I'm not a WC guy, just looking for ways to improve my footwork and I must say this was simply amazing. I have a new found respect for WC. Thanks for posting.
A second video on the footwork subjects that you mentioned at the end of the video would be so helpful to see. This alone was very interesting as I do karate where all the rotation is on the ball of the foot. What an interesting prospective!
I would say a secondary reason for moving on the heels is so you're more balanced and can root your power downwards to absorb impact if you happen to be wrong; is in if the opponent shoves you or nicks you somehow in his attack.
yo fui a un seminario de karate y ahi nos enseñaron a girar sobre los talones y hacer desplazamientos laterales, mi Sifu es amigo del Sensei, por eso me dieron permiso de ir. Por lo que entendi, esto se ve en los niveles avanzados (todos en mi alrededor traian cintas negras).
@@watamutha cuanto tienen al boxeador contra las cuerdas, es cuando se usa el pivoteo en "ball of the foot" para lanzar el 1,2,3... te ayuda a generar potencia a corta distancia, sin perder velocidad, y el mismo rebote del golpe, te ayuda a girar para lanzar el otro... osea es para atacar 100%
Just wanted to say I love your channel I don’t practice wing chun but I do practice zan shou quan and Xíng yi quan but I found your videos to be adaptable and very instructive thank you
Several years ago I signed up for a wing chun class and we did that movement a lot, without any explanation of why. In fact nothing was explained, we just moved like puppets. Thanks for clearly explaining the 'hinge' idea behind that movement.
I’ve trained WC and other styles for years. Your videos has really helped my recent dedication back into WC. Really helpful. What lineage are you if may ask. Ty for these ! ☯️
@@myshadowkungfu Actually, lineage does mean something - Moy Yat is different than Wong Shun Leung, Tso differs from Choi ...take this exercise in turning..I too rotate on the heels, some the mid point of the foot, some the ball - for various reasons in doing so.... Lineage matters. Wing chun differs largely, or in small part from each to the next. That statement was made of ignorance
Although I agree that you wouldn't use that exact movement if a fight had already started, it's still applicable. When my master first came to the states he had to work three jobs, one of which was as a bouncer. When someone would try to use force to push past him, he would use this shift and turn to throw them off balance (caused by the sudden lack of resistance), and then redirect them back out the door. His was from Shaolin, but I think the important point is that it has two very different ways of being applied, the way shown here as well as from a "grappling" context. This footwork is also seen a lot to toss people when in the Muay Thai clinch.
I am happy to announce the Wing Chun course that I promise is finally release on my new site at www.adamchankungfu.com . I am sorry for the delay. I wanna thank Cris for all the hard work , all my online students on my Old site and all my youtube subscribers. Thank you .
Well said about the Leg work.. as u said leg works r one of the most neglected training.. & they forget the Fact that "If ur Stance is Strong enough ur Kung fu is 70% good "
Thank You for Teaching and(&) instructing EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE!! You have made my life better!! I used to have a friend Named Mattie.. I hope she will understand one day I became a good man because of you and her!! Thank You, M.J.J.Worth
Hello Adam, I'm nedw to wing cgun, and have one athome. however, as you mentioned in the !st footwork video. beginners are anxious to hit,fight, and learn moves. As I watched I thought to myself "This is me." that being said i was wondering well as curious to know. if it would be possible to put together a full training video with foot work warm ups, and moves on the wing chun.i find alone i focus on one or the other. id like to be able to follow along with the footwork warm ups as well as basic moves for beginners as i do watch other videos where its only wing chun dummy moves. For you you gain a new follower wellas fan.For me instead of watching different channels. I can narrow it down. i enjoyed very much how you explain the importance of proper form. As in the wing chun dummy videos is not given any attention. your one video has given me better understanding of the importance of this. I have already subscribed to and liked your channel. I look forward to learning all you have to offer through your teachings. Thank you very much for the help I recieved from 1st video. i look forward to seeing and learning more in the future.
A take it u mean 70/ 30 with ur front and back leg ,,thanks for the video really good u are a great teacher my friend,, aye stay in glasgow,,Scotland ,,hope,peace, love,,
The only thing I see that maybe we could improve would be.. instead of scooping his haymaker.. if this were “Wing-Chun” we would likely hit, in the first and second interception. Adam is showing footwork mostly here though, so that’s probably why.. just casual thoughts. Fantastic instructional.. that was just a Monday morning quarter back thing..
Great video, thanks! Do you move the weight from 30/70 to 70/30 before the shift? Or how does it work? Also, the water tag at the bottom of the screen gets on the way closing feets and making it a bit hard to see everything. Consider moving it out to a side or just remove completely.
hi Adam. if I'm not going to wingchung school anymore, because I'm being doing for long time. so I stop to go. now I'm practicing by my self. what your advice you can give me the best way to practice. thanks lot. 😊🙏
"You're not moving out of the way (your centerline), you're spinning the enemy out of the way (his centerline), so you're moving him, you're not moving for him".
Barry Lee, Wong Shun Leung's best student once said: If 70% of your weight is in the back leg and 30% is in the front and you kick....how much of your weight is in the back leg? Most would reply with 100% since it's the only leg you are standing on, but then barry would say that when you kick 100% of your weight should be in your kicking leg. What this means is that these numbers aren't really important but that you just need enough weight in your back leg to be able to kick with your front leg at any time without shifting weight back first.
In real fight, how should I stand dear Sifu? I am a wing chun guy too who practiced kick-boxing before and is used to boxing footworks, but don't know now how to stand in a real fight in wing-chun style.
Adam, in one of the previous videos you talked about palm strikes - cutting into an attack and causing a deflection. Is that something you can expand upon? Is it one of the proper responses to a straight punch or even a hook?I know jeet kune do has the same idea and I assume it was borrowed from wing chun?
Shifting with the heel? So this is not cat stance? Because in cat stance.. the front foot is on the toes... from karate... don't see Adam replying to questions on youtube... would be great to interact with us..
master adam chan so tell me both shaolin kung fu and wing chun kung fu are good and effective for self defence and fighting but which is easy and hard to learn
@@rm89 well I looked up and they told me that Shaolin Kung Fu is good for self-defense and fighting just like Wing Chun but tell me your opinion which Kung Fu style is used more for self-defense and fighting Shaolin or Wing Chun
@@gerardocovarrubias1127 in jet lis fearless movie they wear Muslim clothing. They use two hand grips and they also use prayer beads. Using two hand grips are all important for kung fu. If you have prayer beads, you can say bismillah while rolling the beads. I use tasbih which is the Muslim prayer beads. Kung fu is the grandfather of all martial arts and is also known as the grand daddy of hand to hand fighting. Or you can say subhanallah a lot. Practising with two hand grips or prayer beads probably will make your knuckles strong. Shaolin and wing chun are based on this
Please do a video on why ip chun when doing chi sau and both arms touch uses so little movement. When u first learn it you do a full bong sau and it doesnt look like he really moves his bong sau elbow up at all. I mean he does move it but compared to a beginner its not much. I noticed a guy kinda almost hit him twice in the body. I know it wouldnt land in a million years its not that. My point was the second time he tried it I could see ip chun follow the energy didnt miss a beat and hit him in the chest before his attack finished. Are there other examples in wing chun where you start doing a big motion and it gets smaller when mastered? This video appeared on my homepage after typing this comment ua-cam.com/video/SXFTzkAE8ac/v-deo.html
Pero estaria mejor que se viera un poñetazo real a su velocidad real y asi ver todo el proceso de parada y ataque como se fuera Todo verdad porque asi es como una coreografia de cine
Assuming that you are being attacked and then you counterstrike by moving forward isn't very realistic. Boxers will be moving in and out and do some fake jabs followed by a hook. BJJ will do fake attacks and drops down quickly to grab both of your legs and then push forward. Wrestlers will move sideways, lower their center of gravity, and attack one of your legs. Wing Chun must find a way to move forward or sideway very quickly. Changing stance doesn't do the job. The question is, how do you make chum kiu 10 times faster in a real fight. Wing Chun should also be able to fake attacks using either footwork or handwork or both.
I dont know sifu. you seem like great sifu. I'm sorry but I beg to differ, I was taught by William Cheung . everything you said is true except on 1 thing. NEVER slide your feet. Always step when shifting weight, Forward step is a half moon step. and backward . similar to Xing-I. In sil lim tao, you step in half circle to set up stance. step, step, step, step..never slide ball or heel , step whole foot.... quarter step, chain step(when you switch to left forward to right forward and vice versa), t_ step, crab step, forward /backward steps..etc...
Develop a wing chun vs mma system. Mma has a transparent repertoire of movements and attacks. Wing chun always deomnatates against wing chun. Adapt wing chun to anticipate and dominate mma

