2:22 my cousin Danny Lauzon got his arm broken trying to block a roundhouse kick with his arms like you’re doing here. A front left kick on a right roundhouse works perfectly.
"There's no grappling defense in Wing Chun!" (Adam Chan destroys that BS statement in the first 3 seconds of this video). Outstanding.
Although previously a Kung Fu and Wing Chun guy and now a 3rd degree BJJ black belt, I really like the energy you have with your stufents.Light and not serious and always smiling.keep up the good energy
i have watched an enormous amount of fighting instuctional video's for the past 15 years because i love learning and practicing the theory and i honestly have to say that you are by far the best content creator i have seen in that time, maybe your content just clicks because i am pragmatic person aswell but your style of explaining things in a humorous and simple way is something that i hope will get you very far on youtube.
Please keep up the good work man.
Do not read his menu; eat his food.
Sifu, nice video. I appreciate how you're gentle with your students making them aware of how easy it can be to do ligament tears upon take down. What many people don't understand as well that you demonstrate is relaxing your tan sao hand to take the brunt of the kick. You also demonstrate relaxing your body and shoulder to take the brunt of a kick rather than stiffen up. I also like how you show that if you intentionally miss the tan sao block, you are stepping in and blocking with a pak sao hand for the catch. Your footwork is subtle and nice.
What a gift! To be able to teach. I don't stop enjoying the videos he produces. My new favorites are one's that can be practiced at home with alone as I live in a part of the country where the ability to practice with others is not practical.
Thank you So much Adam!
Love the crowd, very positive feeling environment. Its all about learning and improving, no ego. 👍 I appreciate the safety guides too. Thats kinda forgotten in a vt class where sifus just wanna show off
I love how everyone has a BIG SMILE - there's a lot to be said from that. Subscribing for that alone
You are awesome🥊🥊💪💪👊👊🥋🥋
Every move you teach... is great lessons 👍🏽
I tried this one with friend they doin kick-boxing in a 70% of a real fight. 🇨🇾🙏🏽🐺
Can't wait to get up there and take some classes
Those are good techniques. I do understand the concept of being flexible and soft through my experience using Wing Chun. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful technique, I really like your wing chun, very grounded and practical.
Awesome!
Just found your channel new subscriber. Excellent content. I have always felt that most wing chun instruction was missing was why it would not work. I have tried what you suggest, there is really something there!
Depending on who doing the kicking and how hard it is. Some people's kicks can bend an iron bar. You need to move away from it.
True. How often will you encounter someone with that level of ability? My point: Wing Chun is a close range art. At some point, you will have to adjust and close the distance. Otherwise, the opponent will have the advantage, especially if they have power and speed.
Good video
Nice sir
Awesome
Nice !!!
Good timing and you have trained for a long time. Personally I prefer the "kwun Sao" for high round house counters. You can pair it with an easy side kick.
Adam, thank you for sharing these videos, much appreciated. Do you or your classes spend any time practicing techniques on a wooden dummy?
I have learnt the history of wing chun and learnt from interviews I seen by Ip man's sons that wing can truly work in this day and age, I have tried to find videos on the internet of people using wing chun effectively but most of the videos I find are people who are self proclaimed wing Chun masters or just some guy who thinks he knows wing chun but I think that a combination of wing chun,bjj and mma would go nicely together
Good teknik
What a nice sifu and pleasant school... just would like to learn online asap
Do you guys have a practice center here in Winnipeg?I'm willing to learn wing chun
What a great sifu , wish I lived there!
Nice
Answer for the student about hooking the Leg, (Because he is afraid that it’s going to hurt) The power is a the End of the Kick So Just step toward the kick when you are hooking it., peace
Improper use of outside block, teach your students to correctly kick, then use a "shield" to block as you move away. A shield is when you cover your ear with your wrist.
WoW !
Show muito bom
i think we wouldn't know when the thai kicker would round house to the head though. he could be hurting with low kicks and then a surprise round house. anybody can block if one knows the exact kick the opponent will do.
But that is the difference. High level fighters set things up. Street brawler just attack.

When do roundhouse kicks aim for the shoulder and not the head?
Been analyzing roundhouse kicks for a year now and practicing them to. I do some light sparring with my 16 year old son and I've accidentally blocked his kicka with traditional karate blockings ... DON'T use your arms unless your a shaolin munk who has been practicing from the age of 5 to turn your body into an actual wepon.
Any possibility we could see this demonstrated in a sparring situation against someone who can throw an actual roundhouse?
Countering the Roundhouse kick is easy,but see real roundhouse in sparring is difficulte.
Sparring is sparring.

