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.

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.

Wing Chun Myths EXPOSED!!! The Reality of Simultaneous Attack & Defence in a Fight



http://www.londonwingchun.co.uk/reality-simultaneous-attack-and-defence-fight ►Wing Chun Myths Exposed: The Reality of Simultaneous Attack and Defence in a Fight. If you speak to any Wing Chun practitioner they will always explain to you that one of the core concepts within this martial art is to attack and defend simultaneously when attacked in a fight. The idea behind this concept is that you can move more efficiently and therefore defend yourself better if someone throws a big punch.

How does this really work in a fight or in self defence? People tend to throw multiple punches in a barrage to overwhelm you in a street fight. So how does Wing Chun really answer this problem? Well in this video we discuss how to use a well known Wing Chun technique called Taan Sao for simultaneous blocking and attacking.

In the first part of the video we introduce the technique of Taan Da and explain the potential problems in making it work for self defence or in a real fight. The key point to note is that you have to punch hard in order to slow to stop your attacker’s second punch. Only then can you actually fight back with some clear Wing Chun follow ups. However, there is still a risk of your attacker throwing a second punch, especially if they are able to absorb your counter strike.

The second part of the video introduces a safer more reliable approach in which to use this technique. In this part of the video we discuss the safer option of moving to the outside gate of a punch combination and then intercepting to the inside gate with the Taan Da. This is a safer method for self defence because it allows you to control the space and the centre ground.

The third part of the video recaps the basic ideas of how to train this approach in Wing Chun Chi Sao. How it is derived from Chi Sao practice and how it relates to actual fighting. The key point to note is that practising in this method of training allows you the ability to understand how to find a simultaneous attack and defence when your arms are clinched with your attackers.

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.
