Wing Chun CANNOT Handle Real Fighting Pressure 

...good analysis and demonstration. Thaniks.

Love you shirt.

Real Talk. I have been trucked before by a big guy and had to adjust for this. Getting trucked really made me address how to dissolve force.

Yielding.

Makes sense indeed! Many thanks! :)

Great wing Chun technician

This is why I have been drawn to Kung Fu. Practal use. I don't need a belt. I need to live to fight another day. Thank you.

FYI, the standing on a scale and showing the weight going up has nothing to do with how they stop an incoming person. It is simply a test of how solid the stance is, which is obviously important when punching and kicking, etc. He didn’t use the term party trick, but Grandmaster Chu (Ip Man’s longest serving student) understood that it impressed people that he could do it. He was quite open that redirecting someone’s force to the ground was not something he did. He would effectively return the force as soon as they made contact with his arm. It was a very surreal feeling. It has taken me years to learn how to do that. Even then, I would only say I am okay at it. I would guess only 10 or 20 people can do that well. Which is the conundrum with Wing Chun. It’s easy to learn, but it takes a really long time to master it. Hence why you can correctly point out how deficient so many Wing Chun practitioners are and unprepared for real fighting.

Nice thanks

Love that shirt!

Guy with glasses is a badass he fought a full grown polar bear .

I agree , this is not 1950's Hong Kong ; I honestly doubt Ip Man was as rigid on posture as people make him out to be . Peace Be Upon Him though

so the pivot/turn can collapse into toi ma (didn't see that demonstrated). And you won't do more than one pivot at a time in a fight (probably the initial movement, or one re-face in terms of a counter). The brilliance of the pivot is that it exists in a spectrum that can collapse into a more easily defensible position as needed, without thought, when trained properly.

I am considering being more proactive as well. Instead of waiting for and receiving the attack, we can move forward to intercept and counter the attack. I found that it is more manageable for me. In that way, I have more choices in posture and position.

Yep. Once the other person's mass comes in contact with your center with momentum you're done. You gotta take a step 'cuz that mass will replace yours in space. The turn is a great way to keep ground and not get chased down by moving offline not backwards. Matadors don't run from the bull in a straight line.... rodeo clowns do. Wing Chun may look funny but it aint for clowns lol

In other words de sensitize to aggression. Stress test the shapes and see how they can function in the heat of the moment.

Betul sih...Footwork is everything. Tapi saat berlatih, semua itu harus dilalui...Yie Gie kim yeung ma, berubah ke shifting lalu berubah ke Stepping, kemudian baru lah digabung dan di kombinasi kan menjadi permainan footwork. Klo mau langsung UFC dan MMA yach campur aj dengan beladiri lain, tidak perlu belajar konsep wingchun yg menghabiskan waktu dan pemahaman mendalam.

3:37 you stepped in turned???? i thought you hated willieam cheung's tactics? cuz that was totally what we did at his school.. when we can't take the energy we evade it and/or (but usually "and") redirect it, and you can't evade very well without taking a step.

Never mind the wing chun, that's always good, the man is wearing a JESUS tee-shirt, GOD BLESS U, that's what I love, a christian warrior

I'm amateur in wing chun, but your sifu must not have taught you about soft hard energy. Or how to deflect and attack that push. I'm new, but he couldn't do that to me.

Bill Cheung lineage steps all over the place...... 🙄🤔

太極拳

Dom, in your 'TWC is garbage' video your criticize TWC for stepping and turning. Yet here you say 'stepping and turning is how the problem will always be solved....stepping is everything" What you show here and reasons you explain why you step is exactly what I was taught at GM Chuengs school, including the full side step (stepping off line) which you do a pretty good example off at 4:03. I enjoy your videos and would love an answer because what your demonstrating here seems contradictory to your TWC vid. Thanks

Can anyone believe the R.A.T. advertisement with the old, rich guy from Caddyshack before these videos? He's denouncing "traditional martial arts," when Vunak learned Taekwando, Kenpo, Hung Gar, JKD and Kali. Not very tactful if your prospective customers are aware of this.

Why are you so deeply invested in this nonsense style?? If you took all this energy you have for Wing Chun and spent two years training Muay Thai, you'd be a 10x better fighter than if you spent the whole rest of your life on this WC nonsense.
