How to do Wing Chun Lesson 21: basic leg exercise/ blocking a side kick

[MrKemal34]

if i'm not train my arms and then i try to block a kick using my arms, could the kick broke my arm? sorry for the bad english

[ben10546]

@MrKemal34 Depends how you block,if you block without power,you will definitely fail but if you twist and block with power,you might not fail.

[iunnosomeguy1]

@MrKemal34 well yeah ofc it CAN break it but if u do it right it wont. it depends on wat kick. if its this one its not so much to actually hit it out of the way hard but just divert the energyusing ur arms but mostly from moving out of the way. the arms there to makeur dodging easier by making more of a gap to escape to if u know wat i mean.

paciucula moment lala

[djpietro1000]

Komu się wydawało że coś z początku wpierdala ;D

[Keeganftw]

[purgatorygoddess]

lol it is goood!

[MrBTM2011]

yes i am ready

[adulfov003]

I bet doing all these vids is helping master wong with his english x)

[Crastics07]

His way of talking reminds me a bit of Bruce Lee, very informative, very well instructed. I subscribed, and for the other reason of a bit of Bruce Lee sound a like, a bit not a lot.

[130kali]

This is a good video.

[duongnavy]

[semphony100]

My answer to this useless lesson is WING CHUN HAS NO BLOCKING TECHNIQUE RATHER DIVERTING and thats what makes it possible for a weeker fighter to kick a hulk's Asssss

[Sasuke90000000]

Thank you for showing us this for free. *bow*

[evanhglr8]

anybody notice how that kick didnt even phase him

[zerox42100]

awesome teacher



[ErsBlaK]

His english ist epic, but his martel art skills ar much more epic :D

[Hiyashi95]

Putcho hands like this ! xDDDDD

[TheTransmuter]

Realmente incrível, Master Wong demonstra uma forma muito boa de defesa, se usada corretamente.

[YourIWanna]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL his voiceee

[brothernature33]

Jim finally got a hit in

[Xxxgas808xxx]

awsome cant wait 2 do more...

[allcousins]

Have you met ip man?

[13ek5ensei]

Wing Chun 2: Electric Boogaloo?

[noliousmaximus]

master Wong can't go wrong

[ZmaJovaJs7]

Watch Jin Young.He teaches more efficiently with traditional Wing Chun.You don't even know the technique name of your blocking hand,ha.Jes,for technique,this is a very good move,but it's not so safe,so i recommend you to teach something that's traditional,like Wong Shun Leung's teaching and his Wing Chun philosofy

[rpca1000]

very useful to all of thanks master wong

[kayastar89]

this its tactic.....very cool....

[mmakid1980]

ty so much master wong

[djgrooveline]

i would defend with a bong gerk or yap gerk over a gwat sao for a waist level kick

[OrangCinaHitam]

What if the attacker applies his side kick in a very near distance, even you cut, you also couldn't really divert his kick with your block. any alternatives for this?

[ILikeWeatherGuy]

hehe i love how everylesson it gets a little bit more intense ;D 

[qbsynyster]

@gr1mreaper25 screw off kid. You're on a video that teaches how to learn wing chun and you're critisizing it? Failure.

[BballKingx]

@qbsynyster you're such a tool. he was defending it, not criticizing it

[Cyzii]

but if you stand against a guy who is a kickboxer after a kick he would be ready to hit you with his fist right? where would your defence be for that

[MrHeadd1]

So much hate for a bunch of girls.Cant handle the critics hey?Kick my ass hey?Fuck you all!

[MrHeadd1]

Wing Chun?A bit silly isnt it?Train for 12 months learn a few little moves,Fail badly in a fight,waste ya cash.But,Now you can dance like a monk.Great.

[gr1mreaper25]

@MrHeadd1 Funny you say that because if I were to use wing chun on you in a street fight you would be wrecked. And did you know that Bruce lee based a ood chunk of wing chun in his JKD, not only that but when he was younger used that to fight off kids at school? A bit silly eh?

