*A note about this channel the lineage:
Sifu Nima King is the owner and team leader of Mindful Wing Chun, a CST Wing Chun school in Hong Kong with affiliations around the world. Mindful Wing Chun is wholeheartedly dedicated to passing on the internal wing chun method as passed down by Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin who was the longest serving student of Grandmaster Ip Man. Chu Shong Tin lived with Ip Man for 5 years (1950-1955) and was coined the title ' the king of siu nim tao' by his master Ip Man.
He was a legend in the world of Wing Chun (in particular the internal method of wing chun) and spent 64years passing it on full-time before he passed away in 2014. Nim King practiced under hin in Hong Kong for 9 years and established Mindful Wing Chun under CST's guidance. Nima is also on the board of Directors for the 'Chu Shong Tin Alumni' which is a group of senior students of CST that were hand picked by him to establish the Alumni and to uphold and continue his teachings and Wing Chun legacy after he passed away.
Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin was a very humble and low-key Wing Chun Master therefore its only after we began putting his videos online, that people started to hear about him. In fact, majority of the main Wing CHun teachers (of the Ip Man lineage) who began practice in the 50s and early 60s (apart of Leung Sheung and Lok Yiu) were trained by CST even-though they were Ip Man's students. This is due to CST being the most snr and main teacher of Ip Man's school in those days.
Nima was lucky to start his practice under CST in 2005 because that's when CST decided to change his teaching to all internal practice so that he can pass on "Nim Tao' and 'Nim Lik' (the mind power/energy cultivated through internal Wing Chun practice) to his students.
Nima, even though a non-chinese and much younger than the other students of CST, attained a high level of these final teachings. He now mainly teaches the seniors within this lineage and also travels around giving workshops and is working on an online program so that master CST's teaching can have a greater reach.

The explanation blurb at the end really gave me deeper insight to the Taichi I felt to similar effect. The multidimensionality of the joints working together confuses the receiver’s brain, just enough to off their balance. Also explains the empty force that “magically” pushes you or absorbs your force.

Awesome! glad you found it helpful 🙏

There's something I would do that is very similar I think.
I refer to it as stretching though, but you say placing. Sounds like the effects would be similar.
If it were arm only, I would stretch my limb past the point of contact. Works very well because as you noted at the end of the video, the other person simply can not feel the force and so has nothing to act against. All in all, it is also stronger. When hitting this way it pierces rather than thudding or hammering.
If I were to describe the sensation, average person pushes their mechanic. This mechanic feels more like you're being pulled rather than pushing the movement.
Besides saying stretching, I've tried telling people to reach past, and relax forward.
Some people get it with guidance, most don't.

八斬刀的墜體重力衝刀，再於接觸時加旋轉力變成疾勁

[@MindfulWingChun]

Yes but its actually more than just the weight of the knife. The aim in the Wing Chun weapons is to be able to put your own body mass into and through the weapon
