pmh1nic Posted July 12, 2003 Posted July 12, 2003 Maintance...at 50 years old I'm just trying to maintain what I have . Seriously, I'm working on becoming more fluid on my left side. Take downs, throws, joint locks, etc. I've got a good amount of fluidity in all my techniques working against a right hand attacker but in many areas my left side technique still requires some thinking and in a "real" situation there is no time for thinking.

And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?" Benjamin Franklin
InSearchOf Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Excellent topic- I'm working on the 1 and 3" punch. I have the full blown recipe for it and if followed correctly, the power from practicing it, is absolutlely devistating. I'm on my third week and notice a huge change in my reverse punch. During belt testing we have to end up fighting 2-3 lower belts (I'm a lower belt) and both instructors (BB's). Of course you get your ass kicked, but it really makes you feel that you earned your belt. Anyway, I ended up using that sweet reverse (as part of a combo) and ended my first fight right then and there with a "BREAK" (Instructor called out). Obviously, that reverse wasn't a 1 or 3" punch, but still inhances the power tremedously. Good luck with training.

Kirves Posted July 15, 2003 Posted July 15, 2003 For wing chun, punch the "wing chun bean bag" for punching power. It is the wing chun equivalent of karate makiwara.
CDK-TKD112 Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I am curently working on perfecting my kicks, I can kick over my head with ease, but I want to be able to hold them out for more than 2 seconds, to develope better control and power. Alway working to better everything, my jumping backroundhouse kick, and my jumping turning front roundhouse kicks. They are my fav.
Drunken Monkey Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 bean bag??? you mean the wall bag? um, if you're training in wing chun you WOULD already be using the wallbag... and it isn't simple as just hitting it. post count is directly related to how much free time you have, not how intelligent you are."When you have to kill a man it costs nothing to be polite."
