Sifu John Kaufman is a direct student of Chu Shong Tin, he was gracious enough to share his ways with me, very appreciative, only chi sau that really worked for me... Be well all...
Memories of life time! A master did the "chi" on me 17 years ago with just his 2 pinkies to demonstrate softness over my tense muscles. My feet kept sliding back the more I lowered and pushed against him. Blew my mind and see this again here gave me joy :) Keep on and keep up the good work KF brothers! Also the few masters who obatained this, I found that they are kind and jolly. So beware of the quiet ones! Lol
I dont think people who dont have a kind nature will ever attain high levels in the internal arts. Even if they start as very unbalanced angry ppl, through the practice, they soften mentally and emotionally and transform into better human beings...
@@MindfulWingChun Truth is a path. The direction taken once the path is found springs from the heart of the man. Chu Shong Tin had a pure heart and walked the proper way. But most walk in the opposite direction. Strength is not a virtue, and neither is weakness. It is how we use that strength, once discovered, the direction we walk, which determines our virtue. Some discover more than others, but the measure of a man's knowledge is not an indicator of the cleanness of a man's heart. A master cannot give what we do not already possess. However, he can allow us to discover what is buried within and guide us in the proper direction once we are find that path.
@@MindfulWingChun btw about his power to generate chi.. i think (maybe i m wrong bout this) but i do think.. Sifu CST has activated d level 3 in mopai nei kung system (u may search it).. accidentally and maybe because he was very talented. ruclips.net/video/k2NAohPcT4U/видео.html This man was passed away few years ago, he was a chinese indonesian, and available to utilize his chi in such way like every mopai master did. This one was a real deal, he had 1 student now that still teach in surabaya.
"Some great points and fun footage about Chi Sau. Chu Shong Tin teaches in a seminat at Mindful Wing Chun in Hong Kong in 2012."-please correct the spelling here ,I think you wanted to say 'seminar' instead of 'seminat'......Another one-"Nima King practiced under hin in Hong Kong for 9 years and established Mindful Wing Chun under CST's guidance."-you wanted to say him not 'hin' I think....The video is just fascinating and the body mechanism as being explained by CST is really fantastic in various cases that originates from his deep understanding of the human body and how to use it to counter situations and Sifu Nima ,you are passing them in remarkable manner I think....
Thanks very much for picking out those spelling mistakes. Yes CST has profound understanding and ability in using biomechanics and the human body in a remarkable way. And thank you for the kind words about me and my attempt in passing on his teachings 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great work, Nima. Could I ask you about Sui Nim Tao question? I have been practicing Sui Nim Tao myself for two months by keeping two main ideas in mind: back straight and least effort. However when raising arms, I still feel quite a lot 'Tension' on my shoulder (believed to be 'anterior deltoid') comparing to other parts of my body. Please let me know if you have any suggestion. Best, Mai
Hi Mai, thanks! I think its just time man! keep doing the hours as it takes a long time for the body to start letting go. One thing that may help is the idea that the upright fountain-like feeling in the spine is a coat hanger and the arms (and the rest of the body) is the coat that's hanging off it. This may help to 'place' and 'hang' the arms off which'll lead to relaxation.
good question. Yes it does Tommy. CST was able to lift very heavy objects. He was also able to put his mass into the Wing Chun Pole. Remarkable stuff. I'm far from where he was but am slowly able to do similar (to a lesser extent) things. Il slowly post video on my own practice as I get better at it. Things like lifting heavy objects etc.
He doesn't seem to trap the arms at all as he's so confident in his form. I'm not sure this is the best way to learn, especially if you are young and small. I learned to collapse the arm as you strike and cover/ trap with the opponents opposite arm as you strike again. And he doesn't coach the elbows in. If your elbows are out chui sau doesn't work. I'm not hating but look at his elbows, they're always in front of him pointing at the opponent.
The elbows don't need to physically be on center-line if you can focus it there (i.e. have the shoulder joint aiming the tip of the elbow inwards). I know this is not easy to believe man, but its very possible. Without this ability, the elbow needs to be physically on center to protect the center-line but in this method its not like that. I know its hard to believe but this is why I keep saying that the CST method is different from other methods. And he kept saying that this is not his method, its how wing chun is meant to be. But of course if I come out saying that I will have the entire Wing Chun community on my back saying that I'm bad mouthing their method. Actually me intention is to spread the underlying, internal ideas from this art to the world. This is why when other Wing Chun teachers come across this and touch hands, they generally start incorporating this method of practice into their training. Witnessing that happen time and time again, is the reason why I started the Online School so that the info is accessible to all, especially to the WC teachers who are interested in the internal aspect of the art, but cant be seen in my seminars casue they will lose face (understandably so).
Wing chun is deep actually.. for some who trains in for chisao never know what generates real power.. they only know good reflexes.. good reflexes without proper structure will easily broken. I understand what cst n ur method sifu Nima.. although i m from d other lineage.. my sigung also generates power like cst.. but i still cant do it either
@@MindfulWingChun thanks for the reply, (only just seen it for some reason!) This internal force is very strange and not easily taught remotely but I've seen enough demonstrations of it by reputable masters that I have to accept it's existence, it just seems to be a superpower like clairvoyance or faith healing, easy to deny until you witness it 'first hand,' so to speak.
@@clivewells7090 Actually we can really break it down with physics in terms of utilizing body mass efficiently, if not wanting to mention Nim Lik or energy etc.
yeah without correct stance and good structure its just a leaning push which is a very bad habit to form and nothing to do with combat. People who lean and push in things like chisau or push hands would get put on their ass very quickly in a real situation against a half decent fighter
well he did leave behind his teachings and legacy and there a few of us who have dedicated our lives to it and are seeing great results now. He was an amazing success as a practitioner and brought back the real (nearly forgotten) power of Wing Chun and surpassed his own teacher. And thanks to him we know about it and have a blue print to get there, which I have been fortunate enough to have the time and opportunity to put online in our online school for the world to access for this and the future generations. Close to 1000hours or footage...

Hi Rob. John is a very nice guy, but Actually he's a student of Masters Chu's student, who is a friends of mine here in hong kong named MA Kee Fa.
This is real Wingchun. The internal aspect of Wingchun is the very reason for Wingchun to exist.
Couldn't agree more! unfortunately this aspect is very overlooked in the Wing Chun community these days
A brilliant Teacher and wonderful man, blessings Sifu...
Thank you kindly

@@davidwilliams4837 ... the straight and narrow way that leads to true freedom. A bit like the red pill...
Which one are you?
@@MindfulWingChun agree
holy crap Nima. This video is one of the best demos ever.
Glad you think so Mark. He was a one of a kind type of teacher 🙏🏼
great info. I love how he copies them first then he switches and uses wing chun way of power. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure Christian. Glad you enjoyed it, and I'll keep posting more videos of Chu Shong Tin on this channel for you guys 👊🏼

Sifu doesnt even move back a step.. powerful grounding

@@MindfulWingChun i admire and appreciate what u ve been doing brother Nima.. so keep it up. I'm form sym lineage

Just wondering, does this force affect inanimate objects?

You can move any one about if they don’t have the correct stance and you have good structure. It’s nothing special

This is a short clip taken form a 3 hr seminar. So not sure what you mean that there is no teaching going on.
As shong said , he was a failure because he didn’t create great students .
well he did leave behind his teachings and legacy and there a few of us who have dedicated our lives to it and are seeing great results now.
