Show me (us) what you can do>!!!

I like your stuff buddy... in case I haven't made that clear?

There are a number of styles of SILAT that have certain softer (kung-fu) styles influence.... I may have been exposed to that deliberate (almost slow-ish) style of checking and attachment deflection movement... I need more!

Thanks kindly as always KOTF...

Faster, harder!

1) Purple heart armory.

2)Yes bout 100 bucks. The arms and base ar 4x4's I turned them on a lathe myself. The tree came from my father in laws yard.

3) Basically yes. It's relaxed power that ends in a whip, with the force being directed through the palm. I'm thinking of filming a little more, it's a blast to do, and loads of fun.

Yo King...a few questions...
1) where did you get those Indian Clubs ...
2) is that dummy home-made? how much did it end up costing you and where did you pick up the materials?
3) I really liked the bag work...those all Chinese style strikes? I liked the flow and rythm of them, I really feel like putting some of those in with my thai.

2 arms, 2 legs, rhythmic pattern. Looks like alot of fun.

[kingoftheforest]

It's my fault. I saw the 1-2-3 pattern on the dummy and my brain said "hubud" some reason.

It has some similarities I'm sure.

Nothing wrong with my ego, just plenty wrong with your hearing.

Nobody tried to pass the vid in question off as WC or knife defense or hubud.

And if you are part of Eargrinds crew I doubt you came in here with honorable intentions, or the idea that you were doing anything but ridiculing someone.

Your group is well known around the internet for that type of thing.

Humble your not that's for sure. You made your self look like a fool 2 times in one thread. Bow out and save face since your other attempts have only landed you on your face.

Concerns.....LOL just a few!!!

I'll start with the questions first though....if you dont mind.

How long have you been doing Wing Chun?

Who taught you?

Do you have any students? If so do you charge them?

FYI :

I have been training WC for 7 years my lineage is Ip Man > Ip Chun > Colin Ward > me

they must sure be proud of you.

[Da Pope]

Just being curious, Unkatore...

[jubaji]

Keep digging, Wingnut...

[Da Pope]

Do you have any footage of sparring your school does?

It would be good for me to see the finished article, if you get what I mean?

Please dont take this the wrong way.

[kingoftheforest]

We practice defending against such punches a lot because they are a common tool used by the untrained.

There are numerous ways to defend yourself with not one really being superior because it's the result that matters i.e. you surviving and your attacker losing.

I like to close the distance rendering his strikes ineffectual as he needs the space to lanuch and connect with them. Remember there are 3 things needed for effective strikes: Grounding, Distance and Torque If you take away one of those things from your opponent, his strikes will become ineffectual.

By closing the gap....and when you do this it's obviously a good idea to have a covering guard, lead with one hand and jam his strikes at his shoulder level and move in with palm/elbow strikes or use a grappling move if that's your speciality. Doing this takes away your opponents distance needed for his strikes. Try hitting someone when they have you wrapped up tight....yes you can hit him but can you hurt him?

Alternatively, you can keep your distance, get off his line of attack, weave under the strikes into a takedown or run away among others.

Mr A. with regards to the side step front kick, I would be reluctant to kick at all in a street fight as I need my grounding in order to effectively strike my opponent and maintain balance. I realise a front kick is pretty simple in the greater scheme of things but I would prefer to not risk it as opposed to keeping both feet on the ground and using hands/elbows instead.

We use a similar technique also. I showed a simple form called the dive in the vid in the Master Wong thread if I'm not mistaken.

You move into the opponent covering yourself and take away his "root" or as you called it grounding.

This also removes the room your opponent needs to attack thus smothering him.

If your not apt to kick you can come down on the opponents foot, pinning it to the ground, as you continue to press forward, stealing his root even more, and possibly toppling him over backwards.

I don't really like the moving away option because it gives your opponent a chance to get another shot in. In what we do at least, you always want to exhibit forward pressure or move around your opponent, but always in close.

Otherwise I agree with most of what WW suggest.
