Relax Is The Key - Adam Chan - Kung Fu Report 

The amount of knowledge Adam has with his open minded on taking a pragmatic approach to his kung fu is absolutely amazing! Taking quality attributes from traditional arts and even truly comprehending how chi gung ties into relaxing were huge gaps I didn't know I was missing until I included into all my training!

Adam chan sifu great stuff always with explanations that is clear and easy to understand . Those people who put negatives comments are totally uneducated in the wing chun art.

NOW I know more fully WHY I really dislike a certain online bully wing chun "instructor". Thank you very much.

Hands pocket “waza” like Jesse Glover 😂

Very talented and knowledgeable Sifu. Can tell this Sifu is a lover of all martial arts and not just Wing Chun. Excellent stuff!

Good stuff man. Always good stuff

Thank you for the lesson Sensei !

Great Stuff!

Very good Sifu! My teacher Vladimir Vasiliev says at the highest level of martial arts it's about learning the power of relaxation. Keep up the great vids!

This is amazing 👍

Great videos.

Realy good

the real Deal is Structure in every Movment -Relaxing is one part of the whole thing but not the only

This location looks nice.

What are your thoughts on Chu Shong Tin's style of wing chun?

I was taught by my master similar techniques but he called it something different..... is there a way I can ask more question questions easier

Adam do you have any advice being able to tell when someone is going to punch or kick? I practice Taekwondo and quite a few people are good at not telegraphing certain kicks wether it is a roundhouse kick or fast kick with the front leg. My point is I often can't avoid them getting a headshot on me, sometimes I can but not consistently. Any advice would be appreciated, Thank you Adam.

My boxing partner gave me a bleeding nose and hurt my nose really bad. He said that is sparring

I would like to be a student, how do I get to be a student I want to learn wing chun.

Is it truly possible to relax, even in a life or death situation?

Qi gong is the next step.

Relaxed hitting is using the weight of the arm for example to do the damage to the opponent. 5.7kg is the average weight of an average male. Using muscles to punch results in the punch being pulled back by certain muscles. Using the Earth, foot, etc up to the striking part increases the damage to an opponent. My son who was 4kgs was walking towards me then fell hitting near my eye with his arm. For several days I couldnt see from that eye. No brusing etc. His whole bodyweight hit my head. He also has Prader-Willi Syndrome.

You will see the 'bad pad holder' concept all the time in real fights, because of what I term 'spastic movement' generated by real confrontations. 'Fight or flight' impulses combined with the distraction of people shouting/screaming (or worse, throwing chairs..) means that people rarely move the way they do in training or even in controlled fights. No referee and the fact that you aren't facing another fighter in a so-called fair fight prompts some bizarre body mechanics in many people, and its rare to see strikes land 'right on the pad' in the initial flurry. We can all laugh at the 'thrashing windmill' approach but its different when that windmill is on top of you in the blink of an eye and it only gets worse from there. One thing I have never seen in a gym/dojo/kwoon is fighters being pushed and pulled while trying to fight their opponent - even in trying to train to defend against multiple assailants (and good luck with that, btw). You will occasionally see the 'he pulls my arm and I throw him into another attacker' in Aikido demos but those guys cop so much stick that I wont even go there. I'm a broken record on this, but I still think there is a point in any training where serious martial artists need to pad up (incl mouthguard and box), put yourself against a wall and have a 110kg Rugby player monster you - no technique, just brute force trying to put you through that wall. And be prepared to run. Thanks for the video.

4:50 Systema hitting from Russia is relaxed not Wing Chun Kuen.

I appreciate his ability, but my Sifu would say, he talks to much, please make videos of drilling until everyone dies Haha that's real Wing Chun lol
