i was wondering what is with the upper arms of the wooden dummy....
i don't see the reason y is soo high and with such a high angle... i really don't see many ppl keeping their arms with that angle and that high... doesn't that makes you hitting too high?
if you can explain it better to me the reason behind it i'll be gladful! :D
@MrMarzialista92 Not really sure what you mean but wing chun cannot "win". Both choy lay fut and wing chun are methods to be used by individual practitioners. Victory or defeat is determined by each individuals respective skill level.
@LeHammockRider I believe it would be classified as an "old man's" martial art, but that's based on footwork types used.
I would think of "old man's" martial arts being one where the person is more grounded. A "young man's art" would be one that uses a lot of agility, so an example would be a western boxer.
@fdesa12 I think that an "old man's art" would be one which relies more upon the sue of internal power, as opposed to external force. Taijiquan is an example of an "old man's style", but you also get styles which combine internal and external, like wing chun, bajiquan, and fut gar, to great effect!
And yeah, I think that, typically less jumping, "flying" and agility would also characterise "old people" styles.
@LeHammockRider choy lee fut is a very effective martial art but the foot work stances forms etc. are more complicated and more difficult to learn .... in compare with some other styles .... and you need very strong legs for all those choy lee fut stances
for older people i would suggest styles like wing chun ... or chen tai chi
stupid ....... to slow the opponent will always strike back this way you let to many opening's you need to be faster not to allow the opponent to attack back
@Koshk4 one of the purposes of training on the Choy Lay Fut wodden dummy is to teach correct positioning of the footwork to minimize the opponents opportunity to strike back using the side angles. I could stand in front of the dummy and throw my hands faster but that is not the purpose of these drills.
dummy training is exactly that. Training. Choy lay fut uses a lot of straight line punching in actual combat mixed with 'off angle' strikes which are wider. The wider Strikes come into their own when fighting multiple attackers. Choy lay fut is actually widely regarded as (arguably) the best system of defence against multiple attackers. (Something that even Bruce Lee agreed with!!!)
Very nice demo... Love the movement, power and accuracy-flow of the adept....

Very nice! I did a little CLF years ago, but we didn't have a dummy.
Tell me, are there specific "sets" for the CLF dummy, or is it one set, or it more just a set of drills?
Thanks!!

Wow this looks great. Is CLF a "young man's art"? I'm in my 40's, would I be able to learn it?

@LeHammockRider There is some advantage to starting young but it's never to late.

@LeHammockRider Yeah LeHammockRider is right. Some students at my school are in their 70's.
