Excellent teaching. This is the kind of lesson which should be returned to again and again. Correct mind set is so important. 👍🙏
I like the analogy of getting your gut and brain to agree on how to do something.
It was VERY hard to use short power in Southern Mantis in non co-op battle at first coming from Choy Li Fut. Partly because of conditioning but mostly the way you train Hakkanese arts.
Hakkanese arts are very lethal, close up and it was hard because I was saying "do I actually want to kill this guy".."man I'm so close to this guy"I Then I learned how to clamp and trap an opp hands to his body. Now I'm very comfortable and can see everything. I would suggest those still not comfortable up close to learn how to clamp 🗜️ someone from moving to maintain your peace
Respect to you doing southern praying mantis. My dad's wing chun instructor did mantis first, he said that mantis was nice but he chose wing chun in the end because the trapping and chi sau training is more fun than the conditioning and the shocking energy in mantis.
More fun in the sense that there are more options besides using lethal strategies
@@screamtheguy6425 I wholeheartedly agree! The conditioning in mantis to use the short power is arduous. Wing Chun takes alot of patience though, so respect to you as well 👍
The best wing chun instructor out there
That was the best explanation of mindset I've ever heard. Wonderful teacher.
Great episode. Thank you.
Fantastic

A lot of this seems to reiterate the importance of "combat experience". Back before the 1900s, Kung Fu practitioners either got themselves into fights, actively competed aggressively, or just had to defend themselves or their loved ones because China was such a violent place. Even IF they didn't spar (which they did), our forebears had to very quickly work out what worked, and didn't work for them, and those that learned, justifiably became confident because of their lived experiences.
The modern-day reality is much different. Most of us don't NEED to fight to survive, and it's evident that relatively few people who train Kung Fu have ever been in a genuine, non-compliant conflict (thankfully) where they have needed to apply their knowledge and truly test and refine it. So building more sparring and pressure testing into the training of Chinese Kung Fu might very well be necessary unless we want Kung Fu to become a solely cultural calisthenic exercise, or something only good for entertainment.
This is very well said I always teach that but I don’t seem to formulate my words as well as you it would seem. Very articulate. Good lesson
Very few can articulate the ideas like Adam. Jin Young is another example. During my grade school years, one teacher kept repeating, "until you can explain "it" to a 6yr old, you don't "know" it. Whatever the "it" is, if you can get to the answer, but you can't explain in simple terms how you got there, you don't "know" it.
@@blindmellaneckbone Dude, I love what you said about you not knowing something unless you can explain it to a 6 year old! That's awesome.
@@blockmasterscott I wish I could take credit for it, but it was a grade school teacher that taught me that life lesson. I've carried that throughout my life and I'm almost 60. Think about that the next time someone puts themself out as a "master" or high-level practitioner of something (not just pertaining to martial arts) and if he/she can't break it down into layman's terms, with helpful analogies to drive the point home, their knowledge is good for them, but no good for YOU.
Leroy Smith gives me ptsd
I'm not sure that was Adam's point. Maybe I missed something though.
comming from karate kungfu is actauly a lot eazyer to understand imho
It’s not easy to do that takes a lot of practice at high levels of serious sparring
I have been studying and practicing Chinese marital arts since 1984 . I have not met one sifu who ever talked about not staying calm in the face of danger ......
@@MustAfaalik Change is both physical and mental . Many people I studied under over the years had street fights . They used hands and the attacker had weapons . This is not a drill it's real life I'm speaking about. So if they weren't mentally calm . They wouldn't of been physically calm . This is the way it works. I have seen Sifu Adam strike people by accident during his videos. This is a sign of not being mentally calm.........
@@tidemover It is not surprising some minor injuries occurred during one of Sifu Adams demonstration considering the number of demos he does which is clearly not an indication of lack of calmness. Lack off mental agitation is the key to calmness & crucial in the face of danger & i believe it can be achieved from correct training & mental cultivation.
@@MustAfaalik Mental training yields calmness. Training reflective movements yields habits that only work if the conditions are exactly one way. They are not the same thing or interchangeable. Mental calmness is not achieved through reflective training , The biproduct of this training is confidence but the confidence is lost if the conditions are not exactly how your training. It is slightly different. .