@@johndrake5467 Not completely same but still proved that this movement work, I believe.

@@johndrake5467 @ it common sense to do Catch Kicks & Sweep in muay thai.
Please address Muay Thai leg kick roundhouse. Thanks
He's doing a modified X block for part of it, so that would work, but the one arm thing is just going to get you hurt.
My question is, who in the world is gonna lead with a roundhouse to the head? Generally you setup the head kick. Also you start low (leg, body) then setup for a head kick. Or even a switch kick to the head.
Good observation. Who can use one arm to take a rear leg round kick without moving back or to the.right to take the. steam away a little bit?

This is a great way to get a broken forearm.This video is just delusional and only works in demonstration scenarios. I would like to see this attempted at %100 speed and with or without a setup before the kick tbh.

If you preplanned to get your Kick caught question remains is it a novice judgment? Or is it a BJJ or novice judgment call? Either one, don't throw partial kicking. Thats your Conviction is it, partial kicks is a bad kick.
Do it in sparring... do it when you have not selected it and told the attacker what to do. Do it when its hidden behind other offensive attacks. Do it correctly and step off line... then show it working ...
Adam, was curious is there a risk that you may break a bone when blocking a kick like that with your arm? Or is your kick diminishing the opponent's kick power?
Ideally, it's best to not be there, side step, etc..
Great instruction being given. Distance, timing and relaxation really do play a big role.
Actually sparring plays a bigger role
I'm sorry but never use this in a fight. This is a great way to break your arm and fingers a good round house kick is way too powerful to be blocking with forearms.
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Won’t it hurt you or break your arm if the kicker is a very good kicker ?
Yes if you just stand there and turn on your heels. He's going in to the kicks, some step 45°c
Don't think you would want to block a Thai kick with your arms. They might break. But looks cool
Hi Sifu Adam.. I take you seriously as a KUNG FU INSTRUCTOR and because of that, sometimes I may leave advice.. it’s only something to think about, and not any attempt to troll, or look smart. I really am just a KUNG FU NERD like so many others call it that. So 🤘🏻just letting you know if I say something, it’s never to disagree, but just an idea 💡

your hand will be broken if you block muay Thai kick using winchun technique
Some of those round house kicks are as quick as bullets and aims to the head. Hope this counter technique works with a taekwondo guy
In so many MMA fights, Thai boxing fights, , the "round house kick" as some people call it, has been used so successfully to knock out the opponent by hitting the side of the head. If Adam Chan Sifu's "bong sull" with the low kick is that effective, why has no one used this technique in MMA and Thai boxing fights?