[MrHeadd1]

@gr1mreaper25 Fuck off fool.I got a cupboard full of guns.I hunt for pleasure.Id just as soon put you down the same way i kill anything else.You cant honestly say 12 months w.c.k.f can give you any more skills than say,1 kickboxing lesson or maybe 2 hours Ladies self defence class.Wing chun isnt the be all that ends all.And by the way,I'd kick your skinny little ass till the cows come home,son.

[gr1mreaper25]

@MrHeadd1 Wow man your fucking cool. i like how there is soo many internet warriors on youtube but before i continue I'd like to thank you for the laugh. But seriously kickboxing is not nearly as useful as as wing chun, and btw dont make me kick this fucking huge cow home bitch!

[StopFlaggingVideos]

@MrHeadd1 fool

[nightfire4107]

I want the same outfit the dude in the right is wearing... :)

[rancy240]

is there such thing as a kick and a punch same time? if there is, plz tell me how to blcok that teqnique plzz

[andypandyhu]

@rancy240 it would be almost impossible to kick and puch at the same time with full power in both strikes but if you did come across such a strike if the kick was below waist and the punch above then block the kick with your leg and the punch with your arm, if both punch and kick above waist use a tansau/guan sau combo (i think names are correct) if your foot work is correct and your grounded properly you will have good ballance to attack and the attacker will be so off ballance its suicide 4him

[andypandyhu]

@rancy240 i have only got the first sash in wing chun (red) not in master wongs system so maybe he would have a better way to approach it and perhaps a higher graded student of wing chun would do it different also but i feel confident my way would work well enough to be covered well and be able to attack with power :-) hope that helps :-)

much respect to master wong :-)

[rancy240]

hang on. just dont discount nike yet... oh wait, nike doesnt have that much t shirts! LOL

[bad3ip2k10]

Master Wong you have my gratitude, practicing your exercises everyday helped me developed discipline

[ncrb73]

this guy moves really well. I don't know who this instructor is, but his movement, reactions, grace all reek of professionalism.

[PainMonkey]

@Zakiuz101 Might wanna consider tai chi or chi gong........those are pretty good for back probs sometimes. Consult a physician first though.

[uzamaki32]

4:15 cant get enough of that part hahhahahha:P

[guselsky]

when he kicks, he's not really aiming for him. he merely kicks the air in front of him..

[jethroxas13th]

hey guys i got some questions. I must've been blocking the kick wrong at first. let me explain what's wrong with my hand. there is no pain, it looks normal. but i cant move my last two fingers (pinky and ring) it almost feel similar when your hands go slightly numb on a cold day, its hard to move all your fingers throughout their full range of motion with complete control...

Any advice for me

thanks

[stapling1990]

wow dude, ur better off going to the doctor then asking questions HERE

[iApna]

This is exactly the reason you do not block kicks with your arms or hands. Use your shins. Sometimes you have no choice but to use your upper arms/shoulders. Move out of the way or use your shins.

[jethroxas13th]

thanks for the advice

my pinky still hurts ^^

[gutsu91]

@jethroxas13th

You've damaged your ulnar nerve, (referred to by lay people as the funny bone though it isn't a bone at all) considering you cant move those two fingers I hoped you got it checked out or fixed it straight away. (this comment is quite late, just wanted to post it in case others had the same problem)

[jethroxas13th]

@gutsu91 thanks for the advice. it feels much beytter now but im not sure.

im gonna go see the hands specialist maan im so clumsy ^^

[cmzuppe]

have fun breaking your forearm in this "pachicular exercise"

[gutsu91]

@cmzuppe

If you're breaking your forearm doing this then you're doing it wrong. In fact it shouldn't hurt at all.

[iApna]

I see no point of moving back as part of the drill - Read: If you want to develop your blocking technique of side kicks or front kicks practice up against the wall.

Stand your ground, do not step back, learn to block fast, counter hard and fast.