Knowing basics is paramount. Thank you Sifu Adam
In the style I train, we do the shifting. It is great to see another teach it.
Just wanted to say I love your channel I don’t practice wing chun but I do practice zan shou quan and Xíng yi quan but I found your videos to be adaptable and very instructive thank you
Genius! Love the point about moving the joints together.
Greetings Mr Chan, thank you for your insight and sharing.

You never know what movement you will use in a fight. All movements ate on the table.
Waiting here for sparring between you and this big guy, show us if your techniques really work
Excellent footwork, most traditional style like tai chi form
Nice seeing you again Adam.
I missed your videos.
I hope life treats you well.
Peace.

Very well done, a difficult concept explained right. Perhaps might be worth mentioning how Jun Ma can collapse into Toi Ma.
非常喜欢陈师傅的视频，是明师👍
A take it u mean 70/ 30 with ur front and back leg ,,thanks for the video really good u are a great teacher my friend,,
aye stay in glasgow,,Scotland ,,hope,peace, love,,
Slim Tao is to create the frame. Chum Kiu is to move/engage the frame. Biu Jee is to recover the frame.
Spot on
That u shifu that very help full

Get that out of your head. Your stance is always where it needs to be.
u definitely watched master wong

01:13 when Sifu Adam smiles to you it means you are dead
"You're not moving out of the way (your centerline), you're spinning the enemy out of the way (his centerline), so you're moving him, you're not moving for him".
I agree. Don't forget about Rocky Marciano who could hit like a mule. He only needed one punch to knock a guy out. Watch him fight Joe Walcott.

Im wong shun leung style too. I understand what he's saying but different styles.
Hit/move at angles = boxing
Hit/move in straight line = fencing
Hit/move in zig zags = wing chun
what is the advantage of heel pivoting?
I'm very interested to know how to move sideways, diagonal, backward, with speed, then balance.. so we need to enroll on that program sir?
In real fight, how should I stand dear Sifu? I am a wing chun guy too who practiced kick-boxing before and is used to boxing footworks, but don't know now how to stand in a real fight in wing-chun style.
Angle change wedge
El que ataque que lo haga con su velocidad y si el que defiende se tiene que poner protectores que se los ponga

Facts
You can apply this and still be in the ball of the foot.
