+Rising Force funny as fuck dawg lolol
I hate to say it guys 'n' gals, but the martial arts have always been about killing when necessary. If you look back to the Liechtenaur traditions of messer and longsword (which I study) in addition to Fiore and other stuff from Italy, non lethal techniques are meant for situations where you're (for example) fighting a drunk friend who means you no real harm, and you want to disable him without injury so that nobody gets hurt. They are NOT efficient techniques, and are NOT designed to help you in a situation against an opponent who knows what they're doing and has murderous intent. Obviously if someone is inebriated or unexperienced such that they are easy to dispose of without risk, then so be it, but it is NOT worth taking the chance to get someone in a complicated joint lock and put them on the ground rather than simply inflicting a possibly fatal injury (in this case, cutting or stabbing). Although much more of a reality when people carried side arms (i.e. swords) and could get into a fight with lethal weapons at any moment, this can easily BECOME your reality if you are unlucky. Learn the techniques, and use whatever is justified in defending your own life. It's as simple as that.
Agree 100%. People seem to forget the "martial" part. I'm not learning how to hit someone in the throat for enlightenment purposes!
In absolute agreement. I think what has happened is some of these people came to martial arts by way of kung fu cinema. "A little boy see's his parents killed, vowing revenge he runs for his life, days later, famished and thirsty he's saved by monks and thru the years becomes Learned in the deadliest forms of kung fu, fate brings his parents killers before him and remembering his bloody oath, beats them to within a inch of their lives yet chooses to spare them 'cause he also learned respect for life in his teachings." In some other plot boy avenges teacher. Quaint, but the truth is that the martial arts began as military manuevers designed to kill the enemy. And all nations created own their forms or/and adopted others and used them. From the biblical hebrews and the egyptians to the greeks and romans and all the way down to today. I too was introduced to the MA by way of the Green Hornet when Bruce Lee played Kayo on that show. Heck, Kato was the only reason I wathed the show at all, lol. When I was a child I thought as a child. But I put away all childish things (and notions) when I became an adult. As should we all.
The problem now a days is that people take martial arts as just sports instead of what they were really meant for which was to kill your opponents in battle, all of them where created for war originally. I wish to clarify thought that I am not telling any one to go for the kill, but in a fight where you are defending your life you can't hold yourself back if you want to survive, what happens happens, in a fight you don't have time to think what you want to do, if you hesitate you may well die with how things are now a days.
george a roman
If i had read your post before I put mine up i wouldn't have posted mine since you said it way better than me.
***** You made me think of something else: kids. Kerawtee moms drop their kids off at practice, they get their black belts in three years through some kind of "young tiger" program, and have this false confidence that is dangerous when they find themselves faced with reality. The commercialization of martial arts is killing them.
To be honest the idea of working out in Wing Chun and hitting people with power going for hard karate style punches have been brought up by both Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. My dad always told me to be loose till the point of contact then tighten up and hit with everything I had.
That's correct. It's rarely the punches you see coming that knocks you out. It the fast ones with the explosion at the impact that you don't see.
useless art useless teacher
Gungriffen Interesting because that is actually what Bruce Lee said...moron.
Gungriffen Exactly that's why a one inch punch is deadly. That's what Bruce meant when he said " You must be like water my friend". Strike at a relaxed state. Power comes from developing your chi. (I want you to know that I paused this moron to respond and will try to finish hearing what he has to say.) That's why I stopped Shotokan and went to 5 styles of Kung Fu. Including Wing Chun. First of all you don't go in to kill anyone unless you have to. They call it self defense. This fool is talking out of both sides of his mouth and can't seem to formulate a direct explanation. Instead he's talking about the toilet flushing, etc. You will have a harder time fighting a charge when they find out you're a weapon dummy. smh.
+Mannchild11 that is not entirely what he meant when he said flow like water... study the philosophy a little more pal
I like this guy. Thanks for your time and efforts and sharing with us.
Sorry but I don't trust a dojo with exercise balls, call me old school.
i'd call you japanese
I'd call you ignorant
OooOf
You are damn correct. I seen how "real" Wing Chun practitioners in China handle Muay Thai kicks. The Wing Chun guy rooted his feet on the floor without ever leaving the spot, locked the opponents leg and twisted him to the ground. All along the process, the Wing Chun guy never lift his feet, but just change his body angle.
He was probably a rookie fighter or had a teacher like this guy ^, because wing chun is not intended to stay rooted and only shift instead of moving. The purpose of shifting is to turn or make small side-movements when appropriate, in the smallest amount of time and with the least of movement. Wing chun training does amplify the shifting quite much, but that's just to train the moves to an actual 'gongfu-level', rather than saying 'this is how you must fight'.
Where's the video you saw?
lolcano234
Biomechanics? Haha
@@paddotk not true if you lock in a leg when you root any style, period. Then you apply down ward pressure and rotate, this is the only way to keep the leg isolated and to keep the locker from being able to hop and keep balance or do the hop and spin kick that people like to try.
Wow! Didn't recognize you at that age! Thanks for continuing to teach us the right way of Wing Chun
Great perspective man and good info... people forget that everyone's style is different.. much respect!
I'm 35, live in the suburbs, and have never been in a situation where I really need to fight. What do you recommend for me? Should I train as if I live in a war zone? Or should I train in a way that brings inner peace, clarity, and improves my virtues?
Lmao why not buy a gun like normal people and bring inner peace to these bullets
Well, although I question if you actually really get it, I actually do think you stumbled onto the right idea, haha. One of my favorite quotes is from Yasuaki Kurata as the character Fumio Funakochi in 'Fist of Legend'-
Fumio Funakochi: The best way to beat the opponent is to use a gun. The ultimate goal of Martial Arts is to maximize one’s energy.
+Khechari nobody cares
Blake Grice why
+Khechari Krav Maga is a good place to start
I think he sums it up by saying that this is "his Wing Chun" its not meant for all of us. He has a more solid build so his 50/50 weight distribution works well for him, he can use his own strength and weight to counter the opponents blow. Basically force on force, (which is the opposite of what Wing Chun teaches) What if I am a smaller person, like a woman, I would not be able to successfully deflect his blow without it knocking me backwards. If I where to use the 70/30 stance, I would be able to avoid the blow all together, (without even needing to use my hands) and since most of my weight is on my back leg, I would be able to lean back and deliver a stump kick.
