kle1n Posted April 4, 2003 Posted April 4, 2003 correct me but from the fighting philosophy win chung is evasing the enemys attack and using his force against him similliar to aikido right? thx :> Be everything. Be nothing.
MIRCH Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 yes, wing chun / wing tsun does follow the principle of push and pull, as in if u are given some force by ur opponent u use it against him...if he pushes, u use his force and pull him to put him/her off guard.
KungFuLuvva Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 yess...i've noticed many similarities in wing chun and aikido. wing chun never ducks or evades if thats what you meant, but we do shift at angles while blocking to help take more power off the opposing punch. a lot of the movements look similar but in aikido you would block and wrap, while in wing chun you would block and strike. at least thats my understanding between the two, but i do know that wing chun is very aggresive. age:16style:wing chunDon't try to predict the outcome of a fight. just let nature take its course.
JerryLove Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Wing-chung works in a virtual house. The idea is that an opponent must get his weapons facing you. WC tehn becomes about pushin attacks off your centerline (outside the house) and keeping your path to his centerline clear. In practice, I find it quite unlike Akido. While both arts deal with redirection more than over-powering; the circles and movement of Akido remind me far more of Bagua than they do of a boxing art like WC. https://www.clearsilat.com
Kaju_influenced Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 Very true jerry my student also studies wing chun kuen and i find the same similarities u explained I too see aikido as an art of redirection and not overpowering, however i find WC in all its effectiveness lacks proper ranging even though ur opponent must be close to you, well thats IMO.
