Thanks. I’ll check it out.
Is there any ground fighting in wing chun? As you probably know, youtube is littered with videos of kung fu guys getting taken to the ground with jiu jitsu and pummeled. What would an ideal wing chun fighter use against a jiu jitsu ground fighter.

Yeah, i’m not use to punching without the body weight. But it’s becoming more normal. The turning stance punch helps me put together the pieces. Some movements are done without the body, some are done with the body. Makes sense. Can’t use the entire body if you want to move fast with multiple strikes. Thanks.

Yes. This helps. I have more faith now. Thank you:) Another question. In other martial arts schools they punch with the first two knuckles because the meridians in the other knuckles are connected to the heart, and will damage it. I’m a bit nervous I’m going to damage my energy channels hitting with the last three knuckles. What do you think about this?

Thanks for the response Sifu. I’m still a little confused though. The wing chun punches isolate the punches from the rest of the body? There is no waist turning, body turning, anything, all the power is coming from the isolated arms? You don’t press off from the ground, turn on the heels, etc? It is a little confusing for me. I practiced chen…[Read more]

Hi Sifu. I can’t figure out how to rewatch the videos I’ve already watched. And also, with the wing chun chain punching, it looks like you weren’t moving your body, just your hands. How do you get power in the punches without pushing off from the ground and putting the whole body into the punch? Thanks

Hi Sifu. Sorry about the late response. I practice muay thai, chen family tai chi, and shaolin kung fu. I was originally just a taiji player, but the waist turning while rooted into the ground was completely destroying my hip joints for some reason, so I started searching for other martial arts. I’m looking for a martial art that doesn’t irritate…[Read more]

Can I practice my wing chun without this stance?