He has trouble using the 70/30 stance because he is not as light on his feet, and has trouble shifting his weight from one leg to another, where as a smaller lighter person wouldn't have this problem.
I believe what works for him may not necessarily work for others, and as an instruction he needs to be sensitive to his students individual needs.
***** Good point on the 50/50. I was always taught that you are never supposed to in any rolling push back muscle against muscle. WC was made for people who are slighter of built and designed to use speed and maneuverability over strength. Speed Beats Strength, Skill Beats Speed. If you're just using your muscle to push back on someone, you aren't using wing chun
It’s some people who don’t understand WC even teachers and turn it into another physical martial art...which it isn’t.
very good video. Thanks a lot!
I've trained in five different Martial Arts styles, including Wing Chun, but love the chi sau technique applied in this way. But there is a possibility of over-extending or committing and missing and being open for counter blows. However, I really like your techniques and would love to work out with you. My own problem with Wing Chun is that it is very sedentary, and regardless of how older people are typified, I'm 73 and can really move fast and kick. So how do you deal with freestyle kickers?
Wing Chun can very much be an artistic and spiritual application of self. The style is adapted for combat between members or the same sport and gives it more of a dynamic flair to be able to move around more and displace your center line. all martial arts have advantages so comparing between them and saying it has a bad name is quite irrelevant.
Everyone is different but I think being extremely fast and stable at the same time is how to win a fight in the real world. there a so many different scenarios that you could get into, so you cant say oh this practice is better Than this practice. use them all as a guideline. teach yourself. Know yourself. Also learn about the human body..
UENEO Great comment.
Izzo Warrior Academy what a gobshite this guy is
UENEO could you be anymore delusional
***** How many times do people find themselves in a fight to the death.
I think you are delusional.
Dave McNair I've been stabbed twice and shot once in my life. It can and does happen if you live in a high crime area. I am not commenting on what this guy is saying. Just replying to your comment.
I'm just learning not to fight but to just know who to. I found this really easy to understand thanks for the video.
awesome clip! Thanks for sharing your thoughts..!
"too hard & karate-like"... in karate we're always relaxed when we strike.
This is basic biomechanics & physics.
The muscles in your arm are an antagonistic pair (bicep & tricep, one contracts the arm, one extends it), when you tense your arm, both muscles contract, which slows down your strike, which in turn leads to hitting with less energy (kinetic energy being 1/2mass x velocity squared). You can test this empirically with a newton meter linked with a strike pad.
whoa... who the hell has mussels in their arms?! that sh is freakin' delicious with butter. i'd cook that mf's arms if i was a cannibal, lmao
Nam3l3ssOn3 stupid auto correct. Fixed.
There are different styles of Karate. I don't know what style you practice, maybe it's a softer variant, but mine is pure aggression. That's how most styles of Karate are, and that's why Karate as a whole is generally labeled as a Hard Style of martial arts, while Wing Chun is labeled as a Soft Style. In Wing Chun, it's to my understanding that traditionally, their forearms have to be, as Jin Young often says, "As soft as a blade of grass." When they're first learning, sometimes they might try to visualize having no forearms at all, because that's how loose their arms have to be. Their power in a punch comes from the elbows and the body, ours comes from our shoulders.
TheColdestStone I do Shotokan, specifically that of Testuhiko Asai, my sensei was a personal uchideshi student of his.
You can find videos of Asai-sensei online easily, as he was one of the most prominent members of the JKA in it's heyday.
I also trained for a few years in full contact dojos with Kyokushin, & Seido.
Aggression is a totally separate subject to relaxation. If you want to hit someone with less force, then, by all means, tense up when you hit them.
"Their power in a punch comes from the elbows and the body, ours comes from our shoulders."
Really? Not from your hips? You do an Okinawan style, then?
I'm a wing chun guy. I couldn't agree more. People telling you you're doing something wrong when it's what they are trying to do gets me motivated to train harder. Too hard and karate-like is what they'll be telling the ER nurse. Keep up the training, and don't let someones keyboard training tips let your skills atrophe
Most people do not understand that professional boxing, MMA, and other combat sports are different than self defense and fighting in the streets. I have watched friends of mine who where boxers and various martial artists get severely hurt in bar fights because they tried to fight as if they were in the ring and their opponent certainly did not. If you can develop core fighting techniques for the streets on top of your sport fighting and be confident you'll be in good shape.
You bet, Jim.
And let's say you're a Chin Na man. With boxing or any other gloved art, Chin Na is all but useless.
Barroom brawls and street fighting in general bear little if ANY relation to organized "above the belt with gloves on" stuff.
Good instructional video - My latest Sifu has the same concept, training, and application method just like yours. I took Wing Chun for 3 years and I had a problem applying it. Years later, I met a different Wing Chun master - his method of training was the same as yours and I began to understand it; I improved a lot after that.
I’m known as a fossil,done wing Chun of various linages for years,it’s always great to see someone working the system to suit what they need from it and not just doing the square peg in the round hole thing
"I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by six..." So profound!
If you are good - you won't have to kill anyone. Train to be good.
Rupert Atkinson I understand, I agree. However in an instance where you are forced to choose between life and death, I will choose life every time.
Well, as I like to tell people, if you are training to fight for the street, you are living on the wrong street.
I thought the saying was "I'd rather be trialed by 12 (juries) than carried by 6 (people carrying the coffin)"?
Sounds good - but I'd rather train well and be neither carried nor tried.
Still a better love story than twilight
When practicing Siu lum tao, is there any specific breathing pattern or synchronization utilized within the form???
Officer Dominic, What lineage are You coming off ? Ip Chun ?
I like how at 1:10 he says "Kill them!! I have to say for legal purposes it's only self-defense" dude just admit you need your lust for blood satisfied
👍
+MNIMnoob F'em if they try and stab you. World is better off.
MNIMnoob if you don’t kill them they will kill you
Why did this video piss anyone off? People have different points of view about technique, do what you decide is right for you. It's going to take you years to use this art as practical self defense in an emergency anyway. A boxer of six months who's fast and powerful is going to kick the average beginner's ass anyway (unless they know how to box).
And if someone comes at you with a knife, you have to assume they're intending on killing you , you have to disable them long enough to get away (they're not going to just give up most likely). You don't know what they will try to do even if you disarm them. That means you should knock them out or break something important at a minimum just to ensure your own safety. If they die because of that, it's their own fault. Great explanations, great video.
