Sifu, I can't click YT on favorites for your videos anymore, but I still able to leave comments. Your videos and insights are priceless. Thank you very much.
Controlling the Elbow is a valid thing. However, you can use the technique, exactly as its taught in the forms. It appears to be used best, when the OP has fully extended their arms (fully locked out). Likely off of a Wedging tech, and then using Heun Sao to circle under the OPs elbows. In the form, it shows that you can go from an upwards rising jolt... into a downwards pulling jolt... and since the OP will now be closer to you.. launch a finger strike to their Eye. This can also be applied in the form of an Double Arm "Break" technique (I believe its called Jeep Sao). One arm lifts at the elbow joint, while the rear arm descends to the wristbone /forearm area... in a violent jolting/explosive movement. But again.. this kind of tech, is only really used against a fully extended arm. This is why, whenever you do your WC punches.. you should always stop about 1 cm to 1 inch from full extension, on purpose. Leaving even the slightest of bends, will prevent a high level fighter, from being able Lock-Out (Chi-Na) and or Break your arm. As for the "Leg Compression" explanation, and demo... realize that if you bend at the moment of contact, you can actually end up absorbing your own forces. Instead, by sitting properly into the technique (correct stance), you are merely lowering your center of gravity, and compressing your mass / tissues. The truth is.. you should almost NEVER be rising up from your bent knee stance. When you are in stance.. and you take a single step forwards.. the level of your head height, should never change, throughout the entire Step... and even, throughout the entire Situation. This is proper "Rooting". If you are constantly rising and falling, and your legs are fully straightening.. you are not doing things properly + safely. If your leg is EVER fully locked out... a good low kick could easily Hyper-Extend your knee joint... and there would be Nothing you could do about it. This can happen in a Fraction of a Second timeframe. Its also why proper WC places 100% of your body mass, over the rear leg. None on the Lead leg... with the only exception, when you are taking a step forwards... and even then... only for a fraction of a second... until you can slide your rear leg back under you, and resume to be Weightless on you Lead leg. The reason? Because if your Lead leg has weight over it... any good WC / Chinese kicker... can attack your kneecap / shin / etc.. Faster than you can De-Weight in time to be able to Move / Defend yourself. If your lead leg is Weightless.. like a mere feathers pressure on the ground... it can be used to React Instantly to a Threat / Attack. This is where advanced Leg Fencing techniques come into play. A lot of WC practitioners, and even many teachers... have never seemed to have learned the proper Combat-Critical Leg Fencing methods. WC uses its leg techniques, very similar to how we use our Arm Techniques... such as using Tan, Bong..etc.. energies / shapes. Even at the most Basic of Principles... Is simply to Lower your center of Gravity. The lower it is.. the harder it is to be able to tip you over / push you / manipulate you. You gain Stability, and additional Structural + impact potential Power, from the proper developed.. and utilized.. stance. I will add, that even when you Front / Oblique Kick... you should also not be "Bouncing". Again, your head height, should remain the exact same height, through your entire kick, and during the legs return. At most, you might dip a hair lower for a moment.. but you never raise up to straighten your post leg. Your post legs knee should be just about directly in-line, with your Toes, at all times. To prevent straightening the legs... make sure to do a lot of Long Stand sessions, both in and out of classes. You can be in the stance, while at work.. and or while waiting in long lines... and nobody really will notice / care. I often do single leg stances, while waiting in lines. I tend to keep the hanging leg, close to my body, to reduce the visual impact to outsiders... but its toes are barely resting on the floor (no actual weight). If you fatigue from only 60 seconds or less... you are not even close to being at a combat level of functionality. Its not just about muscular development... as you need to vastly strengthen your Tendons / Joints.
Pelajaran yg sangat berguna, tapi dengan mengikuti konaep ini sya tetap menyebutnya sesat, karena masih banyak yg "tidak sesat" masih tidak paham konsep. Mereka cuma berkonsep selama bisa memgalahkan orang di jalan sudah cukup.
I still don't get used to that type of muk yan chong 😅 Alright but don't hit your friend so hard, I watched the one where you threw him too hard against the floor 😬😟 And the thing here is the opponent may have a good stance and it would be not that easy to take his balance off 😳 sifu, honestly, if you can make that muk yan chong pass away, I would suggest you to change to the one I prefer, with rails on the wall, so it would slide only 😬 and if I ever go to your place I'm not sure if I want to cross hands with you 😬😬😬

Your hand speed is bloody amazing!
wonderful concept! Thank you for sharing!
The part when the wooden dummy fall is hilarious😂.
Amazing and thank you!
Thank you
It's quiet as a mouse over here today.😂 I guess everyone is as shocked as I am 😅
I have a question about the first set of the first form,do you do gaan sao and then double toc sao or is a double taan sao?
A technique that goes well with the toc-sau i tic-sau. If you do them in a fast combo you go tic, toc, tic, toc!😁
Hello Adam,
At your level, do you train with other expert martial artists to maintain/ improve your skills?
We usually do not say train with other experts but an exchange or a discussion of martial arts. BTW, how did you know what is his level?
