very good!!!!!! this is the correct way of WC.
as an engineer i can explain this by saying that body relaxation allows you to redirect the forces applied to you , towards your mass center!this way all unesecery torques are eliminated and then you are free to focus all of your energy to a certain direction. PS: this guy is very knowledgable!knowledgable...is that even a word?
+kappa Yes, it is, kappa, and you are correct. By aligning the joints, relaxing the body, and using forward momentum and a body rotation square, the transfer of energy, or power, in this case, is seamless and flows uninterrupted, unlike a boxer's punch, whose fist is horizontal, dislocating the shoulder from the socket, and interrupting the flow of power. This is why a boxer, or any boxing derivative, such as muay thai or karate, needs four feet or more to generate power, as opposed to a wing chun guy, who needs a foot or less to generate the same amount of power. It is more like a whip in motion, or a towel being whipped out and brought back. Where the towel or whip stops it's forward motion is where the force or power gets amplified. The same applies to wing chun's punches. Where the punch stops, three inches past the point of contact, is where the power is released, inside the body of the opponent.
Yes, the most difficult thing in "internal" WC is to maintain a proper relaxed posture of shoulders, elbow, spine, hips and knees. Especially under pressure from an outside force. That's why SLT perfection is supremely important. A relief to see WC shown in this way. Thanks for the upload...although I think very few WC people will understand the profundity of this internal method. Best wishes.
Tony knows what he is talking about
WC is all internal energy, i luv showing people this at party's. Draws a crowd and convo starters which get's people interested in Martial Arts
I found this incredibly interesting and helpful and I don't even practice wing chun but rather goju ryu karate. My sensei always stresses the necessity of being relaxed and as a newbie I never really understood or rather believed it until I saw this. Wow, this can be applied to everything from blocks, punches etc... Like he explains at 3:30, I pretty much had that mentality about punches and the lot but now I know better, thanks mate!
This has been an excellent demonstration!
The first part seems to be teaching a fairly simple concept. Tensed or committed muscles cannot be committed again without first relaxing them. This is why you don't throw a punch with the kind of muscular tension more commonly found in someone sitting on the bog with a severe case of constipation.
still fantastic!

The translation from tonally based language to phonetically based makes for some interesting variations on the phonetic end.
SNT is like learning the 26 alphabet letters to form words, so its like 'ABC' of Wing Chun nth more nth less....it teaches the basic principles of wing chun like Lat Sau Jik Cung and Attack the core of ur target.
poor Tony.
its the RESPONSE!!!!
In life so often it seems, the opposite, of what you'd think is true!
@matreyia what is SLT? the word
this seems like the true way to do wing chun. Is this the way it is done by Ip Chun and Ip Ching? How do I find a class that teaches in this legitimate way?

poor tony :(
poor anthony
This gentlemen is teaching good solid technique, but the way he explains them is a little too much like pseudo-science for me. For example, you can't relax all your muscles. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to move. Its just the antagonists that you relax. The structural benefits you get in certain postures are usually because muscles are more powerful when they are at their shortest. So the postures you assume that are the strongest are those where the muscles your using are at their shortest.
