With regards to the woo woo stuff, being one of the heavy critics of "chi bullshido" I've always said that the problem isn't "internal arts", it's not "chi use" nor "tai chi" itself, it's the specific claims of supposed abilities that don't comport with reality, every explaination you've shown in this series of videos was a true, sober explaination of how these skills are actually used! Great videos, more people should recognize how it actually works, common pseudo scientific super power claims hurt the reputation of kung fu, these videos have been a great service to chinese martial arts! Great work🙏💪
5:07 Alan was showing us how when we push, the trick is to push UP AND OUT not just OUT. And then, being loose, punches, strikes, come out more natural in place like THE SNAKE is meant to. 🙏💯
Thank you so much for your valuable insights Sifu! I would like to know, if you are using the same kind of Heaven Man Earth Stretching / Force like in Tai Chi Chuan and if you could one day eleborate the relationship between the Weapons in Wing Chun Long Pole and Butterfly Knives and empty hand Wing Chun. Because there is a lot of mystfication in that part of the system too right? Do you need to train the weapons to be a complete Wing Chun practicioner, what special qualities, skills do you see in the weapons section, that is still valuable to learn? Thank you so much again, i am very thankful for your precious work and your knowledge, which you are sharing with us!
well, there are things that are really hard to explain, in terms of the body effects over the receiver - people usually think that the hopping is fake, but there are some energies that are much worse, like An - press down, that makes one's center of mass go down - not only taichi guys, but many japanese arts and other chinese internal arts have that - once you touch the guy with such dantien (or whatever) control, you feel like a 1000 kg stone was put in your arms and you can't resist but fall to the ground.
