Intro To Wing Chun Wooden Dummy | Simple Drills For Beginners

[@yhli8083]

I practiced Wing Chun some thirty/forty years ago, but it seemed that no one mentioned the simple but important facts as illustrated by you. Thank you very much for your free sharing.

[@derrickboyd9225]

I think that Wing Chun is a pretty good technique and I'm very very very powerful technique indeed I just wish I could have had been doing this and karate the right way and I would have kept up my practice is over the years it could have helped it could have saved it my life for the better of us all 🥋☯️🙏😌🙏☯️🥋

[@kcorsnosbig]

Must be some of the stuff the other big name schools don't hold back on.. The ones that teach everyone the same...no closed door techniques... Truly make so much more sense.... 多謝先生，您係一位學者同傑出嘅老師...

[@charlesvire7517]

@@kcorsnosbigThank you Brother for sharing the basics right off the get go. As Martial Arts 🥋 in the United States 🇺🇸 has been taught incorrectly. Americans have just like there Christians churches ⛪️ made it into a business. It actually sickens my stomach to watch people 😔to get ripped off. With all these Dojo’s taking money 💰 from those who do not know any better. Wing Chun is a life style that I respect from the Chinese community. Look forward to learning more from you. Yallah 🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌

[@davidmiller4078]

Thanx Kevin fascinating stuff as usual so bimportant to get basics right

[@o_zethro]

Where did you learn Wing Chun?

[@zenflare]

You make some excellent points: the importance of the center line, the importance of proper footwork, not losing the connection to the wooden dummy, the importance of not using excessive force, and the importance of proper footwork in order to execute a strike.

[@JingShenKuoshu]

Finally, someone who understands principles.Wing Chun has been taking a beating for years. You speak and teach very well. I would like to meet you. Im in San Diego, CA, I think you are in Florida. Can we speak sometime.

[@wesleypipes5673]

People talk shit about WC but I'll tell you this, as a relatively experienced striker I've learned more about entrances by watching WC & FMA videos and applying or adapting them to my personal game than any other martial art that I have actually practiced to some degree. I spar with guys who've only trained kickboxing for the most part and between the entrance strategies I've picked up from WC & FMA most of them have a hard time seeing me coming. I use traps & locks very sparingly but when the opportunity is there it's a done deal the majority of the time. Diversify your skillset, you don't need to become an expert in every martial art but if you just get the basics of each then you take what's useful for you & apply it. As they say in Ninjutsu "If it works use it".

Wow...

[@randyhelgeson1254]

Thanks Kevin. I am always pushing foot work for everything. So important. I'll have to add position in. It is so basic you might look over it just assuming people know. Great points.

Thanks Kevin, it’s been a while for me, but nice to get back on the wooden man again… good, competent and highly instructional… well worth a Sub!

[@alexisgilmete9151]

Excellent video and instruction. I can see where this is highly effective for defense and striking.

[@markamaro8957]

Excellent video, I think I learned all the WC hits at one time.

[@DumbFroggg]

Great vid! I always love learning from the similarities and differences in different lineages!

[@brentpieczynski]

I enjoyed the explaining of positional importance.

[@eduardomarrone6290]

Obviously this martial art is strong and effective. But it is the first time that someone explains the functions of that wooden "Totem" that seems so primitive and mysterious to us Westerners. Thanks for the didactic and simple explanation for such a complex art! Congratulations!🌟

[@easymad1918]

really nice explanation of this basic drills, one question if I may, can you talk about the steps ( triangle shape you have in the floor and how to set it up ) in the dummy form ? Thanks

[@ernie644]

Nice explanations! It’s a very good entry for learning the dummy form.

[@danplasma]

Kevin Lee is possibly the highest level martial artist on youtube....Osssss!

[@puddingfaustvt]

You never came far on yt then..

[@TotalWannabe]

Maybe among Wing Chun practitioners, but certainly not in general

[@puddingfaustvt]

Not even in wing chun... very low skillbase. And also a lot of obvious mistakes in mechanics and general understanding

[@hotlanta35]

Kevin Lee definitely is and has the skills

[@noiseworks]

Ridiculous comment, seems almost beginner to me

[@brucehuddler7518]

Thank you for explaining this, excellent.

[@teedtad2534]

Kevin,. Chinese believe Yin ☯️ and Yang ... In other words a moment to be hard and soft or with in a spilt second! Applications are with good techniques depending on space, distance and timing... You do have food points Mr. Lee.. however, I seen what Black Belts do during work outs many times.

[@trinityliebenow897]

Yes, I need this. SAVING!

[@ScottCommon632]

Best explanation EVER. Thx. Know any good instructors / gyms in Las Vegas?

[@conniegal201]

Excellent video, thank you! I'm considering purchasing a real wooden dummy but the ones I've seen for sale appear to be too tall. I'm 5'1" so would need one where my arms could reach the upper arms, as well as the middle and the leg. Do you have any suggestions as to who would sell one with appropriate height?

[@fBrunPeressin]

elite! more wing chun breakdowns. Do the whole natural evolution of this video please! 🙏🏼

[@BradYaeger]

Well that's interesting about using the squareness of the holes , never heard that before. I built my own dummy body out of PVC drainage pipe back in the 90's and just made round holes for conviinience , and the arms I bought were round too. It works fine for what I do because I really don't use much Wing Chun . I even added a spring loaded leg to practice sweeps and trips. But that's really cool and it makes total sense. Always more to learn !

Excellent explained. Thank you very much. One question, can a 35 years old man, begins to practice wingchung?

[@TheAnsonysc]

Definitely can! Because it’s not an exciting compared to those you need to spar. 35 is not old at all. May be a golden age if you already keeping doing excises.

[@anthonysalgado7248]

Did you post any other dummy videos or is it only this one for beginners. I like the video just wondering if you continue these to next level drills.

[@danlewis7707]

Is it possible to, or our their drills for, performing wing Chun interception or parry and strike drills as though one were moving forward or back? I mention this because I observe, as a layman, that many fights occur while either driving forward or while being driven back and I would assume this would change the footwork needed to complete the interception or parry and strike. Also, are there forms to practice takedowns and takedown defense? Thanks!

[@Schlank_Schattig32]

What if you combined Wingchun with Muay Thai, would that not be unstoppable? If you used true Wingchun that is kinda like jiujitsu, aswellas Aikido.

[@BMO_Creative]

Great info! And the tape being part of the Mu ren zhuang training! Great video!

[@STBRetired1]

Some of the most painful and debilitating strikes are in Okinawan karate BLOCKING with the forearms. Every practioner of Goju, Isshin-ryu, Shorin-ryu, Uechi-ryu etc remembers to the day he dies the pain of practicing blocking. It wasn't bad with other students because you would both go easy on each other. But when you had to practice with a Black Belt, oh the pain. I've been thinking about getting a Wing Chun wooden dummy to start conditioning my forearms again.

[@danilomax844]

Thanks for posting this video, Kevin!

[@jacovanderwalt1330]

G'day, Mr Kevin Lee. I just had to ask a question regarding the wooden dummy. No.1 > First and foremost is the wooden dummy used to train Japanese or Chinese martial arts. No.2 > is this wooden dummy also available overseas ( if indeed yes, is it possible to specify which countries uses it). No.3 > here is the last and most difficult question: if there's a martial arts school in South Africa that uses it and it's close to Pretoria, could it be possible that you can specify which school it is because I want to continue training again. All the best Jaco

I'm an old chap but I've always been taught that the mook above arms should be at the same height as chest. (so the dummy is about 10/15 cm lower) What do you think? Excellent instruction btw Regards from a Futchman living in France.
