Why Use Shock Energy With All Techniques - Wing Chun, Kung Fu Report - Adam Chan

[@daveallen5342]

Adam is always the very most useful kung fu guy in the internet room. Great points. Especially on torso balance alignment. Who am I no one knows.

[@Simon2k17]

Shock power is based on being extremely relaxed until the point of contact. Then you flex your arm into your target. Once you understand that, you practice relaxing then you flex your core into your opponent. Once you understand that, then you train standing and moving meditation. Learn to melt into the ground from standing still or from moving. This trains your body to be one unit. When you flex into your opponent again, you should be able to feel the rebound force from the ground. Now you're shocking with your entire body. Be careful, training shock power alot can give you headaches.

[@DxModel219]

Yah but it starts from the stance, structure, knees and elbows.. thats where the energy is built up from. Takes years and years to build that relaxed energy.

[@Simon2k17]

@@DxModel219 Exactly, standing or moving meditation.

It can actually cause Strokes and death if not used wisely. My Bak Mei sifu warned me decades ago that systems that used this type of ging is Very hard on the body, there are certain things you can(Must) do to protect yourself , many people here are talking about a gradual buildup of energy it's not so much that because the power comes instantaneous like getting shocked by electricity ,or burned, your reaction time is lightning fast, from the core one said, like an imploding supernova, the challenge is having your body able to adopt to deliver this type of power which is all it is, a system for delivering power. A good analogy would be if you try to shoot a plus P submachine gun round through a pistol chamber, it's going to over-stress it and could cause catastrophic failure. There's no hocus-pocus or woo woo about this, and when scientifically broken down and understood, this type of power can be harnessed and delivered in a very short time providing the person is in good health. But I'm at that age where I'd rather see you guys sweat and go through the years of Tears ,decoding and unlocking the puzzle like I did, but it's very scientific and I applaud the video poster, he understands the theory of Hakka arts and not only applies the Theory but articulates and explains it well from what I see is a beautiful blending of both Wing Chun and those Hakkanise arts. I took Wing Chun for a few years the main thing that struck me at first was why they were not doing this Especially if the legend about Ng Mui and Bak Mei were true. Cheers Adam!

[@SlowDeath1993]

Your videos are gold Sifu Chan. You are appreciated so much

[@Mazeppa6]

This is very good. Shock power or ‘ging’ is the essence of what Chinese martial arts are all about. This type of force is developed after long years of intense practice hence why the fighting arts are termed ‘Kung fu’ (skill developed after a long period of effort) most just practice technique without force training hence why the general quality is at an all time low. This guy has got it though.

[@Sifu-Myers]

Yet I'm still shocked as to why more people don't learn from these martial arts when they have stuff like this

[@Mazeppa6]

@@Sifu-Myers because it takes a long time and a lot of effort (hence ‘Kung Fu) the average person would rather spend their hard earned money practicing boxing, grappling, kick boxing where the results are more instant and tangible. Not running those arts down at all (I’m a huge admirer of boxers) but the Chinese Arts are more sophisticated and have a longer shelf life but they take longer to become proficient in.

[@Sifu-Myers]

@@Mazeppa6 oh yeah I totally agree its just unfortunate because the Chinese arts or just in general traditional have so much to offer. I think alot of it comes down to most not understanding them and the training. I've even had people argue saying Iron palm is useless.... but I guess thats fine cause those who train can benefit from those arts

I never referred to it as shock I just used term relaxed explosiveness with forward intentions deadly intentions extended ki

[@deadlypalms]

Poor Scott. His arms must be black and blue when he gets home from training and filming these videos. Shock power is a great addition and a great part of the hakka tradition. A few exercises (like grinding arm/chy sau) can help develop it (it is 'rib-bone' power as part of the chow/chu gar/pak mei tradition). Another great video - thanks!

[@solagratia1600]

Thanks for this useful explanation

[@staywokezm]

All these techniques and stuff might look cool and all but I’ve never seen any teacher on KZbin teach about real life situations like how to see an attack coming cause in the end all you’re teaching doesn’t matter if a person gets hit🤷🏾.. all in all I’m here cause I love the philosophy of wing chun and so far you’re like the only one who keeps it real.

[@Spartan21blue]

This not real , nor is he keeping it real . Joseph sayah a wing Chun guy from William Cheung lineage got knocked out in the first round against a kyokushin fighter in Japan you might still find it on utube

[@johnrogers8099]

Sport fighting is fake fighting that restricts all true fighting arts. This is real. People call things fake when they don’t understand or never experienced. You cannot compare ring fighting no matter what lineage a fighter is from. With pads on it’s the most athletic that will win. MMA has polluted true fighting arts….and blinded novices to what real fighting is.

[@DimO6L6D6]

Another awesome lesson, Adam (I hope you don't mind me addressing you by your first name)! Short but so educating and useful! Thanks so much! Dim from Greece!

What an excellent demonstration! Question: Is it the same as Baji downard force in their steps but "thrown" outwards?

[@i4MiSRAEL]

Speaking of techniques or executing it then Mr. Chan is very skilful at it. Well, I have got to acknowledge that obvious fact. Nonetheless, he is one of the actual best ones out there in KZbin. Furthermore, thank you for making the realistic videos.

[@Spartan21blue]

This is realistic .?

So you've applied an electric buff to your defense. Now apply poison damage.

[@NothingSuspicious]

[@evanhernandez9324]

In the show Baki it’s referred to the poison hand 🤚

[@wallridez514]

Poison hand is real thing though...