Otherwise whats the point of the drill? If your intent was too move back then why block? Then just side step and counter. Your opponent striking with a side kick will be off balance anyways if there is any torque or force in it.

[Daermun]

you move back out of range in case there kick powers through your block and hits you, and the block is extra security and damages there leg as well. no one will want to kick you if youve smacked their calf with your fore arm a few times.

[iApna]

I do agree to an extent. But do you want to keep your hands busy blocking or busy hitting your opponent? Side-step, counter and move. Repeat if necessary.

In terms of hitting the calf. I wouldn't bother. You can do that in this drill at this speed but you're taking unnecessary chances in my opinion. Plus if you face a Thai/MMA practitioner their calves will not be easily hurt. Trust me on that ;)

[jethroxas13th]

thanks for the advice i appreciate it

but my hand still hurt though

any advice its been amonth and i cant punch

[dhamilton707]

Whether or not you move back while doing the technique is not important. The key points that I believe Master Wong wants you to come away with, is blocking of course, but more importantly moving your body/feet freely and staying in the "Wing Chun position" with your enemy so you can counter attack more effectively.

[cipher2012]

@iApna Thank You. This guy should be using a circular block to deflect the attack outside the centerline, not pushing it downwards in a way that only works if you step backwards out of the way. Weak instruction.

[LAHrebirth]

@iApna whats the point? depends what your motive or strategy is, for instance bruce lee uses his boxing shuffle to get ouf of the way yet he still blocks and parries

the blocks are incase you can't move out in time, you move away to conserve energy as the opponent wastes his, and thus allows you to move in

wing chun has two sides, depends HOW you use it. Even a HK movie "prodical son" teaches this" starring sammo hung

if you're strong you can force your way in, if not you must parry it

[LAHrebirth]

@LAHrebirth you're totally failing the concept that kungfu is all about and what bruce lee taught. I.e you must ADAPT to your opponent

for example me, i'm a short asian, i can't just force my way aggressively against a huge white guy now can I?? i have to fight smart.

You're not, because you think all people are the same size. You're probably of a reasonable size and think EVERY user is the same which is WRONG

[Darkangle25uk]

lololol

[theawsomeshow55]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck thas hard

[MATALLIGAZ]

master wong's the don what a legend !!

[chrishomo1]

i am weady masa wong

[kurosakilito]

I love the master wong vids. you really learn alot from them. but i would use this hand block against a side kick from a real karate practitioner. the kick snaps, and goes in with a lot of force. many wing chun people break arms blocking powerful kicks with their arms. i know hes the man, not saying anything bad, just respectfully disagreeing with this particular approach

[johnnylynnlee]

repeat: we are here to talk about martial arts not religion! shit!

[0NonZens0]

Thank you very much for these instructions Master Wong.

[youtubkicksass]

He don't need your "Christ" bullshit, He has no trouble whipping God's ass. God is down at his knees even God pray to Master Wong everyday for new videos.

[Standingwithfeast]

Repent of Perish youtubkicksass for the Lord doesn't need martial art. He just speak you into molecules. Stupid blasphemer.

[wencong1356]

his assistant looks like goku

[harokahtajdid]

hahaha...so funny...u noticed dat...

[buckckck]

love the way he struggles with the lenguage xD

[chumkui999]

love the way jim always looks like hes only just woke up...lol

[amateratsuZwolf]

quiero entrenar con mi heremano mayor xd

[azkeyz]

What I'm trying to say is this teacher has helped me feel more confident about my survival in these dark times.

It's as if he's saved my life.

May he be blessed beyond messure.

[azkeyz]

I like this teacher alot.

I'm glad I can watch him online.

I know he's missing some things inside of himself, he needs the power of christ.

Christ is critical to my Qi/Chi meditations.

Ezekiel 38-39 is why I study every martial arts form.

[johnnylynnlee]

go to hell motherfucker!!!! he have his own religion, he don´t need another else! respect the asiatic religions and them creeds and beliefs. ur truth is just UR truth, not of everyone. we r all here to lean martial arts, not to heare u preaching!

