Energy&Sensitivity Drill The Four Basic Switches

[ksipa]

Another grat video. Amazing how similar to Chen Taiji push hands this drill is. Well the Four Corners push hands drill at least. Thanks for sharing. :)

Hey, from what i see there, ... are you intend to hit again after the pak sao, or is it just because your doing it so slow ?

i have allways tried to lose this intenstion and let my forward pressure drive my hand into him as soon as my paksao releases my stiking hand from his pressure, like letting it happen without thinking of having to hit again. Are you doing the same or do you 'memorize' to hit after the pak ?

Great drill, and thank you for sharing it =)

[blacksilkblacksilk]

@q0x Ultimately it is just forward pressure and arms that are bent according to the obstacles the opponent brings up. This is however a very early beginners löesson. The student was relatively new to things at that stage, and we also did everythring extra slow for the video.

In Wing Chun sticking comes very early, in the filipino arts it is also important but since fmy are knife based sticking is not strssed so much in the beginning. Hope that helps.

YAWN!

Fuk! I'm missing Eastenders!!

[rapidstu01]

Very well explained, slightly different to the way i have been taught, but i will practice this. the more i learn the more i realise how little i know!

[blacksilkblacksilk]

@rapidstu01 Thank you for the kind words. I feel pretty much the same. the more I learn the more I feel like knowing nothing at all. But then again, I like the feeling. Keeps me curious.

Take care and have a very nice weekend.

[alejandrocastr]

Good video friend, you learn things from you, so that practice has a particular name greetings

[blacksilkblacksilk]

@alejandrocastr When I learned the drill it was simply called energy drill. I have since heared the name hubud applied to it or the name pak_cut_slap_punch and other names people came up with. Mostly if we are looking for words it is the version of hubud that is used in the silat styles from the malayian archipelago. There is another form of hubud predominant in the filipines that I have not yet shown.

thanks for the kind words and best greetings to spain

@blacksilkblacksilk Thanks friend for your kindness in responding, best regards

[Ninokimura]

Thank you very much. Well done and easy to understand!

[MrBiglung69]

good work, i do wing chun like alot of others on here,i have done for 6yrs now, your videos are clear and simple, and i like the silat system its very technical like wing chun, but so different, its great to flow between the 2 :p

[blacksilkblacksilk]

@MrBiglung69 Thanks for the kind words. I always try to make stuff as simple as possible. Simplicity is the onlöy way your stuff works for you when it counts.

Flowing between systems is great fun and very usefull.

take care man and have a nice weekend

[fivedragon53]

Any idea why filipino martial arts have similarity with wing chun?

[blacksilkblacksilk]

@fivedragon53 I can only guess. Same anatomy, and similiar conditions. In the filippines the blade was the dominant weapon, but hot climate prevented heavy armor. So you need to be quick and flexible. Also anyghing "unscientific" that did not work was quickly killed on the battlefield. Same with wing chun. That more or less began - legend apart - as a - today we would say - terrorist art that was to quickly produce fighters who stood a chance against heavily armed well trained manchus.My guess

[PendekarBobbe]

There's a lot of opinions about what hubad is or isn't. In my opinion, as long as you're having an honest EXCHANGE of energy...You're doing it right! It doesn't matter how much of one side is doing against another, unless you're training for specifics.

Good job, Black Silk.

[blacksilkblacksilk]

@PendekarBobbe Thank you for the kind words, Sir. Coming from you that means a lot. I appreciate it.

Take care and have a nice week.

[Fightenthusiast]

Outstanding video post! I love the way the hands are relaxed - makes the energy flow much more efficiently. This is how you spot a beginner from a 'learned' FMA practitioner in my opinion -the movements of FMA beginners are usually tensed and forced. You do great work, blacksilk! Keep it up! Keep those arms loose (at least until the moment of impact in actual combat)!

[darylnaidoo007]

Hmm Seem like this is wrong. Supposed to be using opponents momentum and energy not your own strength to re-direct the attack. The Kali flow drill works on the same principle as trapping in Wing Chun or other Kung fu based systems. 

[blacksilkblacksilk]

@darylnaidoo007 Very well Sir. Show me.

Take care and have a nice day.

[geraldevil]

Hey brother,

Very nice instruction- I enjoy the (at speed) and super-slow variations. Well articulated.

great vid thanks for sharing Rick

@ladysha1 small world x

[blacksilkblacksilk]

Thank you for the kind words, superbadlucre.

The hubud lubud was designed in the filipino martial arts with stick and blade in mind. It teaches quick flow with the opponent and it teaches understanding position. It is a family of practice in its oen right quite distinct from chi sao or push hands, but of course they complement each other beautifully. Proficiency in ona will always enhance your ability in the other.

Hope that answer helped along.

take care and have a nice day

[wmpyr]

when you go to a full contact gym, sensitivity is considered something as you have or don't have, the genius of these drills is that one can acquire sensitivity. I trained in various trapping hands before going into some intermediate BJJ, and it helped a lot, my instructor would say that sensitivity was my number one weapon.

[blacksilkblacksilk]

I agree completely. Sensitivity and rhythmen are skills that can be learned, and they are very usefull for any combat art - be it sportive or in selfefense.

good wekk to you

excellent video showing a complicated exercise well done!

[Loyal2law]

SUH-WEET =D! These kinds of hand drills aren't easy to learn, let alone teach. You've explained it in detail & I've learned a lot from it =3.

[blacksilkblacksilk]

Thank you ;-))

[Tyjobuou812]

My God your switches are better than mine!

And I happily agree with narayanr's post,, I for one think you both make an impressive teaching demonstration team. Please continue to share your knowledge and impressive attention to detail, as always you are a treat to study from.

My very best regards - Ty

[blacksilkblacksilk]

[narayanr]

As always, I really appreciate your videos because you show care and concern when you teach and you pay attention to minute details.

Also, the energy flow is relaxed as it should be.

[blacksilkblacksilk]

Thank you brother. Your crazy wisdom is a constant source of inspiration for me.