Different techniques for different situations. Not everyone kicks the same. What might not work for a professional fighter can work on your average bloke.
For example, the takedowns and joint locks that cops use everyday would never work in the cage.
because you need to have good reaction speeds depending on you distance. If you don;t anticipate the kick coming, or caught off guard, you are gone.
@@RagingUtai I see.....Then is Chan sifu can "anticipate" the kick coming, then surely some MMA fighters (among the thousands of them worldwide) must be able to learn the technique too!!
@@blockmasterscott um....."Not everyone kick the same"....Ok in that case adapt the bong-sull accordingly then.....🙂
Oh btw we are talking about defence against a "round house kick" here. Takedown and arm locks are different things.
The interesting thing is, what he's doing is only 10% of the whole idea of doing simultaneous defense and offense against a roundhouse. If he REALLY knew how to use his Tan Sau and Bong Sau, everyone would have to wear shin guards to even train, so their shins don't break.
If someone threw a REALLY HARD roundhouse against him and he did his Tan Sau like that, his Tan Sau would collapse and he could dangerously injure himself. But whatever, at least he is having fun. I rather learn to fight than to have fun, but to each their own.
New respect for wing Chun this guys classes seem fun and like you actually learn good self defense
i really want to learn wing chun ,, but i dont know how to start , 😑
this guy clearly has no idea what a muay thai round kick feels like.
Real fight please
None of those guys executing the roundhouse kick aren't doing it correctly the ground foot is wrong , the heel should always be pointed toward the opponent , but this is common and it's not just the students who have bad form .
Watch out we have a real expert over here!
Will this work on Mirko Crocop???
Hahaha yeah or any decent kickboxer it’s Muay Thai guy no way. But against an average guy in the street yes.
But you should train as if you’d face a proper kicker otherwise no point.
Hey, I often share you on Facebook. You have a facebook you wouldn't mind me tagging?
A bong sau on a Muy Thai kick and u will break your arm.
Exactly, I teach my students to position and cover against the roundhouse. Using bong sau is asking for a break. Not to mention, most people throwing roundhouse kicks are skilled enough to set up a roundhouse, not just throw one.
What if they're gonna throw the roundhouse like a taekwondo practitioner and snap it back so you can't catch it???
Umm ...then you don't catch it?
@@VTSifuSteve well I'm just saying, shouldn't you take into account those types of kicks too ? Not just Thai style kicks
@@Kamingo170 Sure. But if you don't catch the kick, you gotta flow into the next thing ...in any martial art. It's not like you have to make a given move work ...if the situation doesn't allow it. Generally speaking, Wing Chun guys keep forward pressure, so if you pull a kick back, they try to follow your withdrawing energy in and close. If they can.
@@VTSifuSteve Most wing Chun guys can't use wing Chun effectively in that "forward pressure" sense. They just turn into sloppy kickboxers with weird vertical punches. I'm a black belt in Kenpo and Taekwondo and I've had wing Chun people ask to spar at my studio. Very rarely are there people who can ACTUALLY use wing Chun. Like Mark Stas and his wing flow system
@@Kamingo170 Dunno. It comes down to things like how you train. BTW I'm no WC/WT purist. As for fighters ...I knew Emin Boztepe in his prime (back in the late 80s and early 90s. He could fight. But that was before MMA was a thing. Today, I kinda like what Alan Orr's guys do. Seems real and practical. As for myself ...I'm just an out-of shape old guy with a keyboard. Kenpo was my first art. Never got very far, but these days I am fat enough to be a Kenpo master!!!
I am gonna say the problem I see, through personal experience, why this might not be the way you want to block a guy that can really kick properly. First don't just block with your forearm like that. I know so many guys at my gym can through that block or probably break your bone if you block like that. Brace the kick with your whole arm like the way you block a hook (still in many professional fight humerus, ulna and radius was broken), or move out. I am 5 foot 6, and constantly have to spar with guys that are much taller. They can generate so much power because of size, and that kicking to my head is just a body kick height for him. So he can come at you with A LOT of power. Even when we spar at 50% power, I know there is no way I can defend myself with these type of blocks if we ever go 100%.
{
The way he catches is also not 100% full prove. Once again a heavier kicker is going to kick through, slide past your the shoulder guard and hit your head. At one point he shows the block and a kick to the opponent while standing on one feet. Unless the guy's kick has absolutely have no power, you would be off balance from a proper kick. Many guys can also change elevation when they kick, they can make adjustment in a split second and completely skip over that shoulder. Once again if I catch a kick like that when I spar a bigger guy I can be knocked out.
{
The thing you don't need a bigger guy to break that block and catch shown in the video. There is even some guys my height, or slightly taller then me who I train with can generate so much power in their kicks that they can move you. This look cool in a drill. In a sparring match or fight you won't be able to pull a lot of stuff from this video. There are much simpler, more elegant type of catches and blocks you can do.
I would not do a catch for a kick at all but this is going to depend on where you block the kick. If you block a kick like that close to the foot your taking the power. However if you block a kick like the close to the knee then there is much less power. Which means much more chance of success. It is kinda like a baseball bat. At the tip of the bat during a swing you got all of the energy but closer to the base of the bat there is much less energy.
@@colemanrobbins7056 It depends on how you catch. In Muay Thai there are may ways u can catch a kick, and a lot time when you do, you actually side step while you catch so u are not getting the impact at it's height of the power. U can see so many of catching and sweeps in professional Muay thai fights. Specially if you drill yourself everyday in catching you can do it safely. Not catching a kick at all limits ways to defend a kick. I actually love catching and sweeping people when I spar. When u see them off the air then u push them back down on to the ground, lol priceless.
All up untill now, everything seems legit, high level technique and realistic advices but this..... My hand was broken once because i tried to block a side kick aka mawashi geri in karate using the part of the arm which is between the wrist and the elbow
To me blocking a roundhouse is like blocking a stick or bat - either u block NOT at their full extension (where there is FULL power) - like jamming them - or use your whole body behind the block - if u stick out just your arm at full swing - u may break your arm.
This is not a block, it’s a deviation, he explains in the video how a block would break your bone.
@@gunnerhiro394 Like they say, a hard force agaist something hard, will result in something breaking. I think it should be a last resort option if you can't manage distance,
If he kicks a little bit higher it's kick in the head and KO... not very safe technique imo.
Y’all in the comments don’t understand that bone conditioning is important I know guys who can block kicks with one arm and take leg kicks easy cuz their bones are super dense our bones are stronger then metal and tougher then steel
The time it takes for someone to lift their leg to kick you is more than enough time for you to move in and do whatever the situation presents for you to do.
not it isn't ,some kicks are done under a second
@@RagingUtai And moving in is done in under a second.
@@djehutisundaka7998 by the time you react, it's too late. Unless you know a kick is coming and at the right distance, it's near impossible to block. It's easy when you tell a partner to kick and then ready for it.
You not have have very fast reaction skills and muscles,and train for hrs for instand nody reflecx and countering
@@RagingUtai Kicking requires positioning for balance. One cannot simply kick without telegraphing a change in one's posture. The higher the kick, the greater the telegraph. There's no act of mobility that can be engaged in on one leg that cannot be countered faster on two. That's why so many kickers have often fallen prey to grapplers. If kicking were supremely effective, strikers wouldn't feel a need to incorporate a knowledge of grappling and fighters proficient in only Muay Tai would dominate MMA.
Its really sad that these student are been given a false sense of security by thinking they can defend against a well conditioned shin roundhouse kick.None of those wing chun hand technique can stop a roundhouse kick that is meant to take your head off,you will only succeed in breaking your arm.I am so tired of these wing chun people still fooling the public and student when we see in so many videos in any fight they are in weather its street or tournaments they are always annihilated,and they never never showcase any of their signature blocking or trapping moves when real punches from a uncooperative opponent is thrown at them.Sad people keep looking for the magic fairy of wing chun.

