Wow well done Sean! Far out!

Your student is good too

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

Thank you, yes, he has good skills.

Good day sir. If you're ever in Canada, we should meet and play chi sau.... I have invited a student in Saskatoon who claims to be your student to please come by and also play chi sau. Chi sau is what we play the most. I look forward to meeting you. I do respect your passion for the path that is wing chun.

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

Thank you, I would be happy too.

Very cool!

Can’t imagine that would have been easy, but looks like you did a great job

[@pascodavid]

Haha well done Alan says..hehe

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

Yes, I said Well done, as he did well. The pressure test was can you control your emotions under pressure, can you stick to trying to apply your Wing Chun skill, can you stay relaxed and not give up. He did all these things, so that's a good job for the test he was given. It is hard for a student to deal with this sort of pressure and not lose everything. Of course, when I give him less pressure he does better in attack and stronger defense. But if that's all you train then you can't see where you need to improve when the pressure is high.

@@alanorrwingchunacademy1302 To be fair he looks like a complete beginner.

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

It is all relative and not important. We are training and in the training he did well. He has had a kickboxing fight using his Wing Chun and did very well, that's far from a beginner. Most WC instructors have not his experience. He helps train my pro fighters and is an important part of the Team, so he is not a beginner in my group.

Wow, Sifu just obliterated that student's centerline, over & over. I would really like to see the instruction that came after. I'm certain Sifu would not let that prime teachable moment go to waste. Make no mistake, I'm not saying that I would have performed much better. In fact, I may have fared much worse, but I'll wager my last dollar that Sifu later explained how he was able to seemingly effortlessly dominate & then provided drills/instruction to vastly build up that student's skills, & I would love to see that, & see the resulting significant improvement. All said, well done to that student. Sifu Orr is obviously not a training partner to be taken lightly, & this student seems to take his approach with grace & humility.

Trained people do not go out of the way to 'dominate' each other. They train in order to raise each other to their standard, strengthen one another, and defend themselves against ignorant people who are not trained.

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

There are many ways to train. Students must train slow to learn applications and principles. They must also train with each other to drill and hone skills. Then they need to test under pressure to see if they can hold it together, even when they are overwhelmed. Otherwise in a real situation they will mostly freeze up. When you train fighters you know the truth of pressure in combat. This is a very safe pressure test. Nobody is getting hurt but the mental pressure is very hard for the student to control. In this clip my student did that very well indeed. Not everyone that you have to defend against in a real evet is untrained or untough. You have to be able to deal with anything. How would you train someone to deal with real pressure without adding pressure? You must be out of the comfort zone, that's basic 101.

[@alanorrwingchunacademy1302]

Never. I don't hurt my students.

@Looney Bin THE hallmark of a good martial artist is control, especially self-control. A good martial artist can move at full speed and only contact with the lightest of touch.
