So, I finally decided to start shooting my own Kung Fu Lessons Online 🙂 .
This is my first training video…
I’ve decided I am going to focus my videos on beginner students. In this video I am going to help you break the bad habit of reacting to a punch.
You don’t have to focus on good technique in this lesson. While it’s always important to use proper technique and structure, the point of the lesson is to focus on creating responses rather than creating reactions.
What do I mean by creating responses rather than reactions? The reaction I am talking about is flinching… Like when someone goes to punch you or when you are chasing someones hands rather than doing a trained response.
Basically a reaction is something that you probably already do naturally. In martial arts it’s better to turn those reactions into trained responses. The intro footage to this video was taken from a random video I shot with Jamie. Be on the lookout, later this week she will share more of that video with you.
Hi, new here?
Sign up to get access to our complimentary Intro membership. You will get our Ngo Dac Na Intro series as well as our Ngo Dac Na ebook plus some great bonus training too! And yes... It's really free.
To do this exercise properly, the person who is practicing turning their reaction into a response needs to be able to cycle punch and block with a Tan Sao block. You can refer to the Wing Chun lessons inside Enter Shaolin’s training portal to learn more about the Tan Sao.
The person who is faking the punch should throw their punches in random intervals, so the person practicing does not get caught in a pattern.
Enjoyed this training video! You guys explain and demonstrate the purpose of the training very well. It is appreciated!
Your welcome! 🙂
Hi ! I would like to know what’s the real combat stance of Wing Chun. Because the “Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma” or Goat stance is only meant for people like me who are learning which is only meant to be used for the first form? Please what is the real combat stance? Thanks !
There isn’t just one fighting stance. This is because from moment to moment the energy changes. Before there is contact with your opponent any stance is a good stance. We tend to stand in a 90/10 stance also known as a front stance and cat stance.
we have done this many times, and every time we release the hand we fall in the same situation, a very interesting idea to train responses. thanks sifu phu, sifu larry & madam jaime, Godblessyou always!
Thank you so much Zapp, we are happy you enjoyed this quick training tip. God bless you too! 🙂
Thank you Larry and Jamie for your heartfelt training!
You’re welcome! We have more lessons to put out. This up coming year we plan on shooting more film.
