Wing Chun’s Snake Body Crane Limbs 

very cool. great to see the old footage.

Fantastic video Sifu, thanks for taking the time out from your busy schedule to share with us 🙏😊

Saw this. That was cool. I always knew it seemed like those arts in particular just FELT RIGHT. 😎🙏💯

Nice video, thanks for sharing!

Thank you 🤙🏼

Thank's very much Sifu,see you later

This was a really great video Sifu Sergio. I have been a big fan of yours and have followed your RU-vid channel and videos for over a decade now. I wish I could study in person with you or one of your top senior students, but since I am located in the US and don't travel, that is not an option for me. I checked out your online school, but you only offer lessons in drips and drabs offering only 1 video per week, that equates to only 4 videos per month. I am almost 60 years old, and not in the best of shape with a limited amount of time left. I need to progress faster than 1 video a week. Anyway thank you for this informative video and I look forward to your future videos.

Thank you. Very informative. This distance stuff is very important since so many people doesn't seem to know these things and for them Wing Chun is kinda like rigid body boxing from chi sao training range. I know the very basics of internal engine but snake engine is still mostly mystery for me - what it adds to internal engine and how to define it. Answer lies somewhere in Emei and snake reeling section of 1850 Siu Nim Tau. It has something to do with direct, roundabout and recovery momentum handling 🤔 Waiting to experience it so I can get some reference point. Sorry, I kinda output these monologues to arrange my thoughts and to learn 😅 According to my experience it is a good thing to stand on own two feet, play with stuff from all directions and try to detect connections between it's parts to develop insight.

Basic skill White Crane of Wing Chun, and Fujian. and the origin of Karate. Also South Mantis Fist .

Interesting The last video about Yang taiji was 5 months ago. Will you share another one soon? Thanks for your work

Yes, in the (our) old days i often wonder, why KK tell us that Chi Sao Position is H2H, if i have always do a Step to come to the Partner or if i stretch my fist i am not at him.. Is this here the right meaning of .. i think Leung Ting tell us in WT Kuen .. this will be trained in the Biu Tze? The story of Yip Man where his foots are rooted and his limb could be extreme flexible? Greetings

I Previously considered my Wing Chun punch, to be of a pretty decent power... However, it wasnt until I specifically decided to develop maximum short range power... that I attained a whole other level of impact potentials, via Fully Mastered Fajin expression. Well beyond Lethal levels of power, within less than 2 inches of Runway... Sergio, my question to you... is about Finger Strikes / Dim Mak. Is Specific Dim Mak points, part of the Biu Gee / Wing Chun training? Ive seen the Dim Mak points shown in some WC books... but as far as I know (I never got to finish learning the full art... because all of my Sifu's kept moving) ...that it may not specifically taught in any WC schools. After developing Masterclass levels of Fajin... I easily recognized that its the reason why people like George Dillman have completely unreliable Dim Mak / Pressure Point striking results. He has never developed actual Fajin expression... so his methods only seem to work (at best / if at all), against extremely weak and out of shape students (and also, likely because they are Subconsciously cooperating, too). Fajin is the true Secret to actual, Real, Dim Mak results... such as causing so much internal Inflammation, that bloodflow circulation, is severely reduced (or at highest levels.. you simply cause an actual Rupture... causing internal bleeding / d3ath) Of course, you could just use a fajin fist strike to the forehead, and cause instant brain damages / ruptures... so maybe its not really needed to be part of the teachings... Especially Since WC is a Reduced / Simplified Artform... and learning and mastering precision point striking, may have required too much time to develop. However, I have wondered if teachers like Yipman may have learned these points, and methods... but potentially refused to teach them to Others. I had read, that Yipman had only every taught the Butterfly Swords, to two people in his entire Life... and that only a select few were ever allowed to learn the 3rd level of Wing Chun teachings. Ive speculated, that Yipman held a lot of key things back intentionally... Likely because a lot of Secret Gangsters, may have been taking his classes. That, or special students that were learning + passing the class lessons to certain Gangsters. One of the former students told a story about Yipman teaching him... and asking him the question: "How do you know that Im teaching you REAL Wing Chun?" I tend to believe, this question was intended to make the student go out and Test everything, for themselves. But it could also HINT at certain "key" things... being intentionally taught incorrect, too.

Would you say that this range you are showing is slightly closer than Hong Kong WC? All of your strikes were open hand palm strikes - are these the white Crane arms ? Any elbows or forearm filing strikes at this range? Or are you too close? Or is it just a preference? Thx

You should test this technique in sparring with Xu Xiaodong!!!

Seems this cleared up a lot of misunderstandings. At least for me.

Bagua has Snake Body, WC has Stick Up Ass Body. WC is useless, Hakka Tong Long is the Short Power answer.
