wing chun principles

@@nerolowell2320 wing chuners destroyed by MMA😭

@@AHEUTUBE while ill give they do you expect a martial art with over half of its moves banned to have much if any success thats laughable at best. That would be like saying the juijitsu practioner is not allowed to arm bar me suddenly im kicking his ass even though hes clearly the better fighter cause he can't use the one submission hes insane at. It's made for the streets where in the cage are you gonna see a dude jam a finger in the other guys eye untl its gouged in or kick them so hard in the groin that kids aren't an option. So sick of this stupid argument its like asking a boxer to beat a wrestler in a wrestling match.

@@nerolowell2320 except wing Chun is not viable

@@AHEUTUBE almost every traditional martial art practitioner who is not practicing for sports combat will get destroyed by a MMA not just Wing Chun. There is alot that is valuable in Wing Chun, it comes down to the way it is taught and practiced and applied. It can be great when used with other stars up martial arts. Bottom line though is that traditional martial artists approach is not the same as MMA. That doesn't mean there isn't valuable lessons and techniques to learn from arts like Wing chun though, we have seen many top level fighters in the UFC and other Organizations employ elements of Wing Chun as well as other Traditiinal Chinese Martial Arts into their repertoire, from Anderson Silva, Brian Ortega to Tony Furgeson, Ben Saunders,... Weili Zhang practices several different Traditional Chinese Martial Arts daily while training for fights in the UFC. I have seen some Sifus who teach Wing Chun side by side with Sanda and other instructors of Jui jitsu and Judo for MMA and modify their systems to those needs for that and have produced alot of competent fighters who compete.

Yes the weapon is just an exclamation point on what the empty hands can do

@@silvermediastudio curious way to formulate it but it make sens and i agree with you

This actually applies even against spears or other polearms is the crazy thing just hitting the shaft instead of the guys arm.

Tell me you do late italian sources without telling me you do late italian sources 😂

@@coronal2207 Right? I was thinking 'single time counters into grappling? Sounds like Fiore.'

Fencing background isn't useless in FMA. The biggest difference lies in methodology. In fencing, to counter advance is an action of opportunity. To counter advance in FMA, IS THE MINDSET... it IS the methodology. "Offend the offense". "Defang the serpent"... or whatever other version you've heard a hundred thousand times.

@@heresjonny666 Came here for this comment

Pretend to strike long, punch short.

In Karate, blocking is an attack, while in boxing blocking is defensive. In at least one FMA, blocking as a defence is taught as a last second movement to an unexpected attack, in which there is no time or distance to counter. So it is more advantageous to counter rather than to block defensively.

A sabonim should be able to block and attack at th same time traditional tkd teaches this aswell.

@@shogunshogun You don't block in boxing, you parry.

​@@irunwiththedead9777 My boxing coach and fights show fighters blocking. For example, the high guard is used strictly as a block; another guard is the low guard of the Peekaboo stance, a la Mike Tyson. Parrying is a type of blocking. Under the umbrella of blocking includes Catching as well. Genius old timers also used body parts to block, particularly the shoulder and the forearms.

@@shogunshogun I was taught to parry (redirect) an oncoming strike instead of blocking (absorbing) a strike in kickboxing. It just makes more sense. Less wear on your body.🤷‍♂️

There is a line in a medieval fencing manual in the Liechtenauer tradition, where the master says: "All fencers who only wait for the other to attack and do nothing but defend, will not have pleasure with the art. Furthermore, they will be beaten." There are times when a block is better than getting hit, but you're staying defensive with blocking. In order to win, you will need to gain the initiative and transition to the offensive. The most advanced strikes work into the timing of the opponent, take his initiative during defence and be an attack at the same time. Very similar from the concept the guy is showing here.

I'm pretty sure there have been boxers whose entire strategy was to block and absorb punishment until their opponent got tired, then more or less just push them over

@@emissarygw2264 You have to absolutely outskill the opponent to do that. Muhammad Ali was one of those boxers. And even then, he rarely get to do that. Generally they don't do that if they know the other guy are close to their level.

@@emissarygw2264 ​ Ah yes, the slugger style of boxing, duking it out, attrition style. Yes it is viable strategy, but it's usually used by some of the heaviest fighters out there, using their size to their advantage. The problem with that however is they're not so quick in movements and anyone who can constantly poke and do evasive maneuvers on them tend to be advanageous against them. Muhammad Ali is the best example of that since he's an outboxer who does that strategy.

@@mephisto8101 I heard a quote once dont remember from where but it was something along the lines of, a master fencer knows there actually are turns in combat but they're all his.

