Very good explanation and great details. When you explain alignment, I'm a little unclear. Maybe I've missed it. Do you use bottom 3 knuckles or top 2? Do you also "rotate" your wrist ever so slightly to add power just before contact? Lastly, would love to see your video to explain how you could use your punch to deflect your opponent's while landing yours (without being deflected).
Hi huaxzhang, thank you for your feedback and questions. I will be doing another video about punching that I believe will answer these questions better and than I can in text, so watch out for that one in the coming weeks. best regards, Neil
Good videos brother. I've been researching wing chun technique for some time now (close to 3 decades). My opinion at this point is that no one person has all the inner details of the techniques. I think a good portion of them were lost due to all the turmoil China has been through for centuries. Anyway, wing chun isn't the only thing I've researched. I've also researched old school pugilism & I found that they are surprisingly similar in many ways. I encourage you to look up some old school pugilism texts & see for yourself. On to my point. I think the area of the fist that is generally used in wing chun to strike with is close but doesn't depict exactly what to land with. For example, we are told to strike with the bottom 3 knuckles but if you punch the way everyone tells you to punch, you're not using the knuckles, you're striking with the whole surface of the fist from the knuckles you're supposed to strike with to the middle knuckles of the bottom 3 fingers. Roughly 9 square inches! Pugilism cants the hand so that from the back of the hand to the forearm, it's perfectly level. This puts those bottom 3 knuckles directly on to the target & only the knuckles. I think wing chun punches are supposed to be done thus way as well. Try it out for yourself, the fist is still solid, it now just has more lethality to it.
Hey, thank you for your comment. This would depend on the specific punching method the person uses which will change depending on range, style, preference etc... As a good response to your question will be quite lengthy, I'll do a separate video exploring different punching techniques. This video is mainly looking at the things which rarely change regardless of which striking method is used. Great question by the way.
Excellent and very clear instruction
Thanks for this and all the other videos. They have been very helpful to keep things fresh whilst in lockdown!
Thank you Niall. I'm glad to hear the videos have been useful in these unusual times.
Great video, thank you. And love the quote “truth is not part time” 💪🏻🙏🏻
Thank you Brandan.
Another excellent demo for basics! Thank you!
My pleasure!
The ideal is to Punch" threw" the target. I away believe in that concept 💡. Thanks Sifu 👍!
Thank you for watching! Yes, we need to still be accelerating when we make impact so we must punch through. All best
@@CentralWingChun U got it , Sifu. I like art designs of the Crane 🦩 & Snake 🐍. Once I'm able to, I like to buy a shirt 👕 from U 1 day
You are a good Sifu! Thank you from Dragon club Roma

thanks for the exp.cool vid .
Much appreciated Peter. Thank you
Another great video, but I have a question. Do the feet remain planted to the floor or do you twist on the heel or ball of the foot?

Central Wing Chun great! I look forward to the future video

Explicit l and good no frills details.
Much appreciated. Thank you for watching