What the hell is this guy talking about? In You are not allowed to kill a person that comes at you with a knife if it was avoidable. That would be murder or another crime. You can disarm and maim, but only kill if necessary. Such as possibly if there are multiple attackers and one has a knife.
+great456789 Looking forward to your video on your experience in this topic and the laws vs practical application to support it.
It's just from learning a bit about the law and from my martial arts training. My instructor was a former police officer. Ask any lawyer. There are people in prison right now (not jail) for murder for thinking like you said.
2nd degree murder
You're confused on the definition and interpretation of law. There are circumstances in which deadly force is authorized. These deadly force rules also apply to law enforcement. Self-defense is one of those circumstances. For example: if a suspect charges a law enforcement officer, the officer can legally pull his firearm and shoot. Law enforcement officials do not shoot to disarm or main, every single law enforcement agency in this country it taught to shoot center mass. This reasoning can be applied to every single civilian. For example: It is justified if i deliver a killing blow to a person that charges me with a knife. Where people get confused is in the details and how it is articulated in a court room. For example: You are going to have an extremely difficult time articulating why you killed a person with a knife if you were able to disarm that person and he attempted to flee or surrender. Also, this reasoning is why you cannot shoot someone in your front yard that broke into your house and then fled outside. There is no threat to you at that point. If you were to follow them outside and kill them, you then are guilty of murder. Sadly, most people do not understand how law is actually applied. Every situation and circumstances are different. The answer is always found in the details and how it is articulated....Ask any lawyer and you so stated.
Ff8boss - well, I am not confused. You actually confirmed what I said! If someone attacks you with a knife and you are able to disarm them, you then are not allowed to go on and kill them. That would be 2nd degree murder because the lethal threat is over at that point. I am speaking of a one-on-one situation. But what the guy in the video stated was if someone attacked you with a knife, that means you kill them. I'm saying that mentally is illegal. Go back over what he said in the video.
rogue warrior- what style did Ip Man use? is it theatrics (most is chinese wirework and theatricality) but whats with the wooden dummy? isnt that a primary tool of wing chun? mind you, i have no knowledge of any of this. thanks
This is my first hearing of Wing Chun...sounds good to use in combination with boxing, karate & jui jitsu...a fighter with all these mastered would be in my opinion a complete fighter.
lol "look at my sensitivity"
I like Instructor Dominick's Wing Chung series on UA-cam. Instructor Dominick gives common sense, real life, practical approaches to Wing Chun, geared to real life
fighting on the streets NOT the gym. Awesome series Instructor Dominick, keep bringing us more great techniques in 2015.
Great Video!
Great video. You remind me of my dads style when i was young, he's 56 now and I'm 34 & and he can still kick my ass!!
I think you make a valid argument about full on defense, but another arguably higher road is to defend & disarm, then bring him to justice. Killing is too risky.
I'm sure this guy would be able to take out an Mma guy, especiallt now that we've learned what Mma is all about.
I respect your views on wing chun, but please.. Be respectful to other wing chun practitioners and masters. Like you said, everyone's wing chun is different, but yet, you disrespect others' wing chun. Don't use hate words like "Garbage" or "trash" on other people's wing chun like you said in your other videos. Be respectful like you would want from others. Respect is the foundation of wing chun.
I’d like to hear their thoughts on Taekwondo WTF....
Thetraveller Lightbringer if you never studied wing chun, you have nothing to say about that. It isnt the martial art, its about the person... In my wing chun gym there is one black belt of aikido, and i saw a lot of people trying to troll the master (including the aikidoka) and they always finish in the floor praying mercy hahahahaha if you dont know the structure, the structure will be shit like your opponent
That's partly why Wing Chun gets such a bad rap...there are countless schools out there teaching total bullshit. Even good schools don't prepare students for actual combat. The bad methods should be called out
Fried Rice , should this guy call himself a master, wing Chun is a strange thing for him, fooled me with the title
His being critical! Don't get offended for when someone calls out holes! If you have a problem, prove him wrong or be quiet. He says all the time that it is his wing chun not someone elses.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
is there a specific drill I can do for not giving up my centreline so I keep balane n able to attack? N I like martial arts n wing chun a lot n want 2 learn it, but I love bodybuilding its been my best frend n only true frend since I was 13 years oldjust starting to learn to workout n eat. please let me know about the drill or any other drills I can do alone n for a beginner. thanks again Sifu.
I like the instructors apponant there. He will do really well... :) A gentle middle aged guy who realizes he has got to learn these things... lots of bad people out there... lots of respect for you. :)
What is apponant?
"I'd rather be tried by 12 then carried by 6" is a mentality that will get you into jail pretty easily.
You haven't been shot at and stabbed, but people who have agree.

I agree man, I nearly did once, was out on bail for an entire year to find out I was in the right and not guilty, that year fucked me up in the head, turned to drink during that time.

"have you ever been experienced?" Jimi Hendrix
Thank you for explaining your opinion on stances. I was taught 70/30 for the first couple years. Started wing chun again and my Sifu is teaching me even distribution (Kwok lineage).
Respects to you for taking a practical view!!!
1. if somebody approaches you with a Knife you give them what ever they want.if a person is that desperate then maybe you should help them .nobody wants to take your life just to take your life. and if they are after YOU IN GENERAL then I think you need to settle your debts like an adult. 2. a Master never ever gets into "fights". A master will take the knife from the "friend" and then give it back without causing the "friend" any serious injury and allow him to rethink his actions. then maybe offer help or advice or another solution besides violence. A Masters worse enemy is Violence. and he carries that Title because he is best at disarming a violent situation using THE LEAST amount of physical effort WITHOUT causing harm to anyone around him
. I don't know how I ended up on this page but I will leave saying this ,someone who teaches Violence in any form does not have my respect to call him "Master". this is all trickery.
It's all trickery to believe that you can disarm someone without harming them, unless they are a small-sized woman, a kid, or a drunk.
But then again, I cannot fault you for your argument on a Master's behavior in such situations. So, maybe such Masters don't exist?
Averagebum Bum Maybe. But let me ask you this? there are many who claim that they are Aware that Satan is the Greatest master of illusions and trickery. do you think that they would actually know when and if they are being Fooled by him?
James Metalarc
I'm sorry, I am losing your line of thought.
I have to disagree with the statement "nobody wants to take your life just to take your life. " If someone comes at you with a knife on the street, they've already come to the terms with the fact that they're going out to start trouble and possibly will send someone home in a bodybag, and they're prepared to deal with the consequences. To them, your life is expendable. Nobody randomly attacks someone out of the blue without the intent to kill or to severely incapacitate.
