I am sorry for those who are unable to understand the process that this man went through I don't know him but he definitely was and is a maverick in the evolution of fighting science.
PAUL thank you for sharing your wisdom and techniques with the world..being a martail artist myself I respect that because you didn't have to ..so glad you did, keeps the art alive and helped the ones who seek to be better ..thank you again.
Paul eventually put on some upper body weight. I still have 3 of his old videos on VHS / put on disk . They are classics. Thanks for this video FightFast.
I grew up fighting in the projects around Boston ma … lots of fights Not in gym…. Jail bar street Only thing that I know that has any hope of helping in a fight is strike first and learn to take a punch anywhere face / stomach / groin I think the key is just pain management and adrenaline control. Adrenaline is your friend till it becomes your enemy…. Can help in short term but will hurt you in a long fight. Just my experience. Take or leave , no matter to me . I guess it’s my opinion and you know what they say about opinions…. Oh p.s. guns work too
I just know adrenaline can be good in other situations ,in fights it usually clouds your ability to attack intelligently but if the fight isn’t over fast you’re gonna run out of energy real fast leaving you drained. Just think of it as a play fight but really try … it’s hard especially if it’s personal
This is one of the worst self defense instructiors I've ever seen. I've never took any self defense course in my life except for basic training in the army back in the 80s and if whoop his ass 🤣🤣😂what a joke
@@djrychlak4443 that's because you're stupid and you don't understand the mechanics of a real fight . It's unbelievable to me how many people fall for this 💩
Bravo, excellent effective pointers from Mr. Paul Vunak! Kyokushin's; Shihan Richard Wolicki, Shihan Miuki Mura, Saiko Shihan later World Oyama Soshu Shigeru Oyama taught us similar real world effective Defense/Combatives.
He trained Isometrics just like Bruce… There is a video out of him explaining it. Speed, Power and Quickness come from the tendons and ligaments. Isometrics build those up
I've spent a lot of time training these sorts of techniques. I do believe that unless someone develops a very high level of skill and very substantial speed as Paul is demonstrating....these techniques become rather unrealistic. They are essentially all derivatives of classic Wing Chun.....and one of the best at this style was Jesse Glover of Seattle who trained under Bruce Lee in the 60s and called this style "Modern Gung Fu" which i think is the overall best description as there was JKD, Wing Chung DO, some hybrid of Fillipino arts with JKD. People Like Glover could really fight and it would have been interesting to see what he could have done in the MMA world with his Judo background. But as far as a testing ground...the best we have is MMA. Many of the tecniques in JKD and the like do not seem to work out well in MMA, though i have Seen Anderson Silva give the closest demo. Boxers...especially Thai do a more basic version of trapping that requires a lot less finesss. Fine motor skills are a big part of advanced Wing Chun based trapping. I believe that for real life or death fighting, the military has the right idea in keeping things more simple and restricting techniques to mostly gross motor movements. There are no videos of real fights, either sport or street on the entire youtube video world that show anyone using these techniques against a skilled trained opponent that i have been able to find in many years of interest in the subject. And even after many years of working these sorts of traps, dealing with a skilled boxer, or example, was still a major major problem. From my experience, the Wing Chun derrivitives show a lot of vulnerability dealing with feints, head movement, low kicks, elbow strikes. In this art we are trying to accomplish a lot of the same things a thai boxer is trying to do from the clinch...in fighting with power strikes and shutting down angles with our own angles. The thai boxer will win that battle every time due to the far less elaborate approach...and that has been well proven.
Sounds like me and you have been on a similar journey. I started boxing at the age of 9 and competing from 11. I have also studied JKD etc. A lot of good training stuff and I love it. 16 years working as a bouncer late 80s into 2000s still found me defaulting back to a nice solid jab cross hook. 🙏🏻
Rule of thumb: among all Kung Fu techniques one has learnt, use only those appropriate in the given situation and only if you have mastered them. Also an element of surprise is crucial.
