This is a very helpful tutorial Kevin. I like the step-by-step breakdown. I can now visualize what Sifu Fong was teaching you guys at a much slower speed.
Thank you, Kevin for sharing this clip. Great way to explain the basic trapping & follow ups. See you in the new yr. Be joining the FFMAA AffilIate program next month. Thank you again ,happy New year.
I'm someone who's currently doing a lot of boxing work and with very little Wing Chun experience. Question: after tying up the hands, is there a reason to not drive the hips and turn 2 into a full uppercut to the chin/nose at that point?
I train Jkd, and what you asked is what my instructor has recommended. He's taught me to use a straight punch, though I don't see why an uppercut wouldn't work
Really helpful. Would love to see more of this. I've been doing wing chun for several years but fall into habits of using the same couple of traps. Are there any drills to practice without a partner?
Yes, they could avoid the trap, but the strike should still land. From there it's a simple step right and you're in a position to finish the fight. You could always counter-trap the bong sao as well.
Is there any reason in particular on # 2 that you don't punch since you already have the line? Using your intercepting fist to simultaneously cut through his arms and strike him?
I couldn't afford to take wing chun when i was growing up < and they did not teach it in small town Arkansas where i lived>, so I created my own snake and crane. I came up with TaeKwonDo as Crane and Qigong as snake. what I did was change the loud kihap of taedwondo to a silent kill strike in Quging with controlled breathing and calm emotion no yelling just a focused quigong kill strike. I only got to brown belt in Taedwondo and some videos on qugong combined them the best i could I was picturing myself as a snake and a crane then one day fishing on the swamp in southern Arkansas I saw a snake get ate by a crane then a few minutes later the crane was eaten an Alligator " LOL right So then I had a vision of my woo shoo I had been working on and called it "Alligator form" from the term snake and crane but changed it to "Snake in Crane Be Like Water Wing Chung!" meaning weather snake eats crane or crane eats snake the Allgator would eat both and make Gator Poop out of um or "Wing Chung" LOL's right the water was so calm after the alligator ate the crane that ate the snake, it was like it was never there so calm after words anyways watched this video and thought i would share. thanks for sharing great video Thanks Wing Chun you inspired me. I came up with Alligator Form thanks! now u can always mess with someone and ask um if they've learnt Alligator Form yet & see what the say. LOL's
Trapping is complex mostly used in wing Chun and silat I've practiced silat for 3 years and just scratching the surface of it gets very complex and so many windows open with trapping
Everytime I hear Wing Chung, I can't help it but to feel the need to sing "Everybody have fun tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight Everybody have fun tonight Everybody Wang Chung tonight Everybody have fun...", 😂. I wonder who'll get it and know the song too??😂
People get this wrong all the time. The trap isn't about isolation of a limb or pin those things can happen but it isn't what trapping sequences are about. When you pa da and the opponent paks your da is one trap, you bil sau his pak is another trap, you lap da his bil is another trap, he paks, and you pak da opposite side. This sequence is the basics of trapping your drawing a picture of the yin yang ☯️ and your opponent is trapped only being able to use pak on either side of your attack, that's what complex trapping is. What you are doing is chi sao.
No one out side of wing chun fights like that. There are 1000s of street fights on youtube now to study. Wing chun looks pretty but so does Akido. No disrespect guys sorry.
