You have to remember, the instructor is expressing the style not himself which is fine. In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with learning a style but don't rely on it 100%. You want to express yourself not the style. You may end up in a fight situation where the other guy is doing something that may throw you off and you can't use your style (broken rithum),well say, " free style wrestling ". Have you ever sparred a person that's good in wrestling and you might be good in a style that's more hand techniques. I'm talking apples and oranges here.

Excellent lesson for beginning Dummy Training. I attended a Shaolin studio and studied Wing Chun in 94 and basically forget all this. But after watching your video it all just instantly came back to me. I wanted to start teaching my kids and my some of my family and friends kids. Just the basics. There are no Wing Chun training schools within 100 miles of where I live. Though I did find one but did not like the instructor, he's an MMA guy and seems to be only concentrating on competition and battle! I'm an artist and want to introduce the actual art to the kids.

This is a great, great video with what seems like really great emphasis on some of the finer training points. Very well thought-out! I practiced Kenpo in my teens and 20s, took a 15-year unfortunate hiatus and recently started training in Pai Lum. I found an excellent school and my instructor just picked up a Muk Jong very similar to this. He also said to be deliberate with training, work up to things, practice technique and the power comes later. Don't slap it like they do in the movies! Accuracy and precision. If I had one minor bit of constructive criticism with the video presentation aspect, maybe avoid the sweatshirt in other training videos. Being able to more clearly see your movements from all angles is only beneficial. :-) Thank you - or I guess I should say as we do in class, "xie-xie".

Love, this video!!! My cousin wants an "Iron Jung" because he believes that the harder he hits it the more he will develop power and develop his iron hands. Your explanation of power through velocity by way of slow and concentrated training is what I have believed for years. Doing something slowly and correctly ten times is a million times better than doing the same thing fast a million times incorrectly. I would rather intercept a strike one time correctly than to intercept a million strikes incorrectly. lol Painful!!
@ofwarjoe10 жыл бұрын
