Does size matter in a fight? - Wing Chun, Kung Fu Report - Adam Chan

[@goldenturtle111]

I have fought against much bigger and stronger guys all my life and I fare pretty well with them, but I often get problems with smaller and faster guys now.

[@jaehwan123]

Would love to hear more about Adam's experience in Hong Kong!

[@nickdobrov]

Size matters a lot! I'm 6'1 160 pounds. Most of my training partners are 200+ pounds (and taller as well). It's like going up against a bear. I had sparred one guy around 300 pounds. That was going up against a mountain. All those theories have to be actually applicable in reality. On a side note, all my training partners are bigger, because I looked for aggressive guys to train/fight with. Needed them to actually go for it, not be scared. And it's easy psychologically to go against a smaller guy like me.

[@axelstone3131]

I’m really torn on this. I don’t think it matters as much as people say. If I strike you in the eyes, throat or groin it’s going to effect you just as much as anyone else 🤷‍♂️ Obviously bigger people can throw you around a lot easier and they do have the extra “weight” you have to deal with but other than that, that’s it.

[@lifeishealinghealthwellnes1979]

I agree with Sifu Adam 100%. Now I frequently train with guys outside my weight class and learn how to uproot them and take their center. Its all about the skillful manipulation of their leverage in a non telegraphic manner. Smaller and lighter guys I just do basic one hand or 2 hand chi sao and help them to find their root and center.

No, it isn't. If it were, he would be teaching the real TRADITIONAL SYSTEM, and not some crappy, knock-off system that is missing key elements, such as proper footwork, the angled step and body rotation towards the attack, and the use of ALL TEN CONCEPTS, which takes out ALL INITIAL FLAWS AND STIFFNESS that is found in the crappy modified system, and gives the traditional its INCREDIBLE flexibility that is missing in ALL modified systems!!!

[@oneshadowdragon]

@@mightymeatmonstaeverybody loves kung fu fighting Adam is fast as lighting.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

@@oneshadowdragon ALL wing chun masters are! It's because of the elbow behind the fist, and the vertical fist, which aligns the joints and allows for maximum power, without any power loss across the gap, as in the elbow out method. They also only travel a very short distance since their hands are out in the center. This cuts the distance in HALF, making us able to punch TWICE AS FAST as any boxer!!!

@@mightymeatmonsta Are you suggesting Mr. Chan is not teaching proper Wing Chun? Because I would be more than happy to see a video (or videos) from you that explains the "real" traditional system, and what Mr. Chan's "missing elements" are. BTW, I'm training Mr. Chan's solo system, and having had personal martial art experience for the better part of 15 years, I can say that I don't see anything lacking in his system thus far. So feel free to put your money where your mouth is and enlighten us. :D

[@outofthebox7]

The question is weird. By rule... Size matters during a fight. (Handeling attacker) Size matters for the outcome of the fight. (Winning attacker) BUT... not just size. That's why we see skinny guys beating huge guys. Also, you can train in particular ways to execute only techniques that will surely stop a fight BEFORE his size will in actuality matter. E.g.breaking/damaging a person's eye with the knuckle of your index finger. Or, breaking one's knee, "bending" it backwards. Or, chopping him on the side of neck very strongly. So if you pull these things off with one aggressive fighter, then size, seeing from the outcome, did not matter to you in that fight. You were fast, focused, and strong and without moral withdraw/delay. Having said that, not many people will have such ill intent against their attackers. They care more about staying safe rather then destroying someone; this is a different mentality, than that of the killer's mentality which is not worth it and immoral. More can be said, but point is, it's possible to make size not matter before it might; it takes discipline, focus, speed, strength, decisiveness, understanding.

[@Ten_Mil_Will]

I have sparred with guys bigger and smaller than me. I have also had to use force while arresting people bigger and smaller than me. I believe it is NOT "size" that matter but rather strength and reach which are (typically) related to size. However I know big weak guys and little strong guys, I know tall guys with short arms and short guys with ape arms. My trainer is 20-30# lighter than me and could probably beat me stupid. I heard a saying I like: "How much does size matter in a fight? Less than big guys think and more than little guys want to admit" Another one "weight classes were NOT created to protect big fighters from little ones". Once again, I totally agree with Adam who I look forward to meeting one day 😀

[@arthurwatts1680]

I'm less concerned about the size of people around me - and we have some absolute monsters for a town this size - than whether or not they've been treating themselves to the cocktail of drugs and alcohol that our scumbag lawyers roll out as a standard defence in assault cases. Even the smallest woman can turn into a complete handful given enough pharmaceuticals - throw Bundaberg Rum into that mix and that's a 120lb feral cat screaming abuse at you for no apparent reason. Thanks for the vid.

