Hey everyone,

Christmas time is coming and most schools are on break and will be back only by next year.

That reminds me that a lot of Martial Arts practitioners and especially Wing Chun lovers won't have partners to train with. What kind of breaks the progression train purpose.

You might not know but I've been in the same situation, where years ago I moved abroad and could not find...

NON CLASSICAL TECHNIQUE for a Bong Sau & Lap Sau connection - Kung Fu Report #183

bong sau kung fu lap sau wing chun Dec 07, 2021

DO NOT APPLY THIS TECHNIQUE ON YOUR TRAINING PARTNER

When speed is not enough to reach your opponent, you get to find a way to cross his defensive lines. When opponent reads your move by sensing it, it might cause you some disadvantage and I have identified it as a big problem for part of my students.

In today's Kung Fu Report I'm going to teach you a NON CLASSICAL TECHNIQUE that will be very...

Ambush

chum kil kung fu martial arts wing chun Dec 06, 2021

The Chum Kil form introduces a recovery concept against an ambush attack using the Bong Sau. You will definitely learn it in the second section of the form. I must admit that this is one of the most misunderstood parts of the entire Chum Kil form. In the form, the hands are drop-down and then raise up in a Bong Sau position, this repeats 3 times in the form. Very often people...

Lat Sau Jik Chung

chum kil kung fu wing chun Nov 18, 2021

Lat Sau Jik Chung - translates as "when the hands disengage, go straight forward" is a major concept in Wing Chun. This concept is an extension of the centerline principle, it is actually one of the most important and yet neglect ideas in Wing Chun. In the Old days, when a Wing Chun practitioner attacks and crashes into the opponents' arms, his attacks, covers, or blocks, there will be arm...

Counter for counter

chum kil wing chun Nov 06, 2021

This is a training method to enhance one's reflexes. For that we will take all the blocks and hands we have learned in Sil Lim Tau and connect them into an endless flow. However, before I start I'd like to make one thing clear: flow drills, counter for counter, is NOT a combat application, it is a way to increase one's attributes, in this case, one's reflexes.

Using a...

Arm breaks

In the first section of the Chum Kil form, there is a combination movement of Jut Sau and Tan Sau, this movement is used for arm breaks. I would like to talk a little about this today.

The Jut Sau - Tan Sau arm break movement is often explained as an arm breaking application against a chest level shirt grab. In my opinion, this is not a very realistic application as 99% of the time when...

Shoulder Checking

chum kil martial arts wing chun wing chun techniques Oct 22, 2021

Instead of blocking the forearms, the idea of shoulder checking is to stop punches at their root. This idea is found in many Asian arts such as Silat, Kuntao, Kali, and many Gung Fu systems. It is also found in the old dirty boxes, just look at the great former champion George Forearm, he used shoulder checking a lot.

For some reason, it is often neglected in modern Wing Chun;...

WING CHUN KICKS

kicks martial arts martial arts techniques wing chun techniques wing chun training Oct 14, 2021

Wing Chun has an arsenal of kicks - cross-kick, front kick, side kick are the main ones, all other kicks are variations of these main kicks. The reason is, just like the hand strikes, in order to follow the directness principle, the strikes use mainly straight as possible attacks. Therefore, the kicks are the same idea, to go as directly as possible and hence the 3 main kicks.
