kle1n Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 check it out here http://www.wingchun.com/video/wt/KeithKernspetch.mpeg here you see a highly graded wing chun master beat a 3 time world champion wrestler within no time Be everything. Be nothing.
Stold Posted June 28, 2003 Posted June 28, 2003 Certainly you can tell that the video is just for show? Most wrestlers won't try and play hand grabs with you.
TJS Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 (edited) lol that was obviously a demonstation.. that "world champion wrestler" would have double leg him and slamed his head on the concrete in a real fight in stead of Grabbing his wrists... Edited June 29, 2003 by TJS
DokterVet Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 http://www.wingchun.com/video/wt/KeithKernspetch.mpeg Hmm...the video didn't work for me. I'll try hyperlinking it myself. 22 years oldShootwrestlingFormerly Wado-Kai Karate
sansoouser Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 can you repost a working link? The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain.
monkeygirl Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 The link itself works fine for me. It opens a window for your web browser, but since the link was to an .mpeg file, no page will be displayed in the browser. Instead, Windows Media Player, Real Player, QuickTime, whatever will pop up, load and play the video. Perhaps that will help. 1st dan & Asst.

Kirves Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 Yes, if you have a slow internet-connection, you'll have to just sit back and wait. Your media player will kick in eventually.
stephen lee Posted June 29, 2003 Posted June 29, 2003 perhaps a demonstration. but none the less. ask that wrestler his opinion on the demonstration, and ill bet was impressed! A real wrestler "wouldnt play with his hands" mabey not, but do you think WingCung cant use legs as efficiently? a rising knee can contact the face of a low charging opponent much faster than 2 hands can controll a fast rising knee...... just 1 ie. MHO. the color of a belt, can be a false sence of accomplishment.
DokterVet Posted June 30, 2003 Posted June 30, 2003 The hyperlink I posted ended up working fine. My internet explorer has trouble playing media, so i needed the link to right-click and save the target. The quote "if a wrestler can't grab his opponents hands, what else can he do" seemed a little weird to me. 22 years oldShootwrestlingFormerly Wado-Kai Karate