Very well written, nowadays martial arts is more about art and appreciation then actual practicality. I learned Wushu in highschool because the presentation they showed for the club was talking all about self defense and how its important in todays world blah blah, ended up joining it for 3 years and all I learned were some weird dance, how to punch air and dumb impractical close fight techniques with a lot of rules already set in it. Also learned how to rotate a stick so if i ever end up in a fight I can go searching for the closest stick to rotate it real fast and scare the enemies. Very useful indeed. Wanted to join boxing classes etc but was not an option. Seeing Practical martial arts like this is a relief :)

It goes back before film. As soon as fighting is done, people start asking, "but what if the stick master had fought the empty handed killer?". Folk take interest, because aggression is, inherently, and then ego joins. "Well of course they loose to weapons, but could anyone beat them without?" Becomes "well yes if the strikers arm gets caught by a grappler, they may loose, but how often is entangled combat applicable? I want to see to strikers fight", and were away from combat, back to sport and training, again. On the good of it, in peaceful times, someone who has trained for sport is typically more ready than someone who neither fights, nor trains.

@@Nischal_Kandel Punching air, that on made me laughy :) My Silat trainer actually kicks us in the groin if we do not aim straight at his face when he is demonstrating techniques. He rather gets his full force in the face then us learning how to not hit someone :P

The artistic movement in asian martial art was a form to pass down the skill. In villages most people can't read write, the dance movement was to memorize the techniques (kata in karate). Kalaripayat, kung fu, silat, kali, muay thai, all the same

not rly.

dnd barbarian fighting style.

they can't attack back if they're already dead.

"When a man tries to punch you, do not see it as an attack to be avoided. See it as an invitation to break his arm." sun tze, possibly.

Really similar to aikido too, but this is definitely more practical

I think he gave enough instruction here for people to experience self discovery of this combative approach. Good luck on your journey!! 🙏

💪🏽Meet him in Toronto or fly him out for a seminar🤙🏽

Every week...please and thank u

Pay for his seminars. Don't be a choosing begger.

It's called eskrima, it's a philipeno martial arts. Sometimes it's combined with isshinryu. Go find an instructor near you and learn it, it's a lot of fun!

I know the feeling

I know you meant Freestyle Martial Arts but for some reason my brain said full metal alchemist

@@wegocray3830 what if he meant filipino martial art?

@@cwalkinmark or yeah maybe that hahaha

What is the name of this master?. Very nice moves

its very similar to wing chun

Dude stop it with the pinoy pride. You’re embarrassing me as a pinoy. Just let people appreciate our culture without us rubbing it into their face…

@@chrisjlee2013 What's wrong with being prideful of one's culture?

@@siberian4429 There’s nothing wrong. But there’s a difference between being patriotic and prideful. And Filipinos love to put it into people’s face. It’s more embarrassing if you’re a Filipino yourself because the country is inherently messed up right now. It’s not even a developed country yet.

@@chrisjlee2013 ah I see then thanks for replying

Wouldnt it be simple to wear pads on the arms?

@@hubster4477 idk if there's pads for arms (not that im aware of). I used to train arnis and we only used the head piece and armor as protection while sparring. I frequently get hit on the arms because im stupid and it did hurt like hell but I just thought of it as part of the training.

@@clashes-pm9wx football pads have pads for forearms, as well as hockey. Heck even those foam water noodles taped on your arm would be better than taking hits on your bare arm. Just saw kendo pads for arms, they use raton cane to whack each other, they have pads all over. Maybe not as tough as stick fighters!😂

My father was an Arnis player. When I was younger, he got attacked by 4 men with knives. My father manage to survive even though he got some wounds in his hands. My father is so lucky because during in his younger age, too many Arnis gym around my town😉

@@Dg-xr3px 😵

what the f** Style???🙁

I think one thing FMA does right is pain conditioning. To keep fighting even in pain is what can determine the outcome when its outside of training

That requires practice and deep understanding of forms

FR this is what i do with wing chun i only use moves like wing arm sticky hands sticky feet so on and so forth until they try something different this opens free strikes every exchange i notice and really irks the person your facing. I can even keep up with karate and boxing with these though i dont know about high level tkd since i don't get to spar with headkicks often but i do have many double hands blocks so im sure i could survive.

@@dr.dylansgame5583 I do taichi push-hands through which I notice while doing the circling I can already see different angles how someone could attack. It's really helped my awareness, adaptability, and creativity with movements.

@@sillymesilly True, but I think the video also shows that minimal form is needed (the scissors block) in order to actually translate to training or real life. He basically does the same movement with both weapons and barehand, which is actually good if you consider that most life-death situations rely on instinct and less on proper form.

as bruce lee said “i dont believe in Japanese way or Chinese way of fighting unless you have more legs or arms than the other”

In Brazil, the african slaves developed the "Maculelê": a fighting style with 2 clubs disguised in a "dance". The disguise was needed to the guards don't discover they are practicing self defense.

