SunKwanMoo - Part One

This is very interesting... some of this looks like Taekwondo and some looks like Tai Chi Chuan.

Wing Chun - The Ultimate Demonstration Pt 2

This is a great demonstration! The master brings the demonstration from simply doing Chi Sao with the student. Next he presses on the students head and sends him straight to the ground! Then he shows that at any moment, he can strike the student at any momemt, with multiple strikes. Next, he show that he can perform elbow and shoulder strikes and pushes. I've heard comments that shoulder strikes aren't effective in a real situation, because it's hard to strike with the shoulder in a way that is painful or does much damage. Well, there are several reasons for using the shoulder. Many times the shoulder is or can be near the chin quickly. If you have practiced, you can break the jaw. Second, in a real situation, it may be advantageous to push the opponent back, perhaps if there is something behind to trip over or get injured on.

Moving on, he demonstrates that he can perform arm and joint manipulation attacks and bring the student to the ground. I also like that the master demonstrates with a larger, advanced student. This help to show that Wing Chun is effective against a larger opponent.

I personally did Chi Sao with a woman and she was very soft, but hard to hit. Pretty impressive, because I even tried to completely relax my arm before the attack, so as to not give away an intention. I used non-wing chun or non-linear attacks to fool her and she still did very well. I didn't use my feet and allowed her to bridge me the whole time...that plays into the advantage of Wing Chun. If fighting or sparring and you know or determine the opponent has Wing Chun skills, don't let them bridge you. That is, don't let them get in close and maintain contact with your arms. Once they bridge, the Wing Chun practice and patterns allow them to know what you are going to do next.
