    I practiced Wing Chun some thirty/forty years ago, but it seemed that no one mentioned the simple but important facts as illustrated by you. Thank you very much for your free sharing.

      I think that Wing Chun is a pretty good technique and I'm very very very powerful technique indeed I just wish I could have had been doing this and karate the right way and I would have kept up my practice is over the years it could have helped it could have saved it my life for the better of us all 🥋☯️🙏😌🙏☯️🥋

      Must be some of the stuff the other big name schools don't hold back on.. The ones that teach everyone the same...no closed door techniques...
      Truly make so much more sense....

      @@kcorsnosbigThank you Brother for sharing the basics right off the get go.
      As Martial Arts 🥋 in the United States 🇺🇸 has been taught incorrectly.
      Americans have just like there Christians churches ⛪️ made it into a business.
      It actually sickens my stomach to watch people 😔to get ripped off.
      With all these Dojo’s taking money 💰 from those who do not know any better.
      Wing Chun is a life style that I respect from the Chinese community.
      Look forward to learning more from you.

    People talk shit about WC but I'll tell you this, as a relatively experienced striker I've learned more about entrances by watching WC & FMA videos and applying or adapting them to my personal game than any other martial art that I have actually practiced to some degree. I spar with guys who've only trained kickboxing for the most part and between the entrance strategies I've picked up from WC & FMA most of them have a hard time seeing me coming. I use traps & locks very sparingly but when the opportunity is there it's a done deal the majority of the time. Diversify your skillset, you don't need to become an expert in every martial art but if you just get the basics of each then you take what's useful for you & apply it. As they say in Ninjutsu "If it works use it".

    Some of the most painful and debilitating strikes are in Okinawan karate BLOCKING with the forearms. Every practioner of Goju, Isshin-ryu, Shorin-ryu, Uechi-ryu etc remembers to the day he dies the pain of practicing blocking. It wasn't bad with other students because you would both go easy on each other. But when you had to practice with a Black Belt, oh the pain. I've been thinking about getting a Wing Chun wooden dummy to start conditioning my forearms again.

    Well that's interesting about using the squareness of the holes , never heard that before. I built my own dummy body out of PVC drainage pipe back in the 90's and just made round holes for conviinience , and the arms I bought were round too. It works fine for what I do because I really don't use much Wing Chun . I even added a spring loaded leg to practice sweeps and trips. But that's really cool and it makes total sense. Always more to learn !

    No.1 > First and foremost is the wooden dummy used to train Japanese or Chinese martial arts.
    No.2 > is this wooden dummy also available overseas ( if indeed yes, is it possible to specify which countries uses it).
    No.3 > here is the last and most difficult question: if there's a martial arts school in South Africa that uses it and it's close to Pretoria, could it be possible that you can specify which school it is because I want to continue training again.
    All the best
