"Inch Power " Short work - Wing Chun, Kung Fu Report - Adam Chan

[@jubtech]

Awesome!

[@johncoster4670]

After studying chow gar tong long i have felt this power, it is so shocking it's hard to describe, it scatters your energy, intent and in a lot if cases makes you feel physically ill....oh and bloody hurts

[@katedonlan7143]

Be sure you warm up before using, it can backfire

[@JosephEGlaser]

how do you express it with kicks or knees. i have sometimes done this using my knees to strike when moving my stance to disrupt my training partner's structure, but how do you do this with typical knee strikes or kicks?

[@HIMfan0805]

this guy knows his shit

[@43trebor]

So much knowledge .brilliant

[@albertv2977]

Been wanting to enroll in wing chun classes especially seeing your teachings. It’s quite impossible to find a sifu here in my country, Philippines. Ended up having to do self study instead.

[@dragonman1346]

One of the best teachers

[@realherbalism1017]

Hey I never see that guy anymore, what happened to him?

[@jamesfoong9252]

I practice white eyebrow and this is a good demonstration of tan to. technically you're not going backwards, but sinking your waist, pulling in your buttocks and concaving your back. You're going back only in the sense it's like you're slumping into an armchair and the midpoint of your back is extending backward. Essentially you're tightening your structure in such a way that you're generating force off the ground. In any event, adam performs this better than a lot of pak mei practitioners

[@thomasda3482]

Very good explanation of power short power

[@andysun73]

in tai chi or bagua even, we do single push hands with a partner to develop internal power for strikes. i was wondering if there is an exercise i can do to develope this power if i dont have a partner. great videos by the way.

[@m96920]

Punches are blocks at the same time? Why never seen this in mma fights?

[@Rotaks]

Most unique (for me) and important thing is at 0:37 This "cat move" with your spine.

[@astillero711]

Great example of explosive power

[@johnvadala4657]

You are amazing Sifu.

[@chereseotsanyana768]

great video sifu

[@bloodhyena]

great stuff sir ,been studying wing chun/ trapping hands for a long time and great explanation of spine and wave power .

[@thomasda3482]

Great

[@wilfordgrimley4339]

I love these explanations but would really like to see it in a sparring setting. Under pressure.

[@houseofkungfu2543]

Even if he did you guys wouldn't say anything. Would Just be in awe and hell, you'd be probably forget to like the video

[@doogerdoes5112]

It can also be found in Yau Kun Mun and Bak Mei as well.

[@joaquindelarosa1215]

Would love to see some sparring.

[@9usuck0]

I don't think you would. lol

[@76kamikazi]

Juaquin De La Rosa These guys will never get into a sparring match with a non resisting opponent it will make them look stupid.Their livelihood is based on selling Bs to a uneducated martial art public who is fantasizing about a Ip Man movie and think by learning this crap they can fight like Donni Yen in real life.Has anyone ever wondered why their are no wing chun challenge match ever since Wong chun Leung,I mean if he was hailed as such a invincible fighter I would think the wing chun community would honor his memory by continuing in his philosophy of practicality instead of bull shit.What is the fear wing chun masters.you are constantly been humiliated all over the world by MMA fighters and yet not one of you has stepped up to honor the memory of Wong by showing the effectiveness of wing chun.Its ironic that all and I mean all these Chinese martial art styles have the same damm stories of some great fighter that lived hundreds of years ago with all these CHI powers and what have you and ever since the 20th century not one fighter of any Kung fu style can fight worth a damm.

[@9usuck0]

@@76kamikazi, you know the thing is that no Chinese martial artist cares what you or anyone else thinks bud. They don't engage in this dick measuring contest you seem to be a part of because they don't care. People come to them because they have what people want. If they were all so "bullshit" why where they doing it far before the ipman movies? This video specifically shows him go out of wing Chun. You're 10 ply buddy. I know Adam (the guy in the video) through connections from my teacher. Adam is a good martial artist.

[@joaquindelarosa1215]

@@76kamikazi I know there are many fakes out there, but I believe that kung fu has a lot to offer mma. The more they test themselves thru sparring the better they will be able to apply their kung fu. The problem is that at some point kung fu was watered down and sparring was taken out of the training. This is why I encourage sparring. Many of the best mma fighters are learning wing chun because they sense it has something to offer. Mma is evolving. And now we have kung fu tactics being succesfully applied. Gradually.

[@Thongsai]

That's the reason why they fail miserably. Because their to good " to spar. To deadly, blind faith . It's a White man martial arts nowadays. People who do Wing Chun hangout at Starbucks. People who do Mma /Muay Thai are toughened by hardship and the streets. Facts

[@jamesb.4289]

You go backwards but your partner goes even way further backwards, lol! Ever evolving! Great stuff Adam!

[@LunaticReason]

Really enjoy your videos because you talk about the technical, tactical and scientific principles of the art. I am currently training in Mantis. Question how would you describe the force? Similar to the exhaust of a rocket in that its also pushing backwards?

[@9usuck0]

I mean, I'm really bad at mantis, but it isn't really about the going back. The going back is your reinforcing your structure. You're pushing the ground through them. If I'm understanding it well. Lol

[@screamtheguy6425]

It's like sneezing but obviously your lower back and legs doing it.

[@blockmasterscott]

We have the same thing in Chen Taiiji.

