Realistic Drills
Hear is a realistic drill.
There was this hood girl right. She asked me about my Art…I said I train Wing Chun. She said what is that. I told her a little she said that stuff sounds like something for people who can’t fight…She asked can I use it…I said sure. I told her to hit me as hard as she could in my chest. She threw punch but it was way out of range it didn’t even make contact with my guards. So I said listen really hit me. She was like don’t hit back okay…I assured her…So What I did so she could know how to punch was put my hands behind my back an let her get a free hit with out me defending…So she hit me as hard as she could in my chest and stomach before I could say okay not pun…ch. I just use my breath to absorb it. Then I said okay again…So she threw her hard punch and it was kinda of low so I bong sau. Since she was trying to wallop me again upon impact she hurt her arm with my bong sau deflecting her force she drop to her knees. An was like what the f*** was that man your arms feel like metal or something…
An then again at a Tai Chi class. I told this big huge guy…he is like 6’8" are something I am 5’8" I told him to throw a round house. He threw a low one. I told him to throw it higher. I high low gan sau his left leg two or three times. He switch legs. An I did the same to his right leg. He said after about three times of thats enough and shook his leg off. He never said how my arms felt. But when he stop firing his hard hits I knew.
Later I had him throw random punches..So I could defend against it. He typically only threw punches with his right. So it was more like a drill rather in realistic.
So I had to coach him to really make contact with me. He kept pulling his punches and holding it back. So I grap his fist an pulled it to my chest said stop the punch here. So he threw a punch a couple more times the guy I guess was afraid to hit me in the chest or something. Anyway When he was ready an did hit my chest then I started defending. When Intercepted his guards he felt his balance go. I told him to hit harder. Like he was trying to knock me over with his punch. When he did that i bil sau his arm. It must felt like a cut to his arm because then he switch up to the left. An then we had a little exchange. I showed him jum sau when he punch low. He was surprise that it stung his arm so much.
Also another time my Sihing and I were doing Chum Kiu. We were comparing Yip Man’s CK to that of Yuen Kay San CK. anyway some young teens came by an asked does that stuff work. My Sihing said oh come on throw some punches. The big guy asked him if he was going to hit him back…He said no. So the guy threw his punches. My Sihing simply pak sau continously. The young guy didnt land a blow.
So these are realistic drills. Practice your techniques with different people. The best way to get random challenges is to practice at a park or somewhere public someone will eventually come over an start asking questions. An wonder if it really works.
We should try to practice realistic drills with one another an others. Try different things. For instance drill one…
1.Work on trapping. (Have your opponent fire punches at you while you attempt to trap and hit him).
2.Work on defense against kicks(Have your partner fire random hard kicks while you defend).
3.Work on accuracy and timing(Pick one place to hit your partner be it the left cheek or middle of the chest. While they throw punches and kicks at you hard).
4.Work on Deflecting hard attacks by defending and evading only.
These are realistic drills they hard and you don’t know whats coming.
