Awesome. Thanks for this video. Most people are closet experts and down traditional arts such as Wing Chun. You really demonstrate the importance of the training that these systems offer. Rather than being an effective technique for fighting its better for understanding principles like recovery from getting trapped (crossing over your centerline). Otherwise people see pak sau as a technique and become dependent on it and the training stops! Oh I’ve mastered pak sau so now I know wing Chun, I’m going to get in the ring now. Please don’t do this! Train till you understand the patterns and keep training until you learn the principles and then you can forget techniques! Hope this helps someone new to Wing Chun or anything like it! All martial arts are related!
4:53 “That side PAK is actually another type of pak altogether.. it’s called a “TOI-PAK” n it pushes off to the side, n we usually parry deep.. go inside with the helping hand.. fantastic video.. love the instructional
Hey bud! Glad the sites doing well.. I started my own n it’s bumping.. I still always tune in to your ideas and training.. I trust your experience, and can only hope to CHI SAO or run hands some time just to share stuff..👍💥😎🙏
Sifu Adam, what’s that muscle you advocated pressing? I’m from PB WSL lineage and my rotator cuffs are toast real quick trying to defend the centre again hard pressure.
@@Dimmo37 That's not even an argument. If you're going to make an assertion, back it up. Are there principles being violated and what are the downsides? What Adam does that's great is back up the 'movements' of Wing Chung with body structure principles that also exist in other arts. Being stuck on techniques only being able to be executed to a singular "WSL" lineage method is what causes traditional arts to be stagnant. Older masters learned and added to their art all the time, that's why lineages exists.
@@KevinTangYT Yes, principles, mechanics, tactics, strategies etc, they all differ! Even within the sub branches within the same lineage! TWC for one, uses longer distance and outside fighting strategy, so it has a specific footwork, angles, etc. WSL is in-fighting method, which dominates the center. In WSL the training of the elbow is the main focus of SLT and Chi Sao, in other lineages SLT means all sorts of things. In WSL, "there is no Tan or Fook Sao per se" as blocks/techniques/ applications. They both train the punch, tan sao from inside, fook from outside of the opponent's arm, so both are concepts and not techniques. In TWC and many other lineages, Tan and Fook are actual techniques and there are even applications. In WSL forms train the principles not fighting applications. Chi Sao is toatlly different as well...And so on... So, is mixing really possible??? Even mixing Philipp Bayer's WSL with Gary Lam's or Wan Kam Leung is impossible! So, try and do it, in real training not in your head! Peoople who advocate this, are usually the one who have poor Wing Chun background in any lineage, who never complete the system anywhere, so pick up or copy things here and there..It is like mixing Islam and Judaism, or Protestantism and Catholicism?? Or even Evangelism and Jehovism. Do you think this is possible? I have practiced Trad. Wing Chun (Wiliam Cheung lineage) for some 20+ years before discovering WSL, so I know thing or two:)
