Thank you sense8 haappy to know you liked the video.. it's pretty amazing how our two styles seem to be very similar. .

Well you might be a master but here your still a blue belt

I did a video on this..I used a 350lbs man to pick me over and he was not able to...the video is called testing the root..

The small circles is used mostly for short range combat, the medium circle is used to close the gap while the large circle is used to to move into position. https://youtu.be/myfAdenyIpQ

thanks... i agree this one its a stopper.. it should only be used as a last resort

glad you liked the video. you can spend a whole lot of time working chi sao. its non ending.

Solid and powerful post!! That center line, imho, is moving constantly, and with that, to give and to take help control that center line. Also, imho, an over emphasis on the center line can be blinding to students. That center line is important, not to be mistaken, however, that center line is not the end of all things; just one element amongst many others. well said...glad you like the article...I actually wrote it 3 years ago and forgot about then came across it

The Keys to high level Chi Sao- A personal perspective. What you see a lot today with people who Practice Chi Sao is this over emphasis being placed on forward pressure and trying to control the center line alone, used with pushing and pulling tactics. The pushing and pulling is used in conjunction to disrupt or break the opponent’s structure. While this is a great skill to have and to train, it can leave one’s Chi Sao skills underdeveloped in the long run. With this continued type of focus in your Chi Sao, it will usually be who is the bigger, stronger or faster person, not sensitivity or skills deciding the outcome. If in my opinion one wants to improve and move on to higher levels in their Chi Sao they must let go of the idea of trying to control center line or breaking structure. This way of doing Chi Sao is limited and creates what I call a “power struggle to control the center”. Since only one person can occupy the center and as long as two people are trying to control that center this can and often does create a force on force conflict where both parties struggle for dominance for the center. When this happens both parties tend to use brute force or size to over power their training partner. This type of Chi Sao has very little to do with sensitivity training or skill building. In my opinion, this has very little to with Chi Sao at all. So how does one let go and train higher levels in their Chi Sao? There are several components both structurally and tactically. First, do not use forward pressure to over power your opponent, instead use forward intent. Use your mind to guide your intent and your sensitivity to guide your actions. Seek the center but don’t try to control it physically by force. If your opponent wants to control the center, let him. Let him believe he is in control when in fact he’s not. He can only win if you fight with him. When he strikes at that moment you can hit him or retake the center. Also, when the opponent makes a mistake, capture the center but don’t force it. Allow him to make the mistake. This way it will avoid this force on force power struggle which you’re trying not to do. Structurally, one must relax all the joints in the body, especially the shoulder. Do not lock any joints weather for the use of structure or power generation. Every part must be moving and flowing. Like water running down stream, when it hits an obstruction it simply flows around it. It does not force itself on the rock but yields to it. Use this as a guideline to improve on your chi sao.

Thank you very much sensei8. This video was not liked very much in the wing chun community but thank you for liking it.. If I may ask...why wasn't this video liked in the WC community?? Hopefully it's not because you gave some WC secret away. If it is, well, imho, that was quite narrow minded of them because the MA is for EVERYONE. We no longer live in days where this would be a true concern!! No..no secrets. I guess I'm very controversial in my approach. Some don't agree with what I'm doing any believe it's wrong. I always tell them come see me and let's see what's wrong..

Thank you very much sensei8. This video was not liked very much in the wing chun community but thank you for liking it..

Thank you..it is more difficult for me to post videos as my Laptop finally broke down..I'm not sure if it worth getting fixed it's already 4 years old better to buy a new one..

Proper use of Wing Chun structure, energy, and correct use of elbow position when applied in Chi Sao practice. The focus is on the proper use of the Tan Sau structure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjn0FI6_VGo

I know a little Hung Gar but I have only been training it for 3 years so I don't know much about it,however I do know a lot about wing chun and wing chun and hung gar share a very similar root..very similar. Studying the Hung style has taught me alot about wing chun..and has changed my wing chun in the process for the better..I only know only know gung Gee and the Pole..

a simple test to see if I'm able to transfer the weight and size of a big into my structure and into the ground. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwoaUsnZFQg

Thank you..wow your first post..welcome!!

thank you. hope the videos helped.

Glad you like it senei8. more to come soon..

In this video I show how the Tan Sao is applied in long and short ranges, and the concept of the short and long range Tan Sao as used in Wing Chun. For more information on The double Tan Sao check my other video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySedN... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuo_DUdeVjU[/b]

In this short clip I show how by manipulating the human spine is the key to controlling and breaking the opponents structure. Two concepts are used to break structure. One is hand to pocket and two hand to shoulder. In order to break the opponents structure the spine must be manipulated horizontally or vertically in order to take place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmILjEnVeTY

To the bold type above... Shall I dare say... Proof is on the floor!! I like that " proof is on the floor " We have a saying in our school.." Hands don't lie"

One of the ideas of the drill is use simple do what your attacker is doing ( use the same technique) but use it against him. To test it and see if its better the your opponents. Sort of like a pitcher testing his fast ball against another pitcher who has a good fast ball also. you simply compare each others side by side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC746-Yyjok

If martial arts where taught say an accredited university level then you could offer a master title but there is no univeral standard so IMO the title means very little. You have many organization an all of them have different requirements. Perhaps you could offer a title of master to someone who has been training and teaching for say 40 years. The title would mean a dedication and lifetime of training. At least this would eliminate the so called master with a few years trainings and weed out the snake oil salemen.
