WING CHUN - Improve Punching Speed!! 

Thanks for the tip sifu! I appreciate it! Cheers.

Beautiful teaching. Win Chun is an "inner" art. I like that you mentioned "sensing" the intention. Most teachers don't speak of this.

Very valuable tips and things to take note! really enjoyed your teaching!

You are a Fantastic Instructer in updating us with the Theories and Body Mechanics of Wing Chun. It would be nice if you could explain each technique and applications in the wing chun forms, how to use it in self defence in todays time. As there are a lot of instructors out there are only showing you the forms and no real applications to a street fight. Thank you.

Great informative vid as per usual.Many thanks.

I love the video, I can't wait until I can get out there to train with you.

Very very well explained, Thank you sir

Very good instructor!

very good video and very informative. I hope one day to meet and learn from you or exchange ideas. if your ever in New York or in the U.S. please let me know thank you

good stuff.

Mindful Wing Chun, I assume you are the person giving the demonstration in the video, can you please explain what you meant in the video when you said at 2:45 and beyond, where you say it's not the relaxing of the shoulders that gives the expansion and relaxation it's the coat hanger effect. Can you please explain. Is there a video of you explaining this. I personally find that even after years of training everyone does stiffen their shoulders, especially when they are hit and being hit. It's something i'm trying to "delete" from my muscle memory." I do however completely understand your bone structure and relaxation explaination. It's still strong and using joints and bone structure but you are relaxed and expanding and it's still very strong, but it knows when to also give with the energy. But I'd like more information on what you said about the lowering and relaxing of the shoulders and the Hanger theory you spoke of.

Hello Sifu Nima.. I am just wondering if is it possible to learn your teachings by just watching your videos (but yeah I do understand that I have to feel it) is it okay to ask for a guidelines to understand the internal works? What's the sensation like? Thank you

question? so instead of some lineages that say you should sink your your horse stance I shouldn't sink? but I should straighten my spin as if I were standing straight up? because I would LOVE to learn how to do this! seriously

with the punches being lower, why don't you have them practise blocking with outside tan sao

@10:13.. leading hand should be pushed in Tan Sao or Bong Sao its depent of the direction of force!. .instead of block with a Bong if u Block whit Bong u mis the point..be like water and adapt force.....

Hi Nima at 3:15 you say its by doing "this" and it gets cut off. What was "this"?

Black Dynomite

9:02 the kid doing the bong should be doing it with a shift or stepping turn. Bong is never done directly up like that, even when doing chi sao we should shift or step to the side, even Don chi sao (1handed) it's best when doing exercises to do the bong with a shift properly. But besides that, everyone in the seminars you pull up are very terrible at punching. I don't mean to be insulting. Watching this video makes me feel like i'm better than I am lol. People are either throwing a punch way to stiff or so relaxed it's got no bone structure at all behind it.

Premoving? I think the word you are GROPING for is he is TELEGRAPHING his punch through the movement of the outward elbow, which has to move FIRST before anything else, letting you know the punch is coming! All boxing derivatives telegraph their intent because of the outward elbow, no matter what system it is. Since the elbow in wing chun is BEHIND the fist, and we initiate the movement with the elbow, this makes it very difficult to detect the sudden movement because of the fist, which blocks the elbow, and the fact that most concentrate on the fist and foot instead of the forward elbow and knee! The elbow and knee move at one half speed during a jab or straight kick, and one quarter speed during a hook or roundhouse kick. So you have a much better chance of catching it watching the elbow and knee. Tell me something, why is that so hard to explain? This is the problem I always have with you wing chun instructors! It seems to me that you don't know the system well enough to explain it in a way a rank beginner, someone who has NEVER had a lesson or heard of wing chun, can understand. See how I explained it? That's how YOU and all the others should be explaining your lessons. Or, some just don't speak English well enough to translate it into an explanation that a beginner can understand. This is a major problem and one of the reasons, I believe, that wing chun has lost its effectiveness (the modified version) over the generations. Teaching someone to blast in with chain punches is just wrong and very dangerous! This is what they are teaching in Europe now, especially Germany. The ONLY way wing chun works is when you use INITIAL CONTACT first to determine the type and direction of the strike, then from there you can either push the arm past center, causing an opening you can exploit, or you can MAKE AND MAINTAIN contact, as per the late great MASTER WONG SHUN LEUNG, following in his center of mass, trapping the arm AND leg, and finishing the fight quickly!! I would like to correct this ridiculous thinking that knowing an incomplete system, such as your modified system, is going to work well on the streets. Only ONE modified system works well on the streets, and that system is Wong Shun Leung's system because HE broke the system down to its core and found a way around the missing footwork by maintaining contact and entering in quickly! Modified has been changed and CRUCIAL elements, taken out, making the system much less effective than the original traditional system, which IS a complete system! Elements such as the correct stance (50/50 or 60/40, not 70/30, which sends your energy BACKWARD, not FORWARD) as it should and is a very crucial concept. This allows the opponent to overrun your energy with his, and his attack WILL get through! It is also missing the very crucial footwork (the circle inside the triangle), including the angled step to the outside of the attacking arm and a body rotation towards the attack to not only see it coming, but to stop it as well. THIS movement protects both centers, the center and central line! This isn't taught in modified as well. This simple movement pulls your body away from the attack and allows you to make contact and enter in SAFELY! Modified also only uses six of ten concepts, which adds lawed and stiffness, unlike its traditional cousin, which has NO initial flaws or stiffness due to the use of ALL TEN CONCEPTS AT ONCE! Even taking out ONE, such as the triangle, can weaken the structure, which weakens all other aspects of the system, such as your ability to maintain your structure, move forward quickly without having to RUN in, and weakens your techniques and strikes as well! This is why they don't do so well in ring fighting, because they don't know the whole system (which makes it work most effectively and efficiently). It is also why they don't do too well on the streets as well. For a system to work properly, it must have ALL the elements intact, including wing chun grappling (which uses all ten concepts), complete knowledge and UNDERSTANDING of the system (which, as I said above, many don't have). Only then will you be able to use this system effectively and efficiently against ALL OTHER SYSTEMS!

I think someone put magic mushrooms in this guys coffee

the more you babble, .....
