If every WC sifu taught with the level of practical insight that Sifu Jason has then the art would have a much better reputation. Keep up the good work Greenville Academy 👍
Wing chun is at a disadvantage in sport,it was designed for survival,the snake and white crane are it's forefathers,the snake lineage comes out at biu tze,but wing chun was made not for sport and was hidden,it has a high leathality...it's just we are used to turning it into sport
@@davidstanton4241hi thank you for Sharing your knowledge. DH Ocoee Fl 8:13
Thank you for demonstrating on a punching bag instead of just punching the air. It's way more satisfying and demonstrative to see the impact on a solid object :)
2:55 This vertical punch is actually seen all over in MMA. Conor, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Israel Adesanya, Tony Ferguson, I could really go on even
I started watching this lesson (a very good one by the way) and my wife on her computer next to and the beginning me a look from her saying don't go there.....
the hip and shoulder moves are subtle("internal") but I bet they are the secrets of t his punch,with the relaxation.

Wise words from experts in their fields of hand to hand combat.
It’s hard to put into words the feel of this punch.
I’m trained in JunFan.
You definitely don’t want to play patty cake with noodle arms to win a UA-cam speed punch record.
But you don’t want to feel like you are pushing thru a heavy mattress to crack some eggs deep within.
It’s just that we don’t imagine what it feels like to strike a face made of watery skin, covering hard bone.
We can get the force timing right, to it’s usually “too much wood not enough water’
But, I’ll try..
It’s a jolt.
Whip your skeleton into theirs.
Splash your water bag into theirs.
See.. with gloves on, we try to push thru the pillows to get to their center, this is unnecessary when our power line is just under the skin of our knuckle bones.
Whip your knuckle bones into their face bones, hard. And penetrating, don’t shove them in, slap them in.
It’s not a whap
Not a thump
Not a thud
Not a snap
Not a whack
It’s a wang
Their skeleton should vibrate when you hit them.
Lol wang

"Splash your water bag into theirs" Now that's what I call pillow talk :D
@@Lyrisius splash your water bag until it goes WANG!!
Good video and reminder of the structure of the punch and purpose of it.
And Popeye was a great 👍 movie 🎥
I know this is an older video but the concept of using the retreating hand for grabbing (I’m assuming a coat/shirt etc) for leverage on the other punch really intrigues me. I’m glad UA-cam brought me to this because I had largely discounted Wing Chun as an inferior punching art. (My background is shotokan and boxing)
Do you ever practice the wing chun forms with dynamic tension?
Glad to see someone else is doing that too.👍 Unfortunately I think a lot of WC purists would consider it sacrilegious to do the form with dynamic tension
Well demonstrated. Thumbs up and vertical punch
terri tom's book on the straight punch is a good resource.
My sifu has spoken about relaxation, after the punch. You want the power and energy, going into the target, not back at you, hence why you see many broken hands, after a street fight. Great video and advice from sifu Jason. 👍🇬🇧
Another great video. Thank you very much. Your definitely seem to be one of the best teachers out there
thanks for posting
I know some people will say the wing chun punch is weak. Well, I can say, you don't really want to punch someone full power in the head, not without gloves, and not in self defense situation. If someone is not a fighter, or on drugs a f has never really been hit, then two punches to the nose and lip, causing bleeding will shock them and make them quit. Usually.
If you actually land a real, full power boxing type punch to the head and you miss the jaw or nose and hit say the top of the head, you are going to be having some loss of function in your hand. Not to mention the surgeries. And say you do land it. And it is just a stupid inebriated argument situation, you could very easily kill someone, or give them brain damage. Which is bad. But so is jail.
So, I think that wing chun punch is just about right.
Your video is but it has changed and educated my entire Wing Chun knowledge
Thank you so much
This video is great. Thanks sifu
Best straight punch explanation and demonstration I have ever seen. You really get to the practicality and physics behind it without getting bogged down in mysticism Like so many others.
So glad to be of service. Thanks for watching.
Subscribed from India i like the way you demonstrated. perfect
i love martial arts.
Excellent
That is why it is also good for close quarters!!
Excellent video on the straight punch. Appreciate the technical insights. Thanks again for the great information that you freely give.
That bobble head Jason thing was cool 😎
Very good information and love your jokes no complaints here.
