@dodadue13 Hey you are being too kind!. You should have seen me yesterday, I am much more precise.. I have a few other wooden man videos maybe 2 or 3 more? If you have time to kill check them out you will see it change a bit. Thanks for watchnig and of course if you have any advice please share it I am open to it. Look at n ewer vids though so as not to get advice on things I already fixed hehe Have a great day!
@fkzile1 :) indeed. wow! Judging from the date on this video i have had the wooden man for 3 years! It has been modified a bit since then and.. so have i
Damn dude, put down that ciggy. What, u can live without for just a minute?. Oh and your strikes are weak at best. No power no direction. No nothing! Try numchuck. At least you can still hold your ciggy.
@gilbertvizcaino Thank you for your comment. Perhaps you can also give advice on the newer vids? Also I prefer a machete over nunchucks.. they are not useful.. check out my machete kung fu video and please share some of your videos so I can improve!
@drcaos We'd have to go one over it step by step. And this is just random posture not like the wooden dummy techniques in wing chun. If you are int erested We should use the wooden dummy form to discuss the details. At this point in time I was just playing with the dummy, testing out movements and positions that I use when practicing with people, but the formal wooden dummy form is more technical. some positions are obvious others not, but point is dont practice moves that make no sense to you!
@drcaos continued: also please check out the newer wooden man video i have and you will see the difference between the posture and positions I used here and what I use more recently. Thanks for comment! Have a good one
You are very kind! This evolved from kung fu for health (chi gong.. a bit of yoga) and then one day I asked a friend to try and push me over and the rest of the story is obvious hehe.. My design of the wooden man is not like the wing chun dummy since the arms are far apart.. but I think I will make another one at some point with a smaller post and arms one on top of the other and apart about 30degrees or so.. anyway thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment and tips!
Thanks! I really appreciate your kind words and thanks for taking the time to check it out. I posted another one of me playing wooden man at some point later. A few months maybe. So if you wanted to please feel free to check it out. ! And I agree kung fu as with understanding reality is something that you can have many guides and pointing fingers, but in the end it is your own internal efforts that make results. Have a good one.
I admit my kung fu is no good, but i in fact use these techniques all the time while engaging others. I'd be interested in your comments on the newer one I uploaded of me working with the wooden man. And you are right I don't do wing chun.. I'm a mutt with many influences mixed in. Have a good one
Thank you for your advice, I will practice harder. This vid was the first time I used a wooden man for practice and quite a long time ago. Good day, sir.
I don't know what sexier: those amazing things you do with your hands, your ability to handle all that wood, or how you do it so causally and calmly while sucking down a smoke....ooooh baby.
@MediumSizedCrane I knew he smoked cigs but i had not heard of the opium. interesting. Just goes to show that wisdom can come from any source. "I have never made mistakes. I just learned 10,000 things that dont work" :)
Very interesting video. Your attention to squarely facing, and your integration with footwork is nice. Your moves and combos seem organic, not just rote. I hope you keep posting your explorations.
What style, precisely, do you practice? Does your style/lineage have a set form for the wooden dummy?
Hi Dale, thank you so much for your kind words. I don't really practice a style, I just dabble. I have learned some classical fist sets, but prefer a more dynamic approach just trusting the mind will know what to do in a given situation before the brain has time to think about it. Be aware of your posture and breathing all day no matter what activity you are doing and this is my style of kung fu. Most techniques I use come from opening and closing doors, cooking, cleaning and so forth.
Dont let this guy fool you ,Dale. I agree with your post. He does have some skills indeed. If you are following your own path, Sloppy, its a good path. Keep training, mane!
good jub ...you can also see my wooden dummy 7 days work cost around 60$ ;-)