Sara Llewellyn Sara, i agree with you,BUT! if someone Targeted you for disposal dear they would not waste the energy of using a knife and giving you a chance to prevail. and if it were a trained professional whom may need the stealth and silence with the aid of a knife then there is nothing you could do or no class to take to save you ;-)
I will never fear the man that knows 1000 kicks only the man who practices his kicks 1000 times.
hey man kickass keep fighting. i dont understand why people argue about the best way to fight, since it varies for everybody. i mean, you show your understanding very well in this video. other videos i have seen just show no wing chun and claim they are ONLY wing chun. (alan orr's channel) keep it up stay strong
I'm a shaolin ninja, right now third degree yellow belt- do you think I should Carrie throwing spikes or blinding powder for self defense
He is right its a mentality of survival and if you dont like that then you don't have to watch his videos
I have to say the guy in Kung Fu with Wing Chun is right about balance and Leverage who knows what he's talking about it may have pissed off a bunch of other Wing Chun teachers but he's right I respect that they hiring for showing the basic fundamentals of Wing Chun he is a very good instructor he's got the right idea about Wing Chun everything is showing is exactly what Bruce Lee showed me
All the very best to you.
+Officer Dominick Izzo - Tactics and Training try not to murder anyone today dom. ok ty. i mean self defense someone to death. you psyco fuck.
+Officer Dominick lzzo - BEHIND THE BADGE I saw a dreadful video with someone using Bruce Lee`s moves, it was dreadful! Why is Lee taken so seriously?
Oh! Wow! I Remember you now as I watching you back in the day and i meet your Channel again in 2022
you look bigger with muscle. He the same person all along
Nice too meet you!😆
hi, just a quick question, ive been looking into joining a wing chun class in my area, there are two different 'schools' Wing Chun Academy started by Jim Fung (a student of Chu Shong Tin) and a Ving Tsun school started by John Smith (a student of Wong Shun Leung)
Is there a difference between the styles? or is it just the difference purely 'name association' with Yip Man's different disciples to differentiate a schools personal lineage?
I have trained 7 years under CST lineage. But both CST and WSL lineages are the best in my opinion. I say just do a trial class with both if you can. UA-cam "tony psaila wing chun, power of relaxation", this here is the goal of the CST lineage, to be able to completely relax and let your mind rotate your joints. It sounds like im bullshitting i know, and as corny as this sounds it must be felt to be appreciated.like ALOT. From what i understand there are two types of wing chun. Hard and soft. Ip man did hard and CST focused on the internal aspects. Ip man even admitted that CST reached the ultimate goal which is to be able to relax and do all movments with your mind. as the sayin "where your mind goes, body follows.".
John Smiths school has produced some great fighters and his wsl ving tsun is rock solid. Definitely worth taking a look at.
leon999
Wong shun Loong helped to train Bruce Lee when he was forced out of Yip Mans classes, and Choi Shun Ting trained for many more years than most with Yip Man. So either should be fine, but it all comes down to the person who's actually teaching the classes
craig hay Sorry, that was supposed to be directed at Julia Soon
I'm sorry but I wanna meet this dude. And show him what he's teaching is useless.
and yet you couldn't figure out how to find him based on the website given. That makes you far more useless
jamespohh LOL! touche
So you're laughing at yourself. Great
jamespohh u got me cant lie
Please do that. Film it too. Put on a great show, champ!
When I was training I was lucky enough to be Grand Master Felix Leongs regular training victim, ;). I dont think this video would piss off anyone that has a reasonable spatial iq. They would just get it. Great video.
Thank you, all the best to you.
Yeah. This video makes sense. There are just to many aspects to fighting. Martial Arts is structured, and I think that is why we have so many different ways of teaching...Because we tend to branch.
Evan King Great point.
Lol.. I just read this again. It is funny that you mentioned a reasonable spatial iq. You're still right, but o so funny.
Izzo Tactical Combat Martial Arts Everyone is just hooked on the "kill them" part. I know that lethal force is sometimes necessary because you want to get out of the situation with your life, but if a 17 year old scared kid comes at you with a knife for god knows what alcohol or drug that he used, your first plan shouldn't be to kill. ( Just for the record, I don't know what is the plan of anybody that comes with knife at armed police officer and you can't blame the officer for lethal force really).
You are watching it from law enforcement perspective where you put your self in line of fire and in dangerous situations with dangerous people... in every day normal guy life there is not much life threatening situations and you shouldn't turn the fight into life or death situation before you exausted all other options.
Nice vid, and good outlook on the fun style vs street style.
I had the very fortunate experience to be around 2 men who were very good at Wing Chun. They sparred one night; it was obvious who was the better.
We had an incident at a "party" - Knock on the door, 2 men in the doorway. One pulls out a .357 Magnum from his waistband as the door is opening. I stepped back, and went into action. I have never, in all my 20+ years of bouncing, seeing fights, fighting, etc. seen someone knock out 2 guys that quick. First guy went down in 2 touches, 2nd guy in 3. All within 10 seconds. picked the gun up, put it in his pocket, and we locked the door up again. This man was a North American Martial Arts Association Regional Champion.
One of my best friends is a 3rd Degree Black Belt in Tang Soo Do.
Another is just a Bull - one hit, one knockout in the 90's; over 35 one hit KO's that I've witnessed.
I love the stance and balance angle here - I've picked up a lot from the streets, and from having the friends I do.
In this day and age, run. Defend and run. Call 911 when you get the chance.
On the phone with 911, and you yelled "I have a gun, leave my house"... "I've called the police"....
They come where you're barricaded and can't run, shoot to kill - they are not there to give you a birthday card.
Best thing ever is to know your neighbors - know their schedules. Start a little "Guardian Angels" - Neighborhood phone list, people who have time on there hands help out.
We all work different jobs at different hours. There are enough people to check up on each other and keep our blocks safe.
I get what you are saying about 70/30, but consider the varying heights and body types of other practitioners. Some with slimmer or longer legs may have more dexterity and get more use out of the position, especially in transition or step. Balance is key. But overall, great video! Wing Chun is very underrated.
Thank you.
Wing Chun is an internal martial art meant for women or people of a small stature? am i right?
