BEST Footwork Drills to BEAT a BOXING Jab Cross



http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/wing-chun-vs-boxing-what-all-fuss ► This blog features a popular video taken from a Wing Chun Seminar on how to fight or defend against a Jab/Cross combination using Pak Sao from Wing Chun. This video was taken in 2006 as part of a multi Sifu seminar featuring some of the top UK Wing Chun Association's Instructors. This video demonstrates a rarely seen approach to Wing Chun fighting. Note, this footage is a detailed instructional video on how to bridge a Jab Cross boxing style combination with very simple Wing Chun techniques and good footwork. The first half of the video teaches the footwork and how to move effectively to fight against a mobile attacker.

All martial arts require good footwork in order for you to learn how to fight. The first half of the seminar covers how to use Pak Sao against a Jab with some basic Wing Chun techniques for closing the distance on the punch that retracts quickly. The seminar introduced a popular martial arts technique called Pak Sao (Slapping Hand) to establish a follow and stick with a Jab Cross boxing combination.

This is not the typical Wing Chun vs Boxing technique because it relies on a good footwork and the ability to use effective Wing Chun footwork to ride the distance of a boxing or mixed martial arts combination of punches. Good footwork is often lacking in self defence, so we spend the first half of the video teaching the footwork.

Here are some simple basic Wing Chun techniques that are versatile enough to adapt against a Jab Cross techniques.
These concepts help your Wing Chun training to get into range to use your Wing Chun Chi Sao skills against an a live attacker who moves with good footwork. Note, the point of this martial arts instruction is to teach Wing Chun skills that can be transferred to any situation that involves wearing boxing or mma gloves. It is not a wing chun vs boxing video rather how to use wing chun well against a good fighter that can move freely like a boxer.

How to Fight off Ground & Pound Attacks | WARNING DO NOT use Wing Chun Like This



http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/defending-ground-and-pound-attacks-bjj ► How to Fight Off Ground & Pound Attacks: DO NOT USE Wing Chun Like This. This week we take a break from Wing Chun to look at how to defend against punches to your face when you’ve been thrown to the ground. We cover a few key BJJ concepts on how to fight off your back in self defence. These ideas are taken from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu’s (BJJ) well know and tested Self Defence training, but these ideas are universal and will help anyone defend themselves on the ground. We also examine why you should not use Wing Chun techniques, but stick too simple concepts taken from BJJ but also tested in MMA.

The first part of the video introduces the idea of making space by creating barriers for your self defence. We discuss the feet as the first line of defence, followed by the knees and then hands. It is important to fight on the ground with these concepts in mind.

Part two of the video introduces the idea of the ‘Sling Shot’, where you use the retreat of your attacker against them to make space to stand up. Since the ultimate goal is to stand up when you’ve been thrown to the ground. Then you have to make space to do so. We use the up kick to the face of the attacker to force him to pull away, and then only then do we use a technical stand up technique taken from BJJ.

The last part to the video examines why you do not use Wing Chun hand techniques in ground fighting. Simply because these ideas were not designed or intended for ground fighting, but also they extend your arms too far away from the body. Extending your arms away leaves them vulnerable for arm locks.

We have lots more videos on how to fight with Wing Chun. Please visit our channel. Better yet feel free to leave a comment or a suggestion of what you would like us to film for you. It does not have to be about Wing Chun it can be about any subject related to fighting, how to fight, Wing Chun techniques, or even Wing Chun vs other styles of martial arts. We are happy to pass on our knowledge and experience free of charge.

How to WIN Fights with LESS EFFORT



► How to win a Fight with Less Effort. Wing Chun is all about moving directly and efficiently. In fact this martial art focuses on how to fight with the concept of economy of motion. Essentially, this martial art teaches you to fight with less effort. Moving efficiently with Wing Chun allows you to conserve energy, and also places your arms in a better place for self defence. However, it is not just efficiency that wins fights, but the ability to make the situation predictable. Wing Chun has a number of hand fighting skills that creates the situation in which your attackers movements can become predictable.

This video introduces the concept of predictability for self defence. If you can make the situation predictable then you will find it easier to manage a violent attack. The first half of the video discusses the idea of tying one arm up in order to force your attacker to punch you with their other arm. This essentially makes fight or self defence confrontation more predictable and easier to manage.

The second half of the video discusses where and how to use your hands to defend your face. Most people in the street will attack or punch your face. Therefore, it makes sense to place your hands in front of the target of the punch. If you place your hands in front of your face, you are moving efficiently and less likely to be punched hard in the face.

The key thing is to conserve your energy and not move in excess. Just move as efficiently as possible in any self defence confrontation. This will help you in most fights.

We have lots more videos on how to fight with Wing Chun. Please visit our channel. Better yet feel free to leave a comment or a suggestion of what you would like us to film for you. It does not have to be about Wing Chun it can be about any subject related to fighting, how to fight, Wing Chun techniques, or even Wing Chun vs other styles of martial arts. We are happy to pass on our knowledge and experience free of charge.

Wing Chun vs Boxing | Wing Chun does NOT work?



http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/does-wing-chun-work ► Wing Chun vs Boxing: "Wing Chun DOES not work." Many people assume that if you learn Wing Chun that you will be unable to fight at a long range or cope with basic boxing or kickboxing combinations. Granted that Wing Chun is an exceptional martial art at close quarter fighting, but it can be used effectively over a long range of fighting.

The notion that “Wing Chun does not work” comes from a misunderstanding of the training methodology of Wing Chun. This video explains how Wing Chun can be used effectively over a long distance, while introducing the basic concept of improving footwork mobility.

Surprisingly there are some people outside of the Wing Chun community that have the opinion that Wing Chun does not work a fight. Of course defining a real fight is difficult, as the term can mean different things to different people. This is where the misconceptions about Wing Chun begin.

As in any martial art it is necessary to develop the ability to manage and control distance to the person that is attacking you. This involves the attribute of developing good mobility and footwork.

Our Wing Chun video discusses some simple and techniques in which to improve your mobility at long range. Key points to note, that mobility is not important at close range especially when connected (Bridged) with your attacker. At close range you should focus on good structure and rooting to the ground. In contrast, when you are moving at long range, where there is no contact with the attacker, then you should focus on mobility for distance control.