[@jorgkaufmann6363]

Of course, size matters a lot. For sure when that is height, arm and leg lenght. E.g. if somebody is significantly taller than you, it is similar to an uphill battle. Their fists reach you before you can reach them. You are in the range of their kicks before you get close enough to kick.

[@tjl4688]

Yes it matters, especially if you end up in a grappling situation. Size doesn't make a larger person unbeatable, but it makes it much harder.

[@Ten_Mil_Will]

Bingo! It is a factor but NOT necessarily the DECIDING factor.

[@grantsolomon7660]

Speed is a big factor.Speed and manoeuvrebilty.

[@Ten_Mil_Will]

@@grantsolomon7660 yep! Not just in who wins but also in who generates how much power. An analogy I like to use is - a 5.56x45 (AR15) bullet weighs 55gr, an FMJ 9x19 (9mm) weighs 124gr. That's more than double the size. Which one will cause greater tissue disruption, upon impact? That's because the 5.56 is traveling at 2800fps compared to the 9mm's (what?) 1,000FPS. Speed matters A LOT.

[@grantsolomon7660]

Most of my instructors have been much smaller than me but they could punch like meteorites.One instructor was so fast and powerful it was rediculous.His secret was blinding speed combined with iron palm training.That extra conditioning made his hands tougher and gave them more density.A blow from someone like that is really hard to absorb and the damage is deeper, just a little tap from him really let you know how percussive it is.

[@grantsolomon7660]

However you need a certain degree of strength and conditioning in the hands or they may get hurt.

[@screamtheguy6425]

Being 5'9" 140-155 lbs, it is not easy when many people in the UK are closer to 6' or more and weigh more than me. The biggest guy I trained with was 6'4" and weighed 100lbs more than me, it was difficult to deal with his weight so I had to rely on my relaxation and sensitivity to deal with his pressure.

[@jashardwallington]

Size can help but not a determining factor

[@mightymeatmonsta]

No, wrong! If you know the correct wing chun system, the traditional, you need not worry about size. You will use deflection and angling to move out of the way of the attack, and the body rotation pulls you away from the attack as well (allowing you to see it coming and stop it), and this allows you to enter in quickly and SAFELY!! If someone says size matters in wing chun, then they just don't know the wing chun system!

[@josheternal]

[@jemscorner4916]

Well said..

[@williambreazeal387]

You might be interested in Hendrik Santos material. He inherited the Cho family wing chun which was passed to the Cho family by the Red Boat opera performer Yik Kam in the 1800's. It looks like a well preserved old wing chun system. I think you would find the usage of angulation and the body work to be quite interesting. It prefers to operate at an even closer range than Ip Man's wing chun, and it has a different conception of how to work the hands, close distance, and generate advantageous angles. As an example, they are one of the wc systems that uses circling hands in their Chi Sao, and inside they emphasize controlling the opponents lower body through knee pressure.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

Right. This temporarily immobilizes the leg, making it difficult to rotate, causing a significant drop in power. You must be able to rotate to produce that power! Actually trapping BOTH the arm and leg, and dropping the back knee two inches, will do exactly that! It will effectively lock your opponent's knee in place, stop his upper body from rotating if the arm is trapped as well, and also would give you FORWARD INTENT, which is also very important in wing chun and one of the ten concepts!! This allows you to control his structure and break it easily if necessary.

[@Outrider74]

Sifu Adam is correct; you have to adapt your training to fit the fight. A technique can be effective yet useless if not trained practically, including adapting that technique to size.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

This shows how little you really know about wing chun! You do NOT have to adapt the techniques for size or strength because you use DEFLECTION and ANGLING in your step (with a body rotation towards the attack to see it coming and stop it!! This is very important when facing a boxer who uses the hook!), which gradually dissipates the energy down the arm of every wing chun technique used! The corkscrew motion of the wing chun techniques, along with the angling and body rotation allows us to stop ANY attack with power, even side or roundhouse kicks! This is because we not only use corkscrewing, angled step and a body rotation, but by ENTERING IN and ROTATING, you actually pull yourself away from the attack to face it, allowing us to EASILY, QUICKLY and SAFELY enter in!! If done correctly, the techniques and footwork allow you to stop any size opponent.

[@SIMOHAYHA92]

Lol that's y I watch an listen....I concusiously kno this bet have never thought bout it like that thanks for break down

[@samernajia]

I so totally agree with this. Tactics and strategy: you will defend differently against someone bigger who might be stronger but have more trouble with inertia, or someone of similar strength or size or skill which could match your natural attributes. Key is to be able to adapt on the fly as needed. When I spar against someone who is heavier (I am at 230, 5'10") and taller I might keep clear of close quarters but cut off the legs and do less with brute force and more with redirection and changing footwork. Smaller but just as stocky folks might be faster and stronger so I don't try to bulldoze them either. Sometimes it's animals, Tiger versus Crane, Snake versus Mantis. Like everything else, it always depends....

