Dont forget the sticky hand contact when practicing wooden dummy. My master told me that, and the foot step is also first to move. T'ai Chi must be understood in Wingchun.

Phone booth? Kids these days have never even seen a pay phone, less a booth. If they want to look it up, it is a British phone booth, not the tiny American ones. Just big enough to get a bicycle inside, TARDIS on Dr. Who. A space about 5 by 5 feet. Great video on the distance concept, not so far away that we break contact and have to restart, but not just in one spot either. We can move around in a bigger space in training, but a fight should not REQUIRE all that space to have success. If we can get behind them we do not need much skill to win right? It is the enemy that is good enough to prevent that which we are worried about and train for.

What sort of footwork drills does your lineage have?

Hi @cassiuslives4807, it's been a minute. "Lineage" is a word that triggers a lot of people in both the right and wrong ways; so I just want to emphasize that whatever I say is only my own personal interpretation of the style, which might or might not be representative of the ones that came before me. The way I like to teach footwork is once the basic positions and basic stepping are learnt (including Huen Ma and triangle stepping), the way I derive my "footwork drills" is either from live Chi Sau training or light sparring. Because to me, the real question is: footwork to go where, from where, and how far? The most effective and efficient footwork to use in a given situation can only be determined after first becoming aware of our own position from head to toe, the opponent's position from head to toe, the relative angle between the two, the distance that separates us, and the desired end position. Because of this, I don't find generic footwork drills very practical beyond beginner level. Add to that the fact that everyone has a different build (height, weight, reach, etc) and different tendencies, I think footwork drills should be adapted to the individual, and derived from live training scenarios.

@@GaryMaWingChun it's good to see you putting out more videos, and better VT videos too than a lot of what is on instagram! I know that it can be fraught to claim a lineage- the biggest crime for my one is if you claim it and sully the master's name, someone will come and fight you lol. Scary! Anyway, you're right that each practitioner and potential opponent can vary, that being said we have a battery of footwork drills (up to Gor Sau) and we hope to have enough training partners to develop attributes and reactions against different builds and reach. The two challenges we face is we don't start from out of range often enough, and it's hard to find very very tall people to train against. The "not from range" bit is probably where the "don't move" criticism comes from and I tested it against a Muay Thai school recently... their pro fighters spend of lot time working at longer kicking range and that was quite challenging to get past. Do you have the "bat sin toi" 八仙檯 drill, where you test short range footwork on top of a 2m/2m square board? Keep making videos! Shame you live on the other side of the world; I'm sure training with you would be fun.

@@GaryMaWingChun another odd one worth mentioning re "stand squarely in front of the opponent"... I visited David Peterson in Malaysia recently and he gave me a riddle... how can you make it feel like you are swaying left to right when advancing to keep the opponent guessing, while staying square and only going straight forwards? He gave it to me and his seniors to play with after I asked him a question. Fun times.

Thanks for the compliment! Much appreciated. I think we are in agreement with regards to the "out of range" bit most schools face. Too many people fall in love with Chi Sau, and don't want to train the scary stuff. Which isn't so scary as long as you have trustworthy training partners. The table top training was removed way before I started teaching. I will not question their wisdom. I'm just some dude on the internet. LOL Personally, I find that one can train short range footwork and rootedness just as well on the ground as long as one is honest with his placement. Thanks for the encouragement!

@@GaryMaWingChun haha it's not about falling off the table- we usually just have the table top on the floor with no legs. You could do it with chalk or cones as well to mark out the area. It was more about tightening footwork so that you can use leverage to push the other person off the table using waist and stance at close range- while they're trying to do it to you. It's a lot of fun! There are so many cool drills worth sharing!

Great question! I made a video addressing how to defend a hook and why we do it differently. Hope it helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmrXe5J6ZbWCnMU
