Haha alright. I’ll remind you. I was at a class once trying to block hooks in a forward stance and the punches were breaking through my block. So I don’t really feel confident in my ability to block hooks right now. Same with uppercuts. In one of your videos teaching basic blocks against the uppercut, the uppercut is really long. But what about an…[Read more]

When you send me the chain punching video, can you also include some videos teaching defense against hooks/uppercuts/jabs from the forward standing posture? I saw your videos teaching defense against hooks/uppercuts from a parallel posture, using your turning stance. But in the forward standing position I don’t use the turning stance right? And…[Read more]

Haha. It’s great to be able to post videos on here like this. Makes things easier. I was just looking at your chain punches and it does seem like you bring the back hand up a bit, then go forward, as the front hand goes down. That’s what I was originally doing at the beginning, but wasn’t sure if it was right.

Thanks.Don’t really understand though. Might be an error in communication. Do you have any time for a 10 minute skype call?

Yeah, that makes sense. And what about the pak sao arm getting in the way of my punch. When I punch over the pak sao sometimes I hit my arm, or it feels way too close.

Alright, awesome. And no worries.
Another question for you about pak sao. I saw in one of your videos saying ideally the pak sao should only come to the center of the body, but when I pak sao at the center of the body, it gets in the way of my punch. I saw in another video you were pak saoing further, all the way to the shoulder. Which one is correct.

I’ll put a video of me below showing what I mean when I say turning the fists out. It is basically what you said, just making a little angle. Is that the right way to do it like I show in the video?
And I haven’t seen the bulletin thing, I only use facebook messenger on my main account right now, don’t have the timeline.…[Read more]

And actually, it was one of the students that told me to punch with the fists more turned out, not the teacher.
But when I look at this video below, I can see their fists turned out, not completely straight, I think? Idk. Hard to say
Going to go rewatch your videos.

The guys in the video aren’t the same ones that told me not to punch with a straight fist. The school that told me that was a Sifu Och school. I’ve been trying to get down to train with them forever. It’s the only school in my state certified to teach the entire ip man system under 4 direct lineages. Moy Yat, Ip Chun, Ip Ching, and Simon Lau. But…[Read more]

I managed to make it down to a wing chun class really far from me. The teacher there was a gold medalist sanda fighter, and really awesome guy. But it’s so far that I can’t go regularly. I was asking about my hands hitting each other when doing the chain punches, and I was told to turn my hands outwards more, instead of keeping my fists straight.…[Read more]

There are a few aikido schools around me. Do you think wing chun and aikido would compliment each other? I met one aikido teacher near me that does pushing hands in his classes. And another teacher told me he had a student in his class whose main martial art is wing chun. Seem to be good places to go to find a training partner.

You can use my question, and my name too 😛 And you mean disrespectful to other martial arts? I actually told this to another wing chun teacher too, and he freaked out, telling me I was going to make people angry. I use to take muay thai in my area, and know fighters around here though. It would just be friendly sparring, not a dojo challenge. But…[Read more]

Hahaha this is great footage, do you have anything else to share?
I’ve thought about how wing chun would be gimped in sparring sessions with rules, and gloves. I’d basically be limited to simple punches and blocks.
Have you ever seen this video? The wing chun fighters destroys this muay thai guy using palm strikes with no gloves. I’d like to…[Read more]

I want to take what I learn from you into different martial arts schools and spar with the people there, so I can improve. Do you think I could hold my own against bjj/muay thai fighters with what I learn here?

I need to get further into the course, in your turning stance videos, and observe exactly what you do.

So Ip Chun isn’t teaching the same way as WSL then? I heard WSL changed the style a bit. And when I’m talking about punching range, I’m not talking about turning to gain punching range, I’m talking about not going too far left or right so it doesn’t take you completely out of punching range. For example, if your opponent is in front of you, and…[Read more]

Thanks. I actually may have sent you the wrong video.
In this one here he talks about it. At around 2:00 in the video, he talks about people leaning too far to the left or right, which takes them too far away from the target they are suppose to be hitting.
I think I may have been doing this. Now when…[Read more]

He says in here that we shouldnt lean when doing the turning stance because it takes you further away from the opponent you are suppose to be close to to strike. Is right right? When I shift my weight during the turning stance to my left or right leg, should I not lean over too much so I stay…[Read more]
