Straight Punch Vs Vertical - Rebel Wing Chun Philosophy

[@Apollyon83]

That’s how I was taught. Vertical fist, from the hip, relaxed until time of impact, hit “behind the body”, then bring your fist back quickly (don’t leave it out there). The only difference in the way I was taught was my center line wasn’t facing my opponent. Good vid.

In Silat, we have a similar strike coming from the elbow and the rib cage, powered by the hip (and _Gelek_), which is often called _Bandul_, a pendulum strike. However, we don't twist it towards the center because we're supposed to have already moved to the side to hit targets like the carotide artery for instance.

Thank you for the great video. Do you use more of boxing stance or classical Wing Chun stance?

[@corejkd]

Standard JKD bi jong (bent knee phasic) for most dynamic work where we have to rapidly change elevation or range due to shooting-in or weapon entry or evasion. Slightly modified version of Wing Chun for this work, in that we stay closer to shifting to the balls of the foot for more dynamic transfer of energy and movement. The "sitting" in the stance of Wing Chun is quite valuable when you need to be the mountain that doesn't move to specific attacks or to derive a foundation for one-three inch punch or variations.

You clearly haven't looked at our channel and what we do. Always best to educate yourself before extending yourself too far in the wrong direction.
