I didn't exactly learn this on the mat. These were observations that many of my colleagues from security and bouncing who came from both traditional and MMA backgrounds brought in from practical application. We've been noticing that across cultures and continents, the methods that work tend to look the same.
The best part about this channel and Aperture, is that it explores ideas and concepts. Its no where near concrete and a "should do" guide. It brings out the best attributes and calls out the weak ones. No bias, just unapologetic critical thinking. Thank you GN!!
This is fantastic! Too many people do not understand that sensitivity drills are akin to a door that can be opened to create endless and formless reactivity in combat.
Absolutely...it isn't likely to transfer into fighting with the same aesthetic beauty as the classical forms. For this reason, it is a drill and not a simulation.
I’ve always loved training hubud-lubud and chi sao. There’s sooo much buried in both practices...so much depth, and they can both add to/“spice up” pretty much any art. Awesome video, brother!
I definitely agree. So many people do the whole "that's not how people really fight" and miss the concepts stashed in the drills. Same actually applies to kata, there's "Gold" in there, IF you're willing to dig.
Dude, this is great! I've been working in this frame work for the last couple years, after teaching wing chun for 6 years and training for 15. I dropped the lineage, brought back in some wrestling and thai boxing and started attending FTF seminars as often as possible. The outcome is similar. Much respect to you and these two fine gentlemen. Peace
Excellent exploration and adaptation. We used to play with similar drills with JKD to Silat and back out with FMA to explore the ranges and flow of energy.
Great street defense Wing Chun have been training in Wing Chun for 14 years and we spare as well as chi sau love all your videos Blessings from New Zealand..
Excellent work, this is what good sensitivity training is all about, linking and de-linking body structure according to momentum changes. Never looking like any particular style, only using the 'architecture' that suits each moment. Thanks for uploading and sharing 👊🏽🙏🏽
I loved this garage Chi Sao and Hubad Lubad MA video...you both were great! I think I watched this almost every day fir the past 4 weeks. Love to come visit your dojo after the restrictions settle. But please keep sending video sirs.
Very much like JSK Chi Sao & Hubud principles. I get sick of seeing these slap style practitioners. Use Chi Sao as a control for bridging and countering grappling is the way. We should chat. Where are you located?
The generator feels like it resides in the shoulder socket, fueled by intention. Learning a little bit about the power potential difference between thinking the hand, arm, and shoulder into action and intending it from the shoulder socket outward. A breadcrumb I found as a beginner.
I know..this is my second comment..but i mean,this makes so much sense..think about it..the first movement in the wing chun wooden dummy form is a neck strike to a single collar tie/thai clinch..so if,as the wing chun sifus keep telling us,the dummy form is the 'applications manual' of wing chun,then shouldn't wing chun be a clinch fighting art,since the whole sequence is a clinch fighting sequence?the techniques certainly seem to make more sense when applied within the context of a clinch..but anyway..i'll shut up now..
Absolutely right. The measure and distance is established from the neck pull on. The first movement tells you the range. This is where wing Chun excels.
Back in the 90's when BJJ was making it's debut, I heard from Richard Chun, a Wing Chun Master, that you can apply the WC concepts as well on the ground as in the clinch.
In streetfighting sometimes you cross paths with bigger foes (for Filipinos that will be mostly the case lol) ... Is there a defensive system, blocking system that is able to negate size difference more efficiently? A big guy's hay-maker can break through a smaller man's block. Covering up high guard is still very risky. Love your channel
Yeah well ok nice intermediate stuff, freedrilling that´s good, but and this is a big but why don´t you listen more closely to what your Grandtuhon teaches? Centerline is a basic concept, nearly everyone has, but what does it actually mean? 8 directions in the plane, 64 in space, 3 measures, 3 times, bisecting lines (not only centerline there are at least two more), theory of apex, transforming the basic triangle into circles, 7 planes of attack, theory of reference points,.... . Those two guys look quite prficient in dealing violence, but they are still captured in technical traps. The art is about creation itself, you´ve got to create your own universe. If you focus you´ll loose big picture, that´s why daga in pakal and saksak is so precious. There is the focus, no need to stare at the centerline.