The reason that all martial art styles have the same basic moves is the human body moves in only these movements ,so every style looks like they are coping someone elses style but they are not each style came up with identical styles because the way the body is built and moves.

Same goes for historical european martial arts. Surprisingly compatible with classical Kenjutsu, always a pleasure to fence with a kenjutsu practitioner or someone doing FMA.

despite all those differences, we all still share the same biomechanics

I wish my PE class had done anything useful like that. Instead we got competitive sports with a dock to half your grade if you didn't change into shorts...

same for me. I was in highschool 2006 to 2009. we're thought Arnis during the second year. I was 12-13 y/o

Yup 2nd yr HS was this. Sometimes it would break into a fight after hours tho. Hahaha. Cause someone hit another harder than the agreed strenght put on a strike.

​@@BaldorfBreakdownsif PE included sparring with sticks I would've actually remembered to bring my shorts.

If you want to learn it's better go on kali knife version since knife or any sharp object are very common weapon on the street. There's a two type of kali the stick and knife or any sharp weapon.

​@@nyctophilia6270 FMA originally has it all. Empty hand, knife, sword, machete, stick. It depends on the style you learn. Some do just stick fighting and "forgot" a lot, or doesnt learned. Some are still the real deal. Normally in good linages in Silat or FMA your body is the weapon. The others are just extended ( knife, parang etc. ) So your movement is the same. The principile is the same. What is changing is the range.

There is no this FMA ... there are different lineages. Like Kung Fu in China. So like everywhere in FMA you can of course have a lot of bullshit.

alternatively F for keyboards basically same system as deepwoken

@@relaity1496 my guy just said same system as deepwoken

chivalry 2 counterattacking

You're uncle is ilaga really? Fear by Muslim during those day I heard they were not being hit by bullet even if you shot them point blank

It was a weapon like what he said if you had someone to protect you don't have the luxury to block just try to end it in one strike.

Not really... It's extremely unlikely you'll ever end a fight with one hit, especially if your opponent is prepared and able to defend themselves. What Filipino systems, and styles like wing chun, teach is to treat every move by your opponent as an opportunity to attack them first. Limb destruction is a big part of that way of thinking.

​@@peterclarke7240 exactly. Not even knifes will end the fight in one attack consistently, so how come that unarmed combat can? I have started Judo when i was 4 years old and i can tell you that not even the takedowns will knock people out consistently, you will usually need to keep attacking them after the throw or run away.

Some think they are the real deal but arent. FMA is not FMA ... depends on the lineage and on your trainer/yourself. I love a lot of FMA styles. And i learned a lot from and with good people. But like everywhere it depends on people. And some dont understand or learnd from bullshido masters.

@JizzyPres sure, you can learn TKD from a mall, or you can learn from a killer. Also, you can learn from a mall and be a killer or learn from a killer and still be a mall cop. my point is I've only met killers, I haven't met a nerd teaching FMA

Same with knife too. Check knife punches of FMA.

@@IamGoth26 I agree, all are on the flow🌊

Actually, the blocking part is just the first step After you block/evade the attack using the stick/hand, you'll then attack to force the opponent to submit either by attacking head on or getting his weapon then attack.

Yeah, never underestimate your opponent. Especially if it's the real deal, aka real fight. Luckily i've never been in a real fight, hope i never will. But martial arts have prepared me so i will probably not make a total ass of myself. But considering my style i'll probably still lose. Weapon martial arts don't work as well without.... well.... weapons.

@@Klomster88 honestly there are a lot of martial arts which are adapted from using weapons, or was originally intended for battlefield purposes. I recently learned wing Chun was originally a dagger based martial art. I'm an amateur sumo wrestler, so I honestly am not too too worried about actual fights. In sumo we tend to have practices where you literally keep having matches until you either pass out or there is no-one fit enough to fight. And we do things like ironman matches where one person stay in the ring while the entire dojo tries to take them down one match after another. Durability and endurance is the name of the game, and we headbutt into eachother off the initial charge if that says anything. I too hope I don't have to get into a real fight again (had to fight off my next door neighbor that was trying to stab me with a kitchen knife when I was 13). But my way of having ease of mind is to always have myself at a level where I feel that I could beat every single person in the room into submission if need be.