James Reed It's meant for humans all shapes and sizes
coming from guys with boots on mat and a crossfit gym
there is a saying that summarizes this, "I'd rather be judged by 12, than carried by 6".
thank you for this demonstration. I have trained in William Chung's Lineage for a couple of years and I also noticed the same *big* steps and displacement of balance, when you said something about entering our first stance in our first form, we are in fact finding and placing, even training our center line. It does seem counter intuitive to take those big leaps losing our balance and giving the opposition an 'In' as Wing Chun practitioners our whole 'mantra' if you will is about the center line, is this where our power comes from? I think it is.
I wonder how Donnie Yen would react to this
Dragonoid Berserker
I'm pretty sure his wing chun isn't that great either.
he plays in a movie no wonder the wing chun seems badass when you see him fight. But imo in reality wing chun only works with other people that fights with wing chun any videos where they show technics both person use it. Obvious sign that it's not that great of a martial art and all other videos where you see some wing chun guy even masters fight vs other kind of martial arts wing chun gets his ass kicked
bruno rouillard stupid, you're really stupid. Haha. If you dont know the art, just shut up, you're like a bandwagon dumbass to me.
6343 Gharaidh Thomson He trained in young age. Lol.her parents are even master and teachers. Lol. If you dont know the person, you should really shut the fuck up. Shows how purely opinionated you are.
what i think donnie yen his reaction would be OMG spoiler alert ip man will never teach his student in this manner
am so happy I do Bjj
+bassbaine One of My friends got stabbed half a year ago when he use BJJ on a robber and put him in submission. He didnt expect there was a second guy. Stupid guy trying to be badass
Sure BJJ is vastly strong in 1vs1 fights. Maybe i dont know if BJJ have more than submissions and takedowns to offer but i dont see how it would be effective against 2 opponents and up.
Am 99.9% sure you can't take on two guys, and is very likely your instructor can't either.
+PurpleShy Guy sorry i didnt go into details of the story. The guy was with his girlfriend. at first he managed to take the robber down to the ground but rather than taking his girl and run away, he went for the submission, which is what i think a lot of BJJ guys tend would do (after all its what you guys are most proud of). i guess he was trying to impress his girl thats why i called him stupid
You're sorry you didn't go into details cause your bullshit scenario probably didn't happened to begin with.
bassbaine
lol Kids on the internet these days. And thanks you just proved kids like you are the reason i didnt want to give too much details. The prime example of the type to bash and bite on anything that doesnt support what you do without even trying to be civil

Shake their head in wonder why you don't get it. :)
The way I learned it is first the feet are too apart how you showed it so the weight distribution can't make sense that way, and shifting gives you a better angle, redirecting without shifting doesn't make sense to me from what I learned. The way you shift seems to keep you in the center is that correct?
Beautiful quote: "I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6!"!!!
Brilliant!!

I always appreciate anyone who is passionate about WC. Mr. Izzo is well spoken and committed, what more do you want in a WC man? Everyone isn't going to jive with your sensibilities. Take what you can from all of these resources, and move on. Stop with all of the criticisms. This man is taking time to share with all of us. Much respect.
+Phil Morris Your video interview was a huge contribution to our community. Your passion is evident and inspirational. All the very best to you. -Dominick Izzo
he cannot do wing chun in a real fight or a play fight! did you see the apparent video ever he beat the boxer and mma fighter
+Don Mega wing Chin is fukin hard as shit man , i cant dø it But I dont pretend i Can an this guy is Just a fuckin fraud
+Steven Stopford he isnt a fraud. he's a joke
I love to see folk examine the principles of their art realistically, so I like this a lot. Agree totally with your point at 5,57, also if the elbow comes over the top the flow would naturally strike with the elbow, the closest and most efficient strike, not what you're training for here though so I appreciate your explanation.
he is absolutely right...finally someone explained this...well said! i wish i can learn from you.
This man is giving a bad name to Wing Chun. The way he "shifts" makes him seem like he watched Ip Man ONCE then said he knew kung fu.
I like how you highlighted "ONCE" in your comment and it also seems reasonable to me that in order to really be good at wing chun one needs to watch Ip Man at least 2 or 3 times. How many times do you have to watch it in order to be a master ?
10,000 hours makes you a master. So I dunno, divide the runtime of Ip Man from that and then watch it that many times.
Andrei Popescu lmao
mike craig Exactly!! he's a douche
mike craig he was barley even shifting
This is the Wing Chun I'd want to learn, seems way more effective! He makes some solid points. After Karate, I'm adding WC under my belt. Being too fluid in a street fight could be risky, it's about landing effecting blows to exploit your opponent and flee.
Although I'd prefer to simply not fight. Opinions?
Thank you! Well...if you were put in a position where you HAD to fight, we need to have the skills to end the fight with a ruthless aggression and decisiveness.
Fluid is where it's at man..."be like water" means so many things. I noticed they try and use it, (the saying) in their video's but they are not applying the lesson of the saying. No one who teaches a set Style is, it's not often that someone will throw a wing chun style punch at you on the street. It is a very good part of your journey though and I do recommend it, especially the sticking hands and feet stuff (thats a watery part, feeling your opponents movements and going with them and subtly redirecting them so you can strike...water becomes the cup). Hapkido is another very useful "style" much like Aikido but most folks don't carry swords these days. It's very good against grapplers
Study and practice everything you can, boxing, karate, gung fu, etc.Some parts will work for YOU, some won't...use what works, discard the rest. That was Bruce Lee's way and he is where the quote comes from " If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, if you put it into a bowl, it becomes the bowl. Water can flow and it can crash! Be like water, my friend."
Yeah but ... anyways... you are 99% accurate, except : why israeli defence military? I mean do you have supperior military punching techniques? Cause I'll never train in Israeli .... rofl
Jane Doherty. Reaserch then comment, in that order please
***** I fully understand you. I understand why you talk about IDF now because if I had to train I'd train for what is best to me. I bet you're Isarealian? I'm not gonna look at your videos. I do love martial arts and don't care what I do with what I learn, cause I am mostly mind talented and less physically disciplined. I have no discipline, wich means I have no style, wich means you'll never understand what I do until you get hit 5 times in a row in the face and still try to do the same but fail. But yet... that is only one fight I did, and yes, to win, you must want to fight. Cause as soon as he got angry and told I bettter stop or I'd be injured, well I stopped. You know why? Cause sometimes fights are not done to injure the other, but to claim something, and sometimes, it's a fight for life, and sometimes, injuries are not your goal. Have you seen that Swords dancer kredo in game of thrones? When death comes, not today, my friend. (This show makes me crazy and wish I had a real sword and could do the same as they do..., yet, you talk about militarist krav maga or whatsoever like if it's gonna save your life. Wake up dude... unless you dodge the bullets... you're not gonna save anything...) Still... That was interesting to me and wish you great luck. And if those fuckers stop spamming my bottom right corner of window saying they connect and disconnect, I would have written a more comprehensible speach cause I would have seen the fuck I wote (rofl) ) +++
3+ years later and this is still one of the best videos out there
Interesting vid. Would love to see him and Master Wong do a video together.
can u please answer the fuzz over the forums and comments recently saying Wing Chun is useless ... especially to those MMA heads. They even calling names to WC like 'wing chump' , upload a video showing WC fighter lost to every style (to prove WC is not effective.), its like WC is a big joke to them. I'm not a WC practitioner but i just hate when people says this style can beat the shit out of that style or this style is useless bullshit.. they need to respect others.
