of wing chun.
Here is another fighter with a Wing Chun background winning in MMA using one of the techniques demonstrated in this video. ua-cam.com/video/H3E6RmzXrnc/v-deo.html

The interesting thing is, what he's doing is only 10% of the whole idea of doing simultaneous defense and offense against a roundhouse. If he REALLY knew how to use his Tan Sau and Bong Sau, everyone would have to wear shin guards to even train, so their shins don't break.
If someone threw a REALLY HARD roundhouse against him and he did his Tan Sau like that, his Tan Sau would collapse and he could dangerously injure himself. But whatever, at least he is having fun. I rather learn to fight than to have fun, but to each their own.
The time it takes for someone to lift their leg to kick you is more than enough time for you to move in and do whatever the situation presents for you to do.
@@djehutisundaka7998 by the time you react, it's too late. Unless you know a kick is coming and at the right distance, it's near impossible to block. It's easy when you tell a partner to kick and then ready for it. You not have have very fast reaction skills and muscles,and train for hrs for instand nody reflecx and countering
@@RagingUtai Kicking requires positioning for balance. One cannot simply kick without telegraphing a change in one's posture. The higher the kick, the greater the telegraph. There's no act of mobility that can be engaged in on one leg that cannot be countered faster on two. That's why so many kickers have often fallen prey to grapplers. If kicking were supremely effective, strikers wouldn't feel a need to incorporate a knowledge of grappling and fighters proficient in only Muay Tai would dominate MMA.
All up untill now, everything seems legit, high level technique and realistic advices but this..... My hand was broken once because i tried to block a side kick aka mawashi geri in karate using the part of the arm which is between the wrist and the elbow
To me blocking a roundhouse is like blocking a stick or bat - either u block NOT at their full extension (where there is FULL power) - like jamming them - or use your whole body behind the block - if u stick out just your arm at full swing - u may break your arm.
@@gunnerhiro394 Like they say, a hard force agaist something hard, will result in something breaking. I think it should be a last resort option if you can't manage distance,
Y’all in the comments don’t understand that bone conditioning is important I know guys who can block kicks with one arm and take leg kicks easy cuz their bones are super dense our bones are stronger then metal and tougher then steel
If the last 2 videos had such doubtful comments saying "it wont work against a real fighter"...... Oh my, I wonder how much worse those comments in this video will be.
Xu Xiaodong has destroyed China's Wing Chun masters...please challenge Xu to redeem Wing Chun's effectiveness...as for now I have the impression that Wing Chun is not effective in real fights.

Okay.. This is pretty much meaningless. A rear leg roundhouse kick is SO VERY telegraphed as to be a nothing attack. Maybe if The attacker set it up with a lead jab or something.

Face it, as Adam shows in this vid, taking out a Thai roundhouse kicker is easy. It's telegraphed, overcommitted and vulnerable.
@@danielskipp1 this is not an answer to the question. a truly proper roundhouse kick is not so easy to counter, that is why usual counter-demonstrations are against improper roundhouse kick esp. when the defender knows that the other will throw an often improper roundhouse
Daniel Skipp i know that most TMA schools today have crappy teaching methods (no sparring etc) that’s why i joined mma gym after my sensei died because i couldn’t find another good karate school in my area. Properly trained kung fu/karate works i agree with that. Roundkick is not so easy to counter if someone setup it with some punches or other kicks
Demonstrations always makes every thing look easy and applicable. Muay Thai round house kicks legit snaps forearms and break legs. ua-cam.com/video/OW7lXP3hcIM/v-deo.html
this is 100% bullshit, the proper roundhouse kick will get your ribs broken or knock you out if you do this "defence". This video is not just stupid - this is straight forward dangerous due to false expectations given to student. oh boy, will it hurt in real fight, 1/10 - would not recommend.

@@Kamingo170 Sure. But if you don't catch the kick, you gotta flow into the next thing ...in any martial art. It's not like you have to make a given move work ...if the situation doesn't allow it. Generally speaking, Wing Chun guys keep forward pressure, so if you pull a kick back, they try to follow your withdrawing energy in and close. If they can.
@@VTSifuSteve Most wing Chun guys can't use wing Chun effectively in that "forward pressure" sense. They just turn into sloppy kickboxers with weird vertical punches. I'm a black belt in Kenpo and Taekwondo and I've had wing Chun people ask to spar at my studio. Very rarely are there people who can ACTUALLY use wing Chun. Like Mark Stas and his wing flow system
@@Kamingo170 Dunno. It comes down to things like how you train. BTW I'm no WC/WT purist. As for fighters ...I knew Emin Boztepe in his prime (back in the late 80s and early 90s. He could fight. But that was before MMA was a thing. Today, I kinda like what Alan Orr's guys do. Seems real and practical. As for myself ...I'm just an out-of shape old guy with a keyboard. Kenpo was my first art. Never got very far, but these days I am fat enough to be a Kenpo master!!!
A bong sau on a Muy Thai kick and u will break your arm.
Exactly, I teach my students to position and cover against the roundhouse. Using bong sau is asking for a break. Not to mention, most people throwing roundhouse kicks are skilled enough to set up a roundhouse, not just throw one.
Thanks sir and I love you I'm sohail from Pakistan
this guy clearly has no idea what a muay thai round kick feels like.
Its really sad that these student are been given a false sense of security by thinking they can defend against a well conditioned shin roundhouse kick.None of those wing chun hand technique can stop a roundhouse kick that is meant to take your head off,you will only succeed in breaking your arm.I am so tired of these wing chun people still fooling the public and student when we see in so many videos in any fight they are in weather its street or tournaments they are always annihilated,and they never never showcase any of their signature blocking or trapping moves when real punches from a uncooperative opponent is thrown at them.Sad people keep looking for the magic fairy of wing chun.

