First I love training in Wing Chun. I have been slacking lately and I know it. While I can’t really make up for lost time I can pick up the ball and get busy doing one of the things I love which is of course teaching Martial Arts.
Wing Chun is a very simple martial art system to understand. It however takes a life time to truly understand all the different nuances within the kung fu system of fighting.
In this video I share with you some wing chun muk jong training you can to develop better pressure control in your arms.
Developing Even Pressure In Your Arm
I’ve only ever heard Sifu Phu talk about even pressure in the arms before. In this video is my understanding of keeping your energy balanced between your wrist and your elbow.
A common mistake that people make when they are practicing their Wing Chun.
Is they either extend too far past their own P.O.C.K.E.T. (Point Of Contact Kinetic Energy Transfer).
Either by pushing past it or simply lack the control to connect precisely to their target.
…I call this having Wobbly arms
It’s possible I may have made that term up lols. From a feeling standpoint a person with wobbly arms never feel settled in their position upon contact.
Training Out Wobbly Arms On The Wing Chun Wooden Dummy (Muk Jong)
The lesson I filmed is a couple of training drills using the Muk Jong that you can use to create even pressure between your wrist and your elbow. It’s hard to describe it, this is just something you have to feel yourself.
The best description I have is the pressure in your arm should feel the same from your wrist to your elbow. I would love to hear your feedback. Would you like to see more lessons like this? Let me know in the comment sections below !

Always nice to see how it “should look” through different people.
Sifu Larry Rivera says
Ya man, I agree with you. Sije has been wanting me to start filming for awhile now. I am going to do a ton more filming but i am not going to share most of it outside of the Enter Shaolin Family. Thanks for commenting.

I love this Sifu! I would be grateful if you put out more tutorials like this. I do wish you would have broke down the last exercise though! 😉
Sifu Larry Rivera says
Thanks! To be honest, I have been hustling the past week. I actually knew I probably should of broken that down. I was short on time. However, I’ll do a part 2 of this training on that last exercise sometime next week. 🙂
Daniel J says
That would be great! I’ve been working through the dummy sets and have made it to set 11. I always like to break practicing up with some of Sifu Phu’s exercises. I will also add these from you. I’m glad you have decided to do some filming. As mentioned above by Marcos it is great to see how others like you apply what Sifu Phu teaches.
Sifu Larry Rivera says
Thank you for being a member of our family 🙂
Errol Stapleton says
Perfect example of keeping the energy in your wrist and still maintaining even forward pressure in your arms, between your wrist and your elbow. More videos like this would be great. Respect.
Sifu Larry Rivera says
Thanks Errol, I plan on doing more videos 🙂

Sifu Larry,
A very nice short and impactful lesson. I will work on this immediately. Each successive workout provides new insight into inching towards mastering the techniques. Which takes a lifetime to accomplish. Baby steps.
Many thanks!
Stan
Sifu Larry Rivera says
Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the lesson. I agree baby steps!

Love the tip on maintaining structure when shifting pressure from one side of the arm to the other by sitting/sinking (and not bending the elbow). Thank you for the lesson!

Thank you for the exercises and the lesson at all. I would appreciate to see more on the muk jong. And I appreciate your teaching without saying a word. So that I have to be mindful and keep my focuse on observing and imitate your moves.
Very helpful to me, your advice not to bring the elbows back, always keeping forward energy. Very nice lesson! Thank You, SiFu Larry
