I love this man's interpretation and analysis of the forms. It always amazes me how every individual has a different perspective on what they get out of the forms, kinda of like the type of abstract art that if you stare at it long enough, the image pops out. Anyway, love the content!!!

[@thevillageyid]

So true, I think that's why I love wing chun, its simple but also complex and has many layers to it.

[@LunaticReason]

Ha I love the Eagle Fang tshirt.

[@schoolchoice2176]

Gum Sao can also be very effective to defend knees in clinch situations.

[@JensAndJovie]

I like the Eagle Fang... Isn't it great? There is a lot of truth in this Netflix series, and a lot of lessons for life. I like your approach on Martial Arts, Adam. It is very inspiring, keep up the good work.

[@axelstone3131]

Eagle Fang Karate. QUIET!

[@hiddenpathwingchun5045]

Great video. I agree in terms of not using Gum Sao to "block". Blades of arms to "cut". Gum Sao to "press". It works well on the "side" of the line or to jam an opponent while moving in. This is often taught improperly. Good work.

[@JEM-fo6rs]

Love your break down of gum sao. I definitely use it as a “check” to attack the balance. I use it more like a deflection into a bounce off counter.

[@angelodimzon8061]

This is the guy how I’m learning wing chun this guy is my master in virtual reality

[@sway71]

Love the explanation. I feel like its definitely more applicable as you close distance. Once you're there it's super useful as a pressing motion if you're already in contact or a stuffing motion if the punch or kick is just getting started.

[@alejandroavila6219]

Hola muy buena los videos

[@jamescook2948]

Thank you Sifu great stuff as always. I appreciate seeing the true application of the art, it's rare and forgotten Because of you it is still alive. Very Great full. ✌️🙏🖖😎☯️

[@credibility63]

I was taught gum sau as a pressing movement when you already have contact. I've never seen it applied as a block.

[@tristantse5900]

Great video

[@mobiledit900]

We don't really use gum sao in WSL wing-chun. We use a low pak sao for deflecting straight kicks and we indeed rather use a gan sao.

[@Kcseales]

I'm not of this guy's lineage. But using gum sao to protect against a front snap kick has way more supporting power. Plus it hurts the opponent WAY more! Except Don't stand and face the guy. He has direct access to a straight punch right after. , But instead step to the side at a 45° angle while shifting the horse to get even more power in the "press" of the gum sao. The shift in angle protects against follow-up straight attacks from the opponent, as now they would have to adjust their body mechanics to hit you successfully.

[@florisvanlingen]

@@Kcseales If you are talking about a low frontleg snapkick to the groin with its force going up...you dont want to use a gum sao which has your elbow out and the force going down. Hence I said we use a pak that comes in from the side and goes over while you shift or we just lift our front leg or step in or out. That pak is basicly in the last few movements of chum kiu: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5TOeXhqjZ2si80. Also the difference might be subtle. One thing to note Wong shun Leung changed certain wing-chun techniques in the forms and dummy for the better even convincing Ip man. He and his lineage is very respected in the wing-chun community. He was probably Ip man's best student since he tested his skills the most and was also bruce lee's teacher. Wong had a western student called barry lee which was probably wong's best student. Wong said he'd had put more wing-chun in barry than anyone else just as barry put more into wing-chun than anyone. Here's an article about the man: www.vingtsun.net.au/BLVTMAA%20The%20Machine.htm

[@Kcseales]

@@florisvanlingen I don't personally know how you do gum sau, but yes you do. Change the open hand over to a fist and I guarantee the harder you kick the easier your leg is to break. Do you have an example of how you do your gum sau? I can help you get a better understanding of what I'm saying if I see how you would perform it.

[@robertopavez3222]

hahaha Cris be like: OOS!!

[@BASED-SENSEI]

The man!!!

[@RFFVGAll-Stars]

I'm Love Your Video 👍👏

[@dinisnhagacaite4694]

Good

[@daneck100]

In using gum sau would you recommend angling or in such a way repositioning your centerline out of the direction of the attack to deflect the attack away from you for instance checking at the elbow and then a combination to the upper area for the upper job or head area ?

[@cprpremiumhandymanservices3735]

groovy

[@ZRoFiak]

I think doing Gum sau this inproper way can really cause wrist injury.

[@Simon2k17]

I disagree. Adam is not telling you the whole picture. Even if you round your back, blocking a guys strike that's 100 more pounds than you would still affect your balance. He understands proper alignment and sinking through internal power training. Adam has a different quality with his body than other people. That's why he can take that much force.

Cobra Kai never dies

[@thevillageyid]

What's the difference between a gan sau and a gwat sau?

[@baptistegaussen8721]

Eagle Fang Karate: one upvote.

How About Can You Do A Full Nelson Defense In 2021.

[@robbanbobban2]

If someone does a full nelson to you, you're screwed.

[@RFFVGAll-Stars]

Look. It's New Self-Defense.

[@screamtheguy6425]

I like how a cartoon network-based channel is asking for realistic self defense content.

[@RFFVGAll-Stars]

It's GoAnimate Network. Not Cartoon Network.