I see you brought alot of stand up bags!!
wing chung + preptime = winning
Hello Sifu, really good advice, once again your explanation of the art and techniques are appreciated and should be incorporated. Thanks again, Keep Blasting!
Love your teaching. Do you have advice for hand conditioning and the use of dit da jow?
Work on the wooden dummy, do some knuckle push ups or train with the heavy Bag without gloves (but when you do that....please start easy and slowly, belive me I got painfully experience with that😅)
@@mariusschleicher5046 Thank you.
Well you just want to. Just stand there move around. You can mix itnip with boxing blocks. As well
Super information sir about vertical punching
Can you demonstrate the 'drop step'? Dempsey used it apparently.
So the power comes from the tension at the end. Like a whip? Up from the legs and into a “convulsive grab” at the business end of the motion? And the grabbing motion is what turns the relaxation into tension. And your hand is, or is headed to somewhere close to where the back of their head currently is.
I just thought I would watch this video as to explain the whole using the bottom two knuckles in a kind of squeeze and flick it out.
Good video dude.
The relaxation = speed.
The structure = accuracy and using the economy of motion , the best path for potential energy. Straight and direct. Interesting when you break down the situation into boxes. But you know everything in that space, if it’s getting hit, it is getting hit hard.
Haha sorry I just got lost thinking. But yeah man I think convulsive grab is probably a good way to describe how the bottom two knuckles almost tilt upwards .
Lots of great info there! A whole lot of very useful stuff that I didn't know.
By the way, where is the Greenville Academy anyway??
Sifu love the way you break down the system into understandable nuggets, brilliantly done...
Regards Ray from Dublin Ireland
Thanks for yet another great video, SIfu :) Always learning something new watching them :)
You mentioned that jolting the wrist is not a good idea.
In my experience, I agree if it's in a long bridge / entry situation, but when in already in contact the wrist-jolt makes it possible to "insert" power into the opponent from a very close range!
What are your thoughts on that?
Very good Sifu Jason!.. you always have very down to earth explanations and a realistic approach ...my Sifu always said practice for power with the relaxed "dead weight" structure first, then after that is developed train for the speed.. for that comes later. thats why I tuned in to your vid to see what you had to say about your WC straight punch. I wanted to see your take on that. I call that weak barrage of chain punches that most WC peeps use .. "kitten paw punches".. and yeah it irritates me too when MMA types are comparing us to boxers whom are training 8hrs a day, for full power punches to the head using their whole body and extension (with gloves on and taped wrists) for a knockout (their main goal), and they compare it to our punches which we are using for shock and defense..and they think that our strikes are weak and ineffective. They do have a point though with most WC schools not developing much power with their vertical chain punches and even fewer schools doing any kind of realistic free style sparing training. WC is a much different type of training for what our overall goal is.. Its simply the best for unarmed defense in the situation where you cannot wear gloves or have taped wrists.
I find that i seldom use the fist though.. I step in 8 inches closer and use the other tools of Wing Chun in a similar way, using the forearms and elbows which are much more effective with that same Siu Nim Tao elbow power and structure within the strike as the fist. I agree with you also that the Wrist pivot in the punch is useless and will injure you. That wrist pivot punch seems to be featured in every vid on Bruce Lee's One inch Punch...and when I watch those vids closely I see a shock wave from knee power being used which finds its way into the punch not just the Jum sao wrist action.
For training punches. I dont use a large soft bag though or even one of those dinky wall bags that most WC schools have, I punch large mounted sandbags 18 x18 inches and 4 inches thick that weigh about 50lbs so the only way you can hit that compacted sand is relaxed and with structure. On the sand bag we punch quite a bit closer, so the arm still has the Tan Sao angle in it and doesnt extend as far as yours do.. with that angle all 4 knuckes hit flat on the sandbag and leave a good sized dent. We also punch through the bag with the power extending about 4 inches through it..but still have an angle at that extension.. Fully extended punches can be intercepted, lopped and pulled so that idea is different from lineage to lineage. I was trained in Lueng Sheungs lineage and Sifu Ron Heimberger once showed up to our school and showed me the Ip Ching straight punch which was fully extended with the arm straightening and the power at the end of its extension.. quite the opposite of our punching as close as you can to the bag for full power..
