A Beginners Guide to Wing Chun Chain Punches

[@buzzardneckseahag]

Throughout the state of New York as well as when I lived in Taipei Taiwan I have seen many wing Chun schools, and to be honest you make the hard way more functional than any other teacher I have ever seen throughout my entire life.... My background is praying mantis which I learned while living in Asia we use trapping and the chain punch as well but you teach it beautifully

[@godfreytshishonga1037]

My 7yr old daughter she's a big fan you sir.... she said u like fighting cos u smile when fighting. Thank you for all this info u sharing with us!!!

[@fightscience]

Thank you very much.

[@alxcross1850]

Wow, I was having doubts with WC until I started watching Sifu's video. Thank you so much!

[@TimRHillard]

I'd love to see you make some more technique videos again. Please.

[@streetlethal3727]

The wing chun punch is delicate and should be performed with slight movements the three punch combo is shown in the first form.

[@kj3rd2657]

I use my chain punch in a fight one time in the pass and as I was hitting the guy in the face, he still hit me with a hook punch. Lucky for me, it did not have any knockout power to lay me out. I see that WC is open for those power hook punches. Thank You for any tips, on this.

[@fightscience]

+Keith Johnson Sorry to hear you got caught with a hook punch. If you don't mind me saying it sounds like you may of used it at the wrong time, which is the point that we were making. Wing Chun Chain punching is a process of maintaining space, which often leaves you unguarded if you are not careful. So the key thing is to drive forward or to simply time your punches better, while not committing both arms into the punch. Having said that, the nature of real fighting is that you will get hit in the face, it's unrealistic not to expect to get hit in return. What martial arts training does for you (even in Wing Chun) is make you much more resilient to being punched in the face, and that's why you thought he didn't have the knock out power. So you did well... As for advice perhaps its better to find the arms, tie them up, and prevent the guy from punching you. We'll do something on the sucker punch in the next few months. Thanks for watching, and well done again.

[@scottishbanjo]

Is there a video on the idea of “ the fence”

[@akshayprajapati6004]

pleas tell me about what are the exercises for chain punch and what the begginer have to do to learn chain punch and machine gun punch. Thanks in advance.

[@yhshirl]

so should your arms be at full extension or should they be bent?

[@RINX-IS-EVIL]

Where do you do training

[@poisonouspagan1690]

Excellent.

[@jaybhesania9247]

how to increase the speed of this chain punches??

[@fightscience]

Mostly by relaxation. The more relaxed your neck shoulders and back the faster your punches will be. You can also increase speed by being more dynamic in withdrawing the first punch to link to the chained punch. Hope that helps you. Thanks for watching.

[@jaybhesania9247]

+The London Wing Chun Academy Thanks, that worked for me so just practising will help me gain speed or there is any other special exercise?

[@fightscience]

Practice makes perfect my friend. Punching in the air keeping check of your body tension is the best method to develop speed. Have you tried hitting a floor to ceiling speed ball? That can help as well.

[@jaybhesania9247]

+The London Wing Chun Academy If you mean throwing a ball in air and then punching when its straight in front of your face,then my ans is yes but still i hit 8 out of every 10 times not so accurate yet.

[@Menyhard]

Nice sir

[@kj3rd2657]

Thanks for emailing me back on chain punching. How do you feel about using the phoenix eye fist as the chain punch, because it has worked very good for me in stopping a fight sooner. It hurts like hell for the other guy.

[@fightscience]

Interestingly the pheonix finger (fist) in which the single knuckle is used as a striking point is extremely effective in soft tissue areas as well as the face, but there isn't much discussion on it's use. Perhaps because it relates to the Bart Cham Do form which is an advanced practice in Wing Chun. This is effectively a whipping strike, so you could say the energy is different to the conventional wing chun centreline chain punch. Although, yes agreed it is painful in the correct striking points.

[@pierrewilliam7119]

I've seen that in kulo wing chun

[@sumitdey9292]

can you make a video on multiple strikes?

[@fightscience]

+sumit dey yes of course. What aspects were you thinking? If you watch the end of this video we discuss how to use multiple strikes let me know if this is helpful. See kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGfYk3SDncxraNU. Have a great day.

