Hello everyone..It's been a long time but am back..My old youtube channelwas deleted by Youtube and I lost all my content but I have new content and a new direction in my training..Here is a video I made very recently..I hope you like it..Am mainley a wing chun guy but over the last 5 years I've developed my own style..

Welcome back Stonecrusher.  How would you say your style differs from what you've done in Wing Chun?

[stonecrusher69]

I've made a lot of ajustments.. Like the first thing is Wing Chun is based on Centerline fighting however mine is based more on what I call Center Point which is just using your center mass to move and control your oppoent like a judo would do but appling it to a more striking art..This is also how I generate force by acceleratiing  my mass and moving it around at the point of contact. In order to do this also requires different footwork,so I had to change that also..any many other things as well..

Welcome back, and thanks for sharing! It looks quite similar to some of my karate material.

Welcome back, stonecrusher!!

I agree with Wastelander in that it looks very similar to my karate material!! Controlling ones opponent depends on just how mature ones MA is, and that’s something that shouldn’t be shrugged off.

Welcome back, and good to see you making content again.

Interesting video for sure, thanks for posting.  As usual the teacher makes it look so easy, then the student tries it and it is tougher than it looks.

Years ago I took a semester of JJJ in college and our Sensei told us "I like to fight the way I play chess, meaning that my opening makes a move, but after his first move I am in control, so if he grabs me by the shirt (indicating that the student was doing just that), then that is his move, now every move he makes between now and the end of the fight, I force him to make," then proceeded to take the student down.  Always stuck with me.

Control can be achieved at contact, for sure, but many factors can work against the defender, I.e., not being mature in any given technique, stance/footwork, for example.

At contact, that’s initiated by my attacker, I’ve the advantage. How so?? I’ve two open hands versus my attackers one open hand. My advantage at that moment is very limited, so my counter must not be stalled.

Two open hands versus one open hand. I like the odds.

Yep.  While the non-trained will see an attack as aggressive and threatening, many of us will just say, "hey, I have a lot of options here."  I always avoid fights if possible but I know people I've trained with who seem to be hoping someone attacks them or threatens them so they can use their training.