[@mightymeatmonsta]

You obviously DO NOT do wing chun, do you? If you do, you are doing it TOTALLY WRONG! There is only ONE WAY to do wing chun against ALL opponents!! In REAL wing chun, the object is to close the distance AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, using INITIAL CONTACT to determine the type and direction of the strike. From there, contact will determine the type of response. For example, if he leaves his hand out or is slow to retract his hand, then a simple deflection past center will open up a line of attack. From there, you enter in, using an angled step and body rotation towards the attack to see it and stop it, trapping the arm and leg, and finish the fight quickly. If he is a boxer and retracts his hand, then you must MAKE AND MAINTAIN CONTACT, FOLLOWING IN HIS CENTER OF MASS (AS PER MASTER WONG SHUN LEUNG, KING OF THE TALKING HANDS), USING AN ANGLED STEP AND BODY ROTATION AGAIN, TRAPPING HIS ARM AND LEG AND AGAIN FINISHING THE FIGHT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! The idea in wing chun is NOT to stay in mid range long enough for your opponent to have MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS at his strikes, kicks or TAKE DOWNS!! By moving in quickly, you take away these attacks, and by moving to the side, you take away any chance for clinching or elbows because you are now out of reach of his counter, being at a 45 degree angle to the outside of his attacking arm. If he tries to move away, your foot, which is next to his, and with your back knee bent and sunk down 2 inches, will effectively LOCK his leg in place, making it difficult to move without you knowing it. Having his arm and leg trapped also effectively temporarily immobilizes his body from rotating, which stops him from producing any power. Now you have complete control of his structure, which allows you to effectively do whatever you need to, safely, to finish the fight quickly. THAT is the proper way to do wing chun! Any other way leaves you vulnerable to the hook! Especially if you use LINEAR footwork, as in ALL boxing derivatives and ALL modified wc systems! The hook goes beyond your peripheral (side) vision, and is invisible until it is too late to see and stop!! Side stepping and a body rotation allows you to see the incoming attack, and protects BOTH sides of your body! Linear movement only protects the one side, and leaves the other side vulnerable to attack.

[@oneshadowdragon]

@@mightymeatmonsta most kung fu is trash though I took a peak in one of their gyms it looked like a yoga dance studio. That's why muay thai is the best way to go because it literally welcomes all stand up arts.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

@@oneshadowdragon Not traditional wing chun, that is the only system that is complete, and has no initial flaws or stiffness, if you know the whole traditional system, and are proficient in it. But what you said is true! If you are talking about some of the more FLOWERY SYSTEMS, such as Wushu, then you are absolutely correct! Muay thai is crap too! Sorry, but it is incomplete, it is loaded with inherent flaws and stiffness, and doesn't have to great footwork (angled, with the body rotation towards the attack), which leaves you directly in front of your opponent, vulnerable to the hook!! ALL boxing derivatives, from boxing, to karate, to muay thai, has these inherent flaws and stiffness, and they are ALL incomplete as a system, lacking some of the key elements, such as REALISTIC SCENARIO TRAINING, WEAPONS TRAINING AND DEFENSE, AND MULTIPLE OPPONENT TRAINING, which makes the training complete. TWC HAS all this, grappling (wing chun), locks and throws, arm bars, sweeps, palm strikes, elbows, knees, great stand up, and realistic psychological training, which helps you to remain calm and focused. Ring training does not train you for that! Only street training will! And you MUST train realistically if you want to have an automatic and instantaneous response to any attack!

[@patrickbut-not-a-saint9418]

Very interesting. Many thanks. I think size really matters. That's why everything from boxing to BJJ to Judo has divisions. In a real fight certain moves are simply out based on the opponent's size, weight and athleticism. Putting an arm bar on someone very strong with experience and good reaction speed is a big ask. Likewise twisting in and under a lapel grab against someone several inches shorter than you isn't your first option either. If you have to fight at least fight smart.

[@waynecook1798]

I would agree." I trained under sifu Duncan leung and his son was 10 years old then. I was new and his son walked all over me. I was a big guy " he domonited me. Lol. So big does not mean bad.