[@trondyne3513]

IME the chain punches can either be linked or not with the horse... If you hit too fast you are delinked from the horse pulses seen in Chum Kiu and can lose power ...

[@roseslasher]

That's cool and all but what I really wanna know is how is that other guy taking all those punches without even flinching. Cuz pulled or not those punches look like they hurt. Esp. The knuckles .

[@shaunakbrahmbhatt1295]

Your place .... Can I learn online ?

[@TENGUartesmarciales]

amazing videos, i'd like to ask how and when is it convenient to use the low kick simultaneously with a punch, thanks on advance :)

[@fightscience]

Hi boba fett, generally we wouldn't suggest using a low kick and a punch at the same time. Two limbs moving forward presents a big risk. Laap Sao and kicking works well. That is, any pulling actions or coving actions work well with low kicks. Thank you for the kind words.

[@TENGUartesmarciales]

The London Wing Chun Academy OK, thanks for the reply!

[@junkstardustsynchron]

Which knuckles should I use for the wing chun punch?

[@ghcheong]

Khoa Van bottom 3 knuckles of your middle, ring and pinky fingers.

[@DiscRover]

That's a good way to shatter your knuckles. Always punch with your index and middle knuckle.

[@samuraiisalmighty4917]

icyrazor no u dumb f you punch at weak spots

[@kj3rd2657]

What about using C Punching on a tall opt like 5'8"? Because I am only 5'4". Would it be better for my to just punch him in the groin?

[@fightscience]

+Keith Johnson If you mean C punch as over the overhand punch as in boxing, that is possible but won't fit with your Wing Chun skill set or method of moving. Seems a shame to abandon your Wing Chun concepts. With that in mind, there's nothing wrong with punching him in the groin, it is a fight after all. Just don't rely or depend on it to finish a fight. Use it as an opening to set up other counter punches for your Wing Chun. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

[@RINX-IS-EVIL]

Like where do you teach

[@fightscience]

I'm based in North London N22 6UJ (UK).

[@kj3rd2657]

I like the way you use your WC, just a boxer does and not like the other WC peoples I seen, who just stand in a stance.

[@fightscience]

+Keith Johnson Thanks. Perhaps that part of the problem many young Wing Chun students are trying to hard to look like they are doing Wing Chun, rather than focusing on making it work correctly in a fight. Thanks for watching.

[@russellthomas29]

When chain punching is the chest or head the preferred target or does it simply come down to the easiest target to strike?

[@kriluck0ps456]

Russell Thomas Neck (Adams apple) and solar flex

[@russellthomas29]

To Rolling thanks for the tip 👊🏻

[@bloxsclaymation]

I would think it would be even better to extend on this video by looking at the damage it would do to a human by using a mock of a human with ballistics gel with ribs and stuff adds more science to it!

[@johnpedey9270]

bloxsclaymation I don't think this kind of punch would do much damage since there isn't a lot of force behind it. Basically the most it would do to ballistic gel is make it jiggle.

[@sparta-zw2gr]

what is the defence against chain punches of wing chun???

[@fightscience]

+sparta13 13 funny enough our videos on using one arm to defend yourself are the best ideas to counter Wing Chun chain punches, especially if they flow in a left right pattern. Just watch this old one to see how: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJqrlqJ9grWVrbM. Hope this helps you. Have a great day.

[@sparta-zw2gr]

+Fight SCIENCE thank you sir for ur immediate reply but I think u understand my question not properly I want to know abot wing chun chain punch (in ipman movie donnieyen use it lots of time) I want to know how to defend against it thank you again for ur reply evrytime sir

[@fightscience]

+sparta13 13 the best defence against the Wing Chun chain as described in the Ip Man film is to use one arm to intercept and disrupt the continous pattern of left/right/left/right punches. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

[@sparta-zw2gr]

+Fight SCIENCE thank you sir I wil try it in my practice sooner or later will u show me by demonstration if u can???

[@fightscience]

+sparta13 13 yes if you have a look at the video link that I shared, you will see a demo of what to do. Have a great day.

[@Truth_Seeker1]

I wanted to learn a punch to punch a bag in the gym. My smell finger keeps hitting the bag :( I can’t get it right.

