Well how would you defend a looping punch or a hook punch if you cannot move your tan sau out to the side?

[chinaboxer]

your tan should attack his "structure" which means attacking his "shoulder line" and not chase his hand, at the same time your other hand should be striking your opponents centerline. hope that makes sense. peace!

[leahdizon810]

does tan sao have to stay in the middle when you stretch it ? how bend does it have to be ? and how long ?

[chinaboxer]

tan sau should follow as close to your centerline as possible, it should not extend all the way out. the bend in the arm will vary, but roughly 1 1/2 fists distance between your elbow and chest is as far as you want to go out.

I'm relativly new to W.C. and I've only just discovered Chinaboxer. Just a quick comment to complement you on your teaching style, some great analogies that stick in the mind are a great aid to understanding rather than just memorising. It's like having a private lesson, keep it coming teach'.

[chinaboxer]

thank you for the nice comment. peace!

all the other wing chun vids out there show u the move but never explain it u actually explain things thank you so much lol. im taking notes

[DaveTehSinner]

what is the best way to practice wing chun? i don't go training class anymore cuz its too far, at bad times etc etc. how would i be able to practice? i've just hit green sash but considering how long i haven't practiced probably yellow lol

[jhaer27]

@chinaboxer can i use pak sau to defend it or should i step back to move away from its range so i can also protect my center line?

[MrGremlin777]

I love the way you explain the techniques. thanks.

[solgoode1]

dang.. this guy is good. thanks for upload.

[devonriley415]

cool techniques, very different than what im used to. wing chun is so interesting....but i do the "practical" stuff--karate and muay tai. once i becaome a good karate student maybe i switch muay tai to wing chun? i havent decided yet. probably tho.

[wingchun123able]

hey i was wondering in my lineage they make us practice static tan sao which in my opinion is a great exercise helping you engage the correct muscles but my problem is that i cant deactivate my chest muscle its right where the pectoral meets the shoulder. they say i should just keep practicing it and eventually it will melt away but im worried that its actually working it out and im having trouble actually relaxing that certain part of my muscle do u have any helpful ideas that i could use?
