Shame the greats are passing - RIP Chu Shong Tin - He had a great understanding of the mechanics.

I think what we are most struggling with is to uncouple/couple the joints in addition to keeping them relaxed. But most of all, the effect he could trigger meant he was certainly very relaxed as a whole. Thanks for sharing. 🥰

It’s crazy how deep this form of and martial arts in general goes. It feels like that the mind set and the atmosphere of training and studying slowly but surely fades away. Of course a factor has to be that people nowadays aren’t able to spend that much time on it.

Yes. To be able to dedicate your life in the pursuit of your passion is certainly our of the reach of most people. Perhaps this was why he lived a very simple , uncomplicated & quiet life. It suited him . Money or fame never occurred to him. These were of no interest. He was a remarkable gentleman.

This video is showcasing the Bone Structure, and mechanics of how proper bone structure, will generate a strength that muscles can't. The physics of this is that it often appears as if the practitioner has super strength, or some hidden chi power. This is where the Kung Fu gets these myths and legends from. But proper CHI is actually bone structure, alignment, relaxing during it, and physics implemented. Most people during a fight are using Muscle mass, and muscle strength, but Wing Chun relies on application by bone structure, natural movements that generate far more strength than muscle can.

it's ridiculous how open his shoulders were

[@wingchun-simplekungfu7584]

Not unlike trying to pick up an oily ball bearing with chop sticks. His shoulder sockets were totally free. I’ve watched you demonstrate this . You’d be closer than most to having this pretty right. Most wouldn’t have ever experienced it
