Not that this will work every time, but my sifu showed me another way to close when someone keeps their arms up as high as Ed is holding them. he showed me that by palm thrusting a person's elbows toward their shoulders with shock the nerve that controls reflex in the arms. It gives a split second to get past or control the arms. Also, for anyone who tries to guard their face, a horizontal arm can trap both arms long enough for a strike.
ur right i dont do wing chun or anything but when u said about the peoples gaurd and all that yeah they always put their hands up and they swing fast cause they dont know how to fight but u cant just come up to them cause they just swing at u before u do that and prob drop u no offense unless ur really good i mean really good trust me its not just easy as that u cant just boom hit him in the body or nothin he be swingin at u like a crazy ass monkey im not tryin to act all smart
What if he throws a punch as you step forward to close the gap and pops you in the chin or nose? Your hands are pretty low to your face (not critisizing or anything) Im just curious as to how your supposed to block it?
@xXDark0neXx Not every stylist has their hands as low as he does. He is a very tall guy...I am not...so I keep my hands a little higher. I personally that as the chin is the easiest knockout point so my hands should always be between my chin and his hands
My friend started wing chun a few months ago and he's been practising against my (limited) ju jitsu. When he tries to close the gap I jump back and have him marked for counter. In wing chun would it be the philosophy to not engage an opponent who has stepped back (wait for them to come back in) or are there neat tricks to engage the extra distance?
@Kobrazell You've clearly controlled your opponent (friend) by having anticipated his intention and exploited his position. I find it better to lure my opponent just like you did and step in while he's still moving forward.
good beginner's approach to closing the gap. eventually you will have to stick more when closing the gap. Good Wing Chun starts off by "Tapping" and using one hand to block and the other to hit.... But you will want to come to the point where you just need 1 hand to block/attack at once and you can do this by "sticking".
See, now THIS is a good vid, So imma give credit where it's due. 0:23 I do this all the time to my friends and they hate it with a passion when I tell em your W_I_D_E open lol.

@Kobrazell 2 things, he's closing the gap incorrectly, if he does it right, you won't have time to jump back.... 2nd thing he's attacking too soon

You just demonstrated it on a person that doesn't move. But, it just works in a "more real situation" as well.
