I'm a Muay Thai/Karate/Tae Kwon Do/Judo & Jiu jitsu guy... But after seeing this I can see how Chi Sao can help being more effective in the 'Perry' aspect of Thai & Boxing for MMA/Street. The crummy part about this observation is that we will not see great Chi Sao in MMA for many years. This video just got me hooked on learning some Chi Sao. Consider me a believer of Wing Chun!
Check out some of Wonderlie Silvas fights. He uses some chi sao. He'll throw his hands and arms out there to see what he feels and tries to engage with it.
Still the very BEST free Chi Sao demonstration on RU-vid.....so many applications of the sections done free and natural. This Is Application! Wonderful...
No, dear Dr Tzeus. He used to be an exceptional practicioner, but in terms of technical superiority I recommend Sifu Tassos 'Old Times '-EWTO Clips to you
I am trainning Wing Tzun in Ebmas Turkey and Emin Boztepe is my Dai-Sifu . I attended his lessons and seminars . He is a really good teacher. I started Chi-sao when i deserved 4. Degree and chi sao make my reflex better than before
The idea of improving hand sensitivity and using that as a suppliment to percieving your opponent's moves is a superb one, simply because if you train your reflexes to be based on sensation, the information doesn't have to travel through as many processing centers and therefore take less time to process. In a case, that means that your reaction time goes much faster than you would with vision only.
Jayemai Xisten it’s a long jut sao to pin the arm down, not save the opponent just looks a bit like that. I trained this system and my instructor was a private student of his we do this move all the time 👍
Every true martial art exists for a reason, they have different styles, but in the end it's a way of practising defense, spirit, mentality, and above all, respect. That's why it is called art. Not for fighting or prove who is better than who. "He who knows does not speak much, and he who speaks much does not know"
Franz Dale Abarquez jajajaja first: english is not my language, but I understand it quite well, let's see if you can hold a conversation in my language and see who is the most ignorant. second: I insist, he nor anyone else can learn something from this video. I love the wing tsun but it is impossible to learn from the internet.
Well I learned that I must be very pugilistically conditioned for combatives and master the spiral for static stepping and circle stepping while following, linking, adhering, sticking, never resisting or releasing. The use and application of Gary Lam elemental hand movement theory should also be mastered. The infighting circle stepping is the key to testing the kung fu of these exceptional Kung Fu adepts.... The master who is demonstrating has awesome static stepping kung fu using Cho Sao... I think his San Shou would be exceptional too.... I would sharpen and use the techniques I mentioned to engage him... I imagine working with him and because of my experience can see the possibilities of growing in knowledge when crossing hands with him... that's how you learn or at least how I learn by viewing the vids.... maybe that's how others learn
Taiji Yoga Boxing ok. go and train whit him. and you will realize that you didn't learn anything of this and no other video. if you see him ask him what he think about your techniques and your way to learn from videos.
This sifu is great at what he does. he's like a strong magnet to the ground, and has proper distance the entire time. his superb timing and structure are also great!
yes I do, the student keep his arms on the touching and movement in the chi sau training while the teacher is trapping and executing the blows. teachers think superior techniques in themselves and forgot the enemy is a moving abject.
@@peterjslevin4834WHILE IN HANDS TRAPPING. TWO PARTNERS CAN PRACTICE MOVING BACK AND FORTH. (WHILE MOVING, THERE A TENDENCY FOR THE HANDS TO MOVE THEMSELVES AWAY FROM THE MOVEMENT.) DOING THIS, YOU ARE CHASING FOR A TRAP. SUCH STANDING IN PLACE TO CHI SAO TRAINING JUST BAD HABIT.
