You attack from your center line ... wether your infront or at the side of the opponent ... you don't attack the opponents strongest point if you can help it "their center line"

[sifupr]

@LondonGabbaSquat That depends on what Wing Chun lineage you study.

@sifupr

Well generaly the rule to wing chun is don't attack the opponents strongest point. Fight force with re-direction not force.

[sifupr]

@LondonGabbaSquat Exactly. . .

@sifupr

The way I see it is ...

If an opponent is using alot of forward force against you ... the only way of redirecting there force without having to use too much force re-directing it, is by side stepping.

if you try and move them off course whilst staying put they'll most likely plow into you!

[sifupr]

@LondonGabbaSquat That's exactly what my Sifu is saying. You must keep moving.

@rpierini I'm not sure how long you've done WC or how many WC Sifus you've studied with. But over the last 40 years I've studied with 4 direct student of Yip Man. I also have a clip if Sifu Chan Chee Man showing how Yip Man taught him to "take one side". We compete at our school and win. Do you fight or compete. Also to say real WC shows something about your character.

Regards,

Sifu Phillip Redmond @wingchunkwoon

No offense, but...this is the first time I've seen W.Cheung with a mustache and he just looks like a wing chun nazi! Lol....XD

@LondonGabbaSquat yea yea everyone knows you're just a nerd "london gabbashit"

@LondonGabbaSquat The way I always start training basic self defense to any student is test their former knowledge. Everyone without fail ends up against a wall or cornered.  You are right. The way I explain this to them is," if a car is driving towards you, do you try and stop it? Do you step back? No, you move to the side. :)" Best defense is avoidence, you don't have to block an attack that isn't coming towards you. :)

the more you understand about martial art and wing chun... the more you will know that it is the "center gravity" and less about the centerline. centerlines are when your opponent is amateur and aren't too mobile. If they move around... focus on the center of gravity instead.
