[QUOTE=Yoshiyahu;1150262]Exactly, Doing it constantly while striking is difficult and takes practice against a resisting opponent. But once mastered it will keep your opponent so off balance he will not be able to defend whilst getting attacked! Some Wing Chun lineages do push people away. But then you have to regain contact, bridge and connection. To me it defeats the purpose to push a person out of range to have to re-anticipate their attack or bridge the gap over and over. Once connection is made I believe one should continously attack while creating new bridges…Every time you Fajin the person to disrupt their structure you create a new bridge. In my Lineage we do this by Jut Sau or jerking arm. We also Push the person an then suddenly jerk them back with a punch while striking them again. Continously off balancing them. If an opponent has no balance he can not strike with his root! No Root, no connection, no real power![/QUOTE]
Hi Hendrik,
would u also say this is how you use the bounce in Yik Kam’s wing chun as well?
[QUOTE=Hendrik;1150388]So, what is and how to fajing? Care to share?[/QUOTE]
Actually i was asking you how do you fajin…i wanted you to share how you fajin with your snake energy!!!
Fajin simply means explosive force or explosive energy…How i do it is different ways. One Fajin is with in the jut sau. We train external and internal aspects to build this…Another is in the different forces we use to punch. Two of which is explosive and snapping. The explosive one vibrates at the end of the strike. the snapping one is self explantory…there is also a whipping force. I dont utilize or practice it much. My Sihing and Sidai utilizes the whipping motion more. It is not as direct or linear in my estimation so i dont utilizing it as much. But the key is to utilize the five keys to generating power…which are…The entire body via your horse or footwork. Step into the punch to drive your weight behind your strikes to add power, the second key is the breath exhale upon striking your opponent. the third key is be relaxed when striking do not tense up, do not hold your breath, upon contact snap or vibrate at in to send your jing through the surface to the internal. The fourth step is use your waist in connection with your horse for additional power that means as you step turn into the strike. The fifth step is utilize your curl to expand or split the body as you strike. The Full Realization of this technique is called Rotating stepping side Punch. We also have fajin in our wrist so to speak…We train the Fajin internally when we do the forms and practice isolated techniques in the air. We train them externally when we apply them on the wooden dummy in isolated drills and freestyle techniques as well as san shou drills. This motion is short energy generated from the entire body but expelled by the wrist. In other words you punch I bil sau or wu sau to intercept. Upon intercepting you feel a pain or shock because my wrist turning causes your force to be deflected. Its the elbow driving the vehicle but its the wrist shooting out the window of that car. In a drive by shooting you have a driver and a shooter. The Wrist is the shooter and the driver is elbow. The Jing is like a whipping or cutting deflection in a way but its short…its hard for me to explain in words…i really have to show you. When i show you…then you will be like you already do the same thing. I could relate one motion to your videos. One talking about the snake engine and how you had the fist turn up. You illustrated a cutting motion. Its the same exact thing only utilize with each and every technique. The idea is not to block force but to deflect it and then turn it off!
In short we dont just use Fajin for one technique…We use it for many. From striking, to deflecting to pushing to pulling.