@@zoidsfan12 Yikes, the neighnour thing sounds horrible. Glad you made it. I hope it hasn't left any lasting marks, physical or mental. As for the more martial arts stuff you mention. Heavy does have endurance things, we avoid passing out but we go until we have gone past that pep talk from the others. (You know where you normally feel like, 'yeah i'm done' but a friend/anyone goes 'come on! you can do one more!') To that stage, so honestly not that over the top. But lacking endurance (like i do, i suck at those) it's really noticeable how much effectiveness you lose as you get tired. The ironman staying in ring we sort of do. But the focus is different. We call it 'Man in the hole.' We line up in order of skill/training time. Then we fight every other person until we faced them all. One is encouraged to give 110%. Unlike regular training. This is tournament level fighting. Then, in the same order each opponent gives advice and/or a remark. You are NOT to argue, just nod and accept. (To avoid pointless chatting) Man in the hole can be very rewarding, especially if the span of people is a great one. Since one can really see the difference in skill levels, you practice on spotting things in others, you get to spar with the noobs all the way to the pro's. And you get ton of good advice, remarks on your form, compliments and wrongdoings. So yeah, i'd say it's good to do in all martial arts. Probably. Also Sumo is one of those that looks super funky and weird, but i wouldn't want to fight a sumo. They be huge yo! And i'm a big guy :P

@@Klomster88 rofl to the last part, yeah sumo is weird, even showing people the exercises I have to preface that it won't look elegant but it is functional. The man in the hole sounds like a very interesting way of doing it. As it can kinda avoid the randomness we get in sumo. Because sumo is completely open weight, so your Ironman matches may be small guy, small guy, small guy, big guy. Or you might win against the king of the ring, go to start your streak and get taken down immediately because the biggest and most experienced dude in the dojo was up next. We also have a type of matches we do in preparation for tournaments. There are two types, 3 matches win or lose you stay in. So your first match you may have the match of your life and feel like you are bout to die afterwards and immediately have a dude ready for another match. The other type is round robin matches, we draw up a tournament bracket and everyone in the dojo ends up getting a match with everyone else. And holy hell I have never been so dead after a practice. Round robin matches are the type where you aren't even watching matches by the last 3 or so because you are fighting just to get your breathing under control and not puke. But it's a mutual thing, the first thing we let people know before they do it is if at any point you don't feel like you can continue/don't want to you don't have too. The dojo only charges $10 a practice because we know the likelihood of getting hurt is extremely high compared to other sports. That the nutty thing too, we are literal babies by comparison to the Japanese scene. The Japanese scene is you literally living at a sumo stable where you spend every single day doing 10 hours of sumo exercises and hours of matches. And regarding the neighbor incident, I appreciate your good wishes. I went through about a decade of PTSD, drowned my emotions in hedonism and excess so I didn't have to to address it. But hey, if it wasn't for going through that I wouldn't have gotten as into martial arts as I did. Because it was the constant fear that anyone and everyone could try to kill me that made me start religiously working out and shadowboxing on the daily. Buddhism was honestly the big thing that started my healing from the PTSD and got me to the point I am now where I can talk about without getting stuck in a flashback and recount loop.

@@zoidsfan12 Round robin is something we do to. Just a practical way of organizing a tournament. Also, i might not have emphazised, you fight everyone present, no matter if you win or lose. The focus is learning, it doesn't matter if you win or lose. Man in the hole is more of a 'check where people are in their path of martial arts' thing, since everyone does it. So at the end of the day, everyone will know each other better, be more knowledgeable of their own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone gets to fight everyone. But it's not a tournament thing nor a common practice thing. It's a thing where we invite people from the neighbouring groups, get a whole lot of blokes and just everyone get better at what we do. And nice that you found Buddhism, and that things seem to have worked out for ya. :)

Hello Sir Im from philippines, have you already know the original mongoose martial arts..

you can slow the play speed down, in Settings (cog wheel icon)

IMO..Firma and Silat..is not art of fighting..instead..they are art of KILLING 👹

What my grandma used to say so yeah

Its beacause fma style is a well rounded style, from bare hands to stick to sharpened weapon,. The style and the basics all are still applied

You need to test your art against real aggression. This demo lacked that. Think instead of people like Emin, Bill Newman, Rene Latosa. They understand fighting.

@@VTSifuSteve Thanks for the sugestion! I agree with you, we need to test to see what really works and how to improve it. My lineage has its origins in the methodology of Sifu Martin Dragos (former partner of Emin). We recently disassociated ourselves from Sifu Martin Dragos precisely because he said he was against Sparring. This opinion (among other factors) was against the martial art view of self-defense of my Sifu, and also of mine.

@@VTSifuSteve In my School we are all big fans of Emin too. One of the few that really developed WT to really combat. Both my Sifu's are ones too and i wish to reach this level soon.

I think what the philipino chuck norris is saying is that it actually would end in two .... unleass you counting the body dropping if front of the yellow cloth

I also like to say jkd-ish, but jkd was a principle that bruce lee thought should be applied by traditional chinese; only to find out that FMA and other southeast asian martial arts in general, apply the principle he thought long before he thought of it.