Might be because not many that people really know Wing Chun. And the ones who do might not participate in sport fighting events. I'd say about 90% of normal WC action is illegal in most rings, everything efficient against wrestling is illegal in MMA (ellbow to the spine/back of head, fingers for the eyes, attacks against throat, frontal kicks to the knees). And a good wrestler is a very dangerous opponent...
Marcus C i see what u mean.. almost all WC moves are deadly lethal and deadly lethal moves are illegal in MMA. If some of WC guys participate in MMA ring, they would fight with a limit..and thats not really WC..
Don't know about illegal moves, huh. Stomp a knee when your opponent rushes in and see what the referee says.Have someone grab you and go for the eyes, similar result. Try a chan sao to the neck/chin area, judge will be happy to kick you out. Anyhow, its self defense to me, why would I go in a ring?? Apples and oranges.
There was a time when I didn't know the difference. I know both, with different levels of skill though.
:)
'kill them, it's as simple as that'. Well, assuming simply forgot to mention giving them your wallet rather than leaving it out on purpose, it still isn't terribly easy to kill someone with your bare hands when they have a knife. you'd be so screwed. you have to control the weapon ASAP, disarm if possible, and run as soon as you get the opportunity.
The 50:50 philosophy shares quite a bit with Japanese Budo arts, where the whole emphasis is on keeping your centre, keeping you balanced and ready.. :)
hey id like to pose a question and a challenge .. I have heard and seen a lot of people saying online lately that wing chun sucks because it does not have a good ground game and that any guy with wrestling or mma style or bjj guy will just take you to the ground and your done. I know as I practice wing chun that it is a whole complete system with a ground game and I wanted to know if you would do a wing chun ground fighting video that goes and shows a few of the common hangups like shooting in or single legs or wtv. just a video that shows peoples out there that wing chun can if applied well do great on the ground as well. I do krav maga and wing chun and I know there is a ground game for wing chun. please make a video where you can show everyone else too? thanks . a concerned student...
Evolve, change, be unattached (zen)
"Anything that comes from my fists is wing chun"-IP CHUN
You got the 50/50 weight distribution from the William Cheung style. It is not your own idea and anyone who has trained under William Cheung knows this and also knows that the 70/30 weight distribution comes from the modified style of wing chun. Your goofy demonstration of hopping forward is not used in a defensive situation but rather offensively. It blows my mind that people sit around in this generation talking about how Kung Fu, after 1500 years, is so broken and only they have the knowledge and skill to fix the problem. If people would train more and promote themselves less then they would learn from experience instead listening to random views and opinions of unqualified people.
You my friend should be teaching in this video not this &$%@
chris allistar thank you.
I do not agree with you. Do date, I have yet to see a William Cheung lineage practitioner who I am "impressed with". That is NOT an insult, rather, a statement that I just do not agree with their presentation of Wing Chun. No, I did not get the footwork from Cheung, as, stated before, I do not follow his teachings. Your opinion is yours. I respect it, however do not agree.
izzotacticalcombat I know for a fact that you did not train in the William Cheung style and I know that William Cheung's teaches the 50/50 footwork because I've been training under him since 1988 so it is not an opinion. It is a fact....... I also know by your demonstration of the 70/30 footwork that you have trained in the modified version for many years. Your muscle memory is too good. So how can you critique a style that you never train in? By presentations online? Videos on UA-cam? Real qualified Kung Fu teachers do not teach their students online. Their knowledge is taught and passed down in a class room with hands on training. What you're doing is self promotion. You are simply trying to sell your system to improve business. I understand this but real Kung Fu knowledge is given to dedicated students who attend class instead of to everyone online. I hope you understand that I am not pissed or angry I just wanted to set the record straight. And just because you disagree with me does not mean I'm wrong. I was running my own school when you were just a teenager so please stop trying to take credit for something that is not yours. The 50/50 weight distribution comes from the Traditional Wing Chun style and not you. Peace.
chris allistar Thanks, Chris.
To be honest, it doesn't matter how much martial arts you know, either can fight or you can't,
Wing Chun has some good basis but Bruce Lee went on to learn other styles for a reason, because he wanted to fill in the weaknesses that Wing Chun possessed, how often do you see a wing Chung guy beat a wrestler or a MMA fighter , hell even a kickboxer for that matter , iP man was a freak of nature that figured out how to use wing chun in a fight, people like that are not born everyday, jeet kune do is basically Wing Chun with a boxing stance, so if the master Bruce Lee change his wing Chung stance , shouldn't that mean it didn't work, just saying
Actually jeet kune do is a combination of many martial arts. Wing chun is only the styles foundation that Bruce Lee built upon. Bruce didn't change his stance because he never had just one fixed stance for every situation. His stances changed depending on distance, weapons etc. Bruce was an extremely brilliant tactician. He never looked into other arts because wing chun "didn't work" he found that it may not be suitable for all situations, not "didn't work", just that there may be something to get the job done a little more easily. Truth is there is not one, superior and complete art that will be usefull in all circumstances. For example; wing chun may not be the best style againt an MMA guy in an large open environment such as the octagon yet, MMA fighting may not be the best for defence in a long and narrow back alley. Respectfully.
I disagree, his foot work was the only thing that changed, but his stance stayed the same, using a crisscross guard, Floyd Mayweather uses the same guard if you're not sure what that is, the crisscross guard makes the body compact and relaxed like a coiled snake which makes your intentions unpredictable, that's what makes Mayweather single strike jab so hard for fighters to see coming
@@siweaver1509 in my honest opinion use what works for you it's that's simple
AWESOME. very practical. im glad I saw this, ive always been taught 70/30 and this make perfect sense.
