    8:48 The way I was taught.. on the moveable dummy, was.. we’d screw in properly.. then click the pegs into the correct holes.. and then because the dummy would move naturally, we’d put our PUNCHES or slaps where the dummy world recoil back. It would hit lightly enough to just stop it’s motion with your fist...

    26:00 What I do is.. I go to the gym and hit the heavy bag n do pull ups n dips. Rip the jong work. And tie it all together by slamming the bag in real time. I’ll pretend it’s go time. I’m trying to use the biggest slickest howitzer I can muster up SAFELY. So that I know my response capabilities

    Hey guys, when I visited Vietnam I went to this guy's home (his shop) to buy whatever I could that was small. He had WC dummies that were HUGE trunks (heavy wood base) that you could move if you projected correctly. Basically it was like a "wobbleman" toy, but you needed to have the right focus to move it. It was good to move around, but you'd need a trolley jack and two people to shift it. You'd have to see and feel it to believe it.

    28:28 I use my body weight to FLING MY ARM FROM ME, only to flex and tighten up as it lands. Exploding a bit late causes a massive impact. What I mean about late is.. we never tighten things up until it’s gunna impact something worth it.

  • @JKDVIPER

    I didn’t even bother with the dummy until I knew all 3 forms by heart. Then I started looking cool deflecting on the jong. 😂😅

    On the JKD question this whole debate "Concepts vs. Original" is really a product of the US MA magazine editors that pushed this controversy in the late 80s and early 90s as more Bruce Lee students taught publicly and opened with their teachings. Most of those arguments were fueled by students and students of students often projecting their own views and 3rd hand experiences on a very prominent martial art that is actually not widely available and practised in the mainstream martial arts community. Like the movie that everyone is talking about but few only have seen. Want to compliment and join Alex advice to try to understand both approaches, what they are offering and look into what the reasons are for this or that method, approach, attitude etc. To research your own experience to form your own opinion would be the JKD way to solve this dilemma. Great podcast, greetings to the entire team.

    48:01 I really feel like people should know who to check in with if they practice wing chun or jkd. Meaning, who’s competent in the art? Who’s trustworthy? Speaking from experience.

    27:07 agreed. I do my single hits locked out. I do my blasting a few inches short. Meaning I’d extend if the wall left for a second. My hand would reach out. But generally, for SINGLE SNUFFS. I’m long. Detached. Only thing landing is my pinky or bottom 3. 🤛💯

    Many years ago, I built my own wooden dummy out of a large fence post. I had it outside and set it into the ground. I built a leg on it and some fairly long arms. But the arms didn't move (cuz I didn't know how to make them swivel).

    31:02 NO. 1. JERRY POTEET’s is the foremost authority on JKD other than DAN INOSANTO. Paul VUNAK is another one who has that distinction. Ted WONG was a part of it certainly. But these schools I mentioned were much bigger.

  • @SifuChrisChilds
    @SifuChrisChilds 2 года назад +1

    An important point in the purpose of the dummy is training footwork and position. As much as it’s overlooked in wing chun the situation is worse in choy lay fut where the vast majority think the main purpose of the dummy is some type of iron arm conditioning

    23:15 ⚠️AGREED. Omgoodness. It’s like.. why would you need to do that amount or volume of work when we are fighting it seems quality is way more important than quantity, yet, they’ll smash their own hands. They’ll do endless rounds of wall bag punching. Problem is.. they don’t know how to land a shot while under stress, or scared. 💥🥊🤛💯

    Imo....*Datu Kelly Warden* has created the 4th generation training dummy. The arms are opposable and it reminds me of if one mixed the heavy bag with the 3rd generation dummy into one dummy.
    Although I'm not an instructor, I do have a training dummy...the body is metal and the limbs are wooden. I broke the leg at the "knee" of said dummy....had to make another leg 🤣. I gotta lay off the red meat 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    17:41 I sent you a video of IP CHUN taking about WILLIAM CHEUNG. He says the reason his forms n applications were different, was because he was the laziest in the class, and he just made that stuff up. He always said.. he was a closed door student of IPMAN. He says he was taught TRADITIONAL WING CHUN. That was his excuse. 😂

