Very nice video showing the effectiveness of open hand strikes. I believe the student who was struck was hit in Gall Bladder 20. Is that right? I am not familiar with other names for this area of the head ... I simply know it as the area around the occipital lobe. We use these strikes in aikido when entering for techniques like irimi nage (entering throw) or kaiten nage (turning throw).
LoL, bong sao lap sao strike rarely works in an actual fight, UNLESS the person is willing to stick or rush you. Second of all, that brachial stun is not exclusive to Wing Chun...not a wing chun nerve strike. Alot of chinese martial arts have that or any martial arts that study the human body for that matter.
Gotcha. Just thought I'd call foul when I see one. Having lived in the States for years and now moved back to Taiwan to train CMA, I don't appreciate how sometimes Asian teachers like to pick on bigger and tougher-looking foreign students in order to show off.
By the way, I've been watching your Silat clips for several years -- very cool and informative. Some of the applications you show resemble the secret applications that are only reserved to disciples in southern CMA styles.
@StevenRayW That is an interesting perspective, but perhaps they choose the bigger and tougher looking people to demonstrate the effectiveness of the technique?
Eh, when in Rome - I address my seniors with respect, I have nothing to prove. Also - yes, it WAS a cheap shot, in a way. I get what he was trying to demonstrate, but he didn't expand on the technique, just used it as an opener for something else. Rattled my cage well enough, but he didn't mention WHERE it came from, and I kinda thought it was a lessening of his instruction. I explained it to several of the students later on, but they seemed more wrapped up in the "effect".
I've been sent, literally, dozens of emails about this video. Yes, Tai Sigung Chow did indeed hit me with a "stun strike", and no, I am not faking it. He caught me by surprise because I wasn't at all expecting it, and although it made me see stars for a second, it wasn't a "kill shot" kind of thing, the point was to show entries from a bong sao. Follow up varies from person to person. Depending on which version you work, this strike is found in the first 5 motions of your wooden dummy form.
wow bobbe just wobbled, wow, and bobbe is super fast himself, now im scared yikes, but also great footage, always some of the best in pencak silat & wing chun vids on youtube, keep up the good work.
I thought it was the lateral side of the neck at first, st-9, si-17, but it was actually the lateroposterior side of the neck, not necessarily a medical acupoint, but a sensitive area. I think he chose that to spare you serious injury but teach you where pressure point hitting comes into play. had he hit you on the side where the carotid artery and baro receptors are, ugh, that would have been ugly! First time I've ever seen a Wing Chun Master do that on camera! Thanks for posting!

Chows ego gets in his way. There was no reason to strike that hard in a learning environment. It is rather pathetic.

...It was harder than it looked. I took a nap right after Tai Sigung Chow was done with me.