[sixstringsentence]

dude chill he's just passing his opinion I mean I know he's a bit preachy saying he needs christ but he's not saying he doesn't have his own religion Just calm down a bit

[Flubly]

And your truth is just your truth so I'm going to believe in intolerance! Respect the creeds of bigotry!

See, your reasoning can be turned around to defend things you probably don't like.

[Alexmba1]

Funny one this... He gets very aggressive in this one and then goes very camp suddenly at the end. Loving these lessons and the way they are structured. a quality course.

[LacNhu]

Thank you so much Master Wong. I have watched all your videos. I love them all.

[albarrakaka]

this guy is amazing, great martial artist and even better teacher, he explains everything so clearly

even with his accent.

[BlackbeanTofu]

i am learning wing chun through his vedios almost everyday, even i a

[WeakHeadphones]

It's really badass at 3:50 - 4:00

[pr0xide]

hehe

[DjTherrty3]

oh...he doesn't...but he looks the same...^^

[DjTherrty3]

the other guy takes part in a dance movie..."you got served" ...

[crazy4japan]

"don't train with a poxy lil wing chun guy" lol. but it's SO true, you have to train as though this is a real encounter to benifit from the training the most, practically. this is brilliant. i just started wing chun this week and these vids are an amazing insight and headstart! Thank you so much Master Wong!

[jnco10999]

this guy is awesome and I appreciate all the videos he's made for the people who actually have an interest in the style...thank you very much master.

[uberbigbread]

puchicular

[sloyal37]

[dmd54]

anybody know where he teaches from?

[houstonrocketsfan8]

he lives in the uk

[xobile187]

master wong is awesome.... you can tell by his movements that he really does know what he's doing...

[KaskadaXxXXx]

The black adidas dress looks cool :D

[kinokid]

the dress code of martial artist: Always have Adidas on!!LOL!!

[TheMotogavlas84]

@kinokid

And if youre english, you can have some lonsdale

[Carrion29]

@kinokid at least he's natural, mate :) he ain't trying to pose as an oldschool kung fu master. The guy's awesome nonetheless... adidas gear and all :D

[ILikeWeatherGuy]

@kinokid tijme to get adidas clothes ;D

[1256rok]

geilllllllllllllllll

[idris105]

let me borrow u jim... always this

[brazilianspiritzz]

that's his  "parchikoolar" word

[cookiehunter117]

His accent is cool, but don't overdo it so that you make fun of him, he is using a lot of effort to put these videos up. You see how he is using a microphone on his jacket instead of the cheap camera audio?

[brazilianspiritzz]

stop sucking up faggot. I like his strong accent.

[cookiehunter117]

how is that sucking up? I respect him which is different than sucking up. Besides, there is no need to call anyone faggot. If your heart is that rotten, you shouldn't be doing Chinese martial arts.

[brazilianspiritzz]

Learn to respect someone who acts different than from u. I jumped to conclusion I was disrespecting him just because I noticed his accent? I rekon his strong accent, I have accent as well. If u wanna do chinese martial arts, lose that scared closed mind which fears not to be wrong all the time.

[sluseter2123]

cooooooool , Thanks a lot master wong

[moswift]

there is a tactical desavantage unsing any type of block in the inside... use the pak sau principle. You have to destabilize you opponent, not give him momentum to use the other side agaist you... So yes going outside is much more desirable than going inside ( there's no right or wrong answer), notice i said desirable. And instead of stoping his momentum by hitting the back leg, use it by pulling on his lead foot , with your lead heel.....

just a little wing chun food for thought

[taocircle]

You (138mws) are a God send for us that can't afford to be in class right now. Thank you, like I said I have two of his videos already (self defense, and fighting art). I can't stand not being in class and having others to train with (unemployment in the states are nasty), but this keeps me inspired. Thanks greatly, 138mws.
