its a badge of honor to be the instructors guinea pig. my instructor busted me in the mouth and split my lip last week demonstrating how we should respond to someone trying to grab us..bwhahahaha. your always glad you get picked but you also know your about to get busted up, folded over or dumped on the asphalt. we work out on the parking lot surface even if its raining or hardwood floors in the winter
@@unclestrawberryaytedan6011 what. my instructor. you ever try and beat your instructors ass. beyond the utter disrespect dudes forgotten way more than ive ever known. or worse, you think im the same ego driven dip stick you are but i assure you my friend a busted lip and some blood has never made me feel any kinda way. Im 50, Ive been thrown hands since i was 10 ill keep thrown hands and superficial wounds will never get my attention. ill wear a black eye and say i got busted with pride if thats what happened.
Great instructional video! I just started taking Wing Chun classes, and your videos are most helpful with understanding the application of various techniques and concepts.
Thank you for your teachings!!! I‘m myself a Wing Chun practitioner for over 18 years and martial arts instructor, but since I subscribed for your online classes I made huge progress! I can only recommend Adam Chan Kung Fu classes! regards from switzerland
Thank you for your teachings!!! It gets a little bit problematic to keep the centerline occupied if Chris makes half-step backwards or sideways and throws a hook. When I usually try to create pressure through centerline, opponent throws punches by turning his body, and this turning works as sort of a defence, helps his avoid my punches. And of course, what is more crutial you can't see those hooks coming, cause you are too close. So the only solution I found for myself is get out of that distance as fast as i can or get into a clinch. That got me stuck between win chun and boxing 🙄
Hi sir Adam. Would like to ask if can you show us in the future of a clip of an actual sparring utilizing wing chun in your school. I'm really curious about the difference between the movie choreograph wing chun and the actual wing chun application in a battle or fight.
If i may add something to your explanation. I totally agree with you saying that after the first hit you just occupy your centre and throw the next hit and hit hit hit just hit the guy. I want to add to this concept that i always hit and take little side steps to the outside while hitting my opponent. Also i believe that headmovement is very important as i believe its not very common in Wing Chun. I want to ask what do think about that. Cuz I believe by throwing shots and especcially your last shot headmovement is important to get away from a possible counter. As last i want to say that in a fight or as a fighter you should except that you are and will get hit. We are not in a movie....except and return the shot. May the best man, hopefully the good guy stand strong.
Well said and I fully agree with your head movement comment there. That's why I personally believe in mixing other fighting forms into your training. A mix of wrestling boxing and Wingchun and your opponent might be in a "little" trouble as long as you know how to apply your forms in the moment.
agreed. im willing to give up 1 or 2 to get inside and land the strikes i want to dish out (sternum, kidneys). moving off tilted on your opponent also reduces how many of his "weapons" he can aim at you while opening up access to that kidney. good point.
lol .... its not because im quick ....... then shows ligthing fast handz bwhahahahaaaaa. I dont practice wingchun but im always lookn at different arts to see how they address different situations. because in street fights there are no "compliant participants" and even an "untrained" guy/girl can be dangerous alla the neighborhood knockout artist and others that have say a higher treshold for pain tolerance. i like the idea of occupying the centerline as i prefer inside close work. ive studied akido but im not gonna grab you, i have a BB in taekwondo but im not gonna spinning hook you either. you never know how many people are coming at you so i never want to engage anyone for more than a couple seconds at a time, doesnt mean i drop them. means i create space which translates into time to avoid tunnel vision (the footwork development in taekwondo is AMAZING in that respect, the idea i can move 6-7' in a split second being sorta fat and old alone was worth my tko education). in addition the art i study now assumes there is more than 1 attacker. being able to shut down ballistic strikes as they develop will help even fat guys like me look quick
You ever get that feeling when someone comes up your center like you just wanna turn away ..like yikes? Well that's what he's talking about,, that center control where you are ambidextrous and he's blocking ! 👍
Hi Adam, your videos are always educational and great value. No disrespect to you but time to put your student to test. Can we have a video with Chris showing his moves.. 😂
What is wing Chung answer two looping hooking punches overhand right left hook big leaping in uppercuts it seems like defense is lacking for these kind of shots ?