[@alexcandlin7416]

I'm a little sceptical about this technique in the sense that would you be able to stop someone quickly enough at a close range before you could be overwhelmed? Would the use of a pre-emptive cross be more effective?

[@ghcheong]

Alex Candlin It comes down to defensive psychology. Imagine you trying to rush in and grab hold of someone who is punching at your face at over a hundred punches a minute. It is survival instinct to cover up and protect oneself . Good offensive work can only be done with the critiria of the safety of one's body.

[@ghcheong]

Also, a preemptive cross will work over long distances. Problem is, it needs to chamber back. Sifu Mark has a video about dealing with jab-crosses and basically, once both arms are thrown, the opponent can use this time to smother the distance.

[@alexcandlin6983]

Gin Hao Cheong a cross or hook is effective at close and long range. But against someone trying to grab you, even a small faint punch from a grapple can open up a double leg. Also against any fighter, particularly a grappler you won’t have a full minute to hit him unopposed. It works in theory but in practise it has failed time and time again The wing Chun stance is too flat for me, very difficult to defend a take down or even someone whose played rugby. Not saying it wouldn’t work but there must be things that are more effective.

[@KamauRashid]

Sifu, I've seen other instructors perform chain punches to a downed opponent, say from a side mount position. Yet you advise against this. What technique would you employ in this context?

[@fightscience]

Kamau Rashid Thank you for the question. We would advise kneeling on the chest or abdomen and punching with a single arm. You will get more power into the punch because you can turn the hip into the action. It is will be the same concept as a turning punch. This approach will also free up the other arm to pin, counter, or protect.

Might be hard to do if the opponent have a good left/right lead hook.

[@arhonsenillo6066]

2022?

[@sicboxing4900]

The wing chun chain punch is in-effective. Try hitting and backing up a heavy bag 25kg or more you wont be able to do it, it lacks real power. Most of the power is aim downwards due to its circular motion.

[@jakenoland25]

Sic Boxing your fist should be moving strait forward then dropping to let the next one through, different from how you usually see people hitting a speed bag

[@kriluck0ps456]

Sic Boxing imagine getting chain punch on the neck solar plexus and other soft part of the body

[@sicboxing4900]

then they shouldnt have any problems backing up a heavy bag, but they will never be able to do it.

[@RawDoggin_78]

Sic Boxing it is not circular it is straight lol

[@sicboxing4900]

No it isnt, its not entirely straight, the force dips. If its 100% straight then they should be able to back up a heavy back when they do it.

[@thomascarey6003]

You do that chain punching to a boxer throwing hooks you're going to get knocked the f*** out

[@thomascarey6003]

Ryder E. I already have done boxing. In fact I boxed for many years and also trained in tae Kwon do, Tai chi, systems ( pressure point fighting), and tiger claw so I think I know what I'm talking about. I wasn't trying to be an idiot or anything I was merely pointing out a weakness in the system as there is in every style of fighting. But you really should watch with the sly comments because u never know who you are talking to.

[@samuraiisalmighty4917]

Thomas Carey then you clearly never listened to the man in this vid shaking my head

[@cosd3799]

what a hairy arms

[@billybloggs3214]

Hahahaaaaaaaaa!!! Why not punch with the front hand first? Simplicity,Directness, Practicality and Economy of movement. 4 of the 5 Wing Chun principles missing right there. Every chain punch started with the rear. Way to tense. Chu Shong Tin Wing Chun is the Real McCoy

[@fightscience]

Oh go away... you sound like a cult follower.

[@billybloggs3214]

@@fightscience Telling it how it is! Its all there in the vid. Relax!

[@fightscience]

@@billybloggs3214 I'm not sure whether to waste my valuable time on this. So I will keep it brief. Yes you can punch off Man Sau, which I prefer. However, introducing the idea of punching from Wu Sao protects your space. What we call 'filling the void' in Wing Chun. In addition it also allows the potential of momentum to develop power. Now I know the system you pertain to follow. Ours is different, therefore your comment is irrelevant as you did not listen to the logic explained. Poor sportsmanship on your behalf. Anyway thanks for watching.
