This was a lesson Sifu Phu gave on slipping the punch and counter hitting at our 2018 Washington DC Seminar.
Speaking of seminars we love doing them. With everything that has been going on in the world it’s been difficult to try and hold one. However we look forward to starting them up again.
What we do here at Enter Shaolin is very unique in the martial arts world.
While I believe we do a fantastic job at getting across our teachings.
There is no substitute for being able to touch hands with us. So to fully understand how something works you need to feel it.
What’s so great about our community is everyone is just awesome! We really are a judgement free zone.
When you come to one of seminars you will find that everyone is really helpful and friendly.
Keep an eye out for when we hold our next seminar and make it a point to come out and train with us.
Counter Striking Your Opponent
What is hard to see in the above video is what Sifu Phu’s punches feel like. He often speaks about them feeling like you are being stabbed and he has said in different videos that you want to focus your energy to a point like a pick axe when you are striking.
It really is hard to verbally explain what he means, but you instantly understand the moment you feel it. Which is why I say do everything you can to get to one of seminars. It will be life changing for you.
I almost forget, leave us a comment after watching the video and let us know what you thought of the lesson.
Talk to you soon!
Thanks for posting this footage of Sifu and I. Many people may feel that they can get the second punch off. They have never been hit by a penetrating punch. Sifu’s punches were not thrown with much power, but I still felt the penetration. I never mind being punched by a typical punch, but Penetrating punches never feel good.
Absolutely correct. Getting hit externally isn’t pleasant, however getting hit internally just hits different lols…
Great technique , and of course very easy to train
Thank you sifu Larry
Sifu phu if you reading this

Thanks,
Can’t believe 3.5 years have passed….. Looking forward to another seminar/workshop when the time is right! Thanks for this nugget!
You are welcome! Look forward to seeing you again 🙂
Again full of information, great training tips as usual, respect.
Glad you enjoyed the training!
I am so happy I decided to go to that seminar and to join as an Abbott. NDN is the real deal. Joining Enter Shaolin has let me learn world class martial arts at my own pace. I also like how Enter Shaolin welcomes people from around the world with the common interest in learning and practicing the most effective techniques for combat and movement. There is plenty to learn and practice both mentally and physically. I agree with Greg, time flies.
Thanks for being a part of our family!