Every other style 70/30 is only a transition
I've been a student of the Cheung-style version of wing chun and have to tell you that the 50-50 stance is what I was taught for all the transitions. The entry technique was actually just that for covering distance and reaching the bridge (the close-quarter contact with the opponent). It was never to be used up close, but only as a way to confuse and perhaps distract the opponent's perception of what you are about to do in reaction to his projecting himself as being a threat! Chi Sau too was a lesson in discovering an opponents energy, its direction and quantity, and using it to your advantage by slipping through "the cracks". You're good by training the way you do as it would be more authentic as such! Keep up the good work!!
i wish master wong would beat master ceazar milan :O
Lol
The author is heavy minded about the right and wrong of forms. Depicting a welk known figure to prove his point. For his ambition is raising attention or perhaps fame from doing so he is crippling his own creativity modeling Bruce Lee IpMan or... If one is weighed down by searching faults and holes in others work one is lost in that search already a crazy circle in fame and wanting to be the best. He trains hard and seems to have a following but mocking others work is a big no no in the martial world I feel. At his age not young not old but not quite humble. "Self discipline before fame"
Cool, he has a garden tower in his dojo. I have three of those in my back yard.
Now that's cool it makes all
Sense Thankyou !
oh, and i love that comment you made, "i'd rather be tried by twelve than carried by six"
Thank you.
JKD makes the most sense out of EVERY martial art! Bruce Lee's philosophy of "take the good and leave the bad" is essentially what MMA is! These people who worry about weight on feet and waste your time explaining it (for those of you who couldn't figure it out yourselves) are just selling you dreams.
You do realize that Bruce didn't even finish the first section of Wing chun Right?> Also in his books where he explains why he does almost every move, he compares it to Wing Chun and to street fighers in American and boxers, and every single time he talks about how something is wrong in Wing Chun because they do this or that.....i want to vomit! Because Bruce didn't understand Wing Chun , he was not even that great of a fighter in China, but he owned people in America because they never seen Wing Chun. I am sorry but JKD vs WING chun is not even a question. Bruce was a great actor and a good guy, but he was not the best fighter nor was he the greatest Wing Chun practitioner.
Brian McComas
You're missing the point ENTIRELY! Wing Chun is BS. I think Bruce knew that. I'll admit it sounds good "block and counter at the same time" but boxing teaches a more realistic version of that. What you need to do is look at this pragmatically. Martial Arts are inferior. MMA (yes I know what it stands for) is the only thing aside from boxing that's debunking everything these guys have been selling the rest of the world for centuries. I gurantee you a high level boxer with the most minimal training in wrestling will beat 99% of the martial arts masters of the world.
nezerac
Now you are BS for saying that. Have you learned wing chun? Have you ever used it against a boxer in a real fight? Have you ever won? I can say yes to all these questions. I have been attacked (if you could call it that) by people who could be considered high level boxers as you put it. I have never been hurt in a fight with these people thanks to my training in wing chun. I have never and I mean NEVER met a boxer that I realistically think could beat me in a street fight. Furthermore, your claim that a boxer with minimal training could beat 99 percent of the martial arts masters in the world just makes me a mix of angry and confused. Boxing is undirected brute force compared to practically any martial art.
Never fought a boxer in a real fight. Just sparred. I have been in many brawls. I used to bounce for several bars and clubs. And to be honest I wasn't allowed to use Wing Chun or any real strikes on the customers. By policy we had to try to talk them out of causing trouble and if a fight already broke out it was more of a grappling and finger lock the guy and walk him out the door kinda event. But yes I have been jumped been sucker punched and I have been in real serious fights. Won some and lost some. But the thing is all of this was during my years training Jujitsu. I only recently started 2 years in Wing Chun. And I am telling you it works in a fight. My Sifu does spar and he doesn't let up at times. I see my mistakes and I learn. And far as fighting a boxer, that is something every boxer bitches about. Because there is a difference between a thug using boxing skills and a real trained boxer. We don't have a boxing program in our city or anywhere near it
*****
First off...you're a fucking liar. If you fought and beat ANY boxer it was on shear instinct and not Wing Chun. Bruce said "discard the useless bullshit" for a reason. It's USELESS BULLSHIT!!. Also until you can provide proof to the contrary and show YOURSELF, beating a HIGH LEVEL BOXER you're just a dumbass who contradicts himself in his comments. Also some people think getting into a shoving competition or a little scrap qualifies as a fight. NO, a fight is when it's you, the other guy, and your health, self-esteem, ego, and sometime even your LIFE is on the line vs some bullshit, couple of drunk guys bump into each other school yard scrap. TRUST THEY'RE DIFFERENT!! You have to keep fighting and sometimes you have to keep fighting until the cops show up or you'll be dead. Can you say you've done that??? Doubt it.
You're absolutely right. Good ethos. Nice interpretation, looks very nice.
how imp is it to be hulked up, as the instructor, for wing chun?
nezerac Also, Wing Chun has much more "street cred" than JKD, in my opinion. So, you can take an actor's word for whether Wing Chun is an effective style, or you can watch the vidros on youtube of them beating down Kickboxers and MMA enthusiasts, lol.
I believe that Bruce had some skill, as is evident by his training videos, but he was by no means a full-contact fighter in reality. I don't ask a hot-dog vendor for advice on upholstery, so please refrain from arguing an actor's opinion on martial arts, and calling others stupid for knowing better than you do. JKD has done terribly since Bruce's death, with absolutely no succesful practitioners proving that the art is actually effective. Quite the opposite is apparent; without Bruce's formal training, JKD instructors have proven themselves sloppy and incapable. I'm sorry if this offends anyone, but prove me wrong (you can't). The S.E.A.L.s passed up Paul Vunak's training in favor of old Okinawan karate Goshinjutsu (self-defence, probably from Goju-Ryu) combatives.
well ive never actually seen a wing chun guy win an actual fight, ever. and ive been searching for a good three hours.
If you "see" it, the person doing it is wrong. That is the misguided problem with Wing Chun.
Vir Animus I am the same as everyone else out there...someone with a view point.
Izzo Tactical Combat Martial Arts I believe this is the fault of Google+. My response was targeted to Muraku666, not to you. His derision and dissection of an empirically superior man is not congruent with any reasonable sense of fairness or objectivity. It is a sterling example of "Internet Tough" at its heart.
ummm....bruce lee won full contact fights....
