Ving Tsun - Pal Jong to Kwan Sau - Sifu Tom Chi

Explanation of how to use Pal Jong as well as how to properly evade and respond to pal jong with kwan sau and variations. Use of Doy Ying. If you don't know the science you don't know the technique. No, these are no preplanned fighting sequences, these are exercises to teach techniques. When you master them the body with respond almost without thought. Ving Tsun/Wing Chun is a complete physics and art that teaches the body an impenetrable defense and a relentless offense. This is not a sport. It is usually considered to be the most advanced application system. Good for beginners and black belts alike VT is often imitated however the science of infighting must be understood to be truly functional. We welcome visitors in a friendly environment and encourage you to come a few times a year even from afar as well as receive teaching visits if you open a school to preserve and promote this rare gem of kung fu.

i would really appreciate you making the video for turning on and off energy. my question is can you practice doy ying with the mook jong, and turning off energy without getting lazy?

[heartslord]

GREAT question! perhaps that answer is always no. However, I've found that it is a snowball effect. Each time we train there are a number of principles to observe. Turning on/off, forward energy, use of doy ying, and more. As we do and evaluate and reimplement we get better.

When we use a bong on the jong, we tap then reduce the energy necessary to hold the arm up, rather than to hold it with great force. Then we move around it and drop it to a tan, but we use forward energy, not (contd)

(part II)

turning off the centerline. The attacks tend to be explosive but always controlling the turning on and off of the energy. Personally I don't feel lazy however, relaxing through the process helps to develop it well.

Even the basic punch needs one to observe many principles at once. The initial alignment of the fist and knuckles relaxed, shoulder lowered, arms & upper body are an expanded "ring", arm comes forward like a piston, expression of power at the end with fist/knuckle (contd)

[heartslord]

(part 3)

rotation, elbow in, movement of energy through the waist like a lazy susan and yet so refined as to make no noticable movement, the entire alignment of the horse "assembly" with all it's counterforces. Simultaneous yet independent use of the other arm/hand, complete sensitivity and total awareness through the arms and hands of the opponents every possibility, use of chi gurk with the legs, etc., all at one time.

As we practice we remove ignorance one awareness at a time. Easy yes?

It seems like you almost understand the physics of this, and most of your techniques, but you probably haven't tried to apply them yet, going fast and hard. If someone is actually lopping your bong, its near impossible to step straight into them unless their lop is weak. You have to step at an angle with their pulling arm.

[heartslord]

I appreciate your interest in Ving Tsun. It is true I've been playing VT since literally before you were born. Your question is insightful and the answer is that the lop sau exercise teaches us to convert immediately to a bong when a lop is attempted.

If someone were to effectively grab you, their hand would also be unavailable. One only sidesteps when a situation calls for it. It could.. Be not necessarily. I've been in real combat many times in the ring and on the strret so rest easy. thx

Ving Tsun Physics videos explain Ving tsun (Wing Chun) correct and show the importance of technique.

Thank you!

nice vid, Tom. Keep 'em coming!

[heartslord]

I just enabled the annotations that were not showing. Just a few notes but they do help the vid.

Learning a lot from the last four clips you put up. From the Pal Jong and Over rolling, I saw some of the mistakes I learned from other WT teachers I had. Thanks sifu, see you soon.