@@CBHDK59 true, one must also always seek an opening of the the opponents guard at the first opportunity and not get in to the habit of chasing hands and always seek the path of least resistance. Lat sau jik jun
wow ive watched this video every now and then for a couple of years since training, and it has taken me about 4+ years training in WT to properly understand how good this is and how hard it is to achieve this level of chi sao
***** the trolls dont want to hear facts - let them believe it is paddy cake - and then marvel at the speed when they see a real fight: "it was too fast, i didnt see any techniques.. it was just wild bashing!!" "yep, but the wing chun guy is still standing, and the other is not... right?" "....cheater.. hacker..." thats the usual way conversations go :-)
***** i am happy for you mate. knifes are bad - i would have knocked the man out, especially if he had friends. it was lucky his grip was so loose.. he was surprised... i have been tought to grab the wrist - if circumstances allow - in order not to give him the chance to thrust a 2nd time. So maybe i would grab the wrist after initial defense (sticky hands) with both hands and then bend the hand until he goes down in pain.(if you take his wrist and palm in both your hands and then bend it backwards full force there is nothing he can do, he will drop the weapon) - even if he uses the opening in my defense with the other hand, i rather take a fist to my face, than give him another chance with the blade. alternatively, if youre outside of his wrist hand, take his wrist in with your blocking hand (maan-sao) and stretch it out in his original vector (lap-sao) keep it stretched while you do a 180 degree turn with your body close to him, so you can ram his outstretched arm with your other side shoulder - his ellbow-joint will break. And he will not attack you with that knife hand again. just a few examples.. there is more. anyhow, cannot be explained well enough in forum , this need to be trained (very carefully.. its easy to damage training partner with this drill) - also depend on whether knife is trusted , or slashed etc etc anyhow, well done - happy you got out of the situation.
***** he is right, do not focus on the knife - but the wrist holding the knife. dont grab the blade - and dont allow the opponent to have 2nd and 3rd try with the blade either... it does make sense, doesnt it? of course in wing chun we do many things same time - so deflection, lapsao, - is in parallel with the punch/kicks to throat and groin... followed by disarming ....but as i said earlier: i cannot explain it well in writing, i would be happy to demo this life - and then you may see that our philosophies match closer than it appear now. And we also havent established whether the attack is the same that i have in front of my inner eye now... thrust, hack, slash, deep, high, backhand?, forehand? , inside , outside ... etc etc etc but one thing is key - do not give that guy more than one chance to attack, you have to disarm him, or disable him or both. if you ignore the knife and punch his face only - then you are playing with your lifes and you will pay a very high tuition fee for that lesson
Great chisao... to people from other MA, chi sao is not a fight, it is a teaching technique for reflexes. By this technique you learn to feel hands of enemy when you contact them on your way to enemy throat and you also learn how to flow around enemys hands. You can see Emin is not hitin his sparring partner, but slightly touching his forehead to let him know he passed trough his posture. Deffinetelly not a fight. I like this chisao demonstration. Si-fu Emin is imho really good at WT.
I really like boztepe but his Chi Sao is sloppy but he does find a way for it to work. I respect his hybrid style that do bring effectiveness to the concept. If you want to learn the right way check out Philipp Bayer and watch what he has to offer or anyone who is under Wong Shun Leung. I studied under someone before and literally had to start over because i had it all wrong. Also look up David Peterson. He explains it completely better than anyone else.
love wing chun and dont regret it,it makes more sense than most martial arts,you may have practiced 12 years but you could have spent all of that time without really putting effort to it,if you practice with a closed mind i dont think that you will be able to achieve anything,wing chun as any other martial arts takes training,the higher level you get on these exercises the toughest it is to do it making it as real as a street fight,what you are watching is just a small and simple demonstration
I always enjoy Eminent Bozte's videos. Technique is phennominal. I am a fan for sure. I currently am a student of Krav Maga and truly enjoy it. it is extremely effective in a fealty life scenario as is this style of Wing Chun.
I attended a seminar of Si-fu Emin Boztepe two months ago. Both him and Randy Couture proved me wrong that age means something in fighting. It is all about training and commitment. He still says people talk shit about him or his art are free to challenge him, but I think no one is going to do that for a long while.
