I started my martial journey in the seventies, I have studied Judo Karate JUi Jitsu and my Fav, Kung Fu . I have been out for 20 years but I am sixty and more committed than ever ( I dont want to over age You have what i've been missing .THANKS I will be here.
Awesome explanation sifu
Excellent! Wing Chun is the only applicable use of this quote: "To Succeed You Must Live In The Basement" 😄
Thanks for your wisdom, Sifu. I took your online course. Thanks. It takes a lifetime to get structure right. Thanks!
Really in the Sifu David’s coarse.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! While practicing Siu Nim Tao relaxation is much easier as when it comes to a fighting situation. Immediately I become stiff in my shoulders. How do you transfer that kind of relaxation in combat situations? Greetings! 🙏🙂
Thanks. Been years, it really hard to relax with intent to have firm structure
Great lesson. IDK if it's only on my end, but the sound quality on this video is not your usually high standard. The echo makes it harder to hear.
Great lesson!
Thank you so much Sifu ‘ 🙏🏼
Hello from Germany, always enjoy your vids 👍
awesome explanation, i think this is akin to opening of the joints and closing in internal martial arts.
This is great stuff
What if the scapula (and the muscle that help it stay close to the body) are misaligned due to a muscle imbalance... or winged for example. Would this be something that the form and the practice will correct on its own, or would you suggest doing physical therapy to correct the issue before starting Wing Chun? (or along side it) - thanks in advance.
Practicing will definitely help but I would do physical therapy too.
4:26 - So, would it be correct to say that if you put your back against a wall and you punch forward, you should feel your shoulders touching the wall without separating?
Yes. Your shoulders would stay in contact with the wall.
Do you sink doing punch?
Absolutely
@@sifuadamwilliss Would you show, how you do it doing chain punching?
@@user-pb6vr5oq7u you can see the shoulder in this punching lesson ruclips.net/video/vVaZTsSJk_s/видео.html
@@user-pb6vr5oq7u here’s another one ruclips.net/video/uv6-tdmIu1k/видео.html
But how can you relax your trapezium muscle when you throw a wide hook?
". You’ll learn the keys to sinking your arm, which is a critical part the entire Wing Chun body structure."- I've always been taught that the most important/crucial part of wing chun structure is how to properly align the skeleton and joints thru the body - wrist, elbow, hip, knee, ankle - along with proper spinal alignment. This is generally accepted in most wing chun lineages. While relaxation is important as one progresses, without the above mentioned things, all the relaxation in the world will not matter in tearms of wing chun body structural alignment.
A critical part is different from the critical or most critical. So likely he meant a critical part among critical parts not that it is the only critical part and not that it is the most critical part, not giving valuation beyond being in that group of critical parts.
@@timblank4432 thank you for the reply. it sounds like you are guessing and making assumptions about what the person on the video may or may not have meant. . I'm talking simple, basic, commonly accepted Wing Chun principles based on real world physics and mechanics that are really proven thru application. Nothing to guess or speculate about.
@@jpsandberg No assumptions made, I just think you are missing the “the” vs “a” distinction. No disrespect meant. I was just trying to help with some possible confusion.
Neither of us are mind readers either and I was just going by the grammar you used in your post.
Both skeletal alignment and the sinking elbow are important components. It’s possible that the sinking of the elbow might be part of skeletal alignment but I would have to ask a sifu.
Adam talks about relaxation and alignment I think in other videos I think.
You're taking to 'a Sifu', with over 20 years experience in 2 separate lineages of wing chun, the second of which I'm a closed door direct student of the lineage holder), have been teaching for more than half of those years, been to many competitions as judge, traveled and met practitioners, sifus, etc around the US and Europe.
But even with all of that I don't know everything and I still have questions regarding how others do things. Which is is why I asked Sifu' Adam directly. (Fwiw, I met Adam once in 2007 here in Arizona at a friendship gathering and he was a nice and friendly guy)
So, at this point, I think instead of going back and forth on what you think he might or might not have meant (like you said yourself, you are not a mind reader), I think it's best to just wait for his response and not make a bigger deal out of this than needs be. (If he chooses to answer)
@@jpsandberg Well you have my respect for the dedication to the art. Let bygones be bygones and let’s be friends. There’s too much fighting and not enough collaboration in the arts as it is. Wishing you well on your journey.