[@pascal0868]

Sifu the power could also be issued by spine coiling backwards too right? What I mean is you are showing power whilst going from swallow to spit but you could do it in reverse?

[@fillsack]

Nice video, good to see someone fighting off the clinch, rather than just accepting it. Short power is overlooked in my opinion, probably because it got relegated to parlour trick by some. Just a good reuse of the onboard power engine.

[@MustAfaalik]

Actually it is what WC is all about but has been interpreted differently by many. How else can one generate power at close quarters. Thx sifu Adam.

[@mattpatterson9128]

"Let's see you do that in the Ring though." I'm not going to use it in the Ring. I don't have any UFC or MMA fantasies. Those Fighters Sacrifice a lot, not everyone can be like them, you want to be a UFC fighter go to their training camp, why go to a Wing Chun school and disrespect it? It doesn't work for those who have Rocky Fantasies, Wing Chun is for the Streets. Soo tired of MMA people who don't know a thing about Traditional arts dog them.

[@davisbarr9112]

Great video ... I feel like Wing Chun was made to be understood with Shaolin as a counterpoint ... What if we were in this range? What if we stuck? What if this was linear? But that's expressing knowledge of Shaolin to even think that in the first place. The greatness of Kung Fu is it's creativity, yet it stays practical in nature ... So it's more creative than muy Thai which is practical but it's more practical than creative arts like systema or capoeira, far more practical you get a lot of very practical ranges and movements. I use my wing Chun with Shaolin and kickboxing jkd at all times but my opinion is you learn wing Chun by itself not because it's the be all end all but to actually learn wing Chun. When you are using Shaolin and wing Chun together I love that ... And then use them together as kickboxing. But really I just love to use Shaolin with wing Chun. Wiing Chun was made with full acknowledgement and awareness of Shaolin. Then I use those two with kickboxing patterns as well, so now it's just a whole lot of really practical thinking and lines. But Shaolin and wing Chun are totally different, yet made to ... Shaolin was made to be improved by learning wing Chun. It just is. It gets so much better. But wing Chun is rounded out by the inclusive Shaolin.

[@davisbarr9112]

I mean if you just watch KZbin TV and other fighter tv ... No right, but tv doesn't matter. Because it's absolutely true. I'd do it but I have a closed head injury and can't MMA or fight professionally due to the closed head injury.

[@ShennThomas93]

We do that same movement at the end of each wooden dummy set in our lineage..

Hakka arts!! Southern Praying Mantis? 😁

[@biglog6402]

Not Wing Chun, this is Bollocks! He knocks his left hand down, just palm strike the idiot in the face with your right hand. So much wrong with this.

[@whiteox9088]

It is valid as a practise. But it will fall apart against a non compliant individual. Extremely if the individual has put time into a sport based style like Muay Thai. I understand the mechanics and yes it's true, but if you spend x amount of time to get it to work and person b spends x amount of time training in athletics, jumping rope and being trained correctly in Muay Thai or Lethwei, you can not compare the end resulting. We have a limited amount of time to train. Now if you enter into practice that skill fully aware that the outcome will be less useable than the guy who trains in Muay Thai the same amount of time, then it's okay. Because it's not fighting, it's health. Like yoga or Tai chi.

[@congdanhvo662]

It's enough for self-defense and against a person who is not a professional fighter

[@banzavatoka5929]

Wrong! Muay Thai is so basic and mainly brute force like boxing. You become better by sparring another Muay Thai fighter. In a real fight you don't stand a chance against a Wing Chun fighter with the skill of Sifu Chan and it does not matter if you have been fighting all your life because Muay Thai is not progressive like Wing Chun. Also when you get older in Muay Thai it's hard to beat a young Muay Thai fighter who has more power than you. In most Kung Fu styles the older you get the more skillful you become. WC is an art. My first MA was Muay Thai. In my training I did hundreds of thousands of kicks and punches and sparred but that was it. No next level knowledge or weapons training. Wing Chun and Kuta can be used to assassinate and do not belong in the octagon. How am I glad to be introduced to these two arts.

[@AndreyDao]

Muay Thai has more rough and tough techniques that are easy to see and easy to avoid... What kind of power are you talking about? about the dead and noticeable?)))

[@seanfried5583]

Where can we see you go against actual resistance and not guys who flop the second you touch them.

[@9usuck0]

They aren't flopping. Ha ha ha You're being pushed over. If a rod was pushing into your chest would you brace and just let it push through you?

[@9usuck0]

Being someone who has felt this sort of force, holy hell if feels like that. I even tried bracing, it just hurt me a lot more. You don't fly back because you're unstable, you fly back because it is safer to do it.

[@seanfried5583]

If you stand squared up like that, you have no base. One shove sends you tumbling. I will wait to see this demonstrated against actual resistance.

[@9usuck0]

@@seanfried5583, again. If you stand based, it just hurts you more. Lol

[@9usuck0]

@@seanfried5583, so yeah. Square means no legs bracing but the point of being easily pushes means you aren't taking the force directly into your body. It's like giving yourself a crumble cage in a car. Again, I only of a handful of people who can actually do this short power like Adam. If you can find someone near you, go take a lesson. I don't want to tell you to take my word for it. But it isn't something I can justify over the internet. I also can't make it work well myself. Takes a lot of practice and good mechanics.