If you know the history of Wing Chun, then you know it was influenced heavily by a female, and the art is based on small people maximizing their body for speed and power. A lot of the arguments about personal opinions and body types are sort of moot. Of course this guy is going to have trouble with the stances because Wing Chun isn't built for a muscular upper body. The more yoked you get, the higher your Center of Gravity becomes, and the more you must taint the movements to adapt them to your body.
Jonnylee5000 yesss you're right man
I did say the same thing than him... His upper chest is to big to use the 30/70 ... And people can't use technical that not fit his body in weight or condition.
I dont know that much about it, but your points sound totally legit👌🏿
Most useful comment on this topic.
Jonnylee5000 one this dude isn’t real muscular more like soft stocky.i seen many real muscular guys able to do this stance among many other types of stances,drills.kicks.splits,etc.really depends on how you keep your flexibility plus strength.this guy is just cocky and believes he more then some old Asian guy who study traditional wing chun from say ip Mann or some other wing Chung guy who studied the original art.remember like he said it’s his wing Chung so right there already proves his isn’t the right way of doing it just the way he does it that makes it work for himself,which is great.nothing wrong with that at all until you say something that insults the ones who stupid under the masters who created it.there is nothing done here that makes it how it should be or making it the right way.plus the moment he talked about he trained to kill and blah blah blah set the type of person your listening too.probably goes on next video and explains how he has developed the true way of lifting weights so you can still be a fighter.that bullshit has been proven wrong many years ago so nothing new there.he probably is a fuckin real cool dude when he isn’t in the I know you don’t,me,me,me mode.anyway train hard,live and respect life and others,god bless you all
This man's Wing Chun movements are really soft and sharp, desisive and powerful at the same time. Where can I find some videos of his fighting in a match? I truly wanna see how he applies these techniques into practical competitions..
The 70/30 stance looks like it is an invitation for massive round kick sweep
I,m not advocateing violance "But kill Them " wtf..
He's right. Criminals don't care about laws (but knows them), they also know that, to get what they want, they have to be aggressive; and killing is an option if they have to avoid being captured. So if they end up dead, it's kind of a "work accident" for them.
I don't know karate but I know crazy.
I should add, great video and I would join you if I lived in the states, purely because you are using practical application.
Nice! I feel you on that whole theory....well put!
This video pissed everyone off because....THE TRUTH HURTS!
Don Mega I practice the 50/50 stance every morning when I wake up and go pee
+Don Mega I AM GOING TO BE AN ARROGANT KNOWITALL..... rotflmao. 50/50 stance is almost a quarter of the way there. LMAO rotflmao..... just kidding. Don't want you guys all in a huff.
He makes valid points but no form is ever going to be them same so 50/50 mite work for u. In my eyes ur stance should be ur own set for ur body type and the bodys own ability of movement.
As for killing someone. Really MA is to preserve of life. u should be good enuff to disarm someone and be able to stop the fight or attack with minimal damage and have them arrested.
Ps
Sorry for any spelling mistakes.
And keep up good work with ur training. I will taken on board some of this technic.
Actually the truth about MA is not to persevere life that is a philosophy that was developed form the study. MA is actually for disabling many opponents as quickly and efficiency as possible. The aspect of preserving life in a combat situation only comes from when you have the option to disable because you skills vastly out match you opponent. Mercy is a luxury not a certainty
I don't know if you heard but he does mentions that he is an expolice officer. Also if you listen to his cockyness and the way he overly forces his exhibition volunteers you can tell this guy does not care about life.. "I don't care to disarm him, I'm going to kill him.. I'd rather face 12 in court than 6 in a coffin".. This is classic cop talk and justified murder ideology.
Isaiah Jones VERY TRUE INDEED AND I HAVE MY BSC IN CHRIMINOLOGY
***** a warrior mindset, sure is attractive for a dripping wet neanderthal female. For a retired officer/wing chin specialist its more like a murder mentality or paranoia or "I wish a motherfucker would" syndrome. Which I believe is unnecessary violence. Today a warrior is a past or present serviceman be it army, marines, navy, national guard.
Isaiah Jones
If someone is trying to kill you, you're not going to attack with the same intent?
You will be carried by 6.
Hey great video man. I wish you had a place to train here in the Inland Empire (Ontario).
Yes I absolutely agree with you. 50/50 the way to go. I'm only 5'5 and need all the balance on two legs. Unfortunately, I can't train any more and I miss it.
Your stance is weak. There are over twenty instances where you'd get knocked on your ass. Martial arts is humble. You are are full of pride while you lack good instruction. You should not call yourself a teacher.
Wing Chun isn't for law enforcement to use as a killing machine. Wing Chun is a defensive martial art meant to strengthen the mind and body and to only be used when absolutely necessary. If you want combat martial arts then learn Bruce Lee's style. Which I might add was HEAVILY based off WingChun concepts and techniques. If you learn it properly it CAN be deadly and I have used that style is all out combat (not life or death, it was simulated, but if each person needs to go to the ER for any reason it's intense training). Wing Chun has potential to someone who actually researches into it because it is a martial art that relies on intense speed and can utilize the strength of your enemy by using it against them. But it isn't something you go around town using to put down anyone you deem needing to be put down. And if you think Wing Chun isn't powerful then those "masters" you referenced and copied? are obviously terrible, which is typical for the US because so many martial artists in the USA just destroy the original concepts of traditional martial arts which is why they get such a bad wrap unfortunately. And as a Shodon (1st Degree) of Shorin Kempo style you have a horrific excuse for martial arts training. You are lacking in your stance ( I am an instructor, I know my stuff) your strikes come from your arms not your body, and so many more flaws that I need to point out to you in person. You have no right to criticize a martial art you know nothing about.
Yeah, I agree with you guys. I couldn't get my techniques to work right, I was always collapsing and can't pivot right until I switched to a more 50/50 stance. I think you are doing a good job and thanks for being brave enough to call out some of the bs that's being taught. There are only really 6 techniques in WC, chisau is a waste of time, it works in slow motion but not at full speed.
It's great that you promote the investigation of Wing Chun. It's also good for the community to raise questions and dig for a deeper understanding of the system. However, be careful when directly criticizing other Wing Chun lineages, or Sifus to support your own argument or ideas. You should share based on your own exploration of the system and what works for you. If your Wing Chun is solid, there's no need to point out the flaws of others.