    • @Jim-sr2jm
      @Jim-sr2jm Год назад

      If this is true why was William Cheung considered the greatest fighter in the Wing Chun Clan of that day, this was the words of Bruce Lee, Wong Sun Leung and others who were there. Duncan Leung was inspired to learn Wing Chun from what he heard of William. Ip Chun is expressing jealousy IMO, as he wasn't there anyway during William's training years, he came later and trained with his father's students. Let's
      have facts.

    If you punch emotionally you’ll break your hand. If you punch like a good trained wing chun/jkd person should. You’ll be detached and sticking high velocity bones into them like spikes.

    Wing Chun Dummies for Dummies? That should be a book title....You can start any human dummy on the toys early if they need something more to learn the basics, but how long does it take to show fluency? 3 or 4 years of hard training? What if woodworkers had to inspect a clients skills first before they would sell us a Chong? HA! I wish these intemediate students would stick with air dummy drills and partner work, buy lessons from teachers instead of dead logs to hang on their wall. They cann't even punch a heavy bag with power, what are they going to learn from solid wood? The Dummy itself is a great tool and can be used on the first lesson but how long can a student train in WT WITHOUT NEEDING it? That was how the "ten year to start dummy" concept was presented to me, "Why do you need the dummy?" (3 years on each form with over lapping practice would get us to ten years.) As you mention in your book, the "secrets" would have been in the BT and Dummy, so it might take a decade to earn loyaltity.
    I made my own Wooden Dummy when the time came. Great exercise of the hands and leg adduction using a hammer and chisel goat clamped around a log. I have a tree bole and some oak limbs ready for my student to make his own with my help pretty soon. I measured the drawings in the Golden Covered booklet, and the photos in the Kuen plus I knew an old secret about the arm angles. I got it pretty good I think. We are going to measure it and compare to your diagram in Book 5.
    29:23-To make it clearer, you need the sandbag work to develop the WT punch as you so eloquently discribed, and when this technology is achived WT punches can stop on contact as a skill. WT Thrust Punch requires this training; hitting HARD in the same patterns we use SOFT in partner training. We do need the minimium skin thickening to survive the body conditioning we do against the Wallbag though, but NOT the stuff Iron Palm does... It is a paradox, an example of a fundemental confused as an end result (Footnote 65, "Seeking the Bridge," Richter, 2019). We use the fist to train the power of the whole body on a solid surface, but the strike in application might be a chop or Erect Palm or Biu Tze,.....no fist at all. The Bone does not chase the Dog...
    I also punch trees in the park, and made special gloves to protect my handbones, but the impact energy is what is important, from the fist out the foot. The hands do not need to get ruined in training and should not be. The progression is not to get harder materials inside the bag, but to move onto hitting a heavy hanging bag, fixed dummy and later a full Wooden Dummy. The wall bag is the same as a glove, a thin layer to protect the finger and hand bones. We have a wide variety of materials to use today in this area...

    What kicking or punching bag is best or you prefer, the hanging bag that usually is used in boxing and kickboxing or the free standing kicking bag that you fill the base with water or sand that’s usually used in Taekwondo and Karate
    Is the speed bag or the double end bag beneficial or just for boxing

    What about the wooden dummy arms that you can attach to the heavy bag or punching bag or kicking bag,
    How about the wooden dummy arms that have the spring on them or the flat plank wall mounted wooden dummy that just has the arms
    The makiwara is usually used in karate but I think it can also be used in other styles
    I also think the wooden dummy could be used in other martial arts, not just WC Kungfu, the arms can also be kicks to the head or body you could block or represent a strike with some weapon for you to avoid and dodge

This would be a value-added feature and allow the user/reader to lay the book flat while referring to a specific page in the book while addressing an actual dummy. I will happily order this proposed 2nd version even though I already have an autographed version of the original release. Cheers!
