Wing Chun - Sparring Footwork Drill (part 1)

[0713mas]

@shengchenfan I welcome constructive debate from one martial artist to another. I studied WC for over 4 years & JKD concepts for 6 years. I've pulled trapping off in street altercations & I still use those principals. For starters WC structure is unrealistic to what peoples bodies are hardwired to do in a violent confrontation. I've yet to see an actual WC fights, or even full contact sparring so how do we judge this as fact?

[0713mas]

@Warkiam in a real fight you seldom see traditional trapping even with classically trained fighters. So pummeling is what works better & is seen more often. I trained WC & JKD for several years, it just doesn't happen against boxers or fighters that hold there hands up & re-chamber strikes. So personally I'm sticking with the pummel & dropping the chi sao

[shengchenfan]

@0713mas Most JKD guy don't have structure to pull off trapping correctly,They only have Trapping Techniques,Techniques will get you killed on the street without the proper structure and principles to pull it off.I'm also and WC/JKD guy and Its worked well for me for years.(No disrespect to you) I'm just saying.

Jin Kazama and Brian Fury :o

[0713mas]

Agressive attacks & fights more often then not skip, over trapping range. There is less than a full step distance between the grappling & pummeling ranges. So isn't it practical to ask, why is so much time is spent training this?

[Warkiam]

@0713mas Same reason it's a good idea to train for a clinch even though you know you want to take the fight straight to the ground. More control for you, less control for them.

99.9% of WC practitioners miss out on is the hidden truth: WC is only the boxing part of Shaolin. It is incomplete w/out tai chi pushing hands (wrestling) - the footwork dilemma. 3) complete chin na (submissions).

* when U past the chi sao range - that's pushing hands wrestling.

when taken into context of tai chi push hands...it's obvious.

crossing bridge 2 chi sao should be done WHILE shifting & turning the corner STRAIGHT INTO PUSH HANDS > chin na

the better the monk, the FEWER THE MOVES

wooden dummy footwork!!!

[RedOnChrome]

Isnt Bryan leaning a little to far back in his stance?

[sakhalin75able]

Thanks for that video and good luck with your DVD :))

[chinaboxer]

@theawakener7 definitely a valid movement, but just remember that you're basically "gambling", by compromising your structure with a side kick. not that the move wouldn't work, but by doing so, you give the opponent a window to "close the gap" and counter as well or take you to the ground etc...

[akirahojo2]

Thanks Jin, another good instruction video.

Bik Ma was starting to feel like a prison. Thank you for posting this!

[ericzhi]

Ok that explains how you defend against a boxer - how do you then attack him?

[iApna]

@ericzhi - Boxers are very bouncy on their feet. They come in fast, change directions and step back out of range quickly. They test their distance with jabs a lot helps them set you up with big punches. Learn to recognize feints and fakes. Learn to use them yourself. Learn to kick and learn to commit to your kicks (big difference). Don't keep your hands low like traditional Wing Chun practitioners, that will just get you knocked out. Overall join a boxing club and spar, thats what I did.

[kirecorp]

@ericzhi Kick him in the knees.

one "dislike" this

[yourandidiot1]

I have done a good deal of boxing and this man is clear and accurate in his instructions although it would be almost impossible to learn purely from Videos these should defiantly be used as a training aid.

[ownage4000]

This might come in handy

[bongwatertastey]

Do you know jkd too? I know jkd stems from wing chun and just wondering if the same principles apply

[tekken1563]

hey jin thanks for video.by this time i dont have opportunty to go in martial arts club so your videos help me very much

[thaditinitini]

its exellent that you focus in a situation wing chun vs another style (boxing range thta is uses in diffrent fighting styles), because in the clases, we always use another wing chun guy for practice or sparring, and it not get close to the real fight. I think that this is the way, that every style should be practiced, at least one in a while.

[SamuraiTankyuusha]

Thanks again for another great lesson. I hope your book goes well. I know your DVD will.

[sdurgefafd]

jin, do you know the word jin means demon in arabic ಠ_ಠ

[chinaboxer]

@sdurgefafd hahah..nice! =D

[adrianglennbionat]

@chinaboxer Jin, The Wing Chun Demon, Catchy.......

[DojiSan]

@sdurgefafd No it does not mean demon! It means spirit the unseen. It could be bad or good spirit.

[nofd1977]

@sdurgefafd Not sure about a Demon, but he is a BEAST in WC

[tsi2568]
