Elbow Control Is Essential To Being Good At Wing Chun

Elbow control is a crucial aspect of Wing Chun, and in this video, Sifu Francis Fong demonstrates why it is so important. By maintaining control of your elbows, you can effectively control your upper body and gain an advantage over your opponent when entering into combat. Sifu Fong provides expert guidance on how to properly execute elbow control techniques.

Sifu Francis Fong just WOOOW. Absolutly legit Gran Master. Half elbow strike watched many times and is just lighting fast... thanks Budo Bros

[@joebarnhardt5751]

Master Fong is a brilliant teacher anyone who has a chance to train with him is lucky.

[@davidpowelson4817]

I wish I trained with him 25 years ago. I like how he is able to functionlize Wing Chun. I wasn't able to make Wing Chun Functional in my 20s.

[@LibertarianRF]

Wing chun is a kinesthetic foundation for all other athletic movement?

[@stevenm7408]

Excellent teacher, great video, thanks for posting this.

[@WingChun108]

Glad you enjoyed it

He would probably give great advice on longevity fitness well into higher age

[@bahadaboys04]

Very informative

[@BudoBrothers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@timothyscott1951]

very good stuff here 😁

[@hala696]

Love the content! When is he going to make a course with you guys?

[@BudoBrothers]

We have not lined that up yet but hopefully he does

[@markalford5406]

He looks very good but how much time does it take?

[@GrooveSignature]

Always wondered how sift fong will matchup with sigung Bruce Lee in training

[@hankwang8324]

Good stuff. Thanks.

You can see the power of the elbow in action with the Flying Elbow Drop by the legendary Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Just don't use it in MMA. Fighters may not strike their opponent from a twelve o'clock position to a six o'clock position with their elbow.

[@LunaticReason]

True but not all martial arts arent specifically meant for mma so those restrictions dont always apply.

[@FarmerDrew]

@@LunaticReason as a man obviously training for sumo, I heartily agree

[@Erhuero]

@@LunaticReason A violent altercation on the street lasts an average of 30 seconds so I wouldn’t expect someone to fight a whole fight using that technique but if you practice that technique properly using a segment of it can be the difference between someone knocking you off balance and doing whatever they where planing. You can’t us everything your favourite MMA fighter does if you’re fighting for your like or trying to escape an attacker.

[@MustAfaalik]

@Caramel. Yes, at beginners level it is mindboggling & not effective. Only when practiced with internal training will it become destructive but few ever reach that level.

[@caramelshorty4154]

[@HarborSite-7]

Always gaining valuable insight when watching and listening to Sifu Fong. He takes Wing Chun from conceptual to practical application.

[@erichibler2112]

Great insights from the master 👊💯

Wing Chun only works on a fully compliant partner who doesn't fight back.

[@jimmydills7226]

Sure man. Go tell Bruce Lee that.

[@ScoxGungFu]

@@jimmydills7226 Bruce threw out pretty much all of Wing Chun bruv, because it wasn't useful in a fight.

[@elsorzis5692]

​@@ScoxGungFu Bruce Lee did not finish studying the system. Besides, Jeet Kune Do still uses a lot of WC principles and trapping. It works if you know how to use it.

[@ScoxGungFu]

@@elsorzis5692 Wing Chun is useless in a real fight, it simply doesn't work. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a matter of fact.

[@elsorzis5692]

@@ScoxGungFu No, it's not. That's just your opinion, buddy. There is a cage fighter called Qi La La who is popular for bringing Wing Chun to the Cage. Tony Ferguson, Jon Jones and Anderson Silva also have used Wing Chun in their fights in MMA. Everything works if you know what you are doing.

[@Lovellyoungwolf]

Lol this is funny to see. I boxed for 15 years and wing Chun fur 10 ish. This is exactly how I boxed. It's really neat to see this.
