The Art of One Armed Wing Chun Fighting

http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/art-one-armed-wing-chun-fighting ►Wing Chun: The Art of One Armed Wing Chun Fighting. Realistically fighting with a broken arm would be extremely painful. So in this week’s video we look at the concept in Wing Chun of using one arm as an efficient form of self defence.  How to fight with one arm is more about learning to control the physical space in front of the centre of your body. It’s not about being able to fight anyone with one arm.

This week we take a closer look at the Wing Chun technique known as ‘Wiping Hand’. Wiping hand is commonly used to defend against multiple punches thrown to the centreline. If you search YouTube for Wing Chun videos you will see lots of examples of the technique being used against two punches.

As impressive as these demonstrations can look, don’t be fooled by the simplicity of using this common technique from the Wooden Dummy form. The reality of real fighting is that people will throw punches from different angles and heights, so applying this technique may not be as easy as you think. The second half of our video addresses this problem. We show how to manage distance, angles, and height of the attack punches. We even have some fun in our end card, by showing how absurd using one are can look when someone really isn’t trying to punch you in the face.

Ultimately Economy of Motion is about Using One Limb

In a previous video we covered the idea of simultaneous attack and defence, but this concept does not necessarily have to be applied with two arms. One arm may essentially give you a better coverage, protection and ability to intercept.  In fact the ultimate method of applying an interception technique is to use one limb to both attack and defend. You see this when intercepting with a punch to both block an incoming attack and defend. In other words, your punch, strike, or kick achieves both ends, it attacks while simultaneously defends. This is a manifestation of the art of interception in Wing Chun and therefore is considered by many as an advanced form of Wing Chun fighting not commonly seen.

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.

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 Punch Harder | Bare Knuckles vs Gloves | Wing Chun vs Boxing

http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/what-makes-wing-chun-effective ► Wing Chun vs Boxing. Bare Knuckles vs Gloves? How do you punch harder with bare knuckles. We discuss the idea of short distance power, how it is generated, and why this differs from wearing boxing gloves. Basically, how to punch hard in Wing Chun with and without boxing gloves.

In this video you will learn how to punch hard by generating power using momentum. This works really well when wearing boxing gloves, but not so well if you try to punch hard at close range with Wing Chun contraction power.

Generally, most martial arts and boxing styles use momentum to deliver powerful punches when wearing gloves. However, Wing Chun is a martial art that requires the ability to grab and seize the attacker. So using boxing gloves makes it very difficult to apply the full range of Wing Chun techniques available. It also makes it difficult to punch harder. We address 4 common questions about Wing Chun.


Question #1: CAN YOU USE SHORT DISTANCE POWER WITH BOXING GLOVES?

Answer: The quick answer is no for the reasons that we explain in our video. This therefore has an effect on the way in which Wing Chun practitioners throw their punches at a boxing range. Here we discuss the famous Wing Chun technique known as the one inch punch.


Question #2: HOW WOULD YOU BOX OR GENERATE POWER AT LONG RANGE?

Answer: Wing Chun practitioners like any other martial art or boxing style will generate power by using momentum to throw their fist from a long distance. It is difficult to use a one inch punch or short distance power with boxing gloves.


Question #3: WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE IN MID RANGE?

Answer: Simply combining the contraction and momentum techniques is the best approach and most effective method over this distance. Our video discusses how to combine the two Wing Chun techniques to proper effect.


Question #4: YOU SHOULD PUT GLOVES ON TO SEE IF WING CHUN WORKS

 Answer: This is a common question. Most people criticise the value of Wing Chun training without understanding the processes behind the drills. Granted these drills can often be convoluted but they do have martial art value that can be effective for self defence.

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.

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.
