0:38 Our favorite teacher starts with THE GUM SAO, and shows us we should be turning in with it. 1:27 he then goes on to tell us about how narrow thinking and rigid structures cheat us. 💯3:40 on a GUM SAO as we press, we shift INWARD just enough. Not too much. Just enough to get that reverse energy shifting back n forth. We move with GUM, and now the other side is loaded. Plus we move our vital center away from his attack. Smart, don’t cheat yourself above all. Don’t except cheap in fighting either. Let them show you what they bring. No fixed ideas. ☺️🙏💯another awesome lesson.
I had missed the first few seconds. He’s showing how when you press down on an arm/hand, he has a fulcrum that can bend up and around. He can go underneath. We give him options by using gum sao wrong. Ahhhh. I understand now. The second motion, he collects two hands with his one. After GUM, when the guy hits back hand, a BONG and TAN fixes it. Ahhh. ☺️🙏💯
I really like your honesty Gary Lam sifu. My past wing chun lineages were always shrouded in b.s. using smoke and mirrors "secret techniques here" "deadly techniques" there it was a total waste of my time and money. So I've mentioned coming to L.A. to visit your school. Would it be possible to come join a weekend class session? If so how much would it cost? I really would like to start training again, it's been like 5 years since I've been to a martial arts school that held my attention. And I really like wing chun as I'm coming to appreciate the reality of the WSL lineage. You and David Peterson are definitely ones that I always research.
@@GaryLamWingChunKungFu yes sir. That's why I would like to experience your school and teachings in person, with your permission of course. I missed your last seminar and I know I would probably make annual visits if was able to make just one. There are more mma schools in Kansas than good kung fu/ wing chun schools and I don't want to just join mma when I know wing chun is where I want to be. Not knocking any mma school it's just not my thing at 50 years old.
Another great share - can't wait for the seminar in August - thank you for sharing your experience
Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you in August.
Another great lesson.
Thank you. And thanks for watching.

A very well stated analysis. FYI, the first movement was a gum sau, not a pak sau. Thanks for watching. I always appreciate your thoughts.
@@GaryLamWingChunKungFu ok. Got cha. Key distinction. 🙏
Thanks for the gum Sau and the position. Thanks

You're very observant. Glad you liked the video.

Yeah, there's a lot of snake oil salesmen out there who take advantage of people.
