HOW TO TRAP A Non Wing Chun Practitioner

[@GaryMaWingChun]

The World lost two great legends this past weekend. My thoughts go out to their families, students, friends, and to their fans around the world. Ip Ching : July 7, 1936 - January 25, 2020 ✿ ☯️ Kobe Bryant : August 23, 1978 - January 26, 2020 🏀🐍

Ip Ching is a massive loss to the Wing Chun community. I hope practitioners understand the depth of secret knowledge lost with his passing. God bless you, brother. Thank you for acknowledging a master most seem to disregard.

Better than 95% of wing chun stuff I’ve seen

Thanks!!

Love seeing you practice head movement! Wing Chun used in fight videos often consists of nothing more than a bit of Wing Chun footwork and a whole lot of spastic chain punching. So important to train various movements to make sure you can apply them under stress.

I just wanted to say that this was a great video and thank you for making it. While I don't currently practice Wing Chun due to lack of a teacher/school for it that is of quality (I spent several months under a poor Sifu) I have trained in other arts extensively, but I would like to learn some Wing Chun, from home if need be. I suffered from a back injury about five or so years ago, so my capabilities are limited in regards to what were once my strengths. (I can no longer do high kicks or all that much grappling.) I have also been doing some Boxing from home and I would like to mix it with Wing Chun. Does this seem like a good idea to train in both? My line of thinking was that since I rarely have access to a training partner, Boxing was a good way to train mostly on my own. However, I feel that this would leave gaps in my practice since Wing Chun has a lot more to offer than just hand strikes. I also sometimes have a hard time with throwing uppercuts and occasionally some hooks cause me some back pain aggravation due to the specific movement involved. Also I feel that Boxing may not be a style that I can practice once my younger years are behind me (I'm currently 27) and I want to practice martial arts for the rest of my life. Should I mix Boxing with Wing Chun, or should I focus on one as opposed to the other? If so, which do you think would benefit me more even though I may not always have access to a training partner/equipment? (I don't have a Jong but I'm saving for a decent punching bag.) Anyway, thank you again for all of your work and for your time as well as your consideration. I wish you all of the best and that you continue to find success in all aspects in your life. :D

Where are you? Do you have anyone skilled nearby to touch hands with?

[@Andy-ud1gd]

Boxing and Wing Chun contains diverging principles, you should not mix them if you care about learning Wing Chun.

Thank you for the well wishes Ronin 6. I'm sorry to hear that you suffered from a back injury which limits your mobility. I don't know the extent of your injury and I'm certainly not a doctor, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. I certainly wouldn't do anything that could make the condition worse. I used to want to power through everything, and I've realized that it is much better to work _around_ an injury than through an injury. Maybe you could use less body rotation and be more conservative in your movements, more straight punches than hooks, and use your legs more instead of bending at the waist. I think you said it best. If certain movements are painful, whether they be boxing or wing chun movements, I would advise against doing them. And at the same time, someone once said, "don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do". A balanced approach is usually best. I hope this was helpful.
