Concise and what I was taught too. If you can win the fight without trapping/chi sau, that's more simple, more direct and more efficient!

“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” The beauty of Wing Chun practice is that it trains technique and principles of how to use your body. There is no preplanning only adapting. Trapping or any other technique is only done if it feels right at that moment. You can’t force someone into a trap. They have to fall into it.

Very informative video, thank you Sifu

[@GaryMaWingChun]

I’m glad you found it informative MRcheckpoint5. Thanks for watching! :)

The first form starts with a punch for a reason.

[@Aniontedone]

The kune kuit says three things work together for trapping 1. The closing motion 2.the trapping motion and the attack. Wing Chun practitioners are not to punch without trapping.

[@integratedfightingarts]

So much truth!

[@GaryMaWingChun]

Thank you! Glad you can relate!

5. Trapped opponent would just shift his body which make it harder to keep them trapped. 6. The opponent would be move around a lot.

[@Aniontedone]

Your trapping depends on the energy they use in order to trap. Application after touch. This is were sticky hands comes into play.

[@Aniontedone]

When an adversary with draws his hands after attack you simply attack his recovery by closing the gap and trapping and striking .

Block with his face 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

😆

[@Aniontedone]

When the stance of the opponent is bladed you trap his lead hand.

[@williambrookings722]

Rule of the game should be to control the centre of balance rather than trying to control the hands. (Of course often you control your opponents centre of mass through their arms and trap them off balance)

[@GaryMaWingChun]

Hi William, Yes, I agree. Affect balance through the arms so long as you can occupy centreline. Otherwise, Lat Sau Jik Chung.

1.You try trapping 2. YOU DON'T DRAW THEM IN. 3.You make a plan to trap. 4. Set routine of trapping. 5.Don't trap straight forward 6. Trap from the side. 7.Trap farthest attacking weapon.(more time to intercept). 8. Disguise closing the gap with other strikes. 9. Last understand the usefulness and when it not useful. 10. Movable and free flowing footwork that add efficiency with trapping. These are the reason trapping works and don't work.

WC or "Kung fu" techniques are legit but there are things to consider, such as the ancient chinese who originally invented fighting techniques and styles that were used in war also practiced weight lifting and other forms of strength training, those who were the strongest in raw strength were also considered most proficient as warriors. So here we get to the reason why kung fu is being embarassed around the world lately, these "masters" boasting and losing in the ring aren't really that strong physically, we are talking about "fighters" who probably can't bench press their own weight and on top of that they barely even spar or fight while the ancestors of the art of kung fu were basically strongmen who practiced art of war knowing in battle it's life or death, even the emperors of old were into this stuff and one actually died in a type of weight lifting challenge... In regards to improving technique I think the key here is to reach your physical potential with hard training, increase strength best you can and then you will see your techniques improve too. Now balance hardness with softness, gotta keep your body functional, health is a big part of kung fu. Ever done tai chi forms after a hard gym weight lifting workout? It feels amazing, I feel like the ancients probably did the same, stretches your body just the right way and helps you recover. Just some food for thought. Peace.

[@houseofaction]

Modern Chinese martial arts look nothing like the original and they were weapons expert they didn't fight without weapons

[@Arsoona]

And that why only the original can manage to release the true power of wing chun Lol idk why i feel useless now

[@GaryMaWingChun]

Lol I know what you mean. We all feel useless at times. I have found that the feeling of uselessness can be quite useful when we choose not to ignore it, and instead, choose to “face the shape”. In this regard, it seems to me like you’re on the right path. 👍
