nice to know that thier are fellow non ip man win chungers out there ! We have two non ip man forms in our club. for some reason the videos you posted are not working so I cant see if they are similar. would love to see what you do. and to any potential hecklers out there yes - while ip man win chung is the predominant line there are other variations available.
I can now see the videos. Not the same foot work as from our win chung but interesting none the less. many thanks for sharing.
Yeah. Many moons ago there were a few articles in the US mags about this system. Sorta led one to the conclusion that Yip/Ip's Slant Style WC was a stripped down version. And a hearty welcome to MCM!
- Boxing emphasizes jab, cross, hook, and uppercut (offense tools). - WC emphasizes Fu Shou, Tan Shou, and Bong Shou (defense tools). Why? May I ask a very stupid question here? If you want to use a technique in this form to kill your opponent, which move will you use, and how?
You have really precise footwork! I know very little about kung fu (TC) but your dedication to practice certainly shows.
I don't think it's a stupid question, but I don't know what you mean with "emphasizes". Is that really true? There is nothing in sport boxing meant to kill a person either, really. Defense is the most important element in boxing, and emphasized a lot harder the way I was trained. Because if you want to be a boxer, you need to learn the art of *not* getting hit first and foremost, followed by the art of getting hit and not falling, and then the art of getting hit, falling, and getting back up. Later on you can work on your "falcon punches", individual styles. IF not, you just aren't going to handle the long game of boxing, you'll just end up broke and punch drunk.
