Good video on Jum Sao. What must be understood (many outside WC don't) is the importance of chi sao to 'sensitize' the hands/forearms to opponent's movement/intent and create forward energy. Chi sao is a 'training exercise' - not a fighting method. Remember - the simplest most direct and efficient method (to intercept/hit the opponent) is a straight line.
Thank you for thinking outside the box and actually showing what to do if the guy reacts with something else. Because nobody is going to just bong sao when you do something.
Hi Adam, I love your focused videos of specific Wing Chun movements. It looked like on this Jum Sau video, you were showing Jum Sau only from the inside gate. Isn't it more effectively (and more commonly used to the outside (like in Closings for example)?
I think the one movement jum sao only works against vertical punches. It's alot harder to hit the target in one move when the opponent does horizontal punches.
While I understand what you are trying to present... Its not technically correct. I slowed down your example, to .25 speed. At 1:13, you basically hop right over the arm, rather than cutting into it. Because if you actually cut into it... it would cause major friction, and would Stop your arm... just like every other slower example... that shows you stopping very far from actual hitting range. And even In the bad example of the supposed Hit at 1:13 ... the punch is still just Surface level. It lacks the proper penetration depth, to be a proper damaging impact. This is a common problem in WC.. when people try to interpret the "Coordination Drills", with actual "Combat Applications". The Concept... is that Jum is an Under-Forearm deflection technique... that Cuts into the OPs limb, while slowing + deflecting it. If the OPs attack was perfectly level... you Might be able to cut though it with a vertical punch. But even then.. you still likely have to Hop over the OPs arm, after a partial cutting interception. As such... yes... it typically is actually 2 movements. In actual combat reality... its more likely that you will never use it as a single drive-through method. Instead, the arms will get stopped and caught... and you follow up from that point forwards. The most basic principle being taught, is "Wedging". Also note.. that if you easily skip over the top of the OPs arm (angling upwards, and very little to no cutting friction)... they can just as easily continue to strike Under your own attempted punch. This is why its more important, to Stop the strike completely.. rather than simply Rushing in for a hit... and ending up being countered.
Thanks Chris, your sacrifice is much appreciated
Hear hear
Another great lesson from Adam Chan. Concise, clearly articulated, and easy to understand 💯
We should set up a patreon for Chris's hospital bills.

It's always awesome to watch and so inspiring to train and get it right. Thanks Chris and Adam for sharing. ❤️

Love this channel. Love all the info and explanations. Thankyou
Ithink Adam and Chris spoils us. There arent many Wing Chun youtube teachers that do these applications
Excellent instruction! Your explanations are always so helpful.
great stuff! thank you for sharing!

Nice ✨️ Adam

There is NOother teacher on youtube that mixes, and displays Wing Chun and Hsing Yi. Keepthat in mind folks
