 Welcome to the Wing Chun King channel where martial arts is the way of life. Today I'm going to share with you the Wing Chun Kun Kut in Cantonese. What that means is the Wing Chun Manifest or the Wing Chun Core Concepts. So if you're studying Wing Chun Kung Fu, you need to know these core concepts that have been passed down through history, through many generations of Wing Chun Sifus. And these will combine a lot of the fundamentals of Wing Chun that you need to know in order to practice and execute the Kung Fu in the right way. So I'm going to explain to you six of them. There's a lot more, but here's six of the Wing Chun Kun Kut Manifest right now. The first one is Yao Sao, Qi Sao, Mo Sao, Man Sao. Isn't it cool? It rhymes. So the reason they make it rhyme is so that it can be remembered easily, like a poem. And I hope I pronounced Cantonese properly. My Cantonese is so-so, so bear with me. So what this means is if you have the hand, stick the hand. If there's no hand, ask for the hand. So in practical use is if you have contact with the other person's limbs or hands in this case, you're going to stick to them and keep sticking to them so that you have control of those hands. If you don't have contact with their hands, you ask for them, which is the Man Sao position in Wing Chun Man Sao, which means you're asking for the hand. It's like a caterpillar. They don't have eyes, right? So how do they see? They have to feel with their tentacles or their antennas. So this is your antenna and you're asking for the hand. Your concept is to use this antenna and to get contact with the other person's hand as soon as possible so that you can start sticking to the hand. So that's the first thing and first concept in Wing Chun is if you have contact, stick to them. If you don't have contact, ask for the contact or find the contact or ask for them so that they'll give it to you. All right, so that's the first thing. Here's the second thing. The rhymes, isn't that cool? So what this means is if somebody's coming to stay, you're going to send them away or escort them away. If they lose contact, you're going to charge straight in. So how does this work in finding? If somebody's going to come into your zone, into your range, you're going to greet it and then send them away. So it works more in a kind of a Tai Chi way too because when the energy comes, you're going to greet the energy, suck in the energy and then bounce it back to them. So that's what it means. Okay? Or you can basically if somebody's coming to attack you, you send them back with a counter. So that's lai lao hui seng. Let's go jik chong. So if they are losing contact, then you're going to go straight in and charge in. So when there's an opportunity for you to charge in to the centerline, then you're going to take that opportunity and charge in. So jik chong, straight charge. That's what it means. So that's the second thing. Let's move on to the third one. Here's the third core concept of Wing Chun, very important. And actually it's a core concept of many martial arts too. Here it says loi liek, se liek, jie liek, chut kik. It rhymes again. It sounds so cool. All right. So loi liek means incoming energy or incoming force, se liek, redirect the energy, jie liek, borrow the energy, chut kik, which means to open up attack or start attack or start some kind of attack. So if there's incoming energy, you're going to redirect the energy. You're going to borrow their energy. Somebody's giving you energy, you're going to borrow that, use their energy to attack them. So this is not just exclusive to Wing Chun. A lot of martial arts uses this and this is actually the concept behind pretty much all martial arts, right? So this is a really good one. I like it loi liek, se liek, and then jie liek, chut kik. Okay? So that's the third one. Here's the fourth saying it says pa daa chong guai daa, tam daa chong bei daa. Now this is very important in all martial arts, not just Wing Chun. It says if you're afraid of getting hit, eventually you're going to get countered. If you are too greedy and to hit somebody, then you're going to get hit or you're going to be a target. It's going to bounce back to you. So this is talking about your mindset. Don't be too fearful and don't be too greedy. Okay? Have a centered mindset so that you don't get countered and you don't become the target. You don't fall into somebody's trap. Okay? So once again, it is pa daa. If you're afraid of getting hit, chong guai daa, eventually you're going to get hit or get countered. Tam daa, which means if you're greedy to hit, then chong bei daa, eventually you're going to be the one that gets hit. All right? So that's the fourth one. Very useful. Just keep that in mind. Hey, here's the fifth saying or core concept of Wing Chun which is more Wing Chun than most martial arts. It says, So what it means is you want to continue to stick to your opponent to force him with your techniques. And it says, which means never, never or absolutely not let go or absolutely not collapse your structure. So very important core concept in Wing Chun because we rely a lot on sticking hands. We rely a lot on the sticking, which means limb to stick to be, to keep contact with the opponent. So limb, which means continue with sticking consecutively or just keep sticking to the person to pick kong, which means to force your technique or force them to do something. Okay? So you're putting them into a position where they are on a defensive with your sticking technique. Then it says, never lose contact basically or never collapse your structure. So which is important because when you're doing the qi cell, if you collapse your structure, then it opens you for attack. Okay? So never, never do that. So this is a very important core concept in Wing Chun and I hope you like it. Here's the sixth saying or core concept in Wing Chun. It says, This is one of the ones that don't rhyme but it's very important. It says, your strikes comes from the hearts. Okay? And that can be interpreted a couple of ways. So it can be interpreted as your strikes come from the center line where your heart is. It comes out from the center. Another way to interpret it is to saying that your strikes come from your heart, which means your intention, which is internal and coming from your energy as heart represents your energy, represents your soul, represents your spirit and your mind. So you can interpret that way and say that your strikes come from your spirit or your strikes come from your internal energy. Okay? That's one way to interpret it too. And it says here Ging Fa Mo Ying. Ging is force or energy or some kind of like the release or explosion of energy is called Ging. So when Ging, when you're releasing this energy, when you're attacking Mo Ying, which means invisible or there's no form. So this is the core concept behind the one inch punch or the no inch or the no distance striking is that if you can master, this part could have some fun. If you can master the concept of using your internal energy to launch your attacks, then your force will have no movement or will have no shadow or will have no, no form and will be invisible. So that's the core concept between the no inch, I mean the no distance punching and the one inch punch or very close distance punching is based on this very, very important concept. Okay? So that's the sixth one. Really cool concept. These are the six things. There's actually more, but these are the ones I like best and the rhyme, most of them. And these are the six things that become the foundation of Wing Chun concepts. Some of them can be applied to the other martial arts. And guess what? A lot of these concepts can be applied to everyday life too. But how do you deal with your problems? How do you deal with your obstacles and any issues that you deal with for life? A lot of these concepts are usable and applicable to any kind of life situation. That's why in this channel, martial arts is the way of life. So I hope that you enjoyed this video.
