Thank you for your comments. When your structure is broken, you regain it by recovering your alignment, re-settling (relaxing), re-gaining your "condition", and continuing to move from your center/spine.
On all your videos you come accross as great example of what martial arts can help you to achieve as a person with the right approach , no ego, sincerity and a true gentlemen. Many could and should learn these attributes from you.
sifu Kaufman great video looks like taijiquan! In my opinion every external martial artist have to learn internal power after achieve mastery in the practical fighting part of the art :)
Thank you Joe. It would be my pleasure to meet you. You are always welcome to come train with me in Hong Kong. Also, I sometimes come to New York City to teach wing chun. If you email me at john.kaufman21@gmail.com I will notify you the next time I come to the U.S.
@@johnkwc I'm in British Columbia Canada...Hong Kong is closer than New York. I live up in the mountains, been practicing for many years but have lots to learn. If nothing else, maybe we could meet for a zoom call sometime.
@@johnkwc I'll send you an e-mail, let's make an interview video if you are into it, I'd love to hear history on Chu Shon Tin and things like that as well. My interests go beyond hand techniques haha. When my kids are a little older I will bring them to Hong Kong for a WC pilgrimage, it's a life goal. Besides meeting people like you, I need to go to the Athletic Association and see where my first sifu's gung fu came from.
I have one question i forgot to ask,what if somebody broke your structure. How will je regain your structure again,a common thing that happens to me. Thanks
i guess someone was really in need for you LOL the phone is ringing the whole video with short breaks ( for the next call LOL ) the video is brilliant , thanks very much for this teaching ( but the phone is nerv breaking )
CST is a legend. I agree you need to feel the lines of the force and deflect in this manner, rather than just "meeting" it. Aikido uses "harmony", while Wing Chun uses "acceptance" and "deflection". Your skill is obvious as this almost has an Aikido-like effect though through completely different mechanisms. Thank you. New subscriber.
I like how you touch on plane as well. One can redirect upward or downward as needed. I describe the spine as a pole and the arms like the ropes of a tetherball. The small adjustments produce great force if connected properly to the center. Wing Chun realizes strength is from ligaments, and levers [bones]. Muscle merely stabilizes the fulcrum and levers of force. I look forward to viewing your other videos. Wing Chun is important; I do feel it is an internal art. Empty movement is meaningless. Intention is what informs movement. Movement is effect of the will and the chi [spirit]. The flesh is a sail to the wind [chi], which is unseen and provides the true power. Thank you, again.
Dear mofotox...CST and his student, Ma Kee Fai, taught me by their example to have respect for others, and therefore myself...a lesson you might benefit from.

the last section of the video looks like aikido when the target is moved
is this a smartphone in the background , it´s disturbing

Real Wing Chun
hi sifu, if your opponents intention was more sincere then the example would be more fruitful...I would like to see such an example.