Notice the difference @1:17 and @2:07 we see something not too often seen by Adam, he's moving his horse into the partner... This is essential and should be linked with the strikes, also something not seen when Adam, or anyone does the super fast chain punches that are not linked with the stepping in...
Great lessons as always brother. But please, for the love of god block these troll clowns that have nothing but trash talk for you (e.g. outofthebox7).❤
if your in control of your ego, trolls and haters are water under the bridge. so let them make foolz of themselves and take pleasure in the little things .... like karma. only i pronounce it like HA-HA-Ha-Ha
The philosophy yes ... The statement no. I think youre the best but i have a different experience ONLY when in that position, in most positions true you can't know or defend yet you still can in a generic way. So I mostly disagree then. Though I like you. So if I am in a flanking outside position away from their power arm no i don't know the angle but I know for sure a lot of things and it is slower if they are that open flanked outside. If they aren't it becomes hard. You can basically just offer up a head frame or dodge but it's hard to gate block without ending up chasing hands. Its still true you can be in the center on offense ... And beat a counter. But a lot of people slip away or trade too. You need what for that then because that's the real problem. But that's getting ahead. Maybe not even the point. That's harder I wonder what you would do.
Yeah, it's been my experience too. People just trade, or dodge. If you flank, then this can be pulled off for a shot or two. If he turns in time (not flanked), then you're screwed, cannot gate block in time (unless he's a beginner and slow at the same time).
Better to be off the opponents centre line altogether in my opinion and have him on yours by using footwork and angling off to the side. Creating angles slows the opponent down even more. It puts you one move ahead of your opponent (he has to turn and face before he can attack). If you use angles and pressure (while he turns to face you move his centre of gravity) to take his structure he can’t move against you at all. This works in boxing and definitely works in wing chun.
@@QuentinKLEau that’s what I mean. The opponent has his centre facing forward but you, having shifted to an angle are no longer on his centre line. He, however, is still on your centreline; you are facing him with all your weapons ready to hit.
@@danielwilliamson275 I still see no real difference. I only see a big circle and a smaller one, therefore some handling of time and space difference. Especially in wing chuan, with the natural triangulation due to the body, you will always have circles. I think you are perceiving there is no big circle in wing chun is because for demonstration there is already a situation of control, therefore you can go for "small", but in real combat, you want to know the reach and speed of your opponent first, therefore it is wiser to go "big" to begin with.
@@danielwilliamson275 You will understand later that we are talking about the same thing. It's like mathematics, need some time to understand/assimilate.
Hello I am taking Adam 's online classes. Even though there is no substitute for in person lessons; There are 2 video's about on the channel about a beginner learning the first form. Adam's classes are very detailed information about application, form, energetics. I personally felt a bit overwhelmed but have been pacing myself working on the basics using the archive and the RU-vid channel as resources. Adam answers questions in the comments of the lessons so I would recommend.
@@shadowninja569 Thank you for this. I asked because a buddy of mine is taking a BJJ course online where students set up cameras so the instructor can, to a greater or lesser extent, evaluate and comment on their form.
I've done it multiple times. Works well enough, after a good shot to their head (they forget about the arm for a second). The hit to the arm "arm break" is much easier than the control and get them to the floor "arm break", because you have to go slower for safety, which gives the opponent time to get out of the technique. But yeah, I've sparred for almost 10 years now, it's still really hard to pull off (like everything else, for that matter) on a fully resisting opponent.
Decent concepts, but the guy he's using as an example strikes once, stops and then leans his head in to Adam. That won't happen in a real fight. Plus it's impossible to learn Wing Chun structure and sensitivity through a video. If you've learned it hands on these videos offer insight. If not, don't believe you can learn any skill off the internet-you'll get your ass kicked.
@@michaelreynolds6543 I already said it's a concept and that you can learn from videos after you learn fundamentals. Obviously, your way behind the level I am at.
He should put those guys to work out,,they are to heavy,, I really don't understand what he's saying,, can you talk broken English please,,he also is talking fast and demonstrates fast that's no good because you need to show step by step,, and show something for the elderly people for crying out loud 😔🙏🧚
@@axelstone3131 ,, God bless you sweetheart,, you wright,, I should go back to school,, but can you imagine a 65 old lady like me going back to school,, but it's a good idea,, and by the way sarcasm,,, tell's me that you really like this young man that is teaching,, have a great day kid and God bless you.