Super wao
The interesting thing is, what he's doing is only 10% of the whole idea of doing simultaneous defense and offense against a roundhouse. If he REALLY knew how to use his Tan Sau and Bong Sau, everyone would have to wear shin guards to even train, so their shins don't break.
If someone threw a REALLY HARD roundhouse against him and he did his Tan Sau like that, his Tan Sau would collapse and he could dangerously injure himself. But whatever, at least he is having fun. I rather learn to fight than to have fun, but to each their own.
Real fight please
I would like to see a " real fight ".. to determine the winner 🤔
The time it takes for someone to lift their leg to kick you is more than enough time for you to move in and do whatever the situation presents for you to do.
not it isn't ,some kicks are done under a second
@@RagingUtai And moving in is done in under a second.
@@djehutisundaka7998 by the time you react, it's too late. Unless you know a kick is coming and at the right distance, it's near impossible to block. It's easy when you tell a partner to kick and then ready for it.
You not have have very fast reaction skills and muscles,and train for hrs for instand nody reflecx and countering
@@RagingUtai Kicking requires positioning for balance. One cannot simply kick without telegraphing a change in one's posture. The higher the kick, the greater the telegraph. There's no act of mobility that can be engaged in on one leg that cannot be countered faster on two. That's why so many kickers have often fallen prey to grapplers. If kicking were supremely effective, strikers wouldn't feel a need to incorporate a knowledge of grappling and fighters proficient in only Muay Tai would dominate MMA.
Those are some nice oak floors.
All up untill now, everything seems legit, high level technique and realistic advices but this..... My hand was broken once because i tried to block a side kick aka mawashi geri in karate using the part of the arm which is between the wrist and the elbow
To me blocking a roundhouse is like blocking a stick or bat - either u block NOT at their full extension (where there is FULL power) - like jamming them - or use your whole body behind the block - if u stick out just your arm at full swing - u may break your arm.
This is not a block, it’s a deviation, he explains in the video how a block would break your bone.
@@gunnerhiro394 Like they say, a hard force agaist something hard, will result in something breaking. I think it should be a last resort option if you can't manage distance,
Hey, I often share you on Facebook. You have a facebook you wouldn't mind me tagging?
Y’all in the comments don’t understand that bone conditioning is important I know guys who can block kicks with one arm and take leg kicks easy cuz their bones are super dense our bones are stronger then metal and tougher then steel
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If the last 2 videos had such doubtful comments saying "it wont work against a real fighter"......
Oh my, I wonder how much worse those comments in this video will be.
SCREAM THEGUY he showed in the past that he can defend him self 😂
Xu Xiaodong has destroyed China's Wing Chun masters...please challenge Xu to redeem Wing Chun's effectiveness...as for now I have the impression that Wing Chun is not effective in real fights.
Doesn't work in real combat. You can't parry away a full power roundhouse that easily and it's a KO if your timing is off just by milliseconds.

If he kicks a little bit higher it's kick in the head and KO... not very safe technique imo.
You want to block a shin flying at you at about 100 miles per hour with your arm? Hope you have P.O.P. in your first aid kit.
Hi lm in Kurdistan
Folks please dont try to block a round kick. Move back out of range or move forward to jam it.
Okay.. This is pretty much meaningless. A rear leg roundhouse kick is SO VERY telegraphed as to be a nothing attack. Maybe if The attacker set it up with a lead jab or something. But you can see this attack coming from a mile away and can nullify any power it might have pretty easily. Beating a stupid fighter is easy. Show us how to beat a smart fighter.
Cute. I'd like to see you try that defense against a seasoned Kyokushin or Shotokan fighter for fun. Then, for real "kicks" we'll send in a Muay Thai fighter and have him roundhouse kick you.

@@johndrake5467 absolutely beautiful demonstration. I love it when techniques like this in the above video are demonstrated and are shown to be highly effective.
Never try to catch a kick. If kick is fast or change angle you will be ko. Just front kick the thigh or block with knee up like nut thai
Bullshido who the fuck is gonna kick the shoulder in a streetfight only a traind fighter would kick and he wouldn’t kick you on your shoulder
Another fake master!!!

Hopeless, try that real time against a nak Muay and see what happens. Wing chun has some good strategies against the round kick, this ain’t one of em

Here come the MMA fanbois butthurt and in denial how easy their Muay Thai sport is to beat.
Yeah, easy to beat and that’s why 99,9 % wing chun guys lose to mma/muay thai...
@@tprnbs easy to beat if you know how, training properly... most kung fu schools don't spar or train their striking like boxers nor train against a variety of realistic attacks... doesn't mean MMA isn't counterable using kung fu techniques. Face it, as Adam shows in this vid, taking out a Thai roundhouse kicker is easy. It's telegraphed, overcommitted and vulnerable.
@@danielskipp1 this is not an answer to the question. a truly proper roundhouse kick is not so easy to counter, that is why usual counter-demonstrations are against improper roundhouse kick esp. when the defender knows that the other will throw an often improper roundhouse
Daniel Skipp i know that most TMA schools today have crappy teaching methods (no sparring etc) that’s why i joined mma gym after my sensei died because i couldn’t find another good karate school in my area. Properly trained kung fu/karate works i agree with that. Roundkick is not so easy to counter if someone setup it with some punches or other kicks
Demonstrations always makes every thing look easy and applicable. Muay Thai round house kicks legit snaps forearms and break legs.

Useless
this is 100% bullshit, the proper roundhouse kick will get your ribs broken or knock you out if you do this "defence". This video is not just stupid - this is straight forward dangerous due to false expectations given to student. oh boy, will it hurt in real fight, 1/10 - would not recommend.
50% unreal.
I never see your real fight before, You never fight? You just only demonstration
Total nonsense
