I am using footwork in the drill…

Hahaha so true Gereg Jones Muller

Thanks Paul.

He didn’t need to in that bout, as attack is better than chasing the opponents blade.

@@Suilimtao I sure for scoring a point but if I had the ability to control my opponents blade that's the first thing I would do , because it reduces or eliminates after blows

I have lost a lot weight since this video was made…

The vast majority of of the techniques when using the knifes, are a extension of the empty hand side of the WCK system. The knifes like the rest of the art is for close quarter combat. We are developing the WCK knife for full contact safe sparring as HEMA do.

Both are using Miao Dao...

They chose to light spar after a class, I saw what they were doing & recorded a little. Ps check out part 2 to this vid...

Thanks, this is why we share in what we do.

I kinda agree with what you said, but maybe your not aware of the context of this footage. This vid is from a Open Lineage Chi Sao Gathering where Chunners from different lineages/levels/schools/ association get together for chi sao...

@@Suilimtao Yep I got that..thanks!

Thanks...Wing Chun kung fu’s original wooden dummy...

Thanks

Not your "Proudest Moment", but you saved yourself. It was clear he did not want any more of that.

Thanks

Hmm, first of all they are both equals in time training...it’s a little footage from one of our monthly free sparring classes.. Lastly Western feudal Weaponry isn’t superior to eastern, as always it’s down to the practitioners...so your article is biased & flawed...

He froze (it happens) & the other fully used his advantage...

He needs to adapt & deal with what’s happening...ps all part of the learning curve...

@@Suilimtao Basics are basics. I'm by far an expert, but seems like there is a lot of footwork that just isn't there.

They sparring on a loop of reset, the idea behind the exercise is to adapt using unfamiliar weapons...sometimes attack is the best defence

@@Suilimtao Dying to kill your opponent is no defence at all.

He wasn’t allowed to use his point, as he was closed down very quickly

Thanks.

It’s not a knife fight to the death lol, rather it’s 2 different advance level martial artist, from very different art forms. Having a friendly exchange using weapons (modern military knives) that they are not familiar with...did you not read the description.

@@Suilimtao And that's the difference between traditional Chinese martial arts and the stuff that works. My WC instructor ditches a lot of the nonsense for tried and true WC fighting. What you two are doing is learning and reinforcing habits that may get you killed.

I am a glass half full kinda guy, if you don’t pressure test, you don’t know how you will preform if it ever gets real.

Hi

You welcome to visit if you back in the neighbourhood

Perfect form goes out the window when free sparring with a non compliant training partner. That is the factor we are testing here.

Err maybe for you & your teachers teaching syllabus, but that’s not the case with other Wing Chun schools. Example: GM Ip Man taught the BCD to a few of his select WCK students after 7+ years of training...

Yea, I dont know any teacher that does this. There is no reason to wait that long. You can build the fountain you need for BCD in shorter time. I could understand 2 or 3 years maybe...but 25..what's the point? Do you really think, back in the day when learning weapons was for self protection they waited 25 years? Even if you started at learning Wing Chun at 15 years old, you'd be 40 by the time you are taught Butterfly knives! That's not even accounting for the time it then takes to actually achieve skill with the weapon! Thatd be pointless and a waste of time.

One of the reasons for Wing Chuns simplicity is to train people quickly.

25 years.. and that's not how you overthrow the Manchus

It’s about 2 metres in across & down

Thanks.

365WingChun KungFu: Hi Jong is representative training equipment, i am catching the tip of the Jong arm both underneath & on the inside.

Suilimtao hmm. When slowed down. It looks like you are catching the tip of the Jong arm. So I was wondering why? Maybe it’s a trick of the camera view?

Thanks 😊

Wing Chun is predominantly a primary strike system, which is portrayed in the drill.

Thanks, & I so know what you mean.

Hi VTSifuSteve, I kinda of agree with you, but at the time this vid was made, this was one of very 1st attempts at free sparring with Butterfly Knives. Guy in black was one of my senior students having a go with a teacher (in red) of swordcraft. It was his suggestion to spar this way, under his guidance.

@@Suilimtao Yeah, I get that, ...and you guys seem to be holding back and using control. Maybe I'm just an old "mother hen" about weapons sparring. Hope you keep on posting clips...

adam davids: thanks 😊

Full cuts are easy to pull of in free sparring. Demo’s are very different.

The Chinese Miao Dao is based on the Japanese sword, but is larger in size.

@@Suilimtao . I heard Miao Dao is the nemesis of Japanese Katana. Is it true?!!!

@@mahidulhasanasad2316 It was kind of invented by a General for countering japanese pirate invaders, so it kind of is. Ronin/pirates used to wield katanas and this general just borrowed their techniques and weapon design and made this new weapon which later on developed his own style. It was so effective that he just trained the paesants of the area so they could counter the pirates themselves (also because he didn't want to move the armies on the north that were dealing with invasions at the time). Some techniques suggest that they have also used them agains multiple katana wielding opponents if I'm not wrong. I saw some masters use it as an oversized katana as well.

It was a park in Stevenage, Hertfordshire UK

You got to understand that It’s a cultural thing, the Chinese called anything with a single edge a Dao (knife) or double edge a Jian (sword). So as in the Chinese tradition, we follow that, but in reality Wing Chun’s knives are really a pair of short swords,

@@Suilimtao You are right. Some revolutionnary chinese used it in 19th century. But their winchun was not the modern winchun that you learn. Winchun was in built. Today, the sets are different. Modern wingchun (Ip Man, Yuen Kay Shan, Pan Nam, Gulao, Ban or Cho family) is devasting if you think you have a little blade hidden your hand. The big knives butterflies are made to train. If you want to defend yourself or attack somebody in a little street or in a little shop or in a little corridor, pocket knives are the best.

This is light sparring so very different to actual fighting...rather a bridge to fighting. We train with real butterflies knives, but don’t spar with them, as they can still break bones when used at speed in sparring.

@@Suilimtao Yes, baat zaam dou break bones. But when you play or spar lightly, you have to respect the basic of fight! Don't stay on the attack line. And don't think you have a plastic knives.

I ment it like you showed it in the last free fight video. haha, fail^^ In future I will check the Channel bevor I write ;)

Thanks man :-)

Hazza Hazza, blue T-shirt is Ip Chun Line & Black T-shirt is mix of William Cheung & Victor Kan Lines...

@@Suilimtao Ok thanks, Black t shirt looks more a like mix of total confusion, nothing like GMWC line or Victor Kan or anything in-between .Any idea what club is mr Confused guy is from?

Blue shirt is a senior student of mine. Black shirt is Sifu in his own right, a really nice guy, has no ego always looking to learn, he has attend a couple of our Chi Sao Gatherings. He’s not use to our ways, he will adapt in due course, ‘tis the Wing chun way... Ps kudos for him attending, & testing his Wing Chun like so not many Sifu’s would do that...

He is using a side sword, not a long sword...
