You're welcome Dustin.

Thank you.

Hi Curtis...I have no other videos other than those on RUclips. However, feel free to video Whatsapp or Facebook message me. My whatsapp is 852 5483 7826. Also, you are always welcome to come train in Hong Kong.

@@johnkwc Thank you for the offer. But I honestly don't see myself going to Hong Kong. But having an open dialog with you would be nice. I've seen a number of your You-Tube videos today. I can honestly say, I am impressed with what I see.(and hear). Question? are you roiling your hips up and forward in this video? it looks natural, but something is different in your base, that I just cant see. ;-) Thank you for your reply. Have a great day. C.A.G.

@@curtisgeorge5280 Not rolling the hips. Just maintaining a connection between the head and feet and moving as one unit.

Thank you. It would be good to see you again.

It is not a "floppy" relaxation. It is a complete release/opening ("sung") of all body parts and muscles, then the internal expanding occurs in all directions simultaneously so, in that condition, when you move your center, power is expressed as the body's weight is involved an any/all movement.

No, it's to do with connecting the whole body and moving the center of mass.

Yes, you can cultivate these principles by standing practice as well as other methods. There are many boats to cross the river.

@@johnkwc - I've heard from the mindful wing chun side that the "snake engine" is sort of different from the power that tai chi generates. I'd love to hear you speak on this topic if you ever want to make some videos just talking about your experiences and perspective

Thank you Jesus. I miss our time together in New York in the past, and hope you and your wife are well. Feel free to get in touch on Facetime or whatsapp.

Thank you for your kind words and appreciation. I am very pleased if you found any of this helpful.

Yes, I'm still alive as far as I know! I go back to Hong Kong where I hae been living and teaching wing chun for the past 12 years. Come train in Hong Kong. Anyone can reach me by email: john.kaufman21@gmail.com.

Hi Kyle...great to hear from you! I'll be in NYC until Sunday, Sept. 30.

Hahaha...thanks Damian!

Yes.

@@johnkwc love your stuff. Thank you 🙏

You're welcome.

You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.

nemesis9022...I'll do the best I can to explain this. My understanding and thoughts about what is actually occuring here has evolved since I made this video years ago. My current thoughts are that what is actually happening here is once the body is connected (one part moves, all parts move) even a very small motion can disrupt the structure of the opponent. The talk about it coming from the head (back of the brain) is simply to not concentrate on any one body part's motion (e.g. the hand), but to allow the body to remain whole so that the weight of the entire body (even in a small motion) is involved. When done at speed, the disruption effect (what in the video I called, "transmission of eneergy") is greater. Hope this helps.

@@johnkwc thanks for the response, and yes that does help. There is a Chu Shong Tin lineage school in my area taught by Sifu Trevor Young. Just trying to save the money up to go there. Good wing Chun, and cheers.

Thank you Joe. It would be my pleasure to meet you. You are always welcome to come train with me in Hong Kong. Also, I sometimes come to New York City to teach wing chun. If you email me at john.kaufman21@gmail.com I will notify you the next time I come to the U.S.

@@johnkwc I'm in British Columbia Canada...Hong Kong is closer than New York. I live up in the mountains, been practicing for many years but have lots to learn. If nothing else, maybe we could meet for a zoom call sometime.

@@JoeyOnly OK...cool. We can Facetime if you like.

@@johnkwc I'll send you an e-mail, let's make an interview video if you are into it, I'd love to hear history on Chu Shon Tin and things like that as well. My interests go beyond hand techniques haha. When my kids are a little older I will bring them to Hong Kong for a WC pilgrimage, it's a life goal. Besides meeting people like you, I need to go to the Athletic Association and see where my first sifu's gung fu came from.

@@JoeyOnly ...OK...send me an email when you want and we can do an interview. Who was your first sifu?

Hi Edro...thanks for getting in touch. I'm still living in Hong Kong teaching wing chun.

Hi Sascha....thank you for your comment. I'm sorry, I do not know anyone in Atlanta. There may be someone, I just don't know.

@@johnkwc Thank you for your reply John, I will keep searching. Might I ask where you reside / teach at the moment? I would love to visit and train with you at some point. I am studying gunsmithing in Austria at the moment and my life has been heavily focused on that for the past 3 years...and I have one more year left. But once I am done, I would love to focus more on martial arts again. I met some of Adam Mizners students in London 3 years ago, as they worked on my spine. My little sister actually dated his brother for a few years and I also would like to train more Tai Chi with them... However I realized what you are describing comes more naturally to me. Im not exactly sure if I am doing the "cst method" correctly...but I am doing ..something to generate power. My background was initially San Shou / Wushu and thats also how my back was injured. I show your videos to everyone interested in martial arts here :)

@@saschamarr495 ...I have been living and teaching wing chun in Hong Kong for the past ten years. My direct email address is: john.kaufman21@gmail.com. You are always welcome to come train with me in Hong Kong. Pre-Covid I would go to London and New York City once a year to teach. I expect to return to London and New York once travel/quarantine restrictions are no longer in effect. If you email me, I will let you know the next time I travel to teach. If you want, you can Facetime me on Facebook and we can talk. You can also check out my Facebook Group..."Wing Chun Hong Kong School". There are a number of videos and postings there related to Chu Shong Tin wing chun.

I have been doing wing chun since 1977. My first sifu in the Moy Yat lineage in NYC was Lee Moy Shan (Douglas Lee). I then trained in Boston under Henry Mui (Guo Lo/pin sien) wing chun. Later, I trained in the Ip Ching lineage. Starting in 1998 I began training and teaching in the Chu Shong Tin lineage. I started going to Hong Kong in 1999 to train at Chu Shong Tin's school, and moved to Hong Kong permanently ten years ago where I teach in the CST lineage. My main teacher in our lineage has been Ma Kee Fai (a senior disciple of CST).

@@johnkwc thanks John. I am familiar with Moy Yat. Your path has been similar to my little wing Chun cousin , Nima Kung. You’re so fortunate to have spent that time training with him. My numerous times with CST up until 96 and then on his latter visits to Australia were invaluable. Nice to know you. Keep passing it on. We must keep this heritage alive for future Wing Chun practitioners. Thanks 🙏 . You’re knowledge is truly amazing 😉