[@worldtraveler8613]

I have been in a bunch of street fights with guys bigger than me. Not 300lb guys but guys that outweigh me by 20-30 lbs usually. But thankfully i have always either won or draw. Never got beat up. What i noticed is that agression and speed counts for a lot in a street fight. You cant change the difference in size. Nothing you can do about that. But i try to show more agression and speed and those things we CAN control. Thats one way to compensate for lack of size. In boxing and mma we watch smaller fighters beat bigger fighters all the time. You can demoralize your opponent or at least lower their confidence by matching or exceeding their level of agression. And also i believe in physical fitness. I have been lifting weights for years. And especially do a lot of back exercises for functional strength in a grappling situation. Im more often than not as strong or stronger even though the other guy is bigger, cause im such a gym rat

[@Tfaonc]

Simple question to illustrate it "Would you rather be hit by a 16oz hammer or a 4lb hammer?" Skill, ferocity, intelligence have value too. But there no replacement for displacement. It's just physics.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

That is a good example. The 16 oz. hammer would be the boxer, and the 4 lb. hammer would be the wing chun guy, because he uses his ENTIRE bodyweight behind the punch because of the elbow-in method and the vertical fist, which leaves the arm socket intact in the shoulder socket, allowing power to flow freely down the arm and to the opponent. As a basic equation, power = speed x mass. So if the arm is only the 16 oz. hammer, then how can you get as much power as a 4 lb hammer, that comes straight at you? The arm is only a FRACTION of the entire bodyweight, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to get the same kind of power, especially at short distances of 1ft. or less!! Again, as Matt HW said, IT'S ALL PHYSICS!!

[@Tfaonc]

@@mightymeatmonsta not bad, but the idea that other Arts (including "Western" ones) don't use their body weight is a fallacy. Boxers absolutely use their weight.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

@@Tfaonc No, they don't if they use the elbow-out method with the horizontal fist. Just by lifting the elbow out, you dislocate the arm from the socket, and energy gets dropped along the gap, much as a resistor in a circuit. Why do you think that ALL boxing derivatives must TORQUE UP and go past center, when wing chun guys, just go straight down the center and have just as much, or MORE power from short distances, such as one foot down to ONE INCH?? They only use the arm and shoulder, which weighs only a FRACTION of the entire body. We move forward with the elbow in and a vertical fist, which keeps the arm in the socket and allows us to use our entire bodyweight because we ARE directly behind the punch, and YOU ARE NOT!! Get it now?

[@Tfaonc]

@@mightymeatmonsta Ok captain caps lock. Chill out a smidge. The elbow up arm position and horizontal fist do not stop a boxer from using their body weight. Those positions simply force them to use arm and shoulder muscle to stabilize their joints instead of bone and ligament structure.

[@mightymeatmonsta]

@@Tfaonc Yes, it does because it dislocates the arm socket from the shoulder socket. It only allows you to use your bodyweight if your body is DIRECTLY BEHIND THE PUNCH, which it is NOT, when you throw any punch with the elbow out, and especially when you do the hook. RIGHT!! Now think about this! The stabilizer muscles in the arm and shoulder are just TENDONS and LIGAMENTS, which can only take a very small amount of pressure before they collapse! SO, that means that if you keep the elbow out, you are consistently tensing these tendons and ligaments, causing FATIGUE in the arm and shoulder!! This means that the elbow out is WEAKER than the elbow in method, so less force need be applied to break your structure in your elbow and shoulder. When you use the elbow in method and VERTICAL fist, you keep the alignment of the joints and the arm in the shoulder socket, so those tendons and ligaments are left relaxed, which not only uses way more energy, but also the accumulation of power in the arm and down through the fist to the opponent. Not only that, what about the fact that you OPEN YOURSELF UP FOR ATTACK by going past center?? You haven't addressed that MAJOR FLAW in your system! You see, the boxer needs to torque up, not like the wing chun guy, who can produce power in a STRAIGHT LINE anywhere from one foot down to one inch!!

[@WuzuquanSpain]

100% It all comes down to physics. A smaller person can use physics more efficiently to overcome the size advantage a larger opponent has. But if you are small and you are only used to moving a 20kg kettle-bell around and you try to move a 30kg kettle-bell without adjusting your technique at all, you will get an unpleasant surprise. Then imagine the kettle-bell is trying to kill you.

This was very interesting. So I'm thinking... for an asian woman like myself, most guys/attackers are always bigger than us. But most male training partners are also going to be either the same size or bigger and stronger than us. Does that make it a training advantage of sorts?

[@nickdobrov]

Yes, it does. However, if you want to test if stuff works in reality, you need to find guys who will actually try to knock your teeth in and bash your head in (in gear, with safety considerations, of course). Actually attack you, not fool around trying to show off or get a date with you. As a guy, I didn't have the "get me on a date" problem, but did meet a lot of guys who are punch shy (afraid to hurt/get hurt).

Instilling a false sense of security, in her, that WILL get her hurt. Push chix, push em hard, let em know - us guys are strong and we're aggressive. That way they aren't surprised when they find it out on the street. This is also why I think women should train with guys they are NOT familiar with. Get them out of that comfort zone where joking around and "flirt fighting" take place.
