Wing Chun - Don't Pull Back Keep Constant Forward Pressure - Kung Fu Report #325

Today we talk about using the concept of Lat Sau Jik Chung, which is further illustrated as a concept in the Wooden Dummy form. The idea is not to pull your hands back when doing follow-ups as you would be breaking this major Wing Chun concept of constant forward pressure.

Good stuff as always. Thank you Sifu Adam. This episode is probably one of the best I've seen at showing the real advantage of Wing Chun when applied properly. Awesome.

[RobertMiller-shgb]

Great video! Points out the subtleties of Wing Chun and why they can be so effective. Love your phrase “use the closest weapon to the nearest target”. Thanks for sharing.

[greecostyler]

Good Video Sifu you are one of the few Youtube Wing Chun Guys who understand the concept of wing chun. Hope you will reach more range of viewers.

[----DJ----]

This is probably one of my favorite videos from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I teach my students to operate with the properties of a forest fire. Fire doesn't back up to consume new fuel and it ALWAYS goes after the closest, most available source of fuel while keeping the ground it already took. In martial terms, we do not recoil our strikes. Instead, we strike, then leave the strike in place and move forward. By default, it causes the recoil because the hand remains in the same - or similar - location in space. The opponent is normally too occupied with defending against the incoming follow-up strike to worry about the hand in their face or grabbing them. I see a similar concept here; with a terminology change, but the concepts are very similar.

I'm so thankful for the lesson on this because I have been struggling with this in my training, especially when in real life situations.

[rickmason]

Oh I can see the technique better now.I saw Bruce Lee apply this very fast in several movies but no one explained it like you did.So amazing to see true application rather than watered down techniques that practice pulling back the hand.Wish I was in your area to learn so much more.Thank you kind sir for the video.

I am Chinese, but I know nothing about kung-fu or martial arts. However, I can judge the real from the not so real Chinese arts because I grew up in New York City Chinatown and spent half of my young life in various kung-fu schools and have seen enough to know the difference. Sifu Adam speaks Cantonese in between English while demonstrated in the video, and that tells me he's connected with other sifus overseas. In any case, Sifu Adam is the real McCoy without a shadow of doubt. And if anyone had doubts, go try him out yourself. Just let me know so I can have a stretch waiting for you. 😮

Always so great to watch your channel of Wing Chun and thanks 🙏 for sharing Sifu Adam and Chris.🌎🙏🍀

[houseofkungfu]

yes, I guessed it 00:56 go towards the center always! I'm learning..

[gregargo]

Sir, I love you! Thank you so much. This instructional technique of yours is the finest I have seen in the many years I have been investigating the arts. Wing Chun principles are the best fundamental principles of all the arts in my opinion and your explanations of the system is invaluable. Your spirit is peaceful and patient; your mind sharp and focused. I will always remain a student of your way.

[garyfujinami]

That was awesome. The interpretation of the forms are very interesting.

[carlosvillavicencio]

Interesting video and the concept of constant pressure, attacking the attack by destabilizing the opponent. 👍👍👍

My grandfather used to play pool (billiards) with that same idea - shoot the ball 'closest' to the pocket. He was pretty good at his 'leaves' for his follow up shots.

[bitosdelaplaya]

THE major principle : allways keep the pressure and stay in contact. It's really difficult, because you need a good body balance and good control of bong sau and all other wing chun principle

[JohnTubeK]

Great video and entertaining as well. Chris filling in for the wood dummy drove the points home.

[tavtav]

Good stuff for wing chun practitioner. This give me a new option of doing forward pressure movement instead of doing chain punch per contact.

[tonglee]

One of the best wing chun sifu.Notice his hand speed

[juliengralepois]

5:00 Adam in a previous podcast said it takes 10, 000 reps to program any movement in your sub conscious. 100 reps, 1, 000 times. Sounds easy enough right? ahahahahahahhaa. Its just hard work man, my life has changed forever, and people, even my Lung ying Sifus have wondered, how and why I'm progressing so quickly. I cant tell em I've been watching a Wing Chun Sifu
