Wong Shun Leung Pole Punching Drill

[vyvial]

Saying that the late WSL is not very good at this isn't very fair. There are a couple things going on that need to be considered. Most of these guys from back then had no idea at all that they would be critiqued like this in public, so they did not really care that much about image or critique, it just didn't matter. Also there is a difference in practice, as example Moy Yat really focused on precise technique and structure, WSL focused on energy and intent. Neither are wrong both were great.

My sifu calls these battle punches. I was told that it helps prepare you for the staff form with the low horse and punches. It's great for leg strength and endurance.

this is the chair gwan kuen as called by Sifu. "Pull apart Pole punches" not a comabt drill, just to train the hands and legs to be ready for the pole!

Super. Tolle Vorübung für Langstock.

It's also from original Wing Chun but it's obvious WSL doesn't do this drill very well, as it was originally meant as an attack. I know all the WSL sycophants out there don't want to hear it but it's the truth. I have great respect for WSL, but this is just one of the things he doesn't do very well.

This is "Jian Chui"(arrow fist) that serves as warm up and conditioning for the "Liu Dian Ban Gun"(six and a half points pole form). Jian Chui can of course be applied for actual combat!

You can not base on just a few seconds of video to critique anyone! To me the late GM WSL demonstrated good examples of applying the long pole. Watch his other long pole video. He always correctly positioned his arm next to the pole, unlike most people wrongly position the arm on top of the pole in biao gun.

Almost looks like a Choy Li Fut move.

we call these battle punches, they prep you for the kwan form. i would say check out the battle punches from the Vyvial school. they are a great example.

cfG21, dunno about hung ga. This is a preperation for the long pole and is trained in horse stance.

[cfG21]

uqestion since he is in a horse (say ping day ma) do you guys have to train it like hung ga and the others?