I can also train all the WC hand tools with that large sandbag..so its good to have besides the training on the Mook Jong..Ive noticed some people putting rope or pads on the Mook Jong so they can punch it.. but they dont understand why that is not the tool for punches but is for Palms and other WC tools.. but even then structure has limits, how much can the structure take before something breaks?..so thats why the shape of the structure of the straight punch is what it is, simply so we can use it repeatedly without damaging our weapon. I also think that because we are relaxed, our whole body will probably bounce back before something breaks or our structure collapses. It is still amazing to me the kind of power that a Chum Kiu shift can generate with say a low bong sao into a sandbag while almost being totally relaxed..letting the shift and the "body power" do the work.
That is also a really good point about bare knuckle boxing too.. Its like they had to re-invent it for these modern times.. and all the sudden bareknuckle boxers are using the vertical punch and forearms like in the old days...just like our Wing Chun does, but if you notice on the bare knuckle fights on youtube they are still taping their wrists..
Hey love the humor .. im an old guy too.. Oh and I have girlyfriend stories too.. there's nothing like a gal who challenges other dudes for you .. hehe.. good advice. So Ive been doing WC for 30 years now and still love it.. it works for what i need it to do..so why do peeps always hate on WC not working? When I went to my first WC class I was shut down and hit numerous times before I could even react. So even though I still do Shaolin.. its the WC that is my backup in a difficult situation. With the rise of all the favorite MMA techniques of choice-- boxing, thai boxing, Jiujitsu and other types of brutal attacks and holds... Ive had to research my WC to find the applications to adapt. I havent had to change traditional WC though..there is a lot of hidden wisdom to be found in the sets and principles. If my WC fails me in a hard way, then its my fault not the WC. I also consider that If I get trashed by some dude.. then I will just adjust my WC training. We all get good at EXACTLY what we TRAIN for..Keep the vids coming Sifu Jason.. really good content!
So you’re punching (pushing) them away by the elbow to pinky power in the extension of the joint.. I like to drive and explode in contact (exploding punch) we call CLOSING a shot. It has to be timed.. done properly, it can be used as a short range, sudden defense
❤❤❤❤
0:15 lol😂🤟🤩
The little things are Major.
Brilliance in the basics
Third shot should go to the body because, like it was mentioned, the head will be in motion from your first two punches.
Great Mate . Thanks
👌🏻👌🏻
you keep saying your all over the place on this vid but i have so many focas problems almost the whole first 12 letters of the alphabet and i understood you better than most i liked your bouncing back and forth giving a deff about what you doingn i just watch these kinda vids cuz well im a kinda man whos been through the mix in level 3 riots iv been arrested for the crippling of six men who tryed to fufill a contract on me and didnt understand true life and after the biggest one went down the rest where just searching for a way through me from the corn er they attacked me in but with myself i always fall pray to the close contact attacks like sucker punch the rabit piunch even a palm straight in fucks me up i know its a normal weakness to all fighters and head back too far fucks up the inside jab and i usualy get knocked back a few but after that ill catch them on my comeback when or if they fallow up how do i train my straight defence iv been using the bubble defience you kjnow the "hey pal rightr now and where im at in my life so dont come any closer cuz i dont trust you in my bubble " if they dont get it i show them but that gets me so many different parole officers its kinda a retarted now even in a street fight cuz if you win against a attacker and that means you went above justifide equal force and that mugger just made you the attacker hes the victim now thats true blue even a red handed rapiest got me arrested cuz i kicked the shit outta his ass the victime was turned in to a witness for the da from her victims statedment or onb sceen statement on my behalf stopping the cops from cuffing me up saying the other man was raping me and this man saved me from dragging the other guy off me and stomping his head in the ground my "victim was in in icu the whole trial with not one charge for the rape i could not even defend myself with he was raping her cuz it wasnt about the rape it was about how i just walked up to some frwaks fucking in the field cuz he had his upper body covering her face and she did not scream cuc he had a straight razor box cutter to her face i seen her flailing under him liuke he was suffercating her i didnt kniow what i was walkiung in to i just though some guy was beating up his woman i stomped his head when i pulled his pants halfway off when i pulled him away or off her the girl crawled forward saying thank you god oh my god he turned to pull up his boxers i seen a condom i kicked him and he starts slashing my legs thats when it poipped in my head oh shit hes armed im cut twice deep stopo tge threat sure i8 kept on stompoing cuz she kept crying help me im bleeding he has sliced her clavical down to her shoulder but she didnt care until she seen the scope of it i waited after i called it in and no ione can un derstand life ior death situatiions they happen so fast if you dont survive its over microsecond can not be broken down is so its like rthis i donrt know how or where i learned that from buyt it fucking worked and or like shooting you hear a pop and if you dont hear the whistle wiz by your cool but if you do its to late to react and what are you reacting to anywats its over if there are 8 shots and you hear thew whizzing its over before the last bang eckos and no matter hoiw much i train it will nevere be any where close to a street fight you must jumpo in the mix and just get down its all about you and your own fears some beat themselves before they even

Thank you so much for the free teaching sessions ...no claas rigth now so jumping back an forth between YOU and UK wing chung....ur the best thankx
Glad and humbled to help. Thanks for watching.