Exceptional chi sao. He rarely breaks stick and beats the opponent on perfect lines of attack. Rather than many demos where stick is broken and relies on 'tricks'.
this video is one reason why i love wing chun - constant focus on attacking and creating openings/using openings and gaps which ur opponent creates, that allow the skilled wing chun practitioner to take advantage of
(wrist pushing ) This called Lap Sau, but the rolling is Poon Sau. What your are watching Chi Sau. Remember this is just an exercise Si Fu Emin is showing how when someone makes contact and you just react to the pressure that is given. By the way Si Sok Michael Casey the gentleman on the left is just his demo partner. I have been to several seminar's with Si Sok Michael and don't let the video fool you he is very good. When you watch this video this just shows you how skilled Si Fu Emin is.
@VegaManX7. Thats great. I did Boxing, Muay Thai and now Wing Chun And im really happy now i love Wing Chun and i'm in love with it and want it forever.
Si-fu Emin Boztepe Is the Best Master in the History of Wing Chun, He is not a legend, He is REAL.He is the ONE, he is a brilliant man and great and powerfull fighter.
Wing chun is the most effective martial art system, and is the one that everyone should learn first. This system is based upon scientific principles of the human skeletal structure. Key aspects of Wing chun are the understanding Centre line principle, maintaining a solid structure, relaxed chain punching and energy drills (such as the Chi Sao, sticky hands drill). Everything in the 3 hand forms are there for a reason and each movement has an specific application. Master this martial art first!
its weird people see chi sao and don't realize that its sensitivity training for the hands. it really improves a fighter at exchange range but its a training drill not how people fight. its a great way to hone techniques but correct path is best found in forms. and fighting is best learned through sparring! It is however a wonderful training drill and great fun, probably the most fun!
Very well said my brother seedsta. I have had many years of WC training in the past, and still enjoy training it to the guys in my gym who want to learn a bit about fighting. I love UFC and respect all martial arts for the discipline of training and practice not just fighting. Some people do not understand the difference between martial artists and fighters. Not all MA want to or need to fight, but they know how to. Peace
Chi sau is a very good drill that works even for visually impaired people. What seems speedy actually comes tactile input and output, which combined with muscular memory movements is the fastest way to act in unknown conditions.
I was like 15 years old when I attended a year of training. The moves stuck, they are still in my hand, and when last saturday at a party a lad tried to make some moves on my girl, I sent him flying by grabbing his throat without even considering what I am doing. The move was epic. I grabbed his right with my left hand stepped behind him with my right leg and grabbed his throat with my right hand. The guy didn't even know what happened he was so busy getting scared and searching for air. EPIC :)
Great Chi Sao trainning . You can see a lot of different Tecniques clearly By the way Dai Sifu Emin Boztepe is in Kartalkaya/ Bolu/ Turkey for The winter Camp
Very few people will argue with this. WT is primarily a close-range striking art. It will be more than enough for use against an untrained guy on the streets, but anyone who trains for the ring or against other martial artists becomes skilled in multiple martial arts. What I want to learn next is a good throwing-grappling martial art, or a groundfighting style other than bjj or wrestling.
@luisin1984 Just curious here, not criticizing anything. What would happen were you to meet an MMA fighter in a street brawl. Wouldn't knowing grappling be a necessity to win?
No, the primary purpose of Chi Sao (from the WT substyle) is to develop softness and practice advanced techniques. Notice how when Casey strikes, Emin shifts his stance and moves out of the way. If you're fighting someone big and strong, you might not be strong enough to move his attacks away from your body. In that case, you'll need to get out of the path of the strike. That's why we spend so much time with Chi Sao.
@MrSinantra i have taken tae kwon do as a youngster. Got really into shotokan in my teens. but now i've started wing chun and believe i found my martial art calling. it really feels right with me. u?
@EBB47 So should I just find a Wing Chun vs Boxing spar and see how they match up? I've sparred WC coming from a TKD and kickboxing background, but never tried a pure hands approach.
@necdodo he is turkish. emin means sure, boz means grey, tepe means hill. Boztepe was born in Eskişehir, Turkey, the second of six children. At the age of four, his family moved to Germany.
@EBB47 So you're saying a Wing Chun practitioner is always faster than another striker's punches? That is a little presumptuous... I also see a lot of punches in this chi sao that go directly to the other's raised chin. Won't a hook in motion keep going for the chin instead of stop?
