interesting take. I completely agree that there really are no 'blocks' in wing chun. I see you mention many techniques for defense here. In other videos I have heard you mention and cover centerline concept and that everything moves towards the center. I've also seen you demonstrate this when using 2 hands. Where I am really suprised is I've never heard any mention of gate theories in any of your clips - particularily in this one where you are talking defensive techniques. 2 handed offense/defence applications are often driven by gate theries and/or 4 gate defense. does your lineage not have gate theory?
@@sifuadamwilliss Thanks for the reply. I see that in the clip. You mention gate theory and how it is broken down into 6 or 8 sections or zone defense. You do give a demonstration here, but I don't see any mention of how or why there are 6 or 8 'gates', how they are defined, how they are employed and what they are used for. Why 6 or 8? What's the difference? How do you use them to your advantage? Does each person have 6 or 8 gates? or is it only the opponent? Or is it shared? Most Yip Man lineages speak mainly of 4 gates of offence defence. Do you not have these as well? Not meaning these questions as an attack. We've met and touched hands before years ago at an AZ friendship gathering. I'm looking for more clarification of the things you present and how your lineage defines and uses them. Unfortunately, the video you linked was a bit vague in that area IMO. Thanks in adnave.
Sifu Adam, I don't understand what a Fook sao would be used for. A huen sao is a transition in a way also. 1 thing I know is you don't go totally sideways or totally forward, diagonally forward when using like pak sao or tan sao. When doing a pak sao don't go past your shoulders. Also you use the other person's energy. And last don't open a door you can't close.
@@sifuadamwilliss that's what I was talking about going diagonally forward to the attacker's center line. Some people think you go straight sideways with a pak sao or drive a tan sao straight forward. Use a triangle on a horizontal plane, the base at your shoulders & apex pointing at their center line & you use those lines
what the Fook Sifu? giving out all the secrets man! Ossss! RESPECT!

@@sifuadamwilliss hi. was hoping for a little more discussion/understanding on my follow question above. thanks

A Fook Sao is just a deflection that covers our inside line. Also the more you go to the opponent’s center the better.

How do you write gwaat sau in Chinese? Never heard of that one before
Gwat means to scrape. Gaun means to plow. Not sure how to write it in Chinese.
