A few years ago I had the honor of touching hands with Chu Shong Tin; he put me on my ass before I'd even registered that his hand had moved. It was a damn near religious experience.

Now this man is a true master, he is without doubt the highest authority in WC left...he not only learned directly from Yip Man but he paid his dues in learning over a long period of time. I say this even though I am not from his lineage. There are too many WC masters that only learned for 2- 3 years then started teaching claiming mastery. This man spent decades learning and spent his lifetime practicing. Truly an inspiration.

@insectmessiah that is hilarious

Tsui Sheung tin is the one and only wing chun legendary left behind these days regardless the rest who are called grandmasters. The fact of matter is that there was only one grandmaster Yip Man who passed away in 1972 and "grandmaster" in chinese as "chung-sze" which means the highest rank in certain style or system.

I think his question is rather about how to NOT strain your muscles since it seems to be the core of siu lim tao, relaxing and still applying force to the other person. I also don't understand how to do it haha

@Scythehalotrial practice, practice, practice. The most important thing is to not stop just because your shoulders are sore. Very important. If your partner refuses to continue, find another!! Also, I have found kundalini yoga very beneficial for increasing shoulder stamina and relaxation abilities, but this is personal for me.

In my own experience, I have found the best training occurs when soreness sets in. I finally become relaxed, due to most of my strength having been drained away!

Pretty much any Art can use the Mook Jong, Wing Chun / ving Tsun are the most known....though Choy Lay Fut also makes use of the Jong. I have a background in both, But I use it with Kenpo, sometimes shotokan or tae kwon do. The Jong can be built into the practice of which ever style you study, it is not system specific.

I've know tai chi stylists and Mauy Thia guys who use the jong.... the options are somewhat limitless.

Can somebody tell me what martial arts uses the mook jong? I would like to practice with one but have no idea what form of martial arts to take in order to be able to do so

[Scythehalotrial]

Relaxed but still apply a lot of force...how?! when I chi sao with fellow students our shoulders are sour withing minutes....i just can't relax my shoulders or something >_> anyone who is able to do so and wants to give some hints?

Just noticed this but he has an amazing posture

One of the greats. There's a few WC guys out there who's credentials and skills are indisputable. Chu Shong Tin is one of them.
