awesome video like always,in one older video of your you where talking about the different way of wing chun and other kung fu and you where reffering to some ppl or group (i cant remember) as haka and in their techniques they where attacking the hand even more than the rest in order to defelct it,i am trying to find this vid to wathc again but i dont remember which one it is can you direct me to it?
I was taught it as a hit and even takedown. You can also push down on chest to create an arc in the opponents mid back to pressure the spine and take them down. Love the Tiger style. Great video!
It's great that you identified the push as a less than desirable tactic in a real fight. I studied Hsing-i from three different teachers. One of those teachers told me that the prevalence of the Hsing-i push was for demonstrations because it would not hurt the opponent who was usually a bystander or a student. Also many old masters would implore this tactic in challenge matches to frustrate or "play" with the opponent when the goal was not to seriously hurt them. Also the tiger can be performed as a single hand technique which really more resembles the jiu jitsu open hand strike or palm heel.
Sifu Chan, have you had any exposure to the Seven Star Mantis system, and what are the similarities between the Wing Chun system and the Seven Star Mantis system?
So, I noticed you put a heavy emphasis on the hands, but I feel like one of the most unique aspects of Xingyi is the stance and footwork. I always thought the 5 fists per practiced in a completely straight line until my Shifu showed me that you use the cross step ("bai bu"?) directly forward. However, when you step into the San Ti posture it goes to the side at a slight angle (about a fists width between the feet when viewed from the front), so the "straight line" is more like a sine wave. Major props on the explanation of tiger though. Most people focus on the step and push (the pounce) and forget that you pull the hands down as you step up (pulling the opponent's arms down)
Ending with a "push" breaks balance. Breaking balance immediately switches the attacker's brain to "regain balance" mode. Don't push and stand there. Follow it in and continue to counter attack.
да, точно, многое из того что предлагается делать в синъи может быть совсем не тем. Я вот тоже думаю, что это круговой одним кругом сбив атаки вниз и контр атака, а то что двумя руками, так это может значить другое. И вот точно вы говорите, что толкать не разумно. Видимо это обрушающий удар по уязвимым зонам: подбородок, ключица, глаза
Sorry, I cannot agree with what you said about the double push. It’s really great for when your hands are down by your side, sometimes you want to make distance, and using the two palms for a strike can hurt, especially if you hit the floating rib or sternum. There’s a time and place for every technique.
I think he is taking about the demonstrations where you see a Hsing-i master just pushing an opponent backwards which results in them moving a distance backwards while still maintaining composure and balance. In a real fight where the opponent seeks to do you harm this would not be a good tactic because that person is still fully combat capable and will just come back in more wise to your technique (and perhaps draw a weapon). My teacher agreed that it was not a good tactic in a fight and yes the tiger can be an effective double palm strike to vulnerable organs.
Oh, just wanted to say thank you for those subtitles. Sometimes I have to play videos at a low volume when in public, and this helps.
I end up reading the words and not watching the action.

You know when you unintentionally step on your partner's foot when sparring and you see the look of surprise on their face. Secret technique, 😂
In modern streetfights I could see it very usefull a strong push gets you time to run away from the fight.

I can see how I can use this with jujitsu.
Hsing-i and jiu jitsu/karate have lots of crossover techniques.
First😅

U said u disagree but ur comment is in line with what he said
The video literally has subtitles that are highlighted in blue lol

You need GOD, Adam. Find......Peace.
Other sifu have said he is kind, b/c it is obvious he could be more deadly.
