Just wonderin

Yeah I use a speed ball. Great for timing though not for proper form.

Cyborg, have you ever done Wing Chun, and if so, how did it benifit your training?

I’ve never used either but id be interested to hear from anyone who uses them in their training.
The speed bag is really fun and very zen. You can do a lot of intersting things to develop your rhythm, like overhand/backhands, one handing it, double hitting (rolling one fist right ontop of the other). It also helps you keep you hands up for a long time.
The double string bag is interesting because if you don’t hit it square, it boings around wildly. Also you can bob and weave around it. Good for developing reflexes and straight punches.
double end bag is great
at my school we are planning to get a double end bag. my sifu has a boxing background. he saise its great for acuracy

Sure it’s great for rythm, hand-eye coordination, and all that fun stuff, but how will it improve your Wing Chun?
By improving your rhythm, hand eye coordination, and all that stuff.
Again… how do you think that stuff is good for your Wing Chun?
You tryin to say yer WingChun has no need for reflex, speed, rhythm, nor hand-eye coordination?
I’m not TRYING to say anything… Are you trying to say that it does?
Does anyone know if yip man used a speed ball?

A VERY interesting question Teebas…
Speedbags?
Someone sez:You tryin to say yer WingChun has no need for reflex, speed, rhythm, nor hand-eye coordination?
Someone else asks:
Does anyone know if yip man used a speed ball?
With anonymity and skimpy profiles- hard to tell… are you sure you guys are dong wing chun?
Ouch
interesting reply yuenfan…i agree
im sure im doing wing chun and i aint ever used a speed bag and i doubt i will ever need too, although i do do other things to improve my speed and hand eye coordination
Does anyone know if yip man used a speed ball?
Yip Man probably did not use a speed bag, but he probably didn’t use a Wing Chun Internet Forum either. That doesn’t mean that either isn’t useful.
While I do not use a speed ball I can see how it can improve accuracy and speed against a moving target.

Continued blessings in your life and your training.
The key to understanding is to open your mind and your heart and then the eyes will follow.
I use a speed bag. It can help Wing Chun by increasing you speed, reflexes and rythm. I know this was already said but it seems like it needs to be said again.
If you use different types of hand strikes on it you can increase your striking speed and coordination. Chain punching a speed bag is fun too.
Ok Ok Ok - I just joined the crowd… the majority cant all be wong or ho or yip. Therfore “soon” I will change my wing chun training regimen to speed bags, heavy bag. tied down bag, medicine ball. rope skipping, bench pressing, jogging, reading the internet more, triathlons, steer wrestling, loaded push ups, chin ups,
heavy hand and heavy leg weight attachments. Maybe head guards, shin guards and play on the boom box Ronstadt’s Show me the Way to san jose. After all she was a Tucson. Arizona gal.Hey Yip are ya going my way? Watch out for