If the last 2 videos had such doubtful comments saying "it wont work against a real fighter"......
Oh my, I wonder how much worse those comments in this video will be.
SCREAM THEGUY he showed in the past that he can defend him self 😂
You want to block a shin flying at you at about 100 miles per hour with your arm? Hope you have P.O.P. in your first aid kit.
Doesn't work in real combat. You can't parry away a full power roundhouse that easily and it's a KO if your timing is off just by milliseconds.

Hi lm in Kurdistan
Folks please dont try to block a round kick. Move back out of range or move forward to jam it.
Cute. I'd like to see you try that defense against a seasoned Kyokushin or Shotokan fighter for fun. Then, for real "kicks" we'll send in a Muay Thai fighter and have him roundhouse kick you.

@@johndrake5467 absolutely beautiful demonstration. I love it when techniques like this in the above video are demonstrated and are shown to be highly effective.
50% unreal.
Never try to catch a kick. If kick is fast or change angle you will be ko. Just front kick the thigh or block with knee up like nut thai
Okay.. This is pretty much meaningless. A rear leg roundhouse kick is SO VERY telegraphed as to be a nothing attack. Maybe if The attacker set it up with a lead jab or something. But you can see this attack coming from a mile away and can nullify any power it might have pretty easily. Beating a stupid fighter is easy. Show us how to beat a smart fighter.
Here come the MMA fanbois butthurt and in denial how easy their Muay Thai sport is to beat.
Yeah, easy to beat and that’s why 99,9 % wing chun guys lose to mma/muay thai...
@@tprnbs easy to beat if you know how, training properly... most kung fu schools don't spar or train their striking like boxers nor train against a variety of realistic attacks... doesn't mean MMA isn't counterable using kung fu techniques. Face it, as Adam shows in this vid, taking out a Thai roundhouse kicker is easy. It's telegraphed, overcommitted and vulnerable.
@@danielskipp1 this is not an answer to the question. a truly proper roundhouse kick is not so easy to counter, that is why usual counter-demonstrations are against improper roundhouse kick esp. when the defender knows that the other will throw an often improper roundhouse
Daniel Skipp i know that most TMA schools today have crappy teaching methods (no sparring etc) that’s why i joined mma gym after my sensei died because i couldn’t find another good karate school in my area. Properly trained kung fu/karate works i agree with that. Roundkick is not so easy to counter if someone setup it with some punches or other kicks
Demonstrations always makes every thing look easy and applicable. Muay Thai round house kicks legit snaps forearms and break legs.
