Question:

‘What is the secret to explosive energy?’

Answer:

‘Relaxation’.

How simple was that!

Strength, is the result of building big muscles whereas speed is not, and in order to generate explosive power we need speed more than we need muscle.

Hi Nick,

A good point to raise.
I do have a previous blog on this which would benefit from being shown again, perhaps I could pop this up on Saturday?

For now though…

What is the right amount of tension that should be there?
As soon as you use it, lose it.

Straight after contact with the arm or completion of the move…

As for rule of thumb..

If it works, use it, if it’s not comfortable, it’s not right.

Remember too the weapon of choice, this idea also goes for your defence, hands deal with hands, legs deal with legs.
This idea also suits close distance, if someone is so close, defend with your elbows (just as in the last blogs) and if you’re in a tussle,…[Read more]

Sorry Lee, I thought I’d answered this!

Thanks Sifu
I’ve gotta ask.

Is there a rule of thumb type understanding regarding our thinking “if we are only thinking about the upper arm” and also when thinking of the lower arm.

I know I haven’t developed the sensitivity yet to be able to feel where on my arm the press from the training partner is concentrated.

I can recall you saying…[Read more]

Hi Lee,

Here are your answers:

Where does the bong fit in that?
If your hands are preoccupied.

Is the bong a last resort?
Possible, if the first line of defence (hands) has been breeched.
An application which popped straight into my head just then is… Imagine someone has stepped right into your space (and you cannot retreat), meaning your…[Read more]

Excellent.

See you next year!

Hello Sifu,

I’ve made an update to the uploaded videos, and I’m now hoping this will allow you to see them.

I received Covid for Christmas, although it’s my own fault as I didn’t maintain my Qi Gong practice well enough during the rush before Christmas.

I’m looking to get my focus back.

Thank you Sifu,
I hope 2022 brings us all peace,love and more WING CHUNG.
I will work on your tip.

Do not focus on both hands at the same time,

Tan/punch

Start with turning punches, then stop on one and place out the Tan, now we are ready…

Look only at the Tan hand, as you FEEL your punching hand begin to open, you now give permission to the Tan hand to flow through to a punch, following it with your eyes all the way!
When you have done…[Read more]

Hi Richard,

At least we know it has been uploaded, but I’ve still yet to find it?

To be honest I’m just struggling a little at the moment with the Covid virus, as soon as I’m through this I’ll give it me full attention.

A 6.00a, Siu Lim Tau did the trick this morning. 🙂

Hello Sifu,

Have uploaded as requested, and sent the links to [email protected]

Richard

Is it possible to send them to me the old fashioned way, putting them on YouTube and sending me a link?

Of course you’d delete them after I have watched them.

Hello Sifu,

I do still have the files, so do let me know how you’d like me to get them to you.

I guess it’s down to restarting, and looking to try and build up momentum somehow.

Regards,
Richard
