- Sifu John Kaufman with his son, Ben, discussing and demonstrating "transmission of energy". Sifu Kaufman teaches an internal form of Wing Chun kung fu based on the methods of Chu Shong Tin. His school is in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Sifu Kaufman can be contacted at: john.kaufman21@gmail.com, or at: (852) 5483 7826. Website: internalwingchun.com.
The incredible power of accepting where you are in the universe. . . amazing.
Thank you for posting. Your generosity is a form of energy release. Relax. Open the Heart. Sneeze love!
Well put good authentic information right here I like it another rare Sifu from the late sigung Tsui Sheung Tin tree line awesome ..
Thanks John 🙏. The legacy of my grandmaster lives on through the incredible skills of teachers like yourself and many many others. Keep it up man
I have been practicing Aikido for 28 years. Your Wing Chun - that is chi-inner energy is genuine and a high standard. A real martial arts student always practices stance and relaxation. People don't rate wing chun. I'm sure a real wing chun practitioner like you will kick some serious butt. All the best!!
Chris Lee I'd say that many Wing Chun schools do not actually understand the internal aspects of Wing Chun.
They may talk the talk but not actually walk the talk.

Agreed. Many schools don't discuss the internal aspects of wing chun.
This is wonderful. Thanks John once again. What a great resource.
Thank you John amazing explanation once again :) I can really feel your care and love for Wing Chun.
This is so wonderful. What a great resource.
Great explanation by a generous teacher. Thank you!
Wonderful clarity and explanations Sifu Kaufman and the statement, ”Be Content to stay/be where you are “, has hit the nail on the head for me🌻. Do you have the traditional Chinese characters for this by any chance? The characters I found are 滿足於保持原地.
If you think about how small IP Man was and how big his first student, Leung Sheung, who was, himself a renown martial artist, he had to have more than physical prowess to become as successful as he was, especially in those times, when you had to let your "hands" talk, this makes sense.

as mentioned in the video...it is difficult to describe... Terms used have to be discussed in depth to understand the meaning of each word uttered by the speaker...herein lies the trouble in many cases. What means 'relax'? What is 'force'? ...I find the language could be more adequate and less esoteric in some instances....but there is no doubt ....some different kind of work has been done here and elaborated on by Mr. Kaufman - with results that go beyond mainstream.
I've watched this so many times, and still don't get it, but it's awesome! Wish I could meet you, but I'm in Tennessee. Not Hong Kong, or wherever you are lol.
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.
very nice explanation many thanks :)
He shows the real Wing Chun.
That's easy to develop, it is part of the Siu Lim Tao, when trained properly... And to achieve that sort of transmission is not possible without movement, so therefore the distinction between "outer" and "inner" or "mechanical" and "mental" does not exist, even when the outer movement is as small as possible. But someone has to train the Forms for a precise coordination of that. Otherwise the "internal stuff" leads to mystification of "Energy", but it is just kinetic energy... In Sports science there ist a distinction between "intermuscular coordination" and "intermuscular coordination". So that sort of transmission of energy is "intermuscular coordination" of fast speed muscle fibres. The quality of that grows with the amount of time invested in training that fast-twitch. So: when that concept is not known, the "external guys" won't come to the point, whereas the "internal guys" tend to overemphazise the "mind" and the "Yi" and forget the "hard work" and won't come to the point also.
Good stuff 👏 👍🏾
Hi John, I have really been enjoying your videos and have learned a lot. Thank you for taking the time to post them!
My best friend stays in Atlanta GA and I wanted to ask you, if you know of anyone in that area who understands internal concepts like you do?
Hope you are doing well
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.
Point of contact kinetic energy transfer POCKET?
This is fantastic sifu. I truly desire to develop structure, timing and power that doesn't require my muscles or momentum.
Is it safe to assume, that when doing my siu nim Tao. I should keep these things in mind.
1.)Relaxation =let my body sink like I'm melting, settle into my position.
2.)Mind intent. Is it kinda like my mind creating the image, as my body simultaneously does it?
3.)Turning the light switch on in from my energy being totally focused on that individual?
Thanks in advance. Anyone else you know that embodies this form of teaching?
This is the most thorough explanation of rebound energy I have seen.
I would say, "yes". Raise up through the spine, settle all muscles down, expand from within and use idea to move from the spine/center.
John Kaufman what I have a hard time understanding is "using the idea from within".what did you feel when you started to be able to do this?
Felice Mathieu "Use idea to move" is more about sensing power rather than trying to create it physically. It is difficult to explain. When you are sufficiently relaxed/settled/open, you just "think" move (but do not turn the process into a physical effort; no muscle tension), and with some practice you will start to feel movement inside you. You allow this internal movement to move you externally. Hope this helps. If you have other questions...contact me by email: john.kaufman21@gmail.com.
Yes people cannot see it. U have to feel it.
I very much like what you are doing. Do you sell any training videos, out side what we can see on You tube? I would like to know more... 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.
Is it fascia manipulation
As I understand, when you go "zzzt", you don't point just anywhere on his body, you specifically point to his center of mass. Is this correct? What I see physically is that your hand moves a bit down toward his center of mass, and his center of mass is what moves first when he starts to shake.
This is a very good question/point Nick. The pointing is an indication of the mind's focus. So, yes, the mind's focus is on the center/spine. And, yes, there is movement of the hand. So I guess you could say this is an example of small or perhaps efficient mechanical movement. The way I think of it is that it efficiently combines the Yi, Chi, and Lik. The mind's intent, the energy, and the muscle moves as one. This is what must happen for internal methods to work. So there is a transmission of energy directly to the center (or wherever the mind directs it). The person (Ben in this case) does not feel that there is a pushing through to his center, but that it is affected directly...like he is 'shocked".
John Kaufman
Thank you for the clarification. Keep making videos, as it is rare to see the internal aspects explained. Not that it is possible to learn this without proper personal intruction, imho.
Great stuff!
Was this used by Ng Mui and Yim Wing Chun?
Yep
Nice