Jepp on that. Worked myself through JKD, FMA and even WC ( the boxer-victim-training from Hongkong ). For me Trapping only works from active blocking and circeling that towards the opponent, following his RETRACTION in. When he blocks or scoops against that, THEN Lap Sao comes in. Even fast trapping doesn't work from (short) freezes but from moves. With active directing you move the other arm, or his resistence slows him. My main goal being a two on one armdrag - straight down. Maybe try it in easy MMA sparring. And yes, I competed in various styles. Including amateur MMA, where at least circling down punches ( but not in out of that sticking circle ) becomes quite common in sparring.
Not going to lie 5:00 yo u can also pull the arm past your waste line for a knee, since you'd have an outside arm in your position you guys would be able to pivot and reset at the same time
Trapping is a control measure, as well as clearing the way to the target. As he said, sometimes the opening is obstructed, or opponent blocks, or even against a tight defence, if you can get a blitz, usually if they block you can trap to retain the limbs to clear the path for an unobstructed heavy combination. It’s just a different way to do things and it takes a lot of practice to make it work. Simple and direct is the best route. I hope that makes sense I’m pretty tired.
Your question is extremely valid. There is a downside to trapping...and that is while you are trapping your opponent is actively headhunting. This is why boxers, who also do trapping, use it sparingly and mostly from the clinch. Against a highly skilled boxer with no gloves to grab....good luck trapping a fast jab.
Do you not get stuck in a tradition by starting all the techniques in chi sao and not with dynamic movement? Honest question. I think this is how much of wing Chun and derivatives fail in the street is because without starting in Chi Sao forearm to forearm they don't know what to do. I love the techniques in close quarters but practicing that way just standing there static is creating a false narrative and sense of security in my opinion right or wrong. Static opponents aren't threatening.
he and many generations of martial artists never got the information that those "Blocks" were not blocks at all. Things like KIhon, Kata,and Kumite were transmitted but not Bunkai, Tuite and Kyusho. They are useless as blocks because they aren't blocks. It was like a man using a rifle to paddle a boat, complaining that this type of oar is useless. That's why you see so many martial artists returning to their roots and finally deciphering the formerly withheld parts of their arts.
@@QuantumMech_88 So you think that the 1st American EVER allowed to teach Aikido in Japan never got into a fight. You don't think that there was probably so much opposition, not just to him learning, but also being able to teach Japanese their own art, that he never had a fight. It's probably likely that he had as many fights as Bruce Lee, who was doing something similar in teaching something that no one wanted him to. Funny how Bruce Lee, who never had a fight, was the greatest of all martial artist and Seagal, who has multiple accolades is disrespected and portrayed as an idiot.
@@nmn8829 i don't know what you Mean by reference point trapping, my trapping Came from Silat and arnis/Eskrima and used it many times, several times against boxer/thai boxer. I had my share of losing in spar but i had my winning too, either way it's never an easy fight
Didn't watch to the end ...perhaps if you made the moves even faster so the viewer couldn't follow them at all then they wouldn't have to bother to start watching ... would save a lot of time .... 8/10 for the moves in themselves , but 4/10 for presentation
Man, I thought you were good. You're just moving fast and your opponent is moving slow. If someone is moving five times as fast as the attacker, then what else are you going to expect to happen? Boo!!!

To some degree you are correct.....trapping would likely work for people of simmilar skill level to Paul Vunak in this video as he is fast as hell and has serious power in his movments. But someone who moves like that would be effective with any martial art. But against a serious pro boxer these traps would likely get your teeth knocked out as you are taking three moves to make your first strike to the boxer's one. But, if you made the first move....then yes, the traps would then work in that case if the guy was not ready for them.
There’s a lot of fake ads of martial arts on UA-cam but as somebody that actually trains in a few arts this guy does know what he’s doing.

Something for us unfamiliar with trapping why do you want to trap? Instead of headhunting, is it simply attacking the limbs instead?
