Dan Lok sir we can only put our max force in our first punch only but if we our throwing consecutive punches like a machine gun then we can't always move our body suddenly with force towards our opponrnt with every punch because we have to be fast nd if we try to be fast then we loose power nd if we loose speed we gain power.How to combine them both in a punch?plz tell me.
ty very much for your video it came into my life at the best possible time you are also very fast sir i almost lost your fist for a second when you punched for real
My friend thought me 3 things most basic as a wing chun user, those 3 are Discipline, humble and Low Profile. "Don't focusing becoming stronger but focus how to overcome yourself cos your worst enemy is yourself"
What you said was “using your structure” was very reminiscent of what we called bone alignment in my time with kenpo karate. The point of it for us was more focused on having a strong blocking arm position so you wouldn’t give way and smack yourself when someone hit your guard.
Perhaps the best explanation of the slight curvature of the strike to generate force. Thanks for giving me a better understanding. I'm trying to learn on my own currently.
Dan is right. Use more than your arm, your muscles... Use your body, the hips for a stronger and firmer punch, to be specific. Also in the beginning of this video, Dan was talking about stances, the form we practice. Stances and the forms if your body is essential versus a little guy vs a big guy. If the little guy has a firm stance against the big guy, then 9/10 proper stances win most of the time.
Forward step energy, rotational waist energy, and sudden drop step energy. Ideally the fist hits milliseconds before the drop. At the same time is also fine. Arms relaxed when delivering, tighten the fist just before the impact. Make sure the fist is vertical to efficiently transfer force into the opponent.
Love Bruce and have read nearly all his teachings and have studied JTD as well as other Arts. Teaching these things to people you’ve never even met is reckless. I can tell you are well taught but any art can be destructive in the wrong hands. The teacher is responsible in many ways for his student’s actions. This is said with all do respect
I've noticed this in boxing! But I competed and trained a lot so you notice a lot of little things when you train that much! Your moving your whole body mass through the target with a snap on impact great stuff! If boxers condition their bare hands and arms the way you showed it that would make their punches with gloves on even harder
Would love to see Dan and octavio do some videos on pressure testing certain skills this was a favourite of Bruce Lee's. Pressure testing techniques to see what actually works
Sounds like taichi no wonder bruce mention taichi in his legendary interview plus the moment is wing chun and he added fencing and boxing and so many other arts amazing plus dont forget philosophy thanks sifu dan lok
That was an excellent explanation of how to make Wing Chun work I have struggled with this for quite some time as I've known some of the basics I've done Aikido for 9 years what you did at the end of this video is identical to what we do in Aikido to break the balance you have to drop the center and use the body as one fluid motion same concept just a different way of doing it thanks great video I'm going to incorporate this into my repertoire
I 've seen many of your vedeos and I like very much.I learn a lot of this vedeos they are great and very simple to learn and practice.Thank you very much.
All Chinese martial arts style emphasize on penetrating through the body, but wing chun is a bit special, compared to other powerful styles like xingyi and baji. The human body is separated into three parts, the upper dantian, the middle dantian and the lower dantian. From what I've known, the power executed by wing chun utilizes the middle dantian, whereas other style like xingyiquan and bajiquan uses the lower dantian
PS I should also say that force redirection is a classic Wing Chun concept, today at class we did a drill where attacker comes at you, straight punch, and we tan sau/pivot and strike the ribs, head, or abdomen with other hand or fist. Redirect force and could also trip, kick, etc.
Great relaxation, then stepping forward and the strike flows in sequence, the fist hits at the end of it. Great posture also, not lunging too far forward or leaning back, you also punched through the target instead of trying to pull your punch/jerk it back. Sometimes on the wall bag I practice a feel of a heavy, sinking hand that goes ‘thud’ on the target and the shock wave goes in, like inch punch. You can feel the difference if practicing with a friend and try it on the shoulder or chest lightly, thud instead of snap. When sifu does it you feel the strike internally. Great video again.
Cameraman be like "These guys are punching and stuff and... whoah, look at that girl in the background. Nice. Oh, right, I'm supposed to be filming these dudes for some reason. Okay they're punching and stuff and... that girl's got some legs! No, I'm here to tape these guys!"
Great techniques, sharing with friends. In box they used a lot the feet stregh for more powerful hits, and moving huckle... Or hip. But isnot possible to move huckle if you want to make many many hits continuetly
its Newton's 3rd Law, u r generating the punch from the leg. the punches & kicks actually start from the ground. its Fight 101. its also the origin of folk tales where characters are said to draw energy from the Earth.
This makes a lot of sense. I remember a video of a Shaolin Monk who came to America and did a demonstration where they were testing Bruce Lee's one-inch punch and different variations of it, to show how much force it generated. It literally generated the same force, when applied properly by the Monk, as a 60 mile an hour car crash, because it was being done on a crash test dummy, where they could measure it. It had enough to cause serious injury. It started from the feet, knees, legs, hips, torso and up through the body. It uses force from the ENTIRE body at once, channeled through to the fist and strike. Pretty incredible, cause it has the power to literally break bones. The Monk amazed the girl conducting the test and his simple answer was very similar to your's and he just said at the end "That's my Chi". Lol. You do an excellent job of explaining this same idea Dan Lok, on how to generate power!
30 mph, not 60. It was on Stan lee's superhumans. The guys strongest standing punch (not a one inch) was 770 lbs. Effectively what an amateur boxer would be expected to at least do (professionals can do double that). His one inch punch was not put into lbs of force. It was said to be able to crack a rib. And for perspective: it takes 60 lbs of force to crack a rib. This is ... Not much.
Mr. Lok I'am a new subscriber, you have awesome tutorials Thank you. My question for you is what's the difference in Your/Bruce lee J.K.D. art form and Taekwondo?. My brother spent some time in Vietnam during the 70's, we was enlisted in the Air force and also was a taekwondo student. Many of the examples that your teaching somewhat resemble what my brother thought me. Did Mr.Lee incorporate the two art forms or are they completely different subjects???. Kind regards, Eric Dee
What do you mean by relax, is that when you are in a ready stance, you don't have to put force into your hands and then suddenly release that power during your attack or strike moves?
So you're saying its down to forward and mid-punch? 😁 Kidding, just sounded like a street fighter move, but in a manner of speaking, that's what it is. Good video Sifu Lok, you explain things thoroughly.
Be formles shaples like water now you put water in a cup it becomes the cup you put in a bottle becomes the bottle you put in a teapot it becomes the teapot now water can flow or can crash be water my friend
Actually closing the gap hard enough is the punch itself! Spent years learning to close the gap properly the punch just flows out of the gap. You could just stick your hand out 🖐️ close the gap and knock someone on their rear.