Do I use the last three knuckles straight or slanted to punch?
15:04 ya, he hits the unlike button, but he never misses a show that’s the funny thing
Very good explanation.
🙏☯️🌱
If I hit with the bottom 3 knuckles, is there a risk of injuring the little finger knuckle because it is the smallest?
To me, the best Counter-Attack is a Stop-Hit.
As it encompasses kicks and other tools as well, not just a Straight Punch to the Face
Thank you for the great video. Should the Wing Chun punch always be thrown from the centerline?
No. At the beginning yes. Later on you need to learn how to punch from other angles to.
Absolute truth amazing video. The chain punches of 10-20 are really unefective rather to place one or two solid than 20 pillow one. God bless
Why to Go Sifu Jason 👍! I think too many to mimic what they see in the movies 🎥 & Ip Man's Wing Chun is base on the authentic stills of Yim Man. Chain punching was founded by Ip Chun, Yim Man's son or Grandmaster's senior disciple Wong Shun Leung. In the 70's & 80's I never seen it practice including my Sifu when I was 17
Dropped a guy with one of those to the diaphragm, hits deep.. He put his one hand up and turned, started walking away. Took a few steps and dropped straight down, butt in the air. Looked like a baby in a crib. Scared me, thought I killed him at first but after about 15min he was alright. Seeing what can be done first person with that strike... humbling moment. For myself at least. Taught me to be that much more aware of how the body we all use can be shut-down suddenly.
Great video.
Is it possible to hit a diagonal fist striking with the top 2 knuckles? I find the bottom 3 knuckles more comfortable, but realised when I place my hand against a walk that the 2 bottom knuckles are flush but only half of the 3rd knuckle hits the flat surface.
1:40
Legendas em português?
What about the power line ..its not on the center ..
Change the way the retrieving hand comes back wow that's just great info
Glad to help. And thanks for watching! 🙏
Almost every time, if I got lazy and hit horizontal punch on the heavybag, it would isolated my index knuckle and hurt my wirst
3:41 something that I noticed with the vertical fist is.. it can be reloaded faster.. used more frequently to score front hand.. and it’s a better self defense punch because it’s linear nature keeps us from SWINGING..💥
Ok for body shots.
Another very helpful and funny video! :)
Btw is there any exercises to make the punch better that you recommend? For more power and speed.
I wanted to learn a punch to punch a bag in the gym. My smell finger keeps hitting the bag :( I can’t get it right.
Hi. Not being there to watch exactly what’s happening my guess is that you may be punching with too much of an upward arc to the bag, thereby causing the pinky knuckle to hit as you describe. If that’s the case, work on making sure your delivery is a straight to the target as possible. Hopefully that helps - and thanks for watching.
i'm willing to marry rich for purposes of scientific study.
Is the intro really necessary?

Ok, please answer this question...Since we are all not Jack Dempsey and I understand the power line theory, “How don’t I break my hand and cause boxers’ fracture hitting a solid target such as jaw and bone without breaking my hand. Please, explain!” I am being sincere. If I catch someone’s hard bone structure with my bottom three knuckles (and I am well bare knuckle trained) how do you say there is more a problem with the wrist than the knuckles? The bottom knuckles will shatter and I know you know this. You are obviously a boxer defending Wing Chun. So please, explain it to me!! Thank you Sifu!
Can you advise on how to punch someone in the face with this? I train in wing chun but find myself smashing my pinkies into my opponents face during sparring. Trying to find the magic. Thanks !
