light wing chun sparring

UPDATED DESCRIPTION:

it seems that this video is causing some confusion for people who are expecting to see a stationary wing chun chi sao exercise. what you see is some light "free sparring" wherein I (shaved head) bounce around, throw roundhouse kicks, and do lots of not-wing-chun things. this is because i have a kickboxing background and am deliberately throwing some attacks which are not normally utilized in wing chun. in class, we call this "feeding" and it is intended to give the recipient an opportunity to practice against something that isn't wing chun.

i also deliberately use evasive footwork, almost always retreating from my partner to stay outside his wing chun range. this too is an exercise.

so, when you watch, please bear in mind that this is not chi sao, competitive fighting, or a wing chun demonstration.

the guy with the black hair seems abit lazy to block anything

[chronocide]

well, most of the kicks i throw here are just exploratory and too light to do anything. i'm trying to find the holes in his defenses by testing his reflexes.

for example, the first two kicks in the video have no speed or power and would do nothing if they hit. but they tell me if he drops his hands against low kicks, which he didnt do.

one question fam no offense but y dont you guys train with out pads n gloves?

[chronocide]

we train with gloves, mouthguards, shinpads, etc so that we dont injure eachother. this is training, not fighting.

why use the back leg to "kick"??? if thats a kick or if its a block to block..????

[chronocide]

it depends what you're trying to do. for kicking or blocking, the back leg would be used if you want to step forward and switch lead leg as you deliver the kick. as in walking, you lift your back leg and make it your lead leg to move forward.

you can also use an advancing step where you do not alternate lead leg, but that does not work as well with kicks or leg blocks because your foot isnt off the ground as high or as long. if stability is desired, this is an advantage.

it's up to you.

Too many people think Wing Chun sparring is that chi sao thing that never happens in real life... Wing Chun sparring is a total fighting concept like what you are doing in the vid, well done! :) I posted a vid of my wing chun sparring when I first started Wing Chun.
