Wing Chun - Don't Pull Back Keep Constant Forward Pressure - Kung Fu Report

[@levimaynard2237]

Good stuff as always. Thank you Sifu Adam. This episode is probably one of the best I've seen at showing the real advantage of Wing Chun when applied properly. Awesome.

[@paul7754]

What you said - absolutely!

[@greecostyler]

Good Video Sifu you are one of the few KZbin Wing Chun Guys who understand the concept of wing chun. Hope you will reach more range of viewers.

[@RobertMiller-sh7gb]

Great video! Points out the subtleties of Wing Chun and why they can be so effective. Love your phrase “use the closest weapon to the nearest target”. Thanks for sharing.

[@----DJ----]

This is probably one of my favorite videos from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@TheOtherWayMartialConsulting]

I teach my students to operate with the properties of a forest fire. Fire doesn't back up to consume new fuel and it ALWAYS goes after the closest, most available source of fuel while keeping the ground it already took. In martial terms, we do not recoil our strikes. Instead, we strike, then leave the strike in place and move forward. By default, it causes the recoil because the hand remains in the same - or similar - location in space. The opponent is normally too occupied with defending against the incoming follow-up strike to worry about the hand in their face or grabbing them. I see a similar concept here; with a terminology change, but the concepts are very similar.

Oh I can see the technique better now.I saw Bruce Lee apply this very fast in several movies but no one explained it like you did.So amazing to see true application rather than watered down techniques that practice pulling back the hand.Wish I was in your area to learn so much more.Thank you kind sir for the video.

[@asaanpu4645]

I'm so thankful for the lesson on this because I have been struggling with this in my training, especially when in real life situations.

[@mikebond7033]

Always so great to watch your channel of Wing Chun and thanks 🙏 for sharing Sifu Adam and Chris.🌎🙏🍀

[@gregargo1898]

Sir, I love you! Thank you so much. This instructional technique of yours is the finest I have seen in the many years I have been investigating the arts. Wing Chun principles are the best fundamental principles of all the arts in my opinion and your explanations of the system is invaluable. Your spirit is peaceful and patient; your mind sharp and focused. I will always remain a student of your way.

[@houseofkungfu2543]

yes, I guessed it 00:56 go towards the center always! I'm learning..

[@intfstft]

So true. Adam THANK YOU for helping me understand the original concept of Wing Chun

[@Bustahbrown]

Great instruction, great teacher.

[@justis1999]

Awesome as always Adam

[@conancrom]

Amazing efficient speed 👊🏻

[@tavtav3526]

Good stuff for wing chun practitioner. This give me a new option of doing forward pressure movement instead of doing chain punch per contact.

[@garyfujinami9911]

That was awesome. The interpretation of the forms are very interesting.

[@pianoLee-sx9dx]

Another terrific lesson Adam sifu!

[@ziyanglee7950]

I am Chinese, but I know nothing about kung-fu or martial arts. However, I can judge the real from the not so real Chinese arts because I grew up in New York City Chinatown and spent half of my young life in various kung-fu schools and have seen enough to know the difference. Sifu Adam speaks Cantonese in between English while demonstrated in the video, and that tells me he's connected with other sifus overseas. In any case, Sifu Adam is the real McCoy without a shadow of doubt. And if anyone had doubts, go try him out yourself. Just let me know so I can have a stretch waiting for you. 😮

[@aztecfox1]

There you go! Nice one Adam

[@robertjones4200]

Thankyou

[@JohnTube2K]

Great video and entertaining as well. Chris filling in for the wood dummy drove the points home.

[@carlosvillavicencio6652]

Interesting video and the concept of constant pressure, attacking the attack by destabilizing the opponent. 👍👍👍

[@ronaldaguila4272]

This is the first time I have learned the principle of not pulling your hand back. I’d like to learn more.😊

[@quincyyoungbloodakajudah4-486]

Excellent

[@tonglee4157]

One of the best wing chun sifu.Notice his hand speed

[@paul7754]

My grandfather used to play pool (billiards) with that same idea - shoot the ball 'closest' to the pocket. He was pretty good at his 'leaves' for his follow up shots.