@ajahni @lix2009 who did this definition? its not about where your arm or your elbow is, its about where the arm and the elbow of your enemy is, i keep my elbow outside as well, because letting my elbow sink and turn is easy enough when you are really relaxed, whatever the enemy can hit you at the sides when he followes you while you take your elbow in - try it out (: im just wondering how your triangle works without your elbows outside of the centerline
My style is Kuai Shou Pai Gung-fu, we have Wing Chun and JKD as a base for most of our techniques...I love doing Chi Sao, it is probably my favorite exercise to perform and this guy makes it look amazing...MAN I'M MOTIVATED TO TRAIN SOME MORE!!!!
I agree with you on the idea that a fighting style has more practical application than a martial art, however as far as my personal experience with WT goes it's very direct and practical. Depends on the teacher of course, and which art-ish elements he included. But the way I was instructed basically only involved how to take somebody out as fast as possible. I have not yet been in a situation where I needed to use it, but I think with some years experience it should have results.
@anakin: what you see as "weak" is actually called "soft". There is hard WC and there is soft WC. An incredible amount of internal strength can be achieved thru the proper practice of soft style gung fu, ie. bagua, tai chi and soft style WC, for example. Not to mention immense health benefits through chi cultivation.
Let me put it to you this way. All the people I train with are as fast if not faster then Emin. The speed comes from the form, you learn to leverage your bodyweight in WC over strength. The form aligns your center of gravity with your arm so your entire body smashes into your opponent through your fist. In most martial arts you train to develop better speed and power, in WC you train to loosen your joints so that your natural power can flow through them. In WC it really is all about the form
True. The mind will always be slower than the body. The only way the mind can be faster is by predicting an incoming attack and anticipating the opponent's rhythm (sensen no sen, moving before the opponent attacks). It takes a few years before Wing Chun becomes effective, but that's the case for most arts. Doing multiple styles is the best way to go though.
My Bjj instructor is an expert in Aikido and Aikido has some similarities(sp?) with Wing Tsun in the terms of energy flow,and he said that for self defense Wing Tsun is an excelent martial art to mix with Bjj.He said WT is great on its own but if it goes to the ground its robbed of all its attacks,thats why it should be mixed with a grappling art.
just like how a great musician can throw the rules of music out the window and still sound amazing, a great wing chun practioner can throw out the rules of wing chun and still dominate. In fact, to be a true martial artist, just like a true musician, you must know how and when to break the rules instinctively.
Best Chi Sau demonstration I have seen on youtube so far and I have watched tons of them. This guy is totally awesome. How do you get technique like that? Not good if your attacker has a cold though... That many palm strike bound to get a few bogies on the palm ha ha. Total respect to this Sifu.
Viva EBMAS! Go train with SIfu Emin and ask questions. He is a nice guy and a great teacher. He gets it if people do not agree with him. A little sparring though and one can draw one's own conclusions.
@necdodo emin boztepe is turkish..he moved to germany when he was little with his family ...there he studied judo , karate and box....at the age of 16 he began learning wing chun
The other guy looked like he is just there to make Boztepe look good. But it´s easy to judge from the outside. Boztepe seems to have a good feeling for pressure and counterpressure. He is pretty fast because he is using almost no energy. Everythings seems natural. Good vid.
just a drill everyone, no need to get alarmed and start calling it out. all it does is teach sensitivity to the arms so there is no though process, just a reaction, and it can be used in many other styles of fighting even in grappling
@reptile202 Yeah I also searched and read about Jiu Jitsu and I was really interested in it. but Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? I know for a fact that Jiu Jitsu is a Japanese martial arts. so what's the diffr. between those two?
Chi Sao is a DRILL. Its serves as an tool to help highten reflex and to feel force, so every one saying this stuiped please don't be so ignorent and don't troll on things you don't know about.its not ment to be used in real world application its only ment to help you.
I wanted someone from EBMAS to be in the video I put together. It ended up being Michael Casey and he was great. Both these guys to keep most peoples you know what.