[@kevinruesch2864]

Cause most stand firm they stand their ground so is you use shock natural they will stay still and brace theirself rely more on strength rather than yielding energy and the pressure their structure may not be ready for so it unbalanced them giving more advantage I didn't do alot of tournaments but I got a taste for it

[@saigonproducer]

Adams arms must be hard as steel.

[@farkinarkin5099]

Interesting. Using the opponent's autonomous response against them to throw off their timing. I see.

[@palmer3977]

Brilliant.

[@bajuszpal172]

Thank you Mr. Adam Chan, is not it the thing also mentioned by Late master Nakayama in adding force, kime to blocks so asto prevent him from following up his combination?. Best regards. Good idea. Paulk,67

[@9usuck0]

Gotta respect that hustle "can I teach you that? Yes I can, it's in my lessons." Beautiful.

[@happylobsterpatatas]

I can see how the weapons practice has influenced Wing Chun here 🙂

[@gunnerhiro394]

Why do u use explosiveness in you upper body but not lower body explosiveness in unison? I notice a majority of martial artists do this.

[@dorgoron]

reminds me also of goju ryu karate a bit, I don't know if you'd agree.

[@jean4j_]

It makes a lot of sense! Okinawan Karate is quite close to white crane and wing chun kung fu. Also, the fact that karate interpretation of southern kung fu is more stiff and more rigid, I guess in that sense it's a bit shock wave oriented rather than pure flow like in Wing Chun. What do you think?

[@kevinruesch2864]

Taichi push hands is progressive training similar to tiger claw drills and iron arms training you see it in the old movies they go from one posture positioning to the next nobody stands still in a fight or self defense situation unless trained too 🤔 when my sifu was beating me up he had to keep up with me too do so 😉

[@lymariecanliar4883]

What is the difference between this external wing Chun & international wing Chun internal

[@thebuddhaofknowledgemichae2486]

When you hit his arm. Focus in tipping his center. Then attack.

[@zibtihaj3213]

Great vid , Adam how many people you know that can generate power from that short distance ?

[@malakatan3235]

Most who train kung fu correctly can do it

[@keithmyers8268]

Chuk Ging is "short power." It can be part of every technique. It is part of Wing Chun, its just a shame that more people don't realize this! They associate "inch power" only with the "one inch punch" ala Bruce Lee. Good stuff! But you don't need to imply you are taking it from Hakka Arts. ;-)

[@keithmyers8268]

Definitely part of the dummy form, especially the Po Pai Section, if people understand what they are doing!

[@keithmyers8268]

The caution against "shocking" the arms of the opponent would be....if you do it at the wrong time you can just knock the opponent back. Then you have to close the gap again in order to finish him. Which can go against the Wing Chun idea of staying in close and finishing the opponent with one exchange.

[@keithmyers8268]

@Aiden Fisher Different names for essentially the same thing!

[@keithmyers8268]

@Aiden Fisher When it comes to Wing Chun, I still maintain its just different names for essentially the same thing....whether you call it "short power", "inch power", or "shock power." Not much difference.

[@keithmyers8268]

@Aiden Fisher Do you realize you just supported what I wrote? We weren't talking about "sensing jing" at all. That is a totally different thing. But you threw that in as a straw man. And you just stated that inch jing is a form of short jing. I had written...."they are essentially the same thing." And if you want to seem all authoritative and intelligent, you really should learn to use complete words rather than abbreviating everything! Btw...who is YOUR instructor? Do you even practice Wing Chun, or are you a Tai Chi guy? Its funny when someone can't support what they are saying and start throwing out the lineage thing and asking who your instructor is!

[@Spartan21blue]

You try that against an opponent that is not passive , an opponent that throws fast combination of kicks and punches with real intent , and punches that are not wing Chun punches well, it simple doesn’t work when pressure tested.

[@johnrogers8099]

You’re a keyboard fighter who analyzes things like a video gamer would. We who train real fighting arts know the fight is over in seconds, and it’s never like the fake mma bullshido (it’s bullshido when people think it’s realistic). Lmao, you would drop bricks if you felt the force of any trained fighter that doesn’t have mma training.

[@downloadqi]

Is this at all similar to the Tai Chi concept of Faijin? Thanks

[@daveallen5342]

Does the tension of the opponent matter?

[@TinekaJasonPalmer]

Yes in most cases.

[@TinekaJasonPalmer]

Tension of the opponent makes it easier to deliver a more effective 'shock'

[@daveallen5342]

@@TinekaJasonPalmer I was showing a military member who trained hard and was stronger than an ox like much much much stronger than some UFC guy who cuts weight ... stuff ... we were actually in church. But it occurred to me to show effectiveness ... sure if they tense up that will effect things. I guess there is always something even if it doesn't overcome them it creates a response. But what are your thoughts on shock then?

[@Spartan21blue]

Looks good but does it work against a real fighter . Who comes at you with real intent . . Joe sayer of William Cheung lineage took on a Japanese kyokushin fighter K1 tournament 1995 and got knocked out early in the first round . You will find this fight on utube

You want the heaviness of a sledge hammer the swiftness of a sword and the sensitivity of a mantis much of my training comes from shaolin kempo the other from the Indonesian some from western boxing I definitely find your teaching some of the best I've seen on social media but where I'm usually the smaller one I feel trying to stand my positioning relying only on my posture and small experience in deflection im better moving target then a stationary why do sifu's not inspire the students to move more in drills all the fights where masters were beaten is because they did not move so the train ran them over