[@bitosdelaplaya]

THE major principle : allways keep the pressure and stay in contact. It's really difficult, because you need a good body balance and good control of bong sau and all other wing chun principle

[@Bellator_of_the_Shadow]

Very cool

[@houseofkungfu2543]

5:00 Adam in a previous podcast said it takes 10,000 reps to program any movement in your sub conscious. 100 reps, 1,000 times. Sounds easy enough right? ahahahahahahhaa. Its just hard work man, my life has changed forever, and people, even my Lung ying Sifus have wondered, how and why I'm progressing so quickly. I cant tell em I've been watching a Wing Chun Sifu

[@juliengralepois577]

Hey nice video thanks for the knowledge I really like how you explain kungfu throught principle, it's more understandable Do you know Baji quan i would like to know what you think about this style thanks ! 🙏

[@ronaldaguila4272]

Sifu Adam, can you please demonstrate on a slower pace, do a slow motion of your movements so we could follow. We are trying to learn from you not watch a kung fu movie. Thanks.😊

[@adam28171]

Is there iron finger conditioning in WC? Can finger strikes to the body end a confrontation by causing serious injury? I have read the finger tips are connected to the eyes in healing. Damage the finger tips and your eyes will suffer. Any truth to this?

[@suoquainen]

That unreal speed... :)

[@suoquainen]

@@Hinterfrage Yeah, it's still impressive.

[@houseofkungfu2543]

beautiful, but deadly 4:14.. poor Chris lol

[@billscott9181]

I'm curious. I would like to know if wing chun relies so much on sensitivity to your opponent's energy and movement, how can taking this class online and watching videos give me those skills? I think Adam's videos are great and very informative, but if I pay for the course, am I going to be able to benefit without someone training with me?

[@thewarriorwounds3124]

Look up some of the studies on people improving at a specific skill such as shooting free throws through visualization training alone with no physical training. It is quite astonishing. Apply that mental visualization to your training, the brain cant tell the difference and it will build the neural pathways.

[@billscott9181]

@thewarriorwounds3124 ok, but the brain can't visualize what an opponent's energy and movement will feel like. Even Adam says at some point you have to train with someone who is non-cooperative to really know how you have to act in real-world scenarios.

[@thewarriorwounds3124]

@@billscott9181 it can visualize any and every movement a person can do.

[@bertt1055]

These are things Guru Dan Inosanto didn’t get. The extra blocks for flashiness are useless in combat.

[@sipscl]

you mean Adam's, right? I think he does this to demonstrate that even after his very quick, direct attacks, there is still time to do some additional blocking if necessary. Most of these blocks would probably not come into play in reality because the previous direct attacks weakens the attacker's subsequent attack

[@bertt1055]

@@sipscl No, Adam's demonstration is excellent. I meant Guru Inosanto's - in his demos there are plenty of unnecessary blocks and the hands are always pulled back too far.

[@Gerald950]

Which grade do you have? :D

who wouldve thought so many principle from just one technique.. 2:28

Center of road is dangerous,crossfire of 2 cars(fists).Id rather go to roadside and freeride(or freeload) at the back of the truck.

[@122222770]

Why dont we see this in mma?

[@nickrare5824]

[@Simon2k17]

Nothing wrong with this strategy. In fact it's perfect. However, I think the arm pulling back that far is exaggerated. Wing chun people have their hands out more when they pull back. So the distance to their target with chain punching is still pretty short.

[@bertt1055]

Yes but even with hands further out, the head is completely exposed usually. Sparred with Wing Chun peeps and generally most leave their heads wide open.

[@Outrider74]

Poor Chris...

[@alswedgin9274]

🙏

[@alexlauria4076]

I'm gonna get hate for but oh well... I don't think you would be able to pull this off if that big dude was punching you with the intent of ripping your head off

[@Sin2577]

Apparently he's ticklish
