I agree with you but you left so much out, for instance after the tanda you can also pack the elbow to not only control his arm but to throw your opponent off balance and the move to strick and follow up a continuous attack. OR from the tanda toy can go into a lapsao pulling him off balance and bringing him towards you for the attack. There are so many combinations you can utilize if you know the techniques and speed with follow through are so critical. Lastly the Tanda, Ganda and Biuda are not blocks it is an attack on the attack so it should be used with force to move your opponent just enough off balance and send pain back to him even before you launch your initial strike. I do agree with you about souly attacking the head you should certainly go for othe par like the soloflexes, the kidneys and even a low kick to the knee after a well executed tanda or lapsoa. I did enjoy your video very much I just felt you are leaving so much out and mainly not emphasizing the there are no blocks in Wing Chun its always attacking so the Tanda, Ganda and Biuda are attacks. Take care and God bless.

Those can all be topics for other videos. Each video has to have its own topic otherwise students will get overwhelmed. Especially those who are just a few months into Chi Sau. If you give students too much information, it’ll go in one ear and out the other. Efficiency in Wing Chun isn’t just about the execution, it’s about the teaching as well. Thanks for watching!

In my opinion, head hunting comes from the nowadays trend of "traditional martial arts don't work in MMA". Many people don't understand that in sports they hunt the face because they're using gloves, and punching the body isn't easy because it's less sensitive than the face using gloves; cover both body and face just raising the gloved hands is easy but impracticable with bare hands. Also, in sports isn't a big issue falling to the ground, while is a matter of life or death on the street.

[@GaryMaWingChun]

When it comes to those who practice combat sports, I totally agree with your assessment. Bare knuckle to the body is much less damaging for the puncher than bare knuckle to someone’s chin or forehead. And shooting for a takedown by placing the knee on the ground and stepping through is great on matted floors, but not so much on concrete. And head stomping and soccer kicking the dome of a downed opponent isn’t allowed in the UFC. Although, One Championship allows more in that sense. I’m a huge MMA fan so I’m not saying this to disparage athletes who optimize their style and techniques according to the rules, environment and equipment of the sport. Coz that’s exactly what they should do. But, how do we explain the majority of “traditional” Wing Chun guys who don’t spar with equipment, don’t follow MMA, don’t do Iron Palm training, and yet have been head hunting since way before MMA blew up in popularity? It just came to me while typing this and looking at my profile pic that Bruce Lee’s movies might have a lot to do with it…

[@antoniostrina82]

@@GaryMaWingChun Exactly! Generally there are exaggerations from both the sides, that discriminate one practice or the other. Coach Greg Nelson demonstrated the application of Chi Sao in MMA, for instance. Mark Stas explained the idea behind the Chain Punch, and so on. Having a fixed idea brings nowhere, as Bruce Lee said: "Be water".

[@GaryMaWingChun]

Life would be easier if we picked a side, though. 😅 Anyways, thanks for watching and for this discussion!
