Nice vid. Yeah, most people learn Sil Lim Tao and thinks you have to stand like a Statue. They never go on to Cham Kiu and learn to move and shift. And they think that in real fighting you do the actual form, which is only a concept ! I see so many people practicing Wing Chun for many years and gets it all wrong in actual application !
Basically what your saying Sifu is use footwork to 'seek the bridge' and gain control over the center of opponent. I believe this is the idea of Chum Kiu form but techniques are honed within Mook Jong training. Free from desire you see the mystery. Full of desire you see the manifestations.
@@paul7754 yep, that’s the BIG idea of Wing Chun…to seek control and avoid a “pitched battle.” Marching straight forward without regard to superior positioning is a recipe for disaster, which we’ve seen play out many, many times online. Good footwork, on the other hand, seeks to nullify the enemy’s offense (or at least diminish it greatly) while simultaneously establishing our own. That’s the key thing. Thanks for watching and the input too.
I was doing some drills outside the place we were staying. A couple of the kids wanted to spar with me. I said sure, and used footwork to evade their hay makers, then I would tap them. The said I was cheating 😅. I tried to explain footwork, but they told me they were taught otherwise. Oh well......
imho the biggest mistake in wingchung is overthinking it and fighting defensive it's all about counterpunching dont try to doge every attack you cant defend for ever
@@GeorgeMoon-p1t great questions. Maybe we should make a video on them. But, anyway, I’d say that the Ip Man movie - the first one - was quite good. It had, despite having to make Wing Chun a bit theatrical, a good many lessons in it. For example, the factory workers had learned a little bit but weren’t ready to fight the northern gang. They had basic form but once they got hit, they quickly fell apart. Stuff like that was excellent. It also showed that character counts and that a great fighter can and should also be a gentleman. I loved that part. The other movies, though, became more and more fantastical (like fighting on the table and Mike Tyson being a gangster, etc.). That sort of stuff begins to diminish the core lessons of the system. They were still fun to watch, though lol. As for head butts and eye jabs: Wing Chun absolutely has them. Bruce was doing eye jabs (Biu Jee) long before his full JKD days because it’s a huge Wing Chun tactic. And the head-butt, though eschewed by some, adheres to the principle of being simple and direct. Thanks for the great questions and for watching too. Hope this helped.
@@JKDandWingChun how many Chinese martial arts are there? And when it comes to the animal styles is it imitating animal movements? Or the way they form a fist imitating the shape of an animal or is it imitating the animals way of attack? Can’t find anything solid. I’m interested in the Chinese arts because when I’ve seen wushu it’s so fluid and dynamic and apparently all arts of Asia has their roots in china . They’ve had countless tribes, war lords. Conflicts , empires so there must be good Chinese systems around
Very well said, sir. Footwork (mobility) wins fights.
@@davidyoung745 absolutely!! It’s the key to it all. Thanks for the input.

@@mikeruddell6091 yeah. If you’re taught wrong about movement and think it’s all about hitting the guy, that’s the result. 🙏😎
I've read it - do not like krav maga. Thanks justin, Fan of Yours and your martial arts

Take 7 months and learn Al Case's Nine Square Diagram Boxing. This will boost your Wing Chun to whole other level.
imho the biggest mistake in wingchung is overthinking it and fighting defensive
it's all about counterpunching
dont try to doge every attack
you cant defend for ever
@@kungfujoe2136 good point. Thanks for watching.
Question. Do you think the ip man films did a disservice promoting wing chun ? And does wing chun have headbutts and eye jabs or is that Jkd?
