Wallbag Punches in Wing Chun

Sifu Colin Ward explaining Wing Chun Wall Bag Punches in answer to a forum question on wingchunonline.net

There, finally someone said it publicly. Thank you for this video! I wish more people realize this: At punching a hanging bag, the bag should also hardly move! Just like a wall mounted bag. If you are tempted to make a hanging bag violently swing out (which does look pretty spectacular), then you 're only fooling yourself in getting onto the habit of constantly overcommitting. One must not want to see it, but to feel it.

I have just watched a video of one of ip mans trainees punching a wall bag from years and years ago and the bag was bouncing off the wall once his fist was relaxed after the punch..but you say it shouldn't move ?..

Hi there, I just thought I'd have a look at the video to see what you were referring to when you said 'the bag was bouncing off the wall', the bag is not bouncing off of the wall but merely spreading outward when hit. Surely you must expect 'some' movement of an object when it is hit, and as the bag cannot go forward (due to the wall) or backwards )as it would be on the floor and not still hanging), then it must spread outward. Hitting to the surface is not literal. Basically your fist will drive in about 25% of the body, with the shockwave carrying the power another 25%, creating the maximum damage right in the middle of the body. This way the bag takes the first 25% with the wall receiving the other 25%.

WingChun hi,it's a documentary called "wing chun documentary " it features sifu Lui and he talks about how if your hand isn't relaxed again after the punch then the bag won't move .but because his hand is relaxed straight after the punch the bag moves away from the wall. I just bought a wall bag and need to know the correct practice before I even got it once ,so that's why I asked ..i just want to get it right..

There are two schools of thought. One is keeping a relaxed fist throughout the entire punch using structure. This will cause the bag to bounce off the wall. The other is more common and the bag doesn't bounce.