You should be landing squarely with the ring finger knuckle more often than not. If your pinky keeps landing like that it might be because you’re punching in too upward a path with the straight punch. That happens to some of our guys here. It’s kind of a natural problem in the when attempting a straight blow we throw it in a “up and straight” rather than truly straight. Hope that helps.
The hand can break easier using the bottom three knuckles as opposed to hitting with the first and middle knuckle. It's called a "boxer's break". That's why it's not advised to hit in that manner.
I really love and hate Wing Chun at the same time. Too often people geht Stuck in wild theories about the movement of their little finger in a punch. Wing Chun should be Simple and direct. The Basics should be the main Focus.An some of us guys really try to invent the Wheel, but fighting stays the same . Nice Video 💪🏼
Great input! Thanks for watching
Hi Sifu Jason my question is about the dummy. There are various types wooden, plastic, blow up. I have a blow up at this time , it has a water filled base for stability. MY QUESTION - is the dummy only about position or do you also need to have a stronger or hard structure so energy or power can be put in from time to time?
Cheers. P.S. I like puppies and that wise crack I made about your hair I didn’t mean it. I love Yanks and I love it when they call us Limeys. It’s all good.
If you don’t answer that girl you took to the cinema will bump into you and you’ll be forced to have a coffee and long chat and the table next to you are going to be commenting on Kim Bassinger and how she looks now compared to how she looked in 9 and 1/2 weeks. You know what’s going to happen from there😀👍🥊
I once heard of someone in America who was into blow up type dummies .....Apparently he was arrested on Malibu beach for trying to give the Kiss of life to a RUBBER RAFT.
@@walterevans2118 quite right too. Only a sicko would give the kiss of like to a non breathing organism. Clearly their first aid certificate was years out of date
Apparently he was so enthusiastic in his inflated activity that it nearly turned into a Montgolfier Balloon but the police officer was on hand with a lighted cigarette to pop his bubble.
Great video.
If you go low kick hard and fast direct to groin area its game over. If you try to break a door open do you punch it or kick it?
For me wing chun low kick
Opponent will be looking into your eyes unaware of leg. I learnt this from krav maga it's groin attacks
Amen to that!!
@@JKDandWingChun
Best self defence is situational awareness
You look exactly like that guy from Rocky 4 that introduced the Russian boxer. "Whatever he hits, he destroys" lolol.
If only Bruce was around and looking at this video?! He would probably say "I don't punch like that!?" Haha.
While I thank you for watching and for your input, I have to wonder what point you’re trying to make. This is a video on Wing Chun’s straight punch and not necessarily Bruce Lee. The laws of logic - in particular, the law of identity - clearly tell us that Lee wasn’t Wing Chun and vice versa. Did you mistakenly conflate the two? Whether or not Lee punched liked this is, therefore, irrelevant to the subject at hand. Nevertheless, thanks again for the input.
Prune to fingers/knuckle injuries 💩💩💩
That intro was unnecessary
Video 🔥intro🤡
He hates puppy’s ? WTF!
U dont even no the first movement of wing chun if u like to come to Australia I will show u for $500 per hour
The sun fist is more flexible and less vulnerable to locks,
and isn't as short as the flat fist.
Machine gun punches are best
conditioned for power via the wall bag, not the big bag and certainly not the mook jong.
I think Lee's one inch punch showy demos is most unfortunate in that it gave non practitioners the wrong idea about the art,
just as breaking demos
in karate give the wrong impression to the public about karate.
And Yip Man fantasies on screen introducing to the broader world
to the machine gun rally punches are the worst.
Even the instructors fall for it. 🙄
Chinese punches are connected to weapons usage just as immobilisation maneouvres in the Japanese arts are.
I'm of hakka descent.
We ain't got time for machine gun hits when one punch,
one kick ends the quarrel to restore peace in a community.
Kungfu should end quarrels swiftly and briskly in the real world. An MMA pounding is quite unnecessary in dealing with your run of the mill social bullies.
But if u are interested just so u no.u will be standing in horse stands for 24 hours with knees over feet back strait way down.if u are not cable of doing this.then dont even contact me.
Real wing chun can tear that bag u are trying to attempt to hit will be ript open with one hit. What are u Doing on UA-cam
